LEADERS nv
HARMONY
United States Making Progress
In Restoration Of Peace
In Mexico.

Washington, July Is. Official ad
vices today revealed that the Wash
ington administration was meeting
with success in bringing Provisiona
President Csrbajal. General Carran
"a. General Villa and General Emil
ano Zapata into harmony for the re,
storation oe peace in Mexico.
From these four leaders repre-
senting all the factors concerned in
the establishment of stable govern.
ment-came encouraging messages
in answer to the counsel and advice
which the United States had been
lending to smooth the way to a CON-
plete agreement.
General Zapata promised to CO.
operate with the constitutionalists in
the work of pacification. Two emf
saries from General Carranza to Cen
eral Zapata are due in Vera Cruz to-
morrow, and will explain to Zapata
the concessions and reforms planned
by Carranza. Officials were con-
fdent an amicable understanding
would be reached, and did not at
tribute any significance to the activ-
ity of the rowing Zapatista bands
near Mexico City.
General Carranza, through the
American consuls accompanying him
sent renewed assurances of his friend
illness for the United States, and in
Dictated he would make satisfactory
arrangements concerning the amnes-
ty and guarantees desired by the
Carbajal government. Carranza ar
rived at Tampico today. While there
he will meet Reginaldo Cepeda, his
intimate friend, who has been au-
thorized by Provisional President
Carbajal to make preliminary ar
rangements for the transfer of the
government to the constitutionalists.
While General Carranza is ready
to grant an amnesty and give guar
antees to those who have opposed
the constitutionalists, persons GRIM
inally responsible for the assassina-
ton of Madero and Suarez will'not
be given immunity. AS most of the
guilty have fled the country, the Car
bajal government is not disposed to
object to such exceptions, especially
as it is intended to prosecute them
through the courts.

y ERMONT LEGISLATION
From the Windsor journal.


the daily and weekly papers OF this
state are agreed that the next Legislature
Of Vermont should somehow be brought to
full stop before it goes TO the ridiculous
and expensive extremes of the session Of
1872
Some papers advocate a time limit Ca
dO-day limit being much in favor, while
others are strong for compensation limit
for the entire session.

told, now impose some limit on their law

ger, replying to the Rutland Herald

no such objections to the time limits as

LENGTH OF SESSIONS.
CFrom the ST. Adams MESSENGER

>
Possibly room will have to be made
for the st. Adams Messenger in the Co
day-session club. II now takes the In
controvertible position, based on its own
figures that 1t Is absurd for Vermont to
Jog along under an unlimited session ar
rangement when every other State in the
Union limits legislative tenure either by
fixed salary or time limit. There can
hardly be any argument against this po-
sition. Rutland Herald.
This isn't exactly right. While the Mes
senger does say that the Legislative stu
alton in Vermont Is absurd II did not
base his absurdity on the ground that
there was an unlimited session in the
sense that an arbitrary limit Is lacking.
What makes the Legislative situation in
Vermont absurd? Some of the reasons
may be summed W as follows:
a Legislature OF over 80 members
number far in excess of what the State
requires for efficient lawmaking or for
correct political representation. but which
means great overhead charge at the
very start, for more men than are re-
CURED draw their salaries from the
State treasury.
and care by the electorate in select
ing their representatives Men are very
seldom returned to Montpelier which
means that each Legislature Is for the
greater part green" which further
means that these men have to be edr-
Gated at the States expense at so much
a day,
Lack Of appreciation on the part of
members Of the Legislature of their real
duties and the real obligations they owe
to the electorate, as evidenced by the in
Producing OF foolish and trivial bills of
which there Is no necessity, and the de-
sire on the part of too many members 20
make a record" by addressing their fell
low lawmakers on points OF no impor-
lance, and on important matters their
views on which, generally speaking. are
not worth expressing. and certainly are
not worth expressing when il costs IN
the vicinity OF $500 an hour to make
them known.
The passing Of private or local legisla.
ton. which occupies the greater share
of the attention OF most Legislatures.
There should be passed n general cor
poration bin which would do away with
