THE cusAMAN BILL

The Banner today publishes two
adverse opinions upon the proposed
trustee measure before the state leg
islature and generally known as the
Cushman bill. One of the opinions
is written by John w. Gordon of Bar
re, one of the most brilliant lawyers
of the state and at present represent
ing Washington county in the state
senate. Mr.. Gordon has resided all
his life in community that has come
to be the greatest manufacturing CEN
ter in Vermont and his opportunities
to study at close range the many
complex problems of the working
mans way through life have been
unusually extensive. He is also a
student of economic conditions, as all
who heard his address here a few
months ago advocating the enaction
of an employers liability law can tes-
tify. Mr.. Gordon is opposed to the
enactment of the Cushman bill and
his reasons are we'll set forth in his
article.
The other opinion quoted is from
the Burlington Evening News and II
as thoroughly endorses the bill as a
measure that ought to become law
The writer is one Of the oldest edi
tors in the state who has been con
nected with leading Vermont news
papers in an editorial capacity ever
since he was young man. He has
been a contributor to magazines an(
his view of any broad problem is wor
thy OF recognition.
These two opinions of measure
that had its origin in Bennington ant
bearing as 1t does the name Of a Ben
nington county senator should be o
interest to the people of the commu
nifty.

The trustee Process Law

We do not recall any session of the
legislature in which a trustee process
bill was not introduced. The plat
forms of the party also have frequent
ly held planks on that subject. In
this session two bills have been in
troduced, one by Senator Cushman
in the Senate which exempts contin-
uously ninety per cent of W q
earner's wages The other Dll,
known as the Webster bill, was intro
duced in the House. 1t provides
fat exemption of $40 to the wage
Garner. These two bills clash and
the question is which shall be best
for the wage Garner and the creditor.
The Cushman bill in our opinion
is the most scientific. In this bill
ninety per cent of the wage earners'
/ income is he'd exempt from trustee
process. All creditors may partici-
pate pro rata in the ten per cent con-
tinuously until their accounts have
been paid, This bill establishes an
important principle, a principle that
the state has followed in the case of
other citizens during practically all
its existence. The farmer is exemp.
ted from attachment on animals
tools, crops, food, etc, to the amount
of five hundred dollars. Physicians
lawyers and clergymen are exempted
on their books, etc, and mechanics
on their tools. The plain wage earn
er without capital gets no exemption
whatever. He may be deprived Of
practically everything and for many
years his wages could be seized.
The Cushman bill therefore estab
fishes righteous exemption for the
wage Garner. To exempt ninety pei
cent of his wages will give him at al
times when he is at work a fund e
keep his family from want. Some
objections to it have been raised bu
they are not important. 1t has beer
said that 1t would multiply suits. Al
we look at II the Cushman law would
decrease law suits with their costs
When a suit or suits shall be entered
they continue until the debt is secur
ed. On the other hand the ten dolla
exemption law leaves an opening 70
multiplicity of suits one after tn,
other until the creditor secures hi
debt, with costs and lawyers fees il
each case.
The principle Of exempting nine
tenths Of the workers wages bring
the trustee process exemption up I
the level of all other classes. 1t
dignifed, scientific, Just; and it vii
establish an important principle 4
the statutes of this state. We hop
it shall pass.-Burlington News.

Pensions for Teachers

Probably In the first thought of
many persons that read in the news
paper reports Of the proceedings of
the legislature at Montpelier that
bill had been introduced providing for
a pension for public school teachers
Of a certain age OF service the idea
was dismissed forthwith as the idle
proposition OF some mere theorist.

AS a guarantee that the story of
Father Johns Medicine is absolutely
true the sum of $4,000 will be given
to any charitable institution if it can

Half a century ago, when the Rev.

recommended to his parishioners and
friends the prescription that had res
stored him to health and strength, the
people named it Father Johns Med

It's power to cure colds and throat

that it gives vital strength to fight

1t is encouraging in these days of
hair-trigger verdicts and long dis

disposition on the part of leading

justice. The Boston Transcript does
this in the following editorial para
graph Regarding the crusade against
the denuding of our hills and fields
for the purpose of atfording the peo-
pie of the big cities Christmas trees:
IF the Vermont Legislature adapts
the proposition to place tax of
twenty-five cents apiece on trees that
are sent out Of the State during the
coming month 1t will be for the pur-
pose of conserving, not Christmas
