ON AUTOMOBILE RULES
Year Book and Automobile Laws To
Be Published Shortly

% FSINoHcO OuSikly
Secretary OF State Guy W Bailey
vas al his office IN the State House
recently and when seen by a repres-
entatiye Of the journal spoke at some
length on the automobile laws which
be is compiling and is 10 publish this
spring in conjunction with the Year
Book issued annually by the Yer
mont Automobile club. The first talk
of publishing these laws was made
at the regular meeting last December
when the secretary of state said in
the course Of his remarks that he in
tended TO gather the laws of the diff
ferent states of the Union and pub
lish synopsis of them in book form
for the information of automobile
owners of Vermont.
The suggestion was made to him
that the club should issue its Year
Book under the same cover, both
parties bearing their part of the eX-
pense. This was agreed upon and
the book viii be forthcoming in June
MI Bailey said that his intentions
are TO have the constitution of the
Vermont Automobile Club in full
with the bylaws, the roster of mem
bers and the names of every automo-
bile owner in the state with the horse
power and make Of his machine and
last a synopsis of all laws bearing on
the automobile in the United States
This last will be supplemented with
a list of municipal rules and regula-
lions or local laws with speed limit,
etc.
The form of the book has not yet
been determined upon as that comes
within the province of the Commits
sioner Of State Printing, Frank f.
Langley, with whom the secretary of
state will confer Another change
which the automobilists are begin
ming to notice as they call for their
licenses is that the form of applica-
ton is different as well as the meth
cd OF issuance. Mr.. Bailey has had
printed on linen paper three duplicate
license cards which when filled out
are cut apart. Then they are sent
to their different destinations, one to
the Office of the secretary OF state,
ore TO the owner of the automobile
and the third to the Automobile Club

NEW TRIAL IS DEMANDED

LAKEvIEw. w.--Attorney Farrell has
fied notice OF appeal to the supreme
court for new trial In the case OF
Ike Harrell. who pleaded guilty to
killing the Newell boys. The grounds
on which the case is appealed is that
the court was not in session when
Harreli was sentenced by Judge No
land.
This raises very nice point OF law.
The courts all over the country have
been In the habit OF adjourning the
regular terms to blank date, and when
the spring term OF court here was ad-
1ourned prior to the regular fall term.
The attorney for Harrell contends
that In view Of this there was no legal
court session when the murderer was
sentenced 10 the death penalty.

CONGRESS is LIKELY
TO Be CURTAILED
Representation of Some States
May Be Reduced by Re-
apportionment.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The new
census promises to precipitate a poll
tical and sectional controversy of
vital interest to the people. Based
upon the population it represents,
congress will have to determine
whether it shall be numerically en-
larged and made more unwieldy than
1t now is, or whether the aggregate OF
persons entitled to member of con-
gress shall be so curtailed.
Some states, if the latter plan is
adopted, will lose representation In
congress through a diminution of
population during the last ten years,
while others are certain of an in
crease due to growth in the number
of their inhabitants. The present ra-
ito of apportionment is one member
for every $4,000 inhabitants; the
present house consists of 391 mem
bers.
II congress were to adopt for the
present house the ratio of apportion-
ment observed in 1900, the house Of
representatives would be increased by
6S members. This would bring the
total membership up TO AGO. 1t is not
expected, however. that this ratio will
be maintained
1t is expected that when the ap-
portionment bill is considered the
number of the members of the house
will be fixed at one for every 225, 900.
This would mean that the house
would remain practically at its pres
ent figure.

TAFT To KEEP CLEAR
OF STATE POLITICS
Presidents Hands Full Enough
With Congress and
Pledges.

BEVERLY, Mass.-President Taft
has stated with striking emphasis the
position he is taking on Republican
state platforms and candidates. The
President does not think he should be
called upon to write the party decla-
rations in the different common
wealths or to name men for any of
the elective Offices. A President, 1t
was intimated, has a pretty big Job
on his hands when he undertakes to
fulfill all the pledges in the National
platform and to bring Congress around
TO the same way of thinking.
AS to planks in state platforms in
dorsing the administration, the Presi.
dent feels that unless they can be
written upon what he has said and
done since taking Office nothing he
could add in personal way would
help matters.
The Ohio conferences have served
to bring out the Presidents attitude.
He was informed of the general tenor
of the platform to be adopted at the
Columbus convention the latter part
of this month, but he did not 60 into
details OF planks.
Under no circumstances would the
President express an opinion as to
candidates The fight this fall in
Ohio, it is genenarry acknowledged,
will be a hard one.
