The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1911-01-20
Majority Would Rule.
r., Alhops Nacsenger \

tSt. Adams NeSsenger)
But taking our friends of the small
town. argument on their own ground, let
us see how their argument against the dl-
rect primary system will work out. so
far from working to the detriment OF the
small town, it would actually work to
the benefit of the minority of people in
the polls anywhere, small town or large
town. Indeed, it comes very near giving
something like the minority representa-
ton that some authorities on civics insist
will come one of these days.
Under the present caucus system, dele
gates favoring such and such candidate
for nomination for public office may be
sent from any town, large or small, by a
mere majority of one in the caucus vote.
And generally the caucus vote is but a
very small part of the vote of the town
itself, because the voters have long ago
begun to dstrust caucllses and stay away
from them, more or less, unless some UNI
usual issue is raised.
BY the present block method of repre-
sentation in party political conventions,
it is possible to make combinations of
delegates apportioned to towns under an
arbitrary and not strictly numerically rep
resentative plan and elected by narrow
margins, at that, and these combinations
can name the governor of Vermont, and
yet be actually representative of but a
small fraction of the people. All the mi
nority vote in each town is lost-and IL
logically, too, because the town is not
voting for a town office but for state
officer, and state total and not the
largest part of 246 separate town totals
should choose him.
Under direct primary system, the mi
nority vote in each town would be car.
ried over to swell the total of the same
vote, majority or minority, in each other
town. And the majority of the people,
man for man, voter for voter, would have
their say in the choice of Vermont's gov
eminent for the first time in its history.

A SENSIBLE REPORT.

The majority report of the house com
mittee on railroads with reference TO the
bill giving the Vermont Valley corpora
ton authority to extend its line from
Brattleboro to South Vernon indicates
that the committee has accurately grasped
the railroad situation that exists at this
corner of the state. The committee is OF
the belief that the granting OF the Yer
mont Valley charter with such amend
ments rs have been made to protect the
interests of the Central Vermont, the town
of Brattleboro and local shippers will best
provide for the needs of the public and
will do harm or injustice to no one, 1t
properly takes into account the fact that
the roadbed of the Central Vermont be-
tween Brattleboro and South Vernon has
been in poor condition for a long time,
also the fact that the Central Vermont
company showed no disposition to improve
conditions in this respect until driven to
it by the Boston & Maine plan. The COM
mittee believes that the interests of both
roads will best be served by their having
independent tracks through this town, sand
is of the opinion that the Boston 4 Maine
plan instead of robbing the Central Yer
mont of terminal facilities will make its
terminal in this town better arranged
than before
The Reformer is confident that this SEN
sible view of the situation will be taken
by a majority of the members of both
branches of the legislature and that the
authority asked for by the Vermont Valley
road will be granted. We do not believe
that there is anything in the bill in its
present form that will hamper the Grand
Trunk in carrying out any project it may
have for extending its lines to Providence,
Il. |. This extension, if planned in good
faith, will not be dropped simply because
the state of Vermont has opened the way
for railroad competition in the upper Con
necticut valley

The Improved Railroad Service.

(Fitchburg Sentinel.
Under the new regime of the New York,
New Haven. Boston x Maine railroads, the
through trains between New York and
Greenfield will come into the Springfield
station by the Boston & Maine tracks,
instead of by the Boston 4 Albany tracks,
as formerly. This change is to go into ef-
feet shortly, and is part of the combining
of facilities that the two roads are under
going under one head, and which in time,
will include uniform system OF rails
from New York to White River Junction.
The trains that have been running from
New York to Greenfield now pass over
the rails of three roads. The trains come
north from New York on the New Haven
tracks, and on reaching Springfield, are
switched around the curve to the Boston
4 Albany tracks; then the few cars that
are to 60 through would be placed behind
Boston x Maine engines and taken up on
the tracks of the Connecticut division.
BY the new system passengers taking
trains for Greenfield on the through cars
will occupy these cars on the north side
of the station. The trains, including train
50. and its corresponding return train,
will 90 from the New Haven tracks di-
rectly along the cross-over above the Bos-
ton 4 Albany bridge, to the tracks of the
Connecticut division, will be made up and
will back into the station on the north
side with Boston 4 Maine engines already
attached.
This is only one of the links that the
New Haven road is forging in its chain
connecting it to the Boston 4 Maine sys-
TEN in actual rolling stock rather than in
the kind that is to be heard in the
market

