Ing home Now. there is some truth in
that, but to my mind. the States in
terests will be better advanced by your
remaining here until such a time as you
have placed Vermont in the advanced
rank with its sister States, in construc-
tive, progressive legislation of a safe and
sane type.
you will also hear from various
sources that there Is not sufficient
money to reach certain ends. that's all
very well, gentlemen. that's good state
policy, but to my mind the only limi-
tation you should know is this: Is 1t for
the interests of the State, and is the
State to get value received? Gentlemen,
we have system of indirect taxation,
and II has worked very well In the
state Of Vermont, but there are worse
things that might come to the State
than direct state tax of reasonable
size-and to my mind, that which you
should Keep before you at all times Isl:
can we pass an appropriation here
which Will really advance the interests
OF the state, and If so. are we getting
value received?
In conclusion at this time. permit me
to say that think this is my sixth term
mp here. If the experience that / have
gained during that time can be of any
service to you personally, gentlemen |
wish you would command IT, | should be
glad to meet you all individually in the
executive chamber at any time that YOU
may desire
Gentlemen. thank you for your cour-
tesy and your attention"

EXPENDITURES.

This increase Of legislative expense OF
| nearly $50 per cent. Is. In my judgment
wholly uncalled-for, and an extrava-
gance without an excuse. There are
| many avenues through which this money
could have been expended which would
have Injured greatly to the good Of our
people. The spirit of progress toward
| better conditions is stimulating our
people as never before, and is not here
| an opportunity for this Legislature to
set an example worthy of that ambition
| which should be the aim of every true
Vermonter?
Do not deceive yourselves with the de-
lusions that this money spent so lavishly
does not come from the hard earnings OF
| the common people. We boast of our rev.
| cnues from corporate taxation. Don't
| forget that this money spent so freely
comes from the great masses and when
you are urged to vote large appropria-
! lions for some questionable purpose re-
| member that you are indirectly empty
| ing your own pockets. Let us strive 70
return to and maintain the economy of
our fathers; only spending our State s
money when 1t can be done for such
purpose as will inure to the greatest
good Of our people,
| Gentlemen: You are honored in being
chosen as the representatives of the free
men of this State to guard carefully her
present interest and to provide for her
future with your best judgment
strengthened by your knowledge obtained
from the experience of other Legisla-
lures
You should ever realize the worthy
examples of your ancestors who have as
sembled In these halls and who have
given our State a reputation for wise
and helpful legislation unsurpassed by
| that Of any other State. a galaxy of
| names is furnished which should serve
| as stimulant to your highest cndeav-
ors. Your opportunity is ever present
and your duty should call for your best
efforts. With these thoughts ever In
| mind you should realize the great bless.
ngs bestowed upon your State by a
kind T rovidcnce, approaching the worthy
inheritance from your fathers, and may
the results Of your labors be of such ma
turc that Vermont may continue to be
| rega rded as one of the best governed
States Of our union.

MESSAGE SAID COME ON.
No Evidence. However, As to Who
Gave II and Caused Collision,

Rutland, Oct. 4.-There was no evil
dence introduced to-day in Rutland
county court in the negligence case in
which John ". Blanchard of this city is
the plaintiff and the Rutland Railway,
Light and Power company the defend
ant to show who gave the telephone mes
sage which was probably the cause of
the fatal collision between a trolley pas
senger car and electric express near Cas-
tleton Corners May c. 1912. resulting in
the present suit and several others which
are pending. This message was "All right,
come on" and II assured the crew Of the
express car waiting at Castleton that
the track was clear for them to proceed
to Castleton Corners to meet an east
bound passenger car. 1t was between
these two places that the cars met a few
minutes later.
Ernest r. Hall, messenger on the ex-
press car, was one of the most importan
witnesses of the morning. He testified
that while at Castleton he saw Motorman
George Warren go to the telephone and
that the latter told him that word had
been received that the track was clear.
AT this time the express car had about
l. minutes to spare before the oncoming
passenger car was due at the Corners
The running time OF the express from
Castleton to the Corners is five min
utes.
Motorman Warren testified that he
telephoned as Mr.. Hall stated and that
the message. "All right, come on" came
over the wire in a voice he thought he
recognized as that OF the man In charge
OF the sub-station at the Corners He had
no hesitation In starting ahead and
there was no doubt in his mind as to tho
source OF the message.
One OF the other suits which hinges on
this case Is an action to recover SIC. 900
for the death of Earl C. Clark, the
motorman of the passenger car In the
collision.
