never could have been nominated il
their county conventions could have
known the attitude they were to take
That is true regarding one of our
Washington county senators whose
vote would have passed the House
trustee process bill In the Senate
When man is elected in a repres-
entative capacity. knowing the atti-
tude of the body that nominated him
and deliberately betrays his constitu-
ents, then some very plain old
fashioned terms will fit his case. 1t
must be demonstrated and that soon,
that Vermont Republicans can elect
men who will carry out the party
pledges AS the Journal has suggest
ed before, 1t may be necessary at the
next state convention to censure the
faithlessness of those senators who,
deliberately and wantonly, have put
the Republican party into a difficult
and dishonorable position With all
respect for some very able and hon
orable Senators IL is not too soon to
begin to make plans for a Senate in
1912 that shall be better and broad
er, and more responsive to public
opinion than was the Senate of 1910.
One of the evident needs of the
House is the reelection of more OF
the useful members of that body. It
ought not to be necessary to waste
several weeks OF every session in
order to send the members to school.
AS long as present methods continue
members must learn in the costly
school of experience how to make
laws. This process takes time and
time costs the state money At the
lowest estimate there are probably
| fifty members Of the present House
who are above the average of efficien-
cy. and il they were reelected they
would form a good working nucleus
that could take up business at the
opening OF the session and carry il
along. Why should Vermont differ
from other states in the matter of
returning experienced legislators?
The pass it around theory has been
practiced long enough This does
not mean, OF course, that every men,
Der should be returned, but those who
have shown more than ordinary cap
acity ought to be given a reelection
II ought to be possible to lessen
the scandal Of frequent adjournments.
Members ought to be willing to work
more days each week, or should re-
leive the state from the burden OF
paying them for what they do not
earn. When the House will adjourn
over Saturday and Monday at the
very close OF the session. II shows a
lack OF that sense of responsibility
that public servant should feel.
The mileage graft ought not to be con
tinued. 1t is wrong in principle and
sets a bad example. There should be
a lump sum salary. making allowance
for adequate pay for a reasonable
time, with extra pay for special SEES
sions. The employees OF the legis-
lature should be put upon fair per
diem but II ought not to be possible
for a sweeper or a page to draw four
dollars day and sixty cents mileage.
Only through agitation and public
ity do reforms come, and the failure
of certain desirable measures by no
means presages their final defeat

Campaign Expenses

The question why the bill provid-
ing for the publication OF campaign
expenses was killed by the legisla-
ture has not been answered and pro-
badly will not at the present time,
but the query is one in which the
people OF the state have taken de-
cided interest. The Enosburg Stan.
dard says:
The failure OF the legislature TO
pass the bill providing for the public
ity OF campaign expenses Is to be
regretted. Such laws are in opera
ton in many states in the Union and
while they are not a cure all they are
one step forward in the movement,
looking TO fuller realization OF pop
ular rule"
The following comment Is made by
the Randolph Herald and News:
The Vermont senate continues to
be the graveyard OF platform pledges.
ne last little mound is over the
Battell bill requiring candidates TO
publish their campaign expenditures.
The House passed II. but the Senate
buried II without a hearing. And of
ters nothing In its place to carry out
one OF the chief promises OF last sum
mer."

EIks in Danger

Vermont has had varied as well as
interesting experiences in opening
and closing the seasons for hunting
deer and some of our people may
have regarded some of the penalties,
established as extreme, but they may
change their minds If they consider
what some other states have done.
For example, the Legislature of
Washington, desiring to effectually
stop the slaughter of the few elks re-
naming in that state proposes to
make the killing OF an elk a felony
but in drafting the bill Joker slip
ped in and II the proposed act be-
comes a law there is every chance of

Protective Order of Elks breaking

it would have had little opportunity
to conflict with the savings bank ex-
emption, If conflict there was. The
reason ascribed served to puzzle and
befog the members who didn't un-
derstand IL. II Governor Mead had
squarely vetoed the intangibles bill
on general grounds of public econ
omy. and especially because of the
very great doubt that must have ex-
listed that 1t would yield anything
like the revenues the bill proposed
to give up In abolishing the direct
state school and highway taxes, 1t
would have left the subject in better
shape for future disposition. As 1t
is the act stands endorsed by the leg
islature vetoed on technically by the
governor, passed over his veto in one
house, but without avail for lack of
constitutional quorum for the pur-
pose. The measure will surely come
up in two years and with strong pres
tige to support it-Randolph Herald

The finding OF the interstate com
merce commission against the rail-
roads which wished to raise their
freight rates is only n preliminary
victory. The railroads having failed
in a direct attack will now seek to do
by indirection what they have been
forbidden to do. Their highly paid
attorneys will get together and work
out various schemes to get more mon
ey out OF the public under some
form or pretext. II the interstate
commerce condition is backed up by
the courts and by Congress II may
