The question of changing the time OF
holding Names election from September
to November viii come up for discussion
in the house Of representatives of that
state tomorrow. The arguments for and
against the proposition are about the same
as those that were advanced in Vermont.
Proponents of the measure claim that the
change viii save the state something like
$4,000 every two years and that the
later date will be far more convenient for
farmers and fishermen. Opponents con
tend that the state gets good advertising
from the September election and that
state matters are given more consideration
when they come up at a separate time.
When everything is considered however,
the preponderance Of argument seems to
favor the change, and the chances are that
Maine will follow Vermont's example.

1t IS evident from what the state pa
pers are saying that Vermonters are any
thing but pleased at the raid on the
treasury made by the clerks. sweepers
and other attaches of the last legislature,
Attempts to excuse the exorbtant sums
that were paid these employees have not
served to abate popular indignation a par
ticle, and if matters of this kind We're not
so quickly forgotten it would be safe to
say that few men would be elected to the
general assembly Of 1914 without promis-
ing to do all in their power to prevent a
repetition of the scandal. The newspapers
of the state can do much toward keeping
the public memory fresh in this re
gard. Let us all remember the matter and
make point to speak Of it at regular in
tervals

\ correspondent suggests that under
the new tax law an open book account
is taxable, but if the merchant can
get his customer to give a note at five
per cent before April [ it will not
be taxable. 1t does draw rather haro
on merchants who convenience custom
ers by giving them credit to have to
pay taxes on amounts thus due, and
also be unable to offset what they
themselves may owe. Probably they
win adjust themselves in ways like
that above suggested and otherwise
after short experience with the new
law.

The Raid of 1913.

(St- AlDanS Messenger
From the steady stream of complaint
that is being poured out of every
editorial office in Vermont, it is very
evident that the legislative practice
of loosening the purse strings of the
state treasury to pay salaries, not only
to those who are connected with the
state legislature, but also those out
side of it, and such salaries as no one
has a right to expect; it is very evil
dent that this practice has gone so
far as to exasperate the people. The
raid on the state treasury, as it has
been very properly termed by the
Rutland Herald, disgusts people, to
put it plainly. No representative, no
senator, no matter how much good
work he may have done in the legis-
lature, did his full duty or measured
up to the full standard that one has
a right to expect of public servants,
if he sanctioned the disgraceful "raid

basket,
Woven OF willow and sinew Of
Rocked by the breezes and nursed
by the pine tree,
Wonderful things are TO see and to hear.
Wide is the sky from the top of the noun
Sheltered the canyon from glare of the
sun;
Ere she is wearied of watching their
changes
Little Light Moccasin finds she can run.
Brown is her skin as the bark of the
birches,
Light are her feet as the feet Of the
fawn;
Shy little daughter of mesa and mountain.
Little Light Moccssin wakes with the
dawn.
All the rare treasures of summer time

These are the playthings the little maid
knows;
Berry time. blossom time, bird calls and
butterflies,
Columbine trumpets and sweetbriar rose.
When on the mesa the meadow lark.

Hearing the boot of the owlets at twi-

Watching the flames of the campfire

Hearing the song of the wind in the pine

Lost Identity.
Woodstock Spirit of Age.

Woodstock Spirit of Age)
After more than century of Sep
TENDER elections Vermont voters have
decided to sink the identity of the
state in the November maeIstrom.
When the people realize that this
means special session of the present
legislature to revise the laws to fit the
new date, hear the howl 90 up Ben
nington Banner.
Vermont may sink her identity I'M
der the new dispensation, but if the
September election has been her only
claim to distinction let's hope that the
state will grow and otherwise compel
the attention and interest of the out
side world. And in the long run Yer
mont will save money by the change.

In % weeks not one parent paid
visit to EnoSburgh high school. We dare
say the record, bad as it is, has been
equalled in many another community.
The people seem to think everything
is going we'll enough in the schools,
and that their interest, as evidenced
by their visitation, is not needed as
an encouragement to teachers and
school commissioners. Perhaps every
thing is going along as well as pos
sible under the circumstances, but the
encouragement which the interest OF
the parents in school might bring
would have tendency to make the
work 90 little better.
