FRANK E. HOWE. Editor and pub'r

Congressman ID. j. Foster whacked
the nail on the big end yesterday at
Rutland where in the course of his
remarks at the opening exercises of
the Vermont summer school he said
that teachers in this state do not re-
ceive enough money for their work.
The congressman also expressed the
hope that future Legislation would be
such that teachers of this state would
in the future be paid more nearly in
proportion to their services. Some
thing, of course, can be accomplished
through the enactment of new statu-
ties bearing upon the subject, as Mr..
Foster suggests, but what would go
further and be of more permanent
benefit would be broader compre-
hension of the worth Of the men and
women who are training the citizens
of the future. Vermonters as a peo-
pie, it must be admitted, fall short
in their appreciation of the efforts OF
their teachers, especially when edu-
cational affairs in this state are
brought in comparison with the ad-
vances made by some Of the newer
communities of the west.

paying wages enough to enable the
employed and their families to live

that point are the first charge on bust

PRESIDENT IMPORTUNED
ABOUT COMMITTEE FIGHT
Assures Both Regulars and Lnsur-
gents of His Determination
Not to Interfere.

Insurgents and regulars in the House
are carrying their woes to President Taft
with great regularity. They have lately
been bothering him about the fight that
is coming for the enlargement of the COM
mittee on rules from three to nine men.
Representative Hayes of California
talked over the situation with the Presi-
dent yesterday, and Friday Representa-
tives Dwight. Dalzell and Boutell took
the subject up with the chief executive.
the former as an insurgent and the latter
representing the regulars.
The President has told both sides that
he certainly does not propose to take any
part in any such a contest, but he has
just as frankly expressed his opinion that
he sympathiZes with the widespread con-
tention for a larger committee on rules.
He has held that view for a long time
and sees no reason to change his mind.
But he will in manner interfere i'll
the contest that is coming on.
Insurgent leaders like Mr. Hayes are
In no hurry to have the subject brought
before a republican caucus.
They are confident that time will settle
the matter to their satisfaction. They de-
clare that the country is aroused over the
methods of the committee on rules as now
constituted. and they are sure that public
opinion will force majority of the re-
p,lbicans to join in the crusade for an
elective committee of larger proportions
than at present. They think that the
more time that Is given for deliberation in
the House the heavier will be the ma
tority for larger committee, chosen by
the House. The insurgents are not caring
whether the caucus Is an early one or not
The story was on the rounds yesterday
thar the regulars are considering the
question of springing the proposition for
larger committee themselves and take
the insurgents by surprise.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
President Taft Adjusts Senate's Diff
fculty Regarding Two Bills.

Under the guiding hand of the President
an adjustment between the friends of the
postal savings bank bill and the Alaskan
legislative council bill has been arranged
SO that it is now believed it will not be
necessary to displace the Alaskan bill as
the unfinished business of the Senate to
permit the immediate consideration of the
postal savings measure.
Senator Beveridge. who, as chairman
of the committee on territories, has
charge of the Alaskan bill will be absent
from the city for a week or two, and
during that time some republican member
of the committee on territories, daily. will
ask to have the Alaskan bill temporarily
laid aside to permit the consideration of
the savings bill.
1t is generally recognized by the friends
of the administration that the postal bill
is the more generally important of the
two measures, and it may be safely in
ferred that the arrangement Will continue
as long as may be necessary to advance
the chances for the passage of the postal
bill, or until it becomes evident that 1t
