Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1910-10-19
Falling Hair

with constituents This is very fat
tering to the constituents, but very
costly to the state. We notice, how
ever, that it is the man who gets his
meals on the European plan that is
most anxious to get home, and some of
the members who are paving S14 and
upwards per week for board like to
stay here and get it. One fine thing
about prices here is that YOU do not
have to stay unless you wish to, but
! you do have to pay just the same.
That is why it is SO popular to have q
room "outside" as it is called at two
dollars per week and get your meals
wherever you see fit and pay only for
what you eat. In this way the "a per
day cage can be turned into a money
making proposition, especially if the
member can go home Thursday night
and come back Tuesday noon. Since
it is my duty to report these to the
Monte | am very glad to say that
most Of the Orleans county members
we're in their seats When the roll was
called last Friday. About forty mem
bers drew their seven days pay last
week for three days service.
The income tax amendment to the
United States constitution has been
presented to the legislature for con
sideration. It was presented Dy for
nal message from the governor ac-
c0mpanied by q statement from T. L.
Knox, seer tary Of state III President
Taft's cabinet. It was also accom-.
panied by an argument against the
. measure by Gamaliei Bradford OF Mas
sachusetts. We hold no brief for or
against the income tax amendment,
but we fail to see the propriety Of
Mr. Bradf0rd's forcing his opinions
upon aFermOnt legislature IN this man
ner. Vermont ought to be able to set
tie its own affairs and no doubt this
legislature possesses men whose Judg
ment on such matters is as good as
that Of the Massachusetts statesman
, IT was an insult to the legislature OF
Vermont and many members have said
it would have an effect contrary to
that desired by MIR. Bradford. The
matter was referred to the committee
on Federal Relations, S. 3. Bates Of
6 Derby chairman, and public hearing
was given in the senate chamber Tues
day evening. Mr.. Bates has Gesig-
! mated the Rev Mr. Miller of Bethel
i, as the member of the committee to
I, back the committee recommendations
, on the floor of the house.
! The deer law is receiving much more
> than its just proportion OF attention
|, if the number of bills introduced can
be taken as a criterion. Two or three
are now in the hands of the committee
ana will probably remain there until
n after the season is over for this year.
= The elections of United States senators
. will take up the first part Of this week,
= and in all probability the committee
= on game and fisheries will not consider
! it wise to change existing laws SO
u near the date of opening the season
= when it will be impossible to give
:, wide publicity to the changes. There
. seems to be no fear that one more
= season will kill all of the does and any
changes made will probably not apply
until the season of 1911. There Is
much sentiment against the doe law
and it may be that change will bt
1t made.
