FOSTER PLANS REFORM
Seeks Rule to Recall Bills Buried in
Committee.

Boston March 19.-Congressman d.
J. Foster of Vermont, one of the most
conservative Of the insurgents, pre-
diets that the house rules will be still
further modified before this congress
adiourns, says a Washington cores
pondent OF the Globe.
Mr.. Foster has been working to Sc
cure a provision under which the
House will be able to recall a bill
from a committee in case the commit.
tee failed to report it within reason
able time. Mr. Foster thinks that
this provision should be to the effect
that on suspension day, two Mondays
in a month, it will be in order for any
member to move to take a bill from
committee and pass it.
II the majority of the House sus-
tains such motion, Mr.. Foster says,
the practice of committees of burying
bills and refusing to report them even
adversely will be stopped. An amend
ment of the character outlined, Mr.
Foster says, will go far toward res
toring the power and dignity to the
House.

DEPUTY sHeRiFF's FEES
State Auditor Graham Writes Letter
on the Subject

state Auditor Horace r. Graham
has written a letter 10 Che Burlington
Free Press on the subject OF fees OF
d.pu. sherins. The letter is as fol-
lows.
Ny attention has been called to a
news item in your issue OF the 10Th
inst. from Brattleboro, Deputy
Sheriffs may go on strike.
So tar as the auditing Of the State
accounts is concerned. the six cents
reading fee is the only change in fees
allowed for the service Of criminal
process AS subpoenas are usually
served by copy this only affects the
fee for reading and arrest, making it
fifty cents instead of fltysix cents.
AS to The ten cent folio fee. Sec
ton $50. C2j2 allows officers and per-
sons whose duty I'd is 40 record pro
ceedings or give copies. seven cents
per folio. Section SO. 1878. p S.
allows court reporters for copies, five
cents per folio Section SO. 62le p.
S.. formerly allowed sharius and con-
stables. ten cents per folio per COPY
/ In 1924 seventeen cents was allowed
for each copy IN 1889 this became
seven cents per folio The revision
of 1880 increased this to ten cents
per folio. During all this time the
fee allowed officers aud persons for
recording and giving copies remained
at seven cents per folio.
Why should a reported furnish a
copy for five cents. a sheriff or con
stable ten cents and town clerk or
county clerk seven cents per folio?
That ten cents is too much or five
cents per folio not enough, is mat
ter Of opinion, but certainly the fee
for like service should be uniform
In my opinion sheriffs and con
stables are included in the word
Officers" in section No. 6262 and
when they are required to give a
copy in the service of process they
have a right to tax the folio fee or
charge provided for. in that section.
see from the article that seventy
FIVE cents has been the usual charge
for the copy Of a justice writ and one
dollar for the copy of a county court
writ. In my travels about the State
find that these charges are not uni
form. If any one will count up the
average justice or county court writ
he will find that it is not in comph
ance with section No. 6210. P. S. II
is a matter Of custom varying in the
different counties. Having in mnt
section No. 62G2, ! doubt if any law
yer viii object on the taxation o
costs to the allowance OF seventy
five cents for copies of justice writi
and one dollar for copies of count,

KILLED BY DOGS
Buck Pulled Down Aimos. Within
Wilmington Village Limits.


Friday afternoon of last week Geo.
Carpenter, who lives ON The him just
south Of the yulage, reported that two
dogs had just killed d deer near his
sugar house SAYS the Wilmington
Times. and a number of citizens. i'm
Guiding Deputy Warden Bellows were
soon ON the scene.
The two dogs were stin hanging
around the carcass. and though Meth
er wore a collar. both were well mark
ed for future identification. Warden
Bellows started out TO effect the caps
ture OF one of the dogs, but after fol-
took 20 the travelled road and the trail
took tothe travelled road and the trail
was lost.
The other dog, a black and white
mongreL soon returned 10 the scene
of the kim and an attempt was made
to capture it. but it skunk away into
the brush and soon disappeared AS
darkness was approaching the chase
was abandoned and the carcass of the
deer was brought to the village by
/ Warden Bellows.
The ferocity Of the dogs in making
this kill was something appalling.
The snow covering the space of half
an acre was rodden down and blood
stained They seemed to have con
fined their attack to the deers TANKS,
which were torn to ribbons, the for.
ward parts showing no marks of their
assault Several spots showed where
the deer had made a stand and fought
OFF the dogs while others showed that
the dogs had pulled the deer down
and torn strips Of hide and hair from
I his TANKS. The deer had apparently
recently shed his antlers and was
compelled to depend on his hoofs
alone for defense That he used
these well the marks in the snow and
the condition of the dogs when seen
the next day fully testified.
Saturday morning Warden Bellows
accompanied by two citizens who
We're prepared to positively identify
the dogs, started out to locate them
Both dogs were easily found and their
ownership established, when a hitch
occurred in the proceedings through
inability to get in communication with
the county warden or the state at