Out of the income of the Thompson fund
there was available for expenditure in
Bratteboro during the year beginning
May 1, 1909, the sum of S76, 725.35. OF
this amount less than half was spent, and
less than one-ffth Of the amount expended
was used in direct aid to those who were
made beneficiares Of the fund under the
will. In other words, only S6,29IU OF
the $34 ,S5014 of the Thompson fund in
come spent in Brattleboro during the year
ending last May was used in giving direct
aid to seamstresses, needle-women and
shop girls. The Reformer will not say that
the trustees of the Thompson fund were
not justified in contributing SIT 1000 to-
ward the support of the Memorial hospital,
$2,57902 toward local tuberculosis work,
S3,O41.07 toward the Mutual Aid associa-
ton, $2,433.20 for the maintenance of
summer cottage for working women, and
1914 on for the local free kindergarten. 1t be-
lieves all of these causes to be worthy and
of great advantage to Bratteboro. But in
view of the size of the income available
for use in this town it is strongly of the
opinion that the trustees, without inter
fering in any way with their pet institu-
tons, could be more liberal in assisting
those persons for whom the fund was es-
tablished and whose servants the trustees
are supposed to be.

Primary Law Worth Trying.
lNorthfeld News

tNOItnllclu NtWs.l
The surprise of number of surprising
things in the present general assembly was
the course of the members OF the house in
reconsidering and killing the direct primary
law act after they had passed it by a
good majority, II seems to The News that
a great mistake has been made in slaugh
tering this measure The News, to be sure,
is comparatively new convert to a direct
primary election law for small state like
Vermont. After observing the results of
the first trial of this law in the neighbor-
ing state of New Hampshire, where tor the
first time perhaps in the history of that
state the people actually ruled and drove
the railroad domination to the wall, there
was no other possible conclusion than that
a great advance had been made in popular
government. While it is true that Yer
mont is not firmly in the grasp of any
great corporation, it is a fact that there
are political conditions which ought and
will be changed in the near future. The
primary law is certainly worth trying out.
The change of mind in enough of the legs-
lators to recall and kill the measure after
it had been passed by them makes it more
or less evident that the so-called lead
ers' of the parties in some OF the towns
got after their respective representatives
and pointed out the terrible things that
would happen if the voters were encour-
aged to get out and vote as they pleased.

present legislature is q ,616, which at the
rate of 60 cents mile, amounts to $13,-
15l.40. Ten cents mile is the rate at
which the mileage is figured on each trip,
including those to and from the Thanks
giving and Christmas recesses. Windham
county's mileage is the largest of any
county in the state, amounting to 3,52l,
which at 60 cents a mile comes to 81
1890. Somerset's representative collects
the most of any representative from this
county, getting $134.40 for travelling ex.
penses. The gentleman from Searsburg
. gets the largest amount paid to any mem
Der, $136.S0 for 224 miles. If full mileage
is voted to all the minor officers about the
state-house, as now seems likely, the total
cost of mileage for the session will reach
S13,95G.60.

Greenfield GaZette.)
The Boston Il Maine and Central Yer
mont roads have had scrimmage the
past weeks as to the rights for the b, Il
Ms new track at Bratteboro, built for
an independent through route. The Cen
trail Vermont wants an arrangement for a
joint use of main line by both roads, a
plan naturally unsatisfactory TO the Dos
ton 4 Maine, which wants its own indie
pendent track and station. As Vermont
has much more TO hope in future from
the Boston Il Maine than from the Cen
trail Vermont, il would seem strange il it
did not give the stronger road the abso
lutte control of favorable location of its
own. The steady improvement in the
White mountains and the intermediate
country will be very helpful to the Con
necticut river valley section of Vermont,
and the state should reciprocate.

seat 80, directly behind the assistant
clerks, and every time Morton A. Ives
of Mount Holly, puts in his contribution
to the gaiety of things he is so located
that gallery habitues can get proper
focus on him.
Morton really outclasses anything that
Mount Holly has ever before attempted
As yet he has not attempted to josh the
chaplain, but what he has attempted IN
the way of impeding legislation warrants
him being returned TO the legislature in
two years and also entities him to be
made the chairman of a committee of one
to devise ways and means to suppress
would-be funny ones.
Ives ought to know better than to make
such ludicrous attempts at being funny,
for he is 10 years old and was educated
at Black River academy. His career as a
public servant includes every office un-
der the district school system, according
