A CURIOUS LEGISLATIVE SITUATION
CNrnm the Boston Herald.l

The voters of Massachusetts, send sell
ected citizens to the Legislature to pass
on questions of state administration, and
they do this after a d~eliberation equalled
in no other State. The same voters also
elect a governor. The Legislature passes
a series of measures. The governor We
toes them, The Legislature passes some
of these over his veto, while in other in
stances the executive opposition suiilces'
And the public Enthusiastically sympathizes
with the governor OF the State, just as 1t
does in similar controversies with the
president Of the nation. Particularly is
this true where the zone fearless man
seems to be struggling against the wles
Of a great corporation, or the massing or
special interests like those conventionally
behind a tariff bill. There is no mistak-
ing to-day the popular sympathy behind
Woodrow Wilson'S pursuit of the lobby,
small as have been the plckings that
have come from the inquiry.
The Herald confesses to sympathy with
most of Mr., Foss's vetoes. it thinks he
is right in his opposition to the western
trolley bill, which the Legislature In both
branches over-rode yesterday. The re-
port of the chamber of commerce, made
with painstaking study, advised against
the New HaVen's utilization of its too
scanty funds In this way. and there are
besides strong arguments of an anti
monopoly sort against encouraging this
sort OF railroad development. And sull 1t
is perhaps illogical to urge the railroads
to electrify, and to deplore their not
building more branch ines for the greater
service of the public, and then to refuse
them the right to accomplish the two
purposes at once by building electric
feeders. This is doubtless the argument
which influences the interior counties In
favor Of the western trolley bill. They
wan the conveniences, and not being able
to get them by the independent invest
ment of capital. are willing to swallow
their dislike of monopoly in securing that
result.
The State as such may we'll be more
cautious, And Mr.. Foss did his duty ir
saying so.
