Rights
State House. Jan. Z.

State House, Jan. 7.
With the opening of the House this
morning House bill 400 was taken up
This is a measure relating to the punish
ment for murder. The bill came from
committee with majority report of five
members recommending that the meas
ure ought not to pass. There also was
a report signed by four members urging
the passage OF the bill.
The bill provides for death penalty
for first degree murder and life int
prisonment for murder in the second de-
gree. Mr.. Wright of Westminster made
one Of the strongest speeches of the ses-
sion when he spoke about ten minutes
in support of the bin. He quoted fig
ures to show that the abolition OF the
death penalty in various states has re-
suited in an increase of crime.
Mr.. Cook Of Lyndon opposed the bill
on the ground that the option allows
jurymen to decide between first and see
ond degree murder. This option, he
thought, would result in weakening the
Hulett of Rutland City favored the
minority report.
Mr.. Adams Of Marlboro favored the
bill, and Mr.. Taft of Townsbend took
the same stand while Mr. Locke OF Bar
ton and MIR Adams OF Chelsea favored
the minority report or. in other words,
the passage of the bill Mr.. jose of
supported the minority report.
Then followed a long debate with brief
Mr.. Martin OF Bennington,
Mr.. Comings OF Richford opposing the
measure. and Mr.. Ware Of Wilmington,
Mr.. Blanchard Of West Windsor. Mr..
Chesley OF Sheffield favoring the bill.
On yea and nay vote, the bill was
ordered to third reading the vote
lS0 to ~. This bill proposes
q restore the capital punishment law
where it was before the revision IN 1910 1
shen the jury was given authority to
Jay whether punishment for first degree
murder shoHld be death.

ITS LEGALITY
SUSTAINED
Vermont Public Service
Commission INDICATED
To-day
BY DIVIDED OPINION
OF SUPREME COURT
Vigorous Dissenting Opin-
ion Read by Judge
Powers

BY divided court--three to two-the
| legality Of the Vermont public service
commission was established in an opin-
/ ion handed down in the Vermont
supreme court at Montpelier to-day, the
opinion adding a very important chap
| ter to the railroad history OF the state.
Judge Seneca Hazelton read the ma
jority opinion, and Judge George NJ.
Powers read the dissenting opinion,
reached by himself and Judge John H.,
Watson.
The case grew out of the appeal Of
the Rutland railroad on the order of the
public service commission in the case OF
Sabre ct al vs.. Rutland railroad in
Grand Isle county. The commission or.
dered the placing OF a nagman at a
crossing in Alburg, and the Rutland
railroad entered an appeal from the Or
der, declaring that the public service
commission was an illegal board and was
exercising unconstitutional powers, adj
ministrative, judicial and legislative.
The majority opinion of the court,
subscribed to by Judges IIaselton, john
w. Rowell and Loveland Munson, as
serts that the commission has certain
administrative powers, is clothed with
quasijudicial powers but is not a court;
that it has auxiliary legislative powers
but not in violation of the constitution
but general to make the government ef
fcient.
The dissenting opinion Of Judges
Powers and Watson is an exhaustive
document. calling attention in particu
lar TO comparison between the Ner-
mont public service commission and the
L. $. interstate commerce commission |
and that in the decision of the latter |
they did not have legislative powers.
The opinion declared that legislative
cannot be changed but always /
must remain the same. If the pow
ers could be conferred on the public
service commission, the same powers
,ouid be conferred on the state
board of health the state board OF
the cattle commission and
he horse doctors. The commission. II
leld, was being invested with powers of
he supreme court itself.
The reading OF these two opinions oc.
upied the entire time Of the forenoon
ession of the court. The result is of
,reat Importance because matters of
egislation have been held up at the
resent term OF the Legislature because
