Children and Rifles

A gun in the hands of a 11-year.old
Poultney boy caused the instant
death Monday Of a nlne-year-old play
mate. The shooting was purely
accidental and no legal steps are to
be taken, yet someone is criminally
responsible for the tragedy. How
long will children be allowed access
to weapons which are dangerous
in the hands of those of mature
years? In spite OF the fact that
there is an ordinance against the use
of firearms in the village of Bratue-
boro youngsters are frequently seen
and more frequently heard shooting
them. The practice is one that
should be stopped Immediately. Par.
ents who are foolish enough to let
their boys have rifles should at least
see to it that the weapons are not
used within the village limits.-Brat-

Government Regulation in Vermont


The question of the validity Of the
, law establishing public service
commission In Vermont and clothing
| that body with broad powers has
been brought to the front on divers
and sundry occasions in the recent
past. Some time ago questions arose
| in effect whether the commission was
legislative body, an executive or
ganization, or judicial tribunal, or
all three, or some two of the three in
one, and thus far the twilight zone
Of uncertainty as to the exacs sta
tus OF that body has not been materi-
ally abridged. Somewhat later anoth
er issue was brought to the front In
the Vergennes case which tended TO
show that the federal Jurisdiction
might seriously overlap that of the
State of Vermont with reference TO
any Improvement ordered, and thus
add to the number of question marks
standing after legislation for the
state regulation Of our public service
corporations.
Under these circumstances it has
been fundamentally necessary that
the atmosphere should be cleared in
order that we rs Il people might
know whether we have any branch OF
our representative rule which can
carry out the principle Of govern.
ment regulation of public service cor
porations within cur borders, or
whether we must begin all over
again.
When our supreme courts divide rs
rule On most questions OF this char
acter it might be deemed futile TO try
to secure the ultimate determination
Of any Issue involving our public serv
ice, and yet in this direction as in
nest others we have to proceed on
the supposition aud the theory that
the majority rule and govern our
selve accordingly.
VIC arc not always convinced even
though the Supreme Courl Of the
United States, which IS our court Of
last resort, decides any question, and
il has long been desirable that the
Supreme Court Of Vermont should de
eide, even though II might divide, as
TO whether we have body .hat can
regulate public service corporations.
1t is fortunate, therefore, that the
New England Telephone company
has decided to appeal from the order
of the public service commission or
dering a reduction OF SO a year In Ger
tain rates, for while the sum at issue
Is not large, the fundamental princi-
pie involved is far-reaching So Ear
rs the merits of this particular case
are concerned the matter may now be
considered rs with the court, as
will be the larger question Of jurls-
diction END authority under the con
stitution.
Whether in this direction IS in so
many others the people must except
ultimately to appeal to federal author
ity rather than to any state tribunal
is q question which completely over
shadows any temporary issue as to
the particular price charged for any
special class Of telephone service,
and one which ought to be cleared
up TO no small degree as result OF
the present proceedings,-Bu Burlington

against woman suffrage resolution

rather surprising as we should have
guessed that one or both of them
would support it. Woman suffrage
Is one OF those things that is surel,'
coming. Its opponents may be able
to staye it off for few years in
some states, but that is all In the
