Tact ON THE WEBB BILL.

Now that President Taft has vetoed
the Webb bill prohibiting the transpor
tation of liquor into dry" states, it i
to be expected that countless maledic
tions will fall upon his head from those
who are devoted to the cause of tenn
perance, because the Webb measure was
really child of the dry" interests and
was urged forward by them very strong
" Nevertheless, there will be some
advocates of the measure who will APP
preciate the fact that President Taft
was not allied with the liquor inter-
ests in imposing his veto and that his
sole desire in the matter was to give
the stamp of executive approval to only
such bills as would stand the test of
constitutionality. After advice from le-
gal advisers both in his cabinet and out
side, President Taft came to the con-
clusion that the Webb measure would
not stand the test; and we feel quite
certain that such was the only actuat-
ing motive back of the executive veto
which was presented yesterday after
noon.

needs the church, he has but one clear,
stating his position. That is by regular

to church stands for an indispensable

absenteeism from church are kindred

CURRENT COMMENT
"A Rich Mans Measure"

One hears all kinds of versions just
how the new tax law will work out. One
well-to.do resident of this place stated
that it suited his case very nicely.
He has no business and most of his
money is invested in farm mortgages and
drawing six per cent. Under the new
law he reduces the rate OF interest to
five per cent. and goes scotfree so far
as taxes are concerned. The new law
helps the retired man, but it SO happens
this man has son, who has a large
mercantile business and he writes dad"
that the new law may put him out of
business. 1t would seem that what helps
one works very much to the disadvan-
tage of the other. Some agree that a
young man, who is borrowing. his farm
mortgaged, is to receive the benefit, Sc
curing money at five per cent. He is in
a way. but why should the man with the
money escape taxation and the young
fellow trying To pay for his farm or
home have to pay the rich mans taxes.
1t is distinctly rich mans measure.

ONE LEGISLATIVE REFORM.

Tn a brief summary of the legislativ
work just accomplished in Vermont, Sen
ator Hale X. Darling of Orange count,
refers specifically to the delay n get
ting bills before the legislature as on
great cause for the long drawn out ses
sion, and in his signed editorial article
in the Randolph Herald and News h
points out how this obstacle may BIZ
overcome in large part hereafter by iht
enactment of law creating permanent
department for the drafting and rev.,
sion of bills. The provisions of This
measure may have been overlooked b.
the general public of the state, and with
the indulgence of the Randolph contcm.
porary we shall reprint the brief state
ments of Senator Darling concerning
the law, as follows:
''Under this law, board of revisers
of bills will be in session at Montpelier
for about month before each session.
To these revisers the members elect can
send their proposed bills before the ses-
sion actually begins, SO that as soon as
the bodies are organized and the com
mittees appointed, it is fair to suppose
that several hundred bills will be ready
for consideration and action. The time
for the introduction Of bills after SEES
sion begins may hereafter be limited to
two or three weeks.
at is but just to state that this new
law was not the production of a mem
Der of the legal profession, but was
drafted and championed by the Rev.
Mr.. Hewitt, the able and useful member
from Plainfeld."
Those who have followed the course
of this legislature and, Others will be
ready to agree with Senator Darling
that the delay in introducing bills is
tremendous handicap to prompt com
pIetion of the normal business of a.
legislative session. As late as a week
before the legislature adjourned sine die.
bills were being introduced in consider
able number; and there it was four or
FIVE months after the opening of tho
session. And, moreover, the practice
continued even beyond that time and
twenty four and forty-eight hours be-
fore the gavels finally fell few bills
were introduced. How is a legislature
to be expected to complete its work III
there is no hard and fast time limit for
the introduction of bills? Manifestly, /
Il is not possible unless the members
ruthlessly wedge a way through as they
have been accustomed to do, necessarily
overlooking the good and the bad fea
lures of a great many measures.
Therefore, in order to do the work de-
Gently and in order, it is absolutely es-
sential that reform be instituted in
the manner of presenting measures be-
fore the general assembly. This re-
form can come about only by fixing
set rule and abiding by il. naming q
date beyond which none but committee
measures shall be introduced. This will
prod the individual members TO get their
measures into shape early aud have them
before the assembly early. Possibly this
