FRIDAY. JANUARY 81, 1913
Efficie ncy Commission
Needed

We have been slow to criticisa the
present General Assembly, for we be-
lieve the body is really trying to
handle intelligently and periodically
some very big matters, and a rea-
sonable amount of time is necessary
to do the work well. But it really
does seem that long weekend ad-
journments-from Friday afternoon
until Monday evening-at this stage
of the session are unnecessary and
uncalled for, and that great deal
of loss is put upon the state thereby.
Substantially everything stops for
three days each week while the legis-
lators go home for over Sunday. 1t
costs about $500 day meanwhile to
meet the perdiems and other State
House expenses. If any good pur-
pose, advantageous to the state,
were served, there would be more
excuse, but none is. Early in the
session, while things are starting off,
such adjournments may reasonably
be taken, but now, after nearly four
months of it, with over $50 bills in
committee or undisposed of, there
can be no plea of lack of work in
hand. This session has already run
nearly to the record of time, and as
yet it's actual accomplishments are
almost nothing. Its record as con-
structive body is still to be made.
Yet it dawdles along, taking things
easy, and apparently unaware that
the public eye is focused upon it as
perhaps never before. We have
never seen a legislative body so slow
to strike it's gait. Even now no one
undertakes to predict within month
when final adjournment will come,
and the committee having that sub
ject in hand is apparently as much
In the dark as the state at large.

REPORT OF
VERMONT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week state labor is well employed, in
fact there are but few willing to
work but what can find employment
Retail merchants have been obliged
to content themselves with
business derived from clearance
sales, as the weather continued mild
and spring-like, a condition for Janu-
airy that has not been experienced
for years, has materially delayed
movement of the class of goods which
are generally purchased during this
period of the year. Lack of snow
has not only been felt in the cities,
in the retailing of heavier clothing,
furs and sleighs, but in the country
districts as well. The farmer has
not been able to move his lumber or
wood. Lumber dealers are complain
ing as there is practically no snow
for the hauling Of logs TO mills, but
the cut this year is reported as about
as large as usual. Uneven tempera-
ture of wider range than usual has
caused a delay among the granite
quarries. The granite manufacturer
reports sufficient work on hand to-
keep them busy for the next. two
months or more, but the rush period
is not on yet. Wooden mill manu-
facturers are conservative regard
ing the outlook for the future al
though mills are well employed at
present. Machine shops are busy
and report considerable business,
Wholesalers of food stuffs state the
buying for future delivery has been
good. Generally, collections are re
ported slow. Included in the week S
failures are five bankruptcies.
Burlington manufacturing inter
ests are well employed and the de-
mand for goods in the wood working
line appears good. Decidedly mild
weather for this period Of the year
has delayed the movement of season.
able goods. Reports from Rutland
indicate labor is well employed and
retail merchants are having a reason
ably good trade considering the lack
of snow. St. Adams manufacturers
report mills are well employed but
retail trade has been affected by I'M
seasonable weather. The machine
industries at St. Johnsbury report a
large business on hand and are
behind on orders. Retail business is
fairly good but collections are below
the average. The granite manu-
facturers at both Barre and Mont
pelier speak we'll of the manner in
which new business has come in and
the outlook for the future is good
What sleighing they have had there
the past week has helped trade to
some extent at the retail stores.
The paper mills at Bellows Falls are
we'll employed and additional help is
being secured at the machine shops.
The shirt factory is employed full
force and capacity. Brattleboro re.
ports labor of all kinds is in good de-
mand and that the trade at the stores
has been reasonably good. At Ben
nington the manufacturing plants
are well employed and the merchants
report clearance sales well patron
lied.

In the death Of Gus furstenau,, Ram.
sey county loses one of her most time
honored and valuable citizens. Mr..
Furstenau had lived in this county for
the past twenty-five years and we
doubt if there was a man of higher
standing or better citizen in the
county. His public career as county
commissioner and later as county
treasurer Of this county, lent honor and
credit to his name. To know him was
to like him and his death while in
the prime Of life has left cloud Of
sorrow over this county which time
alone can raise. Peace be to his re.
mains and honor to his memory. The
publisher Of this paper had known him
for years and in his death we feel that
we have lost near and dear friend.

Jared better. In fact, we have had an
abundance of lighter entertainment,
with such comedians as Weber and
Fields topping the list. 1t will prob
ably be some time before Birmingham
theatregoers have an opportunity of
seeing another show of its kind on
scale as elaborate as that of the Weber
and Fields show. The tabloid" musi-
cal comedy offerings seem to have
met with great favor, while grand
opera at intervals has been offered
by a competent organization. Had
not winsome Maude Adams come TO

hHE current theatrical season in
Birmingham has been charac-
terized by noticeable absence
of dramatic stars of the first magnl-
tude. Such players as John Drew,
Ethel Barrymore, Robert Manteli,
Mrs. Carter, John Mason, David War

erous others who are accustomed to
pay the south frequent visits haye re-
manned away this season, although
several stars who have appeared in
local theatres in the past came south
this year without stopping over in
Birmingham on their hasty flight to
New Orleans. However, these excep--
tions do not account for the dearth Of
high class dramatic offerings. We
have had some new plays, it is true,
but most of the favorite players have
remained away. According to all re-
ports, the present theatrical season
has been far from satisfactory in a
financial way and as a result the
