SHORTER SESSIONS OF THE LEG
ISIATIRE,.

hI-
The people of Vermont have been
longing for shorter sessions of the
Legislature, and the longer the ses
sions have grown the shorter has been
the patience of the people.
This increasing Impotence on the
part Of our citizens with rapidly ex-
tending legislative sessions unques-
tionably accounts in part for the adop-
ton of the amendments to the State
constitution. While this factor en-
tered into the situation, the great ma
iority of the voters in all human prob
ability regarded the amendment pro-
viding for sessions of the Legislature
TO begin in January as the chief in
huence that would help to bring this
lbout.
one of the most effective measures
looking to shorter sessions of the
Legislature, however, is the amend =
ment adopted providing that mo char
ter of incorporation shall he granted,
extended, changed or amended by spe-
cial law, except for such municipal,
charitable, educational, penal, or re-
formatory corporations as are to be
AMI remain under the patronage or
control of the state; but the General
Assembly shall provide by general
laws for the organization of all cor
porations hereafter to be created. All
general laws passed pursuant to this
time or repealed"
This means that people desiring
charters for electric power plants or
electric roads, or savings banks or
trust companies and the long list of
projects that have occupied so large
q part of the time OF our legislators
tain requirements to be provided by
tho Legislature, and will not appear
before our lawmakers in any capacity
whatsoever. unless they desire to have
general law changed.
II will be difficult to have any gen.
erh law so formulated or modified as
TO favor any particular institution Mt
the expense OF others. Cor existing
concerns will naturally be alert TO
protect their own interests and guard
the avenues OF encroachment IN all
directions. With all parts OF the
State thus Interested no general law
ian be passed without the closest
)crutiny and the interests OF the peo-
pie will thus be carefully guarded.
The tendency to send men OF ability
TO the state Legislature as members
,f the third house" to promote the
passage Of special charters will thus
DE checked and the lobbyist will thus
find his occupation gone.
The most salutary effect of this ar
ticle of amendment, however will be
its influence in helping to shorten
Iessions of the Legislature through
The elimination OF efforts to induce
he lawmakers to incorporate all sorts
Il companies ami projects, With the
combined operation of this amend
nent ana that providing FOR sessions
n January 1t will be strange il SEES
sions continue later than April l. and
If this proves to be the case, Vermont
will return to the period of sessions
of not more than three months In
duration.

The RED CROSS SEAL
COMES FROM NORWAY
nTOW did the Red Cross Christmas
seal originator" is a question

"TTOW did the Red Cross Christmas
III seal originator" is a question
that is being asked by many
during this holiday season, when mil
lions of these stickers are being sold
all over the United States. To Jacob
Riis, the we'll known social worker of
New York, and to Miss Emily P Bis
sell, the energetic secretary Of the
Delaware Red Cross society, Jointly
belongs the honor of originating our
American Red Cross Christmas seal.
In 1909 Mr.. Riis' interest was arous-
ed by the receipt of Christmas tu-
berculosis stamp on letter from Nor
way. He published an article about
this queer looking stamp in the Out
look and suggested some possible uses
for 1t in this country. Miss Bissell at
once saw an opportunity here and pre-
pared stamp, from the sale Of which
her society realized $1,000 for tubercu-
los1s work. So impressed was she with
this success that she induced the
American Red Cross to take up the
sale in 1908 on a national basis.
With very little organization and
with hardly any attempt at careful ad-
Vertising, the sale that year brought
in over $4,000 for anti-tuberculosis
work in various parts of the United
States. In 1909. with more organiza-
ton. the sale was increased to $23O,OO
and in 1910 to nearly $4,000. Last
year the sale increased to $33O,OOO, or
33,OOO,OOO seals.
While our own Red Cross seal dates
back only four years. charity stamps
from which this idea originally sprang,
60 back to 1862, when sanitary fair
stamps we're first used in Boston to
raise money for the care of soldiers
wounded during the civil war. Nearly
100000 was raised in this way dur
ing the years 1862 to 1865.
After the war this method Of raising
money was discontinued in this coun-
try for generation, although it found
vogue in Portugal. Switzerland, Aus
tria, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway.
Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now hundreds
of different types Of charity stamps
used in all parts Of the world, as many
as forty being used in America for
children's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis cru
SADIE in Norway and Sweden in 1904.
