sherlffs and DEPUTIES.

A deputy sheriff of considerable
reputation in his home town and
county writes the Herald as follows;
All the newspapers of the country
have been finding fault with the
salary grabbers | think their pay
should be five dollars a day and limit
the time to 20 days. In that time all
the laws necessary to run Vermont
could be made. 1t is not necessary
for representatives to go there to
have a good time and do nothing.

more | think they must have original

They have amended section 6210 Of
the statutes cut out the clause that
allows officers 10 cents a folio for
copies. AS It is now all a sheriff or
deputy can charge is 10 cents a mile

for a copy of a writ.

6254. Is there any law that compels

HERALD ADVOCATES GRAFT

Elsewhere in THIS issue the Banner
reprints another yowl emitted by the
Rutland Herald which is Characters
tic in the cheap mendacity of that
papers methods when it speaks of the
recent session of the legislature
A deputy sheriff somewhere has dis
covered that his fee and mileage graft
has been cut off by one of the sensible
acts of the recent legislature. He
forthwith ushes to the Herald with
his tale of woe, knowing that any
thing he said in abuse of the legisla.
ture would be gleefuly accepted by
the Herald.
The time was when the Herald was
opposed to the fee system and in fav-
or of doing away with It, but just now
the chief thing the Herald favors is
anything to SANDER and discredit the
Legislature of 1908. Without waiting
to investigate the facts, and forgetful
Of its former pretensions, It hastens
to jump into the arena in defence of
the old grating system, the evils OF
which have been repeatedly shown up
in the Herald's news columns during
the past few years
Now we do not know that the new
law will be success but we do know
II to be an honest attempt to do away
with an abuse that has given rise to
many petty scandals in this state.
Briefly the scope of the act is this 1t
puts the sheriff OF the county on a
salary instead Of on fee basis. All
criminal warrants emanating from the
county court, grand jury or states at
torney go into his hands. All com.
mitments to the penal institutions are
his to make. In short II is made the
duty Of the sheriff to make service OF
all criminal process returnable to the
county or supreme courts or to the
governor and for this he gets a mod
crate salary instead of fees. He can
do the actual work himself or he can
employ the deputies but If he employs
the deputies he must pay them out
of his salary except in certain cases
and on no excuse can they run up fee
bills against the state as under the old
law. Deputy sheriffs are not inter
tered with In the matter OF civil pro
cess when the costs are paid by the
parties in litigation and where they
get most of their business. They can
also serve criminal process returnable

in justice and municipal courts, but
the fees are scaled down and limited
After long and honorable record
in fighting the fee system in Vermont
we are sorry to see the Herald reverse
itself and line up with the grafters
just because of its petty spite against
the legislature.
The other contention as to tax col
lectors brought forward by the Herald
and its friend the deputy who wants
his old graft back is almost to absurd
to talk about Under the state law
most towns collect their taxes, that
lis those which are paid promptly
through the town treasurer, but some
few towns allow their collectors 10
collect all the taxes Where town
treasurers receive taxes they are not
allowed to make any extra costs for
the taxpayers who come in and pas
voluntarily within the ninety days
commonly allowed, but under the old
law the collectors could in certain ca
ses make extra costs. The new law
simply forbids collectors to make any
extra costs for the taxpayers who pay
within the ninety days discount per
lod. IL also limits the costs than car
be wrung out of the poor devils who
are behind and from whom collections
have to be forced The new law is q
good one and creditable step in ad
vance.
We fear that the deputy sheriff who
criticises it is also a collector of tax
es and thinking more of mis- private
pocketbook than of the public wei
fare.

LIQUOR SELLING TO MINORS.

During and since the recent cam
paign over the question of license or
no license in Bennington the Banner
has printed several communications
in which the statement has been made
openly or the insinuation plainly in
tended that the local liquor dealers
are in the habit of selling to minors
knowingly We thought at the time
that these statements were made
rather in prejudice than with a full
knowledge Of facts. and therefore dur
ing the past few days we have caused
little investigation and test to be
made by persons. strangers in Ben
nington.
AS a result we are convinced that
the local dealers do not Intentionally
sell to minors. They are doubtless
occasionally fooled by young men who
lie about their age. There are two
ways in which the minors in this town
procure liquor One is to hire one
of the low down loafers, of which there
are few in every town, to go and buy
liquor for them In return the mes
senger gets a drink or two The other
and most common method is for the
boys to go or send to Walloomsac or
the Farmers Inn and get liquor in
quantity,
The remedy is not so easy to find.
We are inclined to think that the vii.
Iage needs a little extra police force
for a time at least and an earnest
effort made to find out who are act
! ing as messengers and enforce the law
in regard to them One Waterman
hired by private subscription cannot
do everything. Secondly it might be
a good thing to arrest DRINKS a little
more promptly which can hardly be
done at present with our limited po
lice force Thirdly the states attor
ney should investigate most carefully
at least one so called boys club room
on Main street. According to report
there is ample evidence easily to be
had. Fourthly and most important
Of all, parents of minor sons should
keep track OF them better. They
should curtail their spending money
unless they know where it goes and
if the boys are earning money and
wasting it in dissipation the parents
should collect the wages and at least
regulate the spending.
The Banner believes that the sale
of liquor is better controlled in Ben
nington than in almost any other
town in Vermont, license or no IL
cense The local liquor dealers are
not wilfully selling to minors for it
would be the height of folly for them
to risk their license and their bust
ness for the trivial profit from few
small sales. Even II they wanted to
break the law they wouldn't do it for
they are not fools, but as long as
liquor selling is allowed in New York
state to anybody big enough to walk
we are exposed to good deal OF
trouble in this direction and should
do all in our power to limit the evil.
