(From the Rutland News

Governor Allen NJ Fletcher delivered
| himself of ?. pretty straight talk on some
Vermont affairs and conditions at the
joint dinner OF the two Vermont State
postal employees associations in this city
Saturday night. With much of his opin-
ion there will be general concurrence.
With some of his Views there will doubt
less be disa greement.
The mounting cost Of the adminstra-
ton of justice in this State is fairly stag
gering The Governor hits the keynote
of the situation when he states that the
people of Vermont, as everywhere, are
complaining of court expenses and that
| they are demanding simple, practical,
workable judiciary system that will pro-
| vide for every man. rich or poor. a short
cut to justice Our system at present
! is indeed cumbersome and expensive. 1t
has not accomplished what was con-
| templated.
AS to the abolition of the office of at
torney general, there will be divergence
| of opinion. Certainly, IL the expense Of
| this department is to continue 10 increase
with its expenditure OF thousands of dol
| lar each month for the employment of pri-
| vate detective service, outside of our own
| constabulary and shrievalty. there will
be we'll nigh unanimity in the belief that
| the attorney general should go, However,
| il is believed that if this official applied
| himself to the duties of his Office as
| contemplated when 1t was establish
| ed, he would be most useful and a
| means of actual economy in the dis
| pensation Of justice and the prose-
cution of court cases The fact remains
| that the Office has not been the efficient
| and economical one that its supporters
! expected ii to be.
A short cut to Justice the people should
have. As a means to this the enlarge
| ment of the jurisdiction of the municipal
court would be step. The Governor Ia
right in advocating such enlargement
| and In his position that there should be
no appeal from these local magistrates
| to higher courts except on questions of
| law
Governor Fletcher stoutly defends the
| large Legislature, the House of Repre-
sentatves of 24S members, on the
| familiar ground that there Is safety
| In numbers" Even so, the Governors
contention Is not tenable or reasonable,
because he makes no account Of the fact
| that the members of the House of Repre-
sentatives are elected on geographical.
instead OF population. basis.
The number Of people should deter
mine representation in our law-making
body, rather than acreage. If it is right
that the town OF Baltimore, for instance,
\ with its dozen voters, more or less.
| should have a representative In the
| Legisla ture, 1t is inherently right that
| every town and city should have a
proportionate representation. In other
words, If a dozen voters living in the
town of Baltimore have one vote In the
House of Representatives then every
dozen voters in the city of Rutland
should be equally represented Any
other basis Is unfair
