So the famous and frivilous Vermont
legislature Of the year of Our Lord.
Nineteen Hundred and Eight. has final
u adjourned and the members have
liked reluctantly away to their homes
on the hillside. There seemed to be n
disposition on the part OF a majority
to stay right along through springtime
and harvest and inst loaf around. tell
stories and swap lies Our last legisla-
tme was the biggest. costlieSt and most
useless aggregation OF pretended law

Cut Down The Number Of Legislators.

The people OF Vermont are beginning
to realize that the only way TO prevent
our legislature from growing enormous.
" expensive is TO cut down the number
Of legislators. The recent session cost
the people no less than $4,000 more
the compensation and requisites Of It's
members alone, TO say nothing of the
increased appropriations. the total hav-
ing been $4,000 as compared with
only $4,000, two years previous. At
the present rate Of expansion OF legis-
latiye expense it will be only a short
time before it will cost the people OF
Vermont 100000 for every legislative
session in addition 10 the eyery-in-
ereasing sums demanded for special APP
preparations.
The session Of the legislature just
closed has prepared the way as never
before for a victorious movement for
economy and legislative reform, and
unless we mistake the temper Of the
people, such move will be one Of the
features of the state campaign in 1910.
The surest way to bring about this re-
form is to reduce the number OF legis-
lators in the House Of Representatives,
leaving the Senate constituted nmeri-
cally as at present. The great state Of
Few York has reduced its representa-
ton in the lower branch of the legisla-
tre to $50 members, and Vermont could
well get along with less, and at the
same time increase the efficiency Of
that body.
This reform can be contaminated
without taking away the balance of
power from the smaller towns. as q mo
ment's consideration will show. 1t was
demonstrated last September, for ex-
ample, that the votes of the smaller
towns could take away representative
from Burlington in the Senate, if they
co-operated at the polls; and the same
thing would be true if representatives
were elected by districts instead Of By
towns. This would be still truer Of
other counties having no smaller cities
or no cities at all Were the district
system to prevail the small towns would
still control the legislature.
On the other hand a reduction Of the
number Of members in the House from
PIG to say 146 would save the expense
Of 100 legislators or from $4,000 to
$4,000 according to the length of SEES
sion and the standard Of legislators Sc
cured would be raised, az shown by the
experience Of every other state which
has changed from the town to the dis
trict system of legislative representa-
ton.
IF there Is any good reason why this
reform and measure of economy should
not be instituted by the people of Yer.
mont st the very FIRST opportunity, we
would ike to see it advanced -Burling-
ton Free Press.

PRESBYTERIANS ARE
 BEATEN AT MARION

Marion. Oct. 27.--(special )--Flushed d with an unbroken series of victories, the football team of the Apniston Pres byterian College went down in defeat this afternoon before the strong team of the Marion Institution. The visitors were outgeneraled and outplayed in every department of the game, and were on the defensive throughout. The final score was s to c. but twice more the Marion eleven marched the length of the field under the shadow of the goal posts of the visitors.
 The Marion team did not find tt nec- essary to unmask any trick plays. but played straight, safe football and was saving the best men and plays for the game next Monday.
 The game was marked by the bril- liant playing of Captain Savage in the line. of Graves, the light quarterback. and of Heath in the back field. Cap- tain Savage and tho Marion line re- peatediy rapped the visitors line Into shreds and threw the Anniston back for loss. A forty-yard run by Heath. after catching a punt was the most spectac- ular feature of the game.
 For the visitors. noteworthy playing was the individual work of Allen. in the back field, and the Presbyterian athletes played plnckslY until time was called.

 This was the declaration of Barney oidfeid yesterday afternoon after he had walked around the mile oval at Vandiver Park. over which he Is to drive on Saturday afternoon which has been set aside as Automobile Day at the fair. Barney oldfield arrived in Montgom- cry yesterday at noon. and is the guest or General Passenger Agent !. P Bill iups or the Western Railway, on his private car which is parked at the Union Station.
 He Is the same old Barney who has thrilled million persons in all sec- tions of the country, and who has smashed through c dozen fences in his mad efforts to clip a record by c fifth of a second or so.
 This is oldhelds first visit to Mont- gomery. but when he leaves for his next stand those who see him drive over the local track will probably know more about speed and the attendant thrills than they do now. Oldheld's great 120 horse power car is ready for the starters pistol and as miles in fifty three or fifty-four sec- onds are but "breezes" for Barney over the circular tracks. the indications are that mark around those figures will be the result of his exhibition drive.

 This morning Oldfeld will drive in the parade, using his touring car, as his racing machine cannot be run at a lower speed than forty miles an hour.
