THE PUBLIC SERVICE COM
MISSION is A LEGAL BODY
The Vermont Supreme Court Decides That
the Public Service Commission is a
Legally Administrative Body

The Vermont Supreme Court on Tues
day announced that the Public Service
Commission was legal body. Chief
Judge Rowell and Judges Munson and
Haselt On, the three oldest members OF
the court, voted Yes, while Judges Wat
son and Powers said No.
Judge Haselton read the opinion of the
majority and Judge Powers the dissent
ing opinion.
This case was brought before the SUI
preme Court I'M Ian appeal from the order
of the Public Service Commission in re-
lation to placing OF tiagmen at the cross
ing at Alburgh and the case was known
on the docket as Sabre ct ais VS. the Rut-
land and Central Vermont Railroads.
The Rutland road took an appeal to the
Supreme Court on the ground that the
Public Service commission was eXercls-
ing administrative, judicial and the legis-
lative powers contrary to the constitution
of the state.
The majority of the court held that the
board had certain administrative powers
and while that they were clothed with
quasi judicial powers they were not
anu "Illlo bnoy hdl iOF
islative pow"l's, such powers were not in
violation OF lie constitution, but were
given them 10 make government efficient.
The court also held that if they were
clothes with unconstitutional powers by
any of the acts, that such might be- sepa-
rated without declaring the entire law I'M
constitutional. The court, however, did
not attempt to point out i" Vt we're con-
stitutional and what were demonstrations
al measures.
Judge Powers read long dissenting
opinion.
He argued that the Interstate CONNER.
ce Commission was an administrative
body, but without exercising legislative
functions. He said Legislative function
cannot be changed. 1t always remains
legislative junction. The orders of the
Public Service commission the judge
said were so closely related to legislative
acts that it takes an expert to distinguish
bet %een them. He further stated that
if the board has these powers, other state
boards like the Board of Pharmacy, the
State Cattle Commission, the Board OF
Weights and Measures and the Horse
Doctors Commission, which he said had
been passed by the recent legislature,
might also receive the same authority of
exeI cislng the powers now exercised by
the courts.

our state and help develop our resources,
our schools and other institutions is worth
more than five families Of city people,
who only live with us two months.
We must not make our laws so obnoX-
ious that people living on our farms will
feel that they have no rights.
The Doctor thinks it is an insult to
the intelligence of the legislature to ask
them to repeal this law.
We believe very few outside the COM
mittees that had this bill have given it
any serious thought.
There is no public demand in our state
to keep all the sewage out of our streams,
neither is there any public demand for
this bill. As this law now stands, several
farmers in Morristown after the first of
February will be deprived of the right to
let any sewage from buildings get into
this brook, while those above in the town
Of Elmore can pollute these same waters
all they please. The legislature should
not pass a law that is not intended to be
enforced. Are they going to compel these
farmers to obey this law after February
first, because one man thinks he wants it
so?
We do not believe they will when they
the real meaning of this bill;
neither do we believe they will compel us
to be to the expense of taking this to the
Supreme Court to protect our individual
and property rights.
Very truly,
G. F. Smith.

On Tenab1e Grounds

Mr. Hapgood of Peru is on tenable
grounds in protesting against the resolu-
ton adopted by the legislature making
the pay of all state house employees the
same as that of members of the general
assembly, with the same liberal allow
ance for mileage. Four dollars day for
pages-boys hardly in their teens who
run errands few hours not over five days
a week-and 81 day for sweepers and
other employees is an warranted extra =
agance, and payment more than COM
mensurate with the duties performt d.
The members of the legislature are sup
posed to be the men most noted for Wis
dom and virtue in their respective towns.
They are hardly throwing bouquets at
tn il own heads when they place them
sci les in the same class with pages and
sweepers. BIZ attleboro Phoenix

The state college of Kansas is teaching
the girls "ro become first class wives"
and this course is declared to be progress
sive. But we fail to see Why this dis
elimination should be. Such course in
domestic economy () is only in part pro-
gressive so long as it is not coed. Gen
eral observation teaches that men are as
much in need of training to become first
class" husbands as are girls to become
" hrst-class wives. Ofcourse there are
masculine specimens who can give first
aid to the furnace or escort the ash can
out of the cellar without breaking the
furniture or kicking the cat, but they are
hus rare and abnormal. For the normal
band, who aims to become "hrst-class'
such a college course ought to be benef-
cial in cutivating a spirit of meekness, il
nothing else The suffragist ladies ought
to look this up.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
INCOMPATIBLE.

"To take fruit into the stom-
ach along with vegetables"
says DR.. r. S. Ingersoil, twill
cause trouble, for the fruit can
not be separated from the vege-
tables" Vegetables require
from two to four hours to d.
gest, fruits about one hour, SO
that these classes of foods are
incompatible. The fact that the
stomach discharges it's contents
at intervals makes foods requir-
ing different times for digestion
none the less Incompatible, for
examination of the contents of
the stomach two hours after eat
ing such a combination shows
the fruit, or a part of it, mixed
with the other food, and it is
reasonable to suppose that the
effort to separate the two, after
the fruit is prepared to pass, is
wastefuI of vitality and tends to
weaken the normal action of the
stomach, and accordingly we
find that in severe cases of dys-
pepsia suitable monodiet is
necessary.

The United States Senate loses an odd
figure in the death of Senator Jeff Davis
of Arkansas His oratorical rank in the
Senate simply amused the public. and
while he was regarded generally as a rhe
torical false alarm, Arkansas liked him
and regarded him as stanch defender of
the republics liberties. Few states would
elect Jeff Davis Senator, which speaks well
for the intelligence Of the states generally,
and if Arkansas was satisfied with him
that state is entitled to sympathy rather
than censure
