the case were submitted In ordinary
court procedure, after which the conduct
OF this kind of action largely patterns.
it is usually customary for the court
which is to pass judgment TO hear the
evidence in the case, both the prosecu-
ton and the defense, and then to render
decision as nearly as possible in con
| formity with the facts as presented. In
this particular instance, the Vermont
public service commission had not heard
the evidence in the telephone investiga-
ton; the defending company had not APP
reared before the commission to state
its defense; the commission was asked
dict simply by basins Judgment on the
presentations of one side of the inyesti-
cation, which happened to be the states
side, as made by the special counsel EN-
ployed by the state. The public service
commission could not have issued an or
der without laying itself liable to the
charge of "railroading" case through
against the telephone corporation; and
the people of the state, while DESTROYS
of having grievances set right, are not
prepared to engage in such rush methods
as that. The more orderly and fair
course would have been for the public
service commission to grant hearings,
listen to the complaints and to the de
tense, weigh the evidence and then rem
der its verdict; but, not having conduct
ed such hearing, the public service
commission was undoubtedly justified in
not issuing an order on the recommen-
dation of the special counsel employed
by the state, although it is quite gen
orally believed that there is cause for
grievance back of the numerous com
plants that have been entered. How
ever if there was failure by the public
service commission to conduct an inves.
tigation after well-grounded charges had
been made, that is another matter to be
considered and the truth of it perhaps
will come out in the later revelations.

GOV. FLETCHER AND THE TELE-
PHONE INVESTIGATION.

As more information is revealed about
the telephone investigation in Vermont
including the action of Governor Fetch
err yesterday in removing Chairman
Charles ID. Watson of st. Adams and in
accepting the resignation of George H.
Rabbit of Bellows Falls for alleged neg
lect to conduct an investigation of the
telephone conditions, there is less tenden-
cy to lay censure on the public service
commission. Undoubtedly there is much
more about the disagreement between
the executive and the commission which
has not been revealed to the public, so
that the public, although stirred by the
developments in the case, viii withhold
final Judgment until such time as the
full facts are known.
Meanwhile, the position apparently
taken by the public service commission
must be commended as sensible 1t goes
without saying that the people of Yer
mont were with Governor Fletcher in a
movement to secure better regulation
and perhaps to reduce the charges of
telephone service, because many COM
plants of inadequate service and of
charges which were considered too high
have been made but at the same time
the people of the state desired to be
fair with the corporation furnishing that
service, not wishing to handicap it by
unfair treatment or to cripple it by UNI
due inroads on it's receipts.
To be entirely fair it would be neces-
sary TO conduct a much more thorough
investigation than was conducted by the
special counsel employed by the state; it
would be necessary to hold meetings in
various places where complaints of poor
service and exorbitant charges originated
and to give the telephone corporation
full opportunity to express its side of
the matter Il defense Of its policy. More
over, tho body which was expected TO
pass Judgment ought itself to be the in
vestigating agency or at least ought to
be the judge before whom the facts in

tomary alarm, comes careering around
corner OF some of the narrow streets,
but that no fatal accident has occurred,
has been merely luck, and not due to
the care Of drivers.
This statement is not a sweeping one.
for there are those who take the utmost
care in driving both within and outside
the town. but there are others. who prac-
tice making a race track of the prin-
cipa streets of the village. There is a
speed limit and if it is not lived up to,
at least there should be some regard
for those who may still desire the lux
ury OF driving or walking quietly along
the thoroughfares of the town. It has
become a common habit of some drivers
to start at the bridge and put on all
the speed possible in order to take"
Main street hin past the Brown library

is persisted in, sooner or later, there
is going TO be an accident, then the
practice will be stopped. How much
