The Auto In LEGISLATION.

Our recently adjourned legislature
did not make any radical changes in the
law relating to autos. New Jersey
wants a new automobile law and
one has been prepared which will
probably be brought before the present
legislature. Two of its principal
features are as follows: A speed of 25
miles an hour shall not be exceeded;
provided, however, that nothing in this
section contained shall permit any per-
son to drive a motor vehicle at any
speed greater than is reasonable having
regard to the traffic and use of highways,
or so as to endanger the life or limb or
to injure the property of any person.
1t is provided that every person who
drives a motor vehicle shall, at the re-
quest or upon signal by putting up the
hand or otherwise from person riding
or driving horse or horses in the OPP
posite direction, cause the motor We
hicle to stop and remain stationery SC
long as may be necessary to allow the
horse or the horses to pass. Burling-

In his biennial report to the General
Assembly, dated June 80, 1910, Edward
H. Deavitt, State Treasurer, makes
the following sensible remarks:
''While the revenues of the State are
increasing, it is not safe for the
General Ass emily to appropriate con-
siderable sums upon new objects or
substantially increase standing appro-
priations heretofore made without pro-
viding for additional sources of income.
Large appropriations for schools and
highways have been made in the last
few years and this progressive legisla-
ton is being felt in every section of the
State; yet in this connection the query
arises whether a halt should be made
temporarily until the full effect of the
laws already passed has been eX-
perienced before additional appropr-
atoms are made for these purposes. A
succeeding Legislature, acting upon the
experience of the coming two years
under laws already enacted, may be
dOlC W JOSSS OCbbCl Wldl, IL any llliIlS,
is necessary, than the General Assembly
at this time, without that experience,
for what that experience may be no one
can surely forecast at this time. How
ever, if further appropriations along
these lines are to be made at this time,
any considerable appropriations must
be provided for by additional sources
of revenue
Notwithstanding these remarks by
Mr.. Deavitt the Legislature doubled
the appropriation for automobile trunk
lines, increasing it from $75, 900 to
$3.50, 900, and that too, although auto
mobile road building is entirely in the
experimental stage, as no one can yet
tell what kind of road will stand the
wear of these machines.

Under the title Champ Clark, Speak

Under the title Champ Clark, Speak
er, The Commoner says:
'Itis now practically settled that Hon.
Champ Clark of Missouri will be the
speaker of the next congress, and it is
happy selection. He has been an
admirable leader of the minority and
will doubtless prove successful leader
of the majority.
"He starts out well by announcing
himself in favor of the selection of the
committees by the house itself, rather
than by the speaker. This one act
the surrender of the autocratic power
that has heretofore attached to the
speakership- distinguish his term
as speaker, and it will enable him to
win more universal applause from the
members than would have been possible
had he been burdened with the respon-
sibility of selecting the committees.
He will go down to history as a great
reformer for what more important re-
form than the return of the house to a
recognition of the principles of repre-
sentative government?
1.-THE plan seems to be to select COM
mittee, the democrats choosing their
members in caucus and the republicans
theirs. This committee will make up
the committees-th democratic list to
be subject to ratification by the demo-
cratic caucus, and the republican list to
be approved by the republican caucus.
This makes the committeeman servants
of the house instead of slaves of the
speaker, and insures to each party a
satisfactory representation on the COM
mittees."
This is reform that might be adopt,
ed with equal advantage by Vermont.
That it would be in the direction of
economy there is no question. And
generally the committees, any commit
tee, would not be packed for any pur-
pose, but composed so as to bring out
differences of opinion, which naturally
would arrive at safer decisions. We
trust that Vermont will follow SO good
an example.

The Gevsvasrship Next Year.
The following excellent editorial 10
from the Burlington Free Press Of
February 9Th:
The gubernatorial campaign Of 1912
is some distance ahead, but 1t is possible
at this early date even to speak with q
certain degree Of positiveness regard
ing the selection of the next governor
Of Vermont.
The governors election in this State
in 1912 will be one Of principles
rather than of personality. The east
side has a number Of affable and popular
gentlemen who would make creditable
governor, but something more than this
will be necessary next year.
The people of Vermont are more
aroused than ever over a number of
greatissues, and the man who secures
the governorship in 1912 will have to
stand for a number of things.
The next governor Of Vermont will
have to stand for the rights and in
terests of the people as a whole as OPP
posed to any corporate interest what
to be man whose record and whose
personal interests will justify the ex-
pectations that he will sacredly fulfill
whatever pledges he may make in this
connection.
The next governor of Vermont will
not be any sudden convert to the
championship of the rights and in
terests of the people.
1t is also perfectly safe to say that
the next governor of Vermont will have
to go before the people with some
definite plan of relief for the people
from the burden of unjust and unequal
taxation. The people will not be salts
fled as in the past with some indefinite
generalization pledging "relief from
double taxation and so on that may
mean this or that or nothing at all.
The next governor of Vermont will
have to stand for real economy in the
matter of legislative appropriations,
starting out with budget showing
just what expenses must be met and
what revenue may be expected and just
about how much may be spent in further
increase of salaries and bounties and
miscellaneous appropriations.
These and other things are likely to
be demanded of the next governor of
Vermont and any candidate who can not
fill the requirements will be under a
heavy handicap from the very outset.
Unless we mistake the temper of the
people they will continue to think along
these lines, and the mere fact that a
man may bear particular political
name will not save him from rejection
at the polls. even. though in the absence
of political primary law he may cap
ture the nomination of his party.
Moreover, the people of Vermont viii
scan more carefully than ever in 1917
the qualifications and honesty and back.
bone of the men they choose to send tt
the Legislature to help the governor we
have outlined to carry out the program
the people demand. 1t is not too early
to begin talking about both platform
and candidates so that only those mer
will be eligible who measure up to the
requirements set by the people them
selves.

Middlebury, Vermont,
NY Dear Sir:-In our conversation at
Montpelier last Friday you mentioned
an article in one of the newspapers in
regard to the probability of some of the
roads in Europe being closed to auto
mobiles, and suggested that an article
in one of these papers would be in
teresting to me. If you know of any
such article, should be only too glad to
have you give me the name of the paper
so may secure it. am very anxious
to keep abreast of the times on this
automobile question as feel that it is
in its infancy, and that possibly marked
changes may take place in the next few
years in our policy Of handling the road
question. assure you that any in
formation along these lines that l can
obtain will be very much appreciated
Very truly yours.

In accordance with the above request,
We forwarded Mr.. Gates the Register
Of Feb. 8, containing a translation of
the Japanese automobile law, by which
the speed of motor cars is limited IN
that kingdom to six miles per hour in
the cities and eight miles per hour in
the country. Also the Register of JAM
6, that gives an account Of the very
strict regulations of automobiles that
are being introduced into European
countries, for the protection of the
highways and for the purpose of raising
a larger income to aid in repairing the
damage to the roads caused by the
rapid driving of automobiles.

Walsh. OF Chicago. the two most
prominent bankers ever convicted
and sentenced TO Federal penitentia-

In denying the pardons the Presi-

The truth is" said he, that I'm the

decades tho lines between profit from
legitimate business and improper gain
