Wasted Time in the Legislature.

Here is a timely aud thoughtful arti-
Gle which We copy from the Rutland
Herald It's logic cannot be disputed.
1t was freely admitted among expert
enced members of the legislature, quite
early in the session just ended, that the
session would be prolonged one. A
principal reason for their belief lay in
the fact that there was today, in Yer
mont AS in other states, many more
problems to be dealt with through legis-
lation than existed a generation back.
Some of them, too, are much more COM
plicated than those in former times. In
the opinion of these men the day has
passed when a Vermont legislature at
its biennial session can be expected to
deal adequately with the live issues OF
the period within the sixty days which
once were regarded as liberal limit for
a session.
But the extreme length of the recent
session was not due wholly to the en-
iarged demands upon the attention OF
the legislature. There was waste OF
time. In this respect the session was
not EXCEPTIONAL but the waste OF time
was larger than ever because, as usual
it was proportional to the length of the
session. 1t is no mere guess to surmist
that the longer the sessions grow the
greater the waste will become. AnC
one of the sources of this waste OF TIM
is the result of the prevalent system o
giving to every ambitious man in
town, so far as possible his "turn" a
representing the town in the Legislature
There are too few constituencies i
Vermont that recognize the wisdom o
re-electing an efficient representative
As rule those which do so not onl
secure good representation for them
selves, but they confer distinct bene
fit upon the state. Such men do niue
to expediate the organization of tn
legislature and the early proceedings
the session. The trouble is that ther
are altogether too few of them. tn
tried and seasoned legislators are but
handful amid the great mass of the Ut
tried and the unseasoned. Some {
these reelected representatives becom
leaders, but their leadership is frequen
ly trial to themselves and sometime
only measurable success because {
the lack of efficient lieutenancy.
1t is early in the day to make an
suggestions concerning the choice of tt
next legislature, but it is not too ear
to suggest that the people of the sewers
towns make such study of the record
their respective representatives as W
enable them to determine whether
not their man made good. And if
did he is the best man in town to elet
for at least one more term. He will !
fleet more honor upon the town than
new man, perhaps, and his experien
will aid in saving some of the tin
wasted in the state house.

Standing In His Own Light.

Any farmer who fails to take advan-
tage of the present high prices being
paid for hogs, cattle, sheep, horses and
poultry by growing more than he has
been raising, and by curtailing his to-
bacco, is standing in his own light.
Possibly never before has a good, all
purpose horse sold for as much as he is
now selling for. The same might be
said of cattle and hogs, and that there
is splendid profit in raising this kind of
stock at current prices no one can
doubt. There is no prospect of very
much lower prices, either. We have
heard of sheep selling in Grant county
during the week for as much as eight
dollars per head, of yearling steers sell
ling for as high as forty dollars and of
good milk cows bringing from fifty to
seventy-five dollars. OF course, you
can't raise good horse as quick as you
can a crop of tobacco, but the difference
in the profit is great enough to more
than counterbalance the time one has
to wait for his money. That there is
good money in growing corn and hngs
at present prices no one can deny.
Where then is the sen.e in continuing
to raise tobacco, which is at best an I'M
certain crop, when the price is quoted
below the cost of production? A man
with only small farm, say from thirty
to forty acres, can make good living
and at the same time improve his land
by raising poultry and eggs, and there
is always ready market. No man CO n
grow tobacco for less than ten cents a
pound and make wages. Even at ten
centsa pound there is not much more
than good wages in this crop. To make
Grant county what it should be we
have got to change our ways of farm
ing.
Show us farmer who has devoted
the better part of his lite to raising to-
bacco and we will show you a man who
has not made very great success fnan-
cially. Grant County News.

the cost of their installation in property
saved from fire, which but for them
would have been totally destroyed.
They have lowered the rates of in
surance so that we do not now have to
expend in insurance premiums in a few
years almost the value of the property
insured.
Nor is this all the good they have ac-
complished. Within the knowledge of
the writer water was being hauled from
Dix River for domestic purposes, and
sold to consumers at fifty cents per
barrel. Stock was driven for miles for
water, the mills, light plant and all
other industries which consumed any
amount of water were compelled to
haul from the river.
Such a thing now as being without
water for any purpose is unknown in
Lancaster.
Should we then not be justly proud
of our system of water works? 1t is
true the plant is not an extensive one,
but it is fully adequate for all present
demands. Never during the dryest
seasons have we been short of water,
for any purpose, unless perhaps, the
sprinkling privileges had to be curtail-
ed for a short period on one or two &C.
casions.
Another thing in their favor is that
/ the lake and pumping station is so To-
Gated that in the event that the exig-
encies should demand an increased sup
ply, say for instance the establishment
of factories in our town, which we hope
to see before many months, by extend
ing the mains distance of exactly one
mile in an air line, we can reach Dix
river, and by adding supplementary
battery Of engines, obtain an mex
haustible supply of pure water. -
Aside from the advantages above set
out, and above all, our water has ever
been pure and perfectly safe for drink
ing p rposes. A rigid analysis by the
best chemists in the state failed to
show any disease germs in the water.
We should take every precaution to
see that our water works are kept up
to the high standard heretofore main
tanned.
No expense should be spared, every
dollar spent on them should be consider
ed well spent. The filter Should be
changed often, especially in the sum-
mer months when the sand is likely to

thus preventing thorough filtration.
The filter should be thoroughly over
hauled and put in first class condition
before the coming of the heated season.
Care shnuld be taken of the water shed
Immediately surrounding the lake, self
closing gates should be proyiden to pre-
clude the possibility of stock getting in
and grazing, All decaying vegetable

Ever since the end of the Russia-Jap-

Lancaster's Pride.

Perhaps we have been brought more
fully to a realization of the value OF
our system of water works in the last
month than ever before. They are
taken as a matter of course, until we
have a fire, then when by their use
thousands of dollars worth of property
is saved, we are brought to recognize
them for their real value.
When it was suggested several years
ago that we put in system of water
works, the proposal met with opposi
ton from many taxpayers. 1t was said
that we could not afford them. Those
same people are willing now to say
that we cannot afford to be without
them. In the few years that we have
had them they have saved many times
