The Referendum in Vermont.

THE referendum idea Is growing
in favor, here in Vermont. 1t was
tried at the recent March meeting
with respect to the constitutional
amendments and next March two
matters presented by the legislature
of 1912 will come up for action-the
proposed state house annex and the
straw vote on the primary system
Several propositions were made to
submit other matters. Even Cover
nor Fletcher suggested that in the
event OF the two houses being unable
to agree upon tax law this import
ant question should be turned over
to the voters.
1T has become latterly quite popu
lar to propose turning over to the vot
ers in this way matters that the leg
islative body does not care to assume
responsibility for or that their pro-
motors fear will not carry otherwise.
If the questions submitted are of
large concern, upon which the voters
are likely to pass superior judgment
to their chosen representatives., we
see no reason to dread the referen-
DUN, but 1t would be unwise to eX-
tend its scope to trivial matters or
those requiring special knowledge"
Randolph Herald and News.
OF course there are times when
the referendum may be used to ad-
vantage when there is some great
matter of governmental policy to be
determined which does not involve
technical knowledge of the matter at
hand; such case, for example, as
when, the policy being determined,
the working out of the details of the
plan would be left to the regularly
elected representatives. This is a
statement of the case under condi-
tons of proportionate representation
which are supposed to exist in the
American plan of government. But,
hostile as the referendum is to the
purely representative form of gov
eminent, there is more reason for its
being practiced with much fire.
quency in Vermont than in most 9TH
er states for the good and simple rea-
son that 1t is the only way that the
people, fall and by, can get adequate
and proper voice in the guiding of
affairs. II the mbership of the
lower house OF the legislature were
based on population and were truly
| representative, then many calls for
the referendum could not be justified
And, even as IL is. the referendum
ought not to be used If best results
are to be obtained-that is. ought
not to be used except to determine
| policy-for the man in the street can
not be expected to have the exact
knowledge nor give up the time to
acquire it, that must be possessed by
the representative If he is true and
wise servant of the people. But the
general application of the American
principles of government cannot be
made with much accuracy or assur-
ance to Vermont because Vermont
does not have a representative form
of government and the people do not
rule.-St. Adams Messenger.

Bankers cantered home.

The Bankers have been in. every

defeated the amateur clubs of New

In 1911 the Bank boys came
through with victory, but lost out
to the Maryland Athletic Club of
Baltimore in the big series. The
Bankers finished second, the Battle

beaten out in the play-off by Gus
Gray's Pepco ball club. Pepco, had

must be recalled that last year, the Sec
ond season the Pepco oulht was repre-
sented on the ball field, its team won the

diamond would be a good drawing card
in any circuit .r..
Gus Gray, who managed the champion
ship aggregation last season, will be in
charge of the 1914 outfit, IL a club is
organized. As several of the best ball
players in the District are employed at
the power plant, it will not be a hard
job for Manager Gray to recruit another
corxing good combination.
Jimmy Green, one of the best outfield-
ers around town, is employed at the
power company and will act as field cap
tain again If a team is organized. Harry
Kidwell, the crack finger of Petworth,
is also an employe, while O'Brien, the
Vigilants' receiver; Alec Gill, the fast
little shortstop; Little Mccarthy, and
Ted Sullivan are in line.
1t is said that Manager Gray will start
to work at once getting his club ready
for next season, and he is out to win the
championship again.
