Redemption of Pledges

The Legislature didn't carry out all the
pledges contained in the platforms of the
several parties, or of any one of them, but
it did so much better thanits predecessors
have done that its few lapses NAV be
almost overlooked. 1t enacted tax law
designed to do away with double taxa
ton, equalize burdens and give individual
lenders as good a chance as the banks.
1t didn't pass a primary law, but pro-
vided for straw vote" on the question
in March, 1914, to test sentiment as to
the kind of system wanted. 1t failed to
give US campaign publicity law. 1t en-
acted more progressive legislation de-
manded by labor than any other session
has recorded, including state inspection
of factories, board of Cancellation for
labor disputes, wage exemption from
trustee process, and almost passed a COM
pulsory compensation law in advance
of constitutional auth 0rity. 1t did much
for advanced reformatory methods. and
only a pocket veto stopped big deten-
ton farm appropriation. The public
school funds are redistributed on a more
equable basis and an portant readiust-
ment of the whole educational system
made. Highway improvement got a big
boost, in money and perfected methods.
Nothing practical was omitted to pro-
mote agriculture, in almost every direc-
ton. Forest interests received due atten-
ton and encouragement. The hands OF
the publicity department were strength
ened, and by careful watching allnatural
resour 'es were conserved. A mammoth
plan OF state development all butcarried
Substantially all the pending amendments
to the state constitution were approved
and passed on to the people. In addition
the federal amendments relating to the
in,ome tax and popular election of sena-
tors finally prevailed. Thus were most
OF the party pledges redeemed in a man
ner creditable to those entrusted with
their keeping. - Randolph Herald and

Elsewhere in an article from the Ben
nington Banner the suggestion is made
that the best way to get good work from
legislature is to send good men back.
This is as true as gospel The mistake
that many towns make is sending a new
man every session. No matter howgood
a man may be it takes fully one session
for him to get acquainted with legisla-
tive methods and he is better fitted for
work at the close of the session than
when he began A look at the towns
that send a man more than once strongly
bears out this assertion. Take for in
the Republican and Democratic parties
united and sent Mr.. Watson, a man who
had served one term in that body. His
record this year showed what a man OF
experience can do. Then again, there is
Rev. Mr. Miller Of Bethel He was given
a third election last fall, and he too, by
experience and acquaintance with the
"whys and wherefores" proved a valua-
BILE member. There are others" who
have shown that experience has made
them better members than a green mem
Der could be. There is no doubt that
great mistake is made in not making a
wise selection and then keeping the man
there for a number of terms The towns
would be the better for it, even if there
would be sorrow among individuals
who want the job, and in many cases
individuals wholly unfit to berepresenta-
tives, not so much because of their in
tegrity, but because they are not cut out
for that kind of work.
