Legislative Notes

The Senate general committee yes
terday Tuesday afternoon gave a
hearing on the bill to make Columbus
day legal holiday, a custom that is
now existing in fifteen states, includ-
ing, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island and New York states
bordering Vermont. There is no
special objection to the bill in either
branch of the legislature outside Of
an unimportant one about increasing
the number of holidays, but such
demand has been made for the holt
day that the senate is disposed to
look on it with kindly eyes and give
it a trial. Various sections of the
state were represented at the hear
ing and the committee was promised
that if the holiday was placed on the
statute books that it would have a
fitting observance. The educational
features of the bill were also urged,
as dealing with the most important
epoch in the history of the Americans
since the day was the beginning Of
history for the white race on these
continents. Mason S. Stone and
Supt Brownscombe discussed the ed
vocational advantages, H. c. Shurtleff
the commercial aspect, Thomas Mag
ner the demand for the day on the
west side of the state. Others who
spoke were Representative Cory,
Herbert Broan of Montpelier, James
f. Burke, of West Rutland, John d.
Spellman of Rutland. Judge Henry
Conlin OF Winooski, Tx Mayor j S.
Haley, Mr. Ntzhugh, of Weybridge
and others Mr.. Gordon inquired
why it would not he better TO make
the day a National holiday Judge
Conlin took the position that al
though any day may be made a ma
tional holiday by the Federal govern
ment such would apply only to the
district Of Columbia. Mayor Haley
always considered that Senator Cor
don led the procession instead Of be-
ing one of the passengers. He
thought that Vermont ought to step
in front instead of behind.

resent great corporate interests ex-
press satisfaction that the Senate
yesterday defeated the time lock
amendment. For some time rumors
have been afloat to the effect that
certain corporations were opposed to
this proposal of amendment. Why
do the corporations assume this atti-
tude? Are they, too, solicitous for
the safety of the Constitution and
distrustful of the ability of the peo-
pie to act with discretion?
1t would seem that action on such
an important matter as these amend
ments should be taken when all of
the Senators were present. Several
were absent yesterday and il would
be no more than fair and courteous
to move a reconsideration of the
vote defeating the proposal referred
to in order to give the members alb
sent on Wednesday an opportunity
to record their votes.
The people of Vermont will watch
the matter with no small degree OF
interest Perhaps they will not be
Altogether flattered by the estimate
in which they seem to be held by the

Touching the professed anxiety OF
certain of our legislators to help the
poor men by enacting a law exempt
ing ten dollars from trustee process,
one of our leading merchants sug-
gests that the expense made the
State by the prolonged discussion and
side stepping over this and some
other matters would more than pay
the total amount involved in all ten
dollar trustee lawsuits brought in
this State within the last two, or that
will be brought in the next two
years, no matter what the law is. OF
course an appropriation made by the
legislature to pay such bills would be
unconstitutional but as a plain busi-
ness proposition the State would save
money il this could be done. Very
few poor men are troubled by such
trivial suits now, but all men must
help to bear the expense Of needless
discussion in the legislature, and no
matter how the money is raised to
pay those legislators who indulge in
this pastime, it is largely taken from
the men of small means ultimately.
We do not presume to advise the leg
islature, but the leaders of the Re-
publican party in this State and In
the legislature ought to know that
the elections have recently demon
strated strong and perhaps uncon-
trollable spirit of unrest abroad.
This is spreading even into Vermont,
and unless this playing to the politi-
cal grand stand is brought to a
speedy close something unpleasant,
but none the less salutary. is likely
to happen to the now ruling party
Springfield Reporter.
There is involved in this trustee
process matter something more than
the amount of money in any number
of ten-dollar lawsuits. The economic
principle on which the proposed leg
islatlon is based concerns almost
every citizen of the state, for outside
of the professional men and few
small farmers we are all either en-
ployers or employees. 1t is a rather
pessimlstic view to estimate piece
of legislation by the time and ex-
pense required in enacting il.

1t is a matter for regret that the
Senators yesterday voted against re-
moving the time lock from the State
Constitution. The platforms of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties, representing all but an Insight
ficant fraction Of our population, de-
clared in the strongest terms in IA
yor Of this and all the other amend
ments suggested by the committee
appointed under the authority OF an
act passed in 1908. Both Governor
Prouty and Governor Mead have fay-
ored the proposals. SO far as the
Journal now remembers, no Vermont
newspaper has opposed the removal
of the time lock
II would seem, therefore, that the
Senators who voted in the negative
were assuming heavy weight OF
responsibility, not only in ignoring
party pledges, but in denying to the
House OF Representatives and to the
people the privilege OF expressing
their wishes in the matter.
Are these ten Senators prepared to
say they are wiser than the party
which nominated them, wiser than
the voters who elected them, wiser
than the Governors chosen to NIL
the exective Office? Are they afraid
TO trst the people of Vermont with
their own Constitution? The demand
for the removal OF the time lock ex-
pressed in party platforms, In the
expressions OF party leaders. and In
the press. shows that there is a
widespread desire for the change. II
these ten Senators personally are
opposed to the change they Will
have an opportunity later to vote
against the amendment. Why do
they deny this privilege to their fell
low citizens? II is true that they
were elected In a representative ca
pacity, but the party which nominal
ed and elected these Senators declar-
ed for this provision. Therefore,
these men must be acting according
TO their personal preference. II they
insist upon so doing they can keep
this proposal of amendment out Of
the hands Of the people but this is
taking an unfair advantage OF the
situation. The people Of Vermont
are not so reckless and so radical
that their Constitution needs to be
locked up In safety deposit vault
for nine years out of ten In order to
prevent them from doing violence to
the charter OF their own liberties
These ten Senators constitute them
selves guardians, who say in effect
to the rest OF the people of Vermont:
1T Is not safe to trust you oftener
than once every ten years to lay your
hands on the Constitution. No
matter how great may be the needs
or how great may be your desires,
we know better than you do what is
for your own good"
What incendlary actions do these
Senators suppose would follow II
proposals OF amendment were al
lowed to pass the gauntlet Of two
successive Legislatures and refer
endum voter Are our troubles today
due TO excessive radicalism or ex.
ccssivo conservation
