VERMONT IN THE UNITED STATES
SEN ATE.

The Green Mountain State has been
represented in the upper branch of
Congresn so uninterruptedly by men
OF marked ability that we do not re-
akze how we would feel were we re-
duced to the representation Of an oc-
casional State which could be named
In that connection. Our present Uni
ted States senators are no exception
to the rule. and the splendid manner
In which they have been treated in
connectioo with the distribution OF
committee places is we'll set forth by
the Burlington News in the following
concise manner:
Senator Carroll s. Page Is we'll used
in the rearrangemen: of the standing
committees Of the Senate, in view of
the fact that Junior senators are to be
seen, not heard. and mus: take the
leavings of the seniors.
Senator Page is chairman of the
committee on standards. weights and
measures. and a member Of the COM
mittees on agriculture and forestry,
claims. expenditures in the department
of agriculture. Industrial exposition.
to examine the several branches OF
the civil service. and on Indian at
fairs-seven assignments, in all.
Senator Dillingham; remains chair
man OF the committee on Inaugural
tion, and Is also member of the
committees on judiciary, conservation
of national resources. District of Co
lumbia. expenditures In navy depart
ment. privileges and elections, Terri
tories. and university of the United
Etates-a total of eight assignments
Our senators are doing very well.
In view Of the fact that long SER
vice is usually held to be necessary 20

cure deserved recognition in connec-
ton with tho distribution OF the mora
important positions on committees It
Ia evident our Vermont senators have
no reason to complain OF the manner
in which they have been treated in

PROGRESS OF THE IDEA OF A
SMALLER HOUSE.

We reprint In another column an
editorial from the facile pen OF Edi-
tor Fred f. Whitney Of the Mortified
News, showing his appreciation Of
the merits OF the proposition to Sc
cure a reduction in the size OF our
present unwieldy and expensive Leg
islature without in any way interfer-
ing with the efficiency OF that body
and without weakening the influence
and power of the smaller towns as
compared with the cities and larger
towns.
We believe that when the citizens
Of the smaller towns consider this
whole matter without prejudice and
with full understan ding of all the
features OF the proposition. they will
inevitably reach the conclusion that
1t would be wantonly wasteful to con-
tinue our present system OF legisla-
tive representation, when by provid-
ing for reduction our taxpayers
could be saved anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000 according to the length Of

THE SOUTH POLE AND THE NORTH

II II is true, is announced that
ton of the British navy has discovered
the South Pole or found the spot where
It ought to grow, the public may ex-
pect rapid multiplication OF efforts
to reach that poles antipode. 1t has
been generally supposed that the
North Pole would be discovered before
its rival. interest in the Antarctic
region, as Walter Wellman of polar
exploration fame points out, growing
out almost entirely of questions per-
tanning to the existence and extent OF
the so-callcd glazier continent In
the North the pole has been the chief
point Of interest, and this explains
why we have heard so much about
dashes for it by intrepid explorers.
The Shackelton expedition left Eng
land in July, 1907, on the barkentne
Nmrod apparently a well-named
craft; ard already reports are in cir
culatior that whilo it has returned
With glad tidings. it failed of secur-
ing complete success
Should the report that the Shackle-
ton expedition has reached the South
Pole prove correct. a dream. of nari-
gators that has inspired many earlier
and futile attempts will have been
realized The furthest point south
heretofore reached was 20 degrees so
minutes. where c. f. Borchgrevink.
a Norwegian explorer. arrived on
March II, 1900. The magnetic posi-
ton of the South Pole has been fixed
at about latitude 70 degrees 90 min
utes south and 146 east.
Commander Robert +. Peary attain
ed and now holds the record for farth-
est north, but the chances are in the
light of the latest development in the
opposite region he will not stand
alone long.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
THE TROUT SEASON.
(From the Bennington Banner

Fishermen should bear in mind that
II Is now contrary TO law to fish in waters
inhabited by trout except during the open
season for trout fishing. Under the old
law 1t was possible to fish for suckers
in trout streams during the close season
as there was no penalty unless it could
be shown that trout were caught. Tina
privilege was so much abused however,
and 80 many trout were taken illegally
that tho law was changed and there Is
now penalty for fishing or attempting
10 fish in trout waters at any time ex-
ccpt when trout fishing is permitted.
1t is now also against the law to catch
or have in ones possession over six
pounds of brook trout in one day. Tho
old law allowed the taking of ten pounds.
Including having in possession" is de-
signed to make the law more easily en-
forced. as under tho old law, fishermen
if they had over the ten pound limit
would claim that part were caught the
day before.
The other changes in the trout fishing
laws are not important. The penalty
for fishing for hire or for selling trout
is made little moro severe and tie
wording Is changed so as to be more
easily enforced Fish wardens are given
some additional powers, being now all
lowed TO get out warrants on their own
complaint and to sorvc warrants for fish
and game law violations.
The trout open season remains the
same as before. from May Is TO August
10, except in Windham county. where
the open season is April - to July Is.
This, it will be seen gives them no longer
season In that county. merely opening Il
and closing it a month earlier. If this
change proves a success in Windham
county it is likely to become n general
state law in two years. Fishermen will
therefore watch results in Windham
county this year and next with special
interest.
Tho open season for lakes and ponds
is now the same as for streams, instead
OF month longer as before.

