LEGATION has been given for some WEEKS
before the Legislature conyrnes. Mr..

Although Nj. Hunt MAS voted down lac
emrrgr,l from the fight With the RESPECT
of every member aud many comI'll-
meats we're Lrard as To his ability aud
judgment.
Another brisk aud spicy debate took
place Friday m"rnirg when Mt Buyce
of Waterbury moved that roll call he
had Tuesday mornings. Mr.. Boyce was
member two years ago aud kne"
something al the hatit OF members in
cutting recitatiuns aud playing truant.
Ills idea was to have the list Of absent
res made public unless a member had It
written excuse from the Speaker. Sev-
eral members spoke Tor and against the
proposition and offered all kinds of ex-
cuses why they should go home Thurs
day night or Friday morning aud not
come back until Tuesday noon. The
standard excuse, now as last session,
IS that it is necessary to go home
and consult with constituents, This is
very fattering to the constituents, but
very costly to the state. We notice
however that it is the man who gets his
) meals on the European plan that is
most anxious to get home, aud some OF
the members who are paying Sl4 aud
J upwards per week for board like to stay
here aud get it. One fine thing about
prices here is that you do not have tC
stay unless You want to, but yon dc
have to pay just the same. That is why
D it is so popular to have room "outsde'
0 az it called at 50 per week and get YOU
meals wherever you see fit aud pay only
+ for what you eat In this way the s.
i per day wage can be turned into 1
y money making proposition, especially !,
J the member can go home Thursda,
= night and come back Tuesday noon
: Since it is my duty to report thes
l. things to the Herald | am very gla'
that most of the Essex County member
T. were in their seats when the roll wa
D called last Friday. About forty mem
o bers drew seven days pay last week 70
three days service.
The income tax amendment to tn
P, United States Constitution has bee
3 presented to the Legislature for consid
e Grafton. 1t was presented by forma
y message from the Governor accompauie
u by statement from p. c. Knox, Sec
IN of State in President Taft's Cabinet.
is was also accompanied 10y an argumen
is against the measure by CAMEL Brao
he ford of Massachusetts. We hold u
ID brief for or against the income TIA
IN amendment, but we fail to see the pro
is prety of Mr.. Bradford forcing hi
10 opinions upon Vermont Legislature i
T. this manner. Vermont ought to /
10 able to settle its own affairs and n
It. doubt this legislature possesses me
tie whose Judgment on such matters is {
IN good as that of the Massachusetts state
Id man. 1t was an insult to the Legisl
ture of Vermont and many memhe
have said that it would have AN effe
contrary to that desired by Mr.. Bra'
ford. The matter was referred to Il
i" Committee on Federal Relations, l..
Bates of Derby Chairman, aud publ
hearing was given in the Senate Chan
rd Der Tuesday evening. Mr.. Bates hi
or designated the Rev. Mr.. Miller
n Bethel as the member OF the commit,
it. to back the committee recommendation
Mt on the floor of the Honse.
a The deer law is receiving much mo

lty in all probability the Committee {
,ed Game and Fisheries will not consider
of wise to change existing deer laws
ed near the date of opening the seast

1885, publicity to the changes. There seer
M to be no fear that one more season w
