MRS. LILLEY AGAINST LAKE.

Waterbury Republican.
 Everett J. Lake, in an interview last night, stated with some em- phasis, that he did not intend to make any campaign in Waterbury, except such as his friends in this city make for him. He said:
 j'No, I shall not make any cam paign for delegates to the state con- vention in Waterbury except in this way, that I have a large number of friends in the city who will probably be working for me. I understand that Mrs. George L. Lilley is taking an interest in the selection of dele gates in Waterbury, in favor of MT. Goodwin, and I have not learned how to fight woman in politics. There are, however, a lot of fellows Tn Waterbury, who like myself, don't like inherited politics.

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1910-12-23

The section of the state normal school
bill which makes any city, town or in
corporated village which donates to the
school the sum of $4,000 in money or
land eligible to considered as a pos
sible location, is being severely criti-
cised. The Rutland Herald thinks the ad-
vantage of accessibility might outweigh
a $4,000 bonus, and the st. Adams Mes
senger objects to the scheme on gen.
eral principles The latter paper says:
The state should own its property alone,
without partners, or without even the
suspicion of intervening equitable inter-
ests, just as the United States govern
ment does. In the second place when
the state bargains with a town for
bonus, the state is put right back again
upon the same ENHANCEMENT with local
interests, the same moral obligation to
maintain those local interests, that is
urged so strongly by the friends of the
present normal schools against their abo-
litIon. The state of Vermont should al
ways be free to pack its valise and leave
any town without owing anybody in it or
being beholden to anyone in any way"

OUGHT TO CHANGE RULES.
Plans Suggested for Expedltine the Work
In Future Legislatures.

1t is suggested that this legislature
would perform an important service for
the state If, before adjournment, 1t es-
tablished commission to revise the
rules of the House and Senate This has
not been done for some time and while
any action taken would not be binding
on future legislatures, it is the usual
custom to adopt the rules of the previous
session with but few changes. \ commits
sion, composed of such members as Clerk
Plumley and Secretary Skeels and others,
who have long experience in legislative
work, could undoubtedly frame a set of
rules which would do much to expedite
the work OF the legislature.
one change that would help to do this
is the abolshment of the committee on
the revision of bills. This committee was
originated with the idea that ii would
hasten the work of the legislature, but
il is pointed out that it does not, as the
proper place for the revision of the bills
is not before they have been introduced,
but after they have been acted upon by
both houses and before they are sent to
the governor. If this were done. all the
amendments would be contained in the
bills and could be expressed in proper
and grammatical language, and errors that
are not possible to be detected under
the present method corrected. This is
the way bills are revised in the legisla-
lures of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Now the revision committee spends much
time and energy redrafting a great many
of the bills that come to it and putting
them in presentable shape. These bills in
the main are of minor Importance and If
allowed to so before the House or Senate
in their original crudity would be prompt
ly killed and put out of way. AS 1t is,
they are so doctored up by the revision
committee that in many cases they re-
ceive more consideration than they are
entitled to. There are other changes that
could be made, so that it would be easy
for the legislature under ordinary condi-
tons to finish its work by Christmas.
Bills still keep coming in from COM
mittees and from members by unanimous
consent, and yesterday the revision COM
mittee had Is measures in its hands for
consideration.-tBaTe Times, Dec 16.

The census report on agricultural con-
ditiOns in Vermont is a message of en-
couragement 1t shows a total value of
farm land and buildings to the amount
of S1Ol,Sl3,OOO, an increase in the decade of
Sls,i4l,O0O, or % per cent. The average
value per acre of farm land and build
ings is $50, an increase of 81, or % per
cent Farm lands alone have increased
per cent in value and farm buildings As
per cent. There is the surprising gain
of 81 per cent in the wages paid farm
employees. a decrease of per cent is
noted in the total farm acreage and in
the total number Of farms, and of 90 per
cent in the total improved farm acreage.
From these figures we draw the con-
cluson that certain sections of land
which We're never intended by nature for
cultivation are being allowed to revert
to woodland and that the farmers gen.
orally are practcing more intensive
farming than in former days.

There is no foundation in the fact to
the Grand Trunks cry about taking ter
minal facilities in the Brattleboro rail-
road yard, as the plans of the Boston &
Main contemplate doubling the present
yard room, by making available the
space from the lower end of the pres
ent passenger station to Bridge street,
now occupied by the station or used for
teams and other conveyances. John Pei
lett suggested at the hearing in Mont
pelier a plan which would greatly i'm
prove the railroad facilities. Mr.. Pei
lett showed how the present curves in
the Central Vermont tracks south of the
station could be abolished by moving the
tracks to the west, after cutting out the
embankment from the Morningside Gem
etery property. This embankment is
about 45 feet high, but with the tracks
raised II feet, as proposed, it would not
be a difficult engineering problem to cut
away the slope west of Vernon street and
to fill the low land on what is now known
as the Judge property. With this change
made there would be a straight approach
to the railroad station for a distance
of three miles, and ample room for sew
eral main tracks.