Later however, County Warder
Frost was notified and came ovel
Monday and took possession Of tn,
deer's carcass and assumed control o
the case Further developments vii

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.
The privileged corporations and

islation~ are rapidly "getting wise
to- the tremendous menace Of direct
legislation to special interests.
with the Initiative to propose
Jaws that corrupt legislators would
piseonhole, with the referendum to
veto laws that corrupt legislators
pass, and with the, recall to impeach
and remove corrupt administrative
and legislative officials, the people
possess power that tends to secure
popular government by the very
fact that the power exists.
Officials are more prudent when
they are subject to summary recall:
and legislators are more thoughtful
when they may be, directly COM
manded: or overruled by their con-
stltuents. This is one of the most
wholesome effects of direct legisla-
ton. And the rascals are finding

OUR PENAL SYSTEM.

In our first page column, will be
found certain observations and sug-
gestions as to improvements in So
ciety's methods of dealing with first
offenders.
T., The subject is one that should
command the attention of all right
thinking men.
Until society learns to deal fair.
Sly with the criminal, the number
of criminals will increase. Society
has tried punishment for untold
centuries, and yet today the most
intellectual and. painstaking of the
students of, criminology are not in
the least, agreed that punishment
has in any sense proved efficacious
in the cure of crime. For no mat
ter how severe the punishment, it
cannot expel from the mind OF the
offender the desire to do that
which he believes he must, and
80 long as any desire remains in
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1909-05-22

the mind OF man. that. desire Will
eventually be satisfied. .=. I.
You may punish man SO severe
ly that he may not commit certain
deed, but you. cannot punish i'm
SO severely that he may not wish
to do 1t, and though you may take
his life you do not deprive him OF
that desire, and therefore you have
only unclaimed the criminal, with
the added determination on his part
to commit the deed. ~ T
England for centuries tried .te
severest ,punishments against. crime.
During thu reign of Henry VIII,
about 80 years, some $4,000 PEG.
pie were put to death through the
power of the state, and for all this
time there is not an item to prove
that crime decreased.
Two centuries ago England had
more than 200 crimes, which her
criminal code made punishable with
death, but not until the state be-
came less criminal, did crime de-
crease.
1t is not uncommon for some
folk, whose own condnct is not al
ways above suspicion, to say that
one who breaks the criminal law
puts himself out of all considera-
ton by his fellow mortals; but
when society hounds him who has
once offended, and hounds him for
that reason only, it is itself a worse
offender, for it puts a club into
it's enemys hand. Verify, in the
majority of cases, it is the criminal
who is more sinned against than
SHINING.
1t is the belief of many wise men
who have given the subject muca
study that the majority, if not IN
deed all, so-called criminally-d:s-
posed are more. the victims OF cir
cumstances, environment and
CROWN, over which they had no
control.
That we do not rise to the de-
gree we should is more through
ignorance or :'cm our under &C.
velopment. From this premise, it
would follow that society should
treat the criminal more as sick
man-more as one in need OF as
sistance-than as one upon whom
1t should pounce with distendyd
talons. to "end and tear.

STERILIZED FOODS.

A lesson on the dangers of the
insane worship of authority, of the
foolish dependence upon experts,
so characteristic of our time, may
be found in the discovery that ster-
ilized food is poison. Of course
this discovery is by an expert, and
as such it is open to the objections
that apply to the experts who pro-
pagate sterilization fads.
But in favor of the expert who
exposes the fad, as against those
who have propagated it, there is
the consideration that common sense
is against them and with him.
1t is not reasonable to believe
that devitalized food is good food,
no matter what the experts say.
Nor are these observations at all
condemnatory of expertism. They
are only condemnation of ex-
pertism out of place.
The business of the expert is with
detail, with information, with skill
fulness, and essentially with moth
ing else. When he reasons about
his information in it's relations to
the general affairs of life he is no
more competent than any other
man of common sense who has con-
sidered the facts. He may be less
SO; for devotion to particulars is
necessarily at the expense of the
mental power Of apprehending gen
erals. An excellent house architect
may be mighty poor Judge OF
| housekeeping, and a worse judge
| of the relation of the houses he
builds to the general affairs of the
community of which they are a
part. An able lawyer may be the
worst possible law maker. An ex-
cellent Investigator may be poor
advisor as to the utilization of what
| he discovers.
This Standardization fad, with
its collapse, affords a good illustra-
| ton. The time will probably come
when the vaccination fad will suffer
similar disaster. And so with that
other and kindred and more IRA
tional and horrible fad that has re-
