circumstances made it necessary and
justihable but a repetition of the
circumstances should not be allow
ed.
The longer term would allow
business a longer period free from
political disturbance and would
give the president ample time to
perform his best service and it
would make the employment of fed
eral officials for political purposes
less probable. There are enough
men of presidential calibre to ensure
the country of a desirable man
once in six years. Let the country
think it over and see if it is ready
to try it.

One Term of Six Years.

There seems to be considerable
merit in the proposition to have the
presidential term changed to six
years and every president Ineligible
to serve another term. Under the
present system the president shapes
the whole course of his first term
with view of securing a reelection.
If reelected he then gives the coun-
try four years of Independent SER
vice. The custom of rejecting our
president has made the $25, 900 per
year for travelling expenses neces-
sary. 1t takes the president away
from his official duties on political
errands and to some extent is det-
rimentaI to good service. No one
can really enjoy the recent exper-
fence of having the president leave
his official duties and take the
stump in a political campaign. The
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-05-08

the said Commission should refuse
the application.
All construction of dams, or 9TH
er improvements should be abso-
lutely under the supervision of the
Commission, and if the holder of
the franchise should not obey any
order of the Commission, the fran
chise should at once be cancelled.
Two most important points have
not been mentioned. The period for
which the franchises should be
granted, and the remuneration the
state should receive for such fran
chises.
In Wisconsin the franchise is
granted for twenty years with the
privilege of two renewals. This
term seems to me too short, and
should advocate a franchise for
100 years, with regulations for adj
justing it at the end of the term.
AS to the remuneration the state
should receive, Wisconsin collects
five per cent. on the value of each
horse power, with certain restric-
tions. Would it not be better for
this state to impose a franchise fee
of a certain per cent. on the gross
earnings of any such improvement,
and if, for any reason, the improve
ments were not used, to impose a
fee ola fixed sum graded according
to the value of the franchise? Fail
ure to pay the franchise fee should
forfeit the franchise, and it should
be distinctly understood that the
franchise fee is not tax and does
not take the place of any tax.
| There are very many other de-
tails, such as the right to appeal to
! the courts, etc., that it is not neces-
sary to mention here, but the fore
going gives a general idea of the
legislation that 1 would strongly
urge for enactment by the legisla-
ture of our state 1t is to be hoped
that some such plan for the regula-
ton Of our valuable natural resourc-
es will soon be adopted by the state
of Vermont

Retirement Of G. a. Prouty.

A Washington correspondent to
The Gazette writes that Charles A.
Prouty is soon to resign his position
as member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and will return
to his old home at Newport; also,
that he will be a candidate for the
senatorship now held by William P.
Dillingham;
We do not know but are willing
to gamble that the Richford Gazette
is getting a little fast in it's predic-
tions about Mr.. Prouty. He has
nearly two years to serve as chair
man of the interstate commerce
commission and We do not believe he
intends to retire until the close OF
his term. In regard to his candi-
dacy for the senatorship to succeed
w. p. Dillingham; we do not believe
he has announced himself as a can
didate. However comments heard in
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1912-05-08

all this section Of the state lead
The Caledonian to believe that he
will be asked to become a candidate
in the election of a senator in 1914.
People hereabouts believe he is the
man 90 send to the senate to assist
in working out the problem of con-
trolling big business in a sane and
practical manner. So events may
come about as predicted in The
Gazette but they are not quite facts
yet.
The Barre Times makes the fol-
lowing comment on the announce
ment made in the Caledonian that
Mr.. Prouty intends to retire from
the commission at some future date:
If Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Charles A Prouty follows
up his announced intention of retir-
ing from the public service and re-
turning to his Vermont home at
Newport, it will be a serious loss to
the commission on which he has
served so efficiently. Commissioner
Prouty is, by general consent, one
of the strongest men Vermont has
sent out for some time; and he has
been of great service to the United
States government in his present
position. The announcement that he
intended to retire was made by him
at the recent meeting of the Vermont
association in Washington, ID. c.,
and it came with startling sudden
ness to his hearers. However, none
will gainsay that, now somewhat
past middle life, he has earned the
leisure which may come to him IL
the surroundings of his youth.

The Man on the Box at The Colonial
Wednesday, May 10.


1t is an old but true saying that
all the world loves a lover, and a
dramatic offering with strong ro-
mantle love story is always source
of splendid entertainment to those
who visit the theatre. Such play
is THE Man on the Box" which
will be presented at The Colonial on
Wednesday, May Is.
The scenes of the play are located
in Washington. The hero is a young
lieutenant, lately resigned from the
United States army, a dare devil
kind of fellow and practical jok-
er. In a spirit of fun he assumes
the position of a coachman, hence
the title of the play, THE Man on
the Box" The occupant of the We
hicle is in truth, the young man s
sweetheart, but she is unaware OF
the identity of her coachman. When
he assists her from the carriage, be
kisses her several times, which OF
course, is very rude in a coachman
but that is the starting point of the
fun. This provides the ground work
of the humorous romance, and judg
/ ing from what has been said of the
play, it is one of the most enter
tanning as well as amusing plays
that has been offered to the public
\ for many years.

Popular Sovereignty.

AODulaE sovereignty
In these days when so much is be-
ing said about the power of the peo-
pie and their rights it is somewhat
refreshing to look back and consider
opinions of strong men in American
history. We find this definition of
popular sovereignty by the late Ed
ward J. Phelps, one of the master
minds of Vermont citizenship. THE
sovereignty of the people is not the
arbitrary power or blind caprice of
the multitude, any more than of an
aristocracy or a despot. 1t is not
the right of any class, small or
great, high or low, to wrong or OPP
press another. 1t is not struggle
between classes at all. 1t is simply
the recognition of the natural and
government formed for their protec-
ton by it's people, and regulated by
law, a system under which every
citizen, in the peace of God and of
the State, shall be assured by indie
feasible right, and not by favor or
sufferance, in the enjoyment of his
life, his liberty, his property in all
it's forms, his home, his family rela-
tions, his freedom of conscience and
of speech" 4
Mr.. Phelps declares that popular
eOxraroirp+xr 10 fba foundation ctOpo
of our constitution and that the
principal and largest function of
the supreme court is the defence and
preservation of the constitution
which created it as the permanent
fundamental law on which our sys-
tenn of government depends. The
supreme court is the paramount and
Independent tribunal to determine
the construction of the constitution
and to enforce it's precepts in the
last resort.
In the same address Mr.. Phelps
says: by the memorable logic of
sound constitutional principles, it
has OOSh O4Ou6nC " pass that I4AC
rights of the people find their last
and best security, not in the popular
assembly, nor in any agency of it's
creation, but in that institution of
government which is furtherest of
all beyond the popular reach; which
is made, as far as any institution
can be, Independent of public feeling
and invulnerable to the attack of
majorities. Having it's origin in the
sovereignty of the people, it is the
bulwark of the people against their
own unadvised action, their own un-
instructed will. 1t saves them from
themselves. And so it perpetuates
the sovereignty from which it
sprang, and which has best provided
for its own supremacy by the sur
render of a power it was danger
Gus to retain
There may not be so many votes
in this doctrine as there is in the
talk one hears about 1.-The people
at the present time but we submit
it to our readers for their thought
full consideration in the belief that
its soundness will appeal to them.
