The Socialists figured prominently
in the recent municipal election Of
Bennington. 1t would be interesting
to know whether the voters Of that
ticket were such from conviction or
merely fought under that name to
unhorse the regulars.-Randolph Her
aid and News.
Socialism didn't have much to do
with the election OF the one candidate
Of that party who was victorious at
the polls but the Socialists have
something over one hundred votes
that they can count on whenever the
issue is drawn.

Negative Goodness Doesn't Work

The Bennington Banner very aptly
says that every town of any size has
within it the elements of progress
and of decay while the history of the
particular town for a term of years
shows which is stronger. 1t is well
to be reminded, from time to time of
the duties and obligations we incur
by reason of our common residence
and civic interests. Strictly speaking
the man who conscientiously pays his
personal and business debts as well
as his just and equitable taxes is
in a sense, a blameless citizen. The
trouble is that he is too negatively
faultless; better for him and the com
munity that he should seek to initiate
if he does not want to follow the in
itiative of some other public spirited
citizen, some sort of movement, how
ever small, for the common benefit

Oil on Streets

The highway department of Provi-
dence, X. l., has found that the use
of oil on macadam is effective not
only in laying the dust, but also in
preserving the street surface from
the usual wear and tear and is plan
ming to spend $780, 900 this year in the
oiing of 40 miles of streets. Many
of the objections to the use of oil on
the streets have been overcome by
improved methods of mixing the solu-
ton and greater care in applying it.
In some cities it has been found that
the life of a macadam highway has
been greatly prolonged by the use
Of the oil mixture, representing a
large saving to the taxpayers.-Brat-
tleboro Phoenix.

REFUSES VOTE TO WOMEN
Bay State House Rejects Suffrage Bill
by 161 to SO

Boston, April 5.-The Massachusetts
House of Representative rejected
the hill granting suffrage to women
late today by voting 161 to 50 not to
substitute such a bill for the adverse
report of the committee on constitu-
tional amendments.
The measure was ably supported
before the legislature this year, one
of the hearings being attended by
hundreds Of suffrage advocates, in
GLIDING Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, the
English leader. Last years vote
against the bill was IS to AZ.

The Maine Legislature, under demo-
cratic control for the first time in so
years, failed to accomplish much in
the way of constructive legislation,
except resubmission OF constitutional
prohibition of the sale of liquor. Still
that is neutrality-suspicious. Phoe-
nix.
Maine also adopted corrupt prac-
tees act, primary election law, rati-
fed the federal income tax amendment
and passed resolution in favor Of
the direct election of United States
senators. What is more interesting

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Pub'r
that MILEAGE QUESTION


Why is It necessary for a special
commission to deliberate two years
on the question whether the states
allowance Of ten cents a mile for rail
road travel that costs a legislator two
cents, is good business and good gov.
ernment? What would any reader
say about the same proposition in his
own private affairs?-S Adams Mes
senger.
The Messenger misses the point al
together as it is argued around the
statehouse corridors by the members
themselves. The Messenger would
hardly accuse all these men of being
grafters-for instance such men as A.
NJ Fletcher, George NJ. Wall of Dor
set Fred l.. Webster of Swanton, and
scores of others whose word can be
relied on. They do not argue that
it costs ten cents a mile to go to or
from Montpelier but that the state
should pay the necessary expenses of
the members going back and forth be-
tween their homes and the state CAPT
tall not once or twice but as many
times as they must 90 during
the session of the legislature.
1t may sound well to argue
that the state only requires
the members to go to Montpelier at
the opening Of the session and to 90
home at the end and so should pay
only for one trip each way but prac-
tically this theory is all humbug.
No man should ever be sent to
Montpelier by any town unless he
has business at home important
enough to require attention If a
man hasn't industry, stability and am
bition enough to have some active
work or business pursuit at home, he
viii be Of mighty trivial importance
to his town or TO Vermont if sent to
the statehouse. AS matter of fact
most of the men who are sent to the
legislature are good citizens who
have important interests at home.
Their value to the state would be
greatly lessened should they be too
much worried about their home ar
fairs and it Is O good thing for the
state as we'll as for themselves that
they 90 home over Sunday as often
as may be without neglecung their
legislative duties.
We hope the Lord will forever de.
liver the good state of Vermont from
a legislature that does not go home
over Sunday in the main. Such leg
islature would be made up of a lot of
inconsequential men of no importance
at home and less at the capital and
beyond that it would give the people
at home no chance to talk over state
matters with their representatives.
We are not arguing in favor of go
ing home from Thursday night to
Tuesday morning as is the custom in
our neighboring states of New York
and New Hampshire. In New York
there has not been a quorum present
on Friday or a Monday since their
session opened the first of January
and in New Hampshire only once and
then only in the House and not in
the Senate. Vermont ideas revolt at
any such neglect of duty as in those
states but we do believe that adjourn
ments from Saturday morning to
Monday afternoon or evening are bet
ter for the state and better for the
members.
This brings us back to the original
question which is whether the state
from the capital. 1t is a question
much talked over around the CORR
