There must be niger in the wood
pile in that bill introduced in the YER
mont House to firbid town treasurers to
serve more than two years in succession.
That would be putting a premium on
shiftless methods, for it takes a man
two years to learn proper system Of
keeping accounts, and just when he has
gained the information it is proposed
to turn him out and put in another
novice. If experience counts for any
thing, it counts in this position of town
treasurer. The best way for town to
do if it wants to get rid Of town
treasurer is to vote him out at the next
town meeting.

Current Comment
The Census in St. Adams.


When commentators on the Vermont
census returns assign st. Adams city
seventh place, following Burlington, Rut
land, Barre Montpelier, st. Johnsbury
and Brattleboro, they should remember
that there is a St Adams town, the pop
ulation OF which is enumerated separate
~ from the population Of the city, but
which with the city makes only one
community to all intents and purposes.
People dwelling in the city or in the
town are st. Adams people, trade at the
same stores, and go to the same churches
and places OF entertainment, for the
most part, and only realize the fact
that an arbitrary political line has sep
aratcd them into two political divisions
when election day comes round St..
Adams City, by the census of 1910 has
population Of 1881, and St. Adams
Town has 1877, or a total OF Z ,99s peo-
pie resident in the community known
as st. Adams If this true rating were
given st. Adams. il would take fourth
place in the list following next after
Barre and before Montpelier
OF course, much of the ambition OF
cities to excel one another in population
is illogical and vainglorious, because the
mere number of people living in it is
not the true mark of the character and
rank Of a community. But sometimes
the gain or loss in population shows the
prosperity Of a community or want of It,
and st. Adams is prospecting too we'll
to have the census figures, however tech
nically accurate, misrepresent her true
position among Vermont cities and
towns.-St. Adams Messenger.

VERN0NT'S FINANCES
REPORTED IN HOUSE
Mr. Fletcher of the Ways and Means
Committee Made Report and the
Figures Are Ordered Printed
in House Journal.
in House Journal.

Notice was served on the legislature
yesterday that it must 60 slow in the
matter of appropriations. 1t came in
the shape of statement of the fin
ancial condition of the state by Mr..
Fletcher Of Cavendish, chairman of the
ways and means committee in the
House. The members were somewhat
astounded to learn that all the money
the state mas available for appropria-
tions is $4,000, and that this sum is
all the money the state will have until
July l, 1911 This put very diff
ferent aspect on the report Of the state
treasurer, which showed q balance OF
some S205,000 on hand July /. 1t was
pointed out That while this statement
was perfectly correct that money, all
except the $4,000 was taken up by
Appropriations already
However, the legislators were relieved
bit when Mr.. Fletcher told them
that they really had about 100000
which they could appropriate although
the money would not be available I'M
til July l, 1917 and July ], 1912, a
hundred thousand on each date, The
last legislature made special appropria
tions amounting to over 100000. OF
course it was explained to the House
that the legislature could 90 ahead and
make any appropriations it saw fit and
il would be up to the ways and means
committee to devise some way Of rails
ing the money but it was plainly in
dtcated that the present sources of
revenue were being drawn on for about
ali they could stand and that if the leg
islators went too far in spending money
il might mean a state tax.
Governor Mead is heartily in SYM
pathy with the ideas of Mr. Fletcher
and others of the leading business men
in both the House and Senate. In fact,
the governor is at the bottom Of this
warning TO the legislature, for he Is de-
termined not to allow the state TO ex-
pend money it has not got The gov
ernor says he is for spending all the
money tae state needs, for roads, for
schools, for anything that is needed,
he is even willing the state should be
extravagant in some things, but be-
fore lie consents TO passing out the
money, be has got to be shown where it
IS coming from. The governor IS amused
at the picture some have Of him sitting
tight on top Of q 100000 wad and
preaching economy when in reality the
state had but paltry $4,000 Of good
hard cash in sight

That the public was well satisfied

INSURGENTS PROPOSE
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Make First Move by Starting
Literary Bureau.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The little
band of senators and representatives
who like to be called progressive Re-
publicans, but who are designated as
insurgents by those party leaders who
do not like them, are considering a
plan for establishing national head
quarters from which they will con-
duct campaign in the interest of re-
elections to congress and to advance
within the Republican party the ideas
for which they stand.
The plan has not yet been formu-
lated. It has simply been discussed.
It is likely that it's beginning will be
signalized by an address to the Re-
publicans of the country, appealing
for popular support and outlining the
plan of campaign.
The announcement of the establish
ment of literary bureau to supply
newspapers in the Middle West with
"a progressive" news letter is one
phase of the news propaganda.
The men who are considering
launching the new movement and who
were willing to discuss it said that
they had ample justification for what
they proposed doing in the fact that
the Republican congressional commit
tee had announced it's intention of cut
ting off supplies and Withholding sup
port from senators and congressman.

Commissioner bennett personally, but
his arraignment of the land service

and that the bureau was run on a
high scale of extravaganza.

frauds in that branch of the service.

Morris Hedberg, fireman, twenty