Let our small towns bear constantly
in mind that the proposition we adj
vocate Ia to prevent any city however
large from having any more than
one representative. as at present, and
to distribute the remaining represent

The esteemed Barre Times asks "if
we renounce the honor which Mr.. Ide's
appointment to Spain has conferred on
the State. where we shall look for a
substitute honor with the expectation
of realizing it?" II Vermont must de-
pend on her sons who go out of the
State to gather all its federal plums
for 1t, then we must add still another
reason to the list Of reasons why It
Is good State to leave. We are
heartily glad Judge Ide haa secured
this honor. but his relations with the
State are such that we do not believe
his appointment should prevent some
worthy Vermonter who is an inhabi-
tant of the State in every sense of the
word from obtaining recognition at the
hands Of President Tafts administra-
ton.

CHANGING DATE OF LEGISLATURE.
(E.rOm the Rutland NeWS.l

Allen II. Fletcher of Cavendish. chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee of the House of Representatives, be-
lieves that the Legislature should con-
vene in winter instead Of in the fall.
He says: II am frank to say should
favor a change of date from early in
October to the first week in January.
Many members of the Legislature have
business duties pressing upon thcm dur
ing the fall and early wi1ter which
must he attended to and which natural
~ interfere with close attention TO the
business of lawma<ing. These demands
would in the case Of a ma ority OF
the members. not be so urgent in Jam
uary and February I am Of the OPP
iuion that the State would get better
service from its representatives. and
more time be available for serious con-
sideration Of important measures, If the
session were held with the opening OF
the new year. II must be remembered
that fall sessions are the exception and
not the rule. among the States gener-
ally"
Resides this would give the legislators

THE TARIFF BILL AND VERMONT
Products.

1t is natural that the people of YER
mont. while joining with those of 9TH
err States in clamoring for tariff re-
vision. should be just human enough
to scan the provisions of the Payne
tariff bill to see how their OK is gore1.
Tho farmers of Vermont have little
reason to complain, as n glance at the
schedule of agricultural; products ard
provisions will show.
According to the bill! as introduced
in the House, very few OF the duties
on agricultural products are changed.
Cattle less than one year old would
pay a duty of 81 per head; all other
cattle. If valued at not more than sl4
per head. 1913 per head, and If valued
at more than s14. twenty-seven and
one-half per centum according to the
value. Horses and mules, valued at
$50 per head would pay duty of $50
per head. and If worth more, twenty
five per cent according to the value.
OlHt' animals WOulu pay uuty DIS
follows: Swine. $3.50 per head; sheep
one year old or over, sl.bO per head;
sheep. less than one year old, nifty
cents per head; all other live animals
not specially provided for. twenty per
cent. according to the value
The chief change in the grain duties
is that relating to barley which would
pay a duty Of fifteen cents a bushel
instead OF thirty. The duty on other
Buckwheat. fifteen cents; corn, fifteen
cents; oats fifteen cents; rye. ten
cents; wheat. twenty-five cents.
The duties on dairy products would
also remain unchanged. as follows:
Butter and substitutes therefor. six
cents a pound; cheese and Its subst-
tutes, six cents a pound; fresh milk,
two cents per gallon; cream. five cents
per gallon.
The duty on cabbages is reduced
| from three cents apiece to two cents
beets are taxed twenty-five per cent.
| ad valorem, and other principal gar
den and field products remain un-
| changed as follows Beans. forty five
cents per bushel; dried peas, thirty
cents per bushel; hops, twelve cents
per pound; potatoes, twenty-five cents
per bushel: onions. forty cents per
bushel hay, 81 per ton; straw. $3.50
per ton.
| Maple sugar and maple syrup pays
a duty OF four cents pound; poultry,
alive, three cents per pound; dressed,
five cents per pound; eggs by the doz-
en-, five cents.
| Turning to other products in which
Vermont is particularly interested we
find that the duty on lumber. speaking
in general terms is cut fifty per cent,
that on sawed lumber Of the kinds
commonly used being put at 81.
The duty on marble in the rough
remains unchanged at sixty-iivc cents
per cubic foot; but the duty on mar
