The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-02-19

The Reformer sincerely hopes that lay |
themselves in the agitation for simpler
legal procedure which has already been !
started in the legislature and promises to
increase before very long. 1t Is generally
understood that the commission appoint
ed by Governor Gates to look into this
question will recommend a number OF
radical changes changes which will be-
likely to revolutionize legal practice IN
this state if they are enacted into law.
These changes, it is understood, will tend
toward making legal technicaities of less
importance, and on this very account it
is to be expected that they will meet
with stiff opposition from lawyers who de
pend upon technicaities for keeping their
own cases on the docket and throwing off
those of their opponents. But this kind
| of law practice, it should be remembered,
| is Just the kind that makes litigation SO
tedious and expensive. Under the proceed
ure now in force in this state years may
be consumed in determining whether or
not case is brought i'll the form pre-
scribed by an ancient code, OF course the
determination of such d momentous ques-
tion is beneficial to the legal fraternity.
but it Is mighty costly thing for then
clients. The sooner our judiciary system
is SO changed that the merits OF ques
ton may be given the first consideration
the better it will be for Vermont The
really successful lawyers know this and
favor the change; the others are not en-
titled to very much consideration

Now that the woman suffrage bill has
passed the Vermont senate and bids fair
to have easy sailing through the house,
The Reformcr suggests to Mr.. Perry that
he relnquish further efforts to put through
his statewide prohibition measure. With
women voting on municipal affairs, the
vcs-or-no question will be settled SO quick
ly each March that there will be no doubt
as to the outcome. Statewide prohibition
will he a fact. and the need of any refer
endum on the question will have passed

But why afraid OF ii referendum? Can't
the people be trusted to settle their own
affairs? Bellows Falls Times,
We're not afraid of a referendum,
ucghbor, nor do we doubt the people 5
ability to settle their own affairs, but we
fail to see the use of going to the expense
of referendum on the liquor law when
the right of women to vote in municipal
elections will solve the whole problem
Whatever the outcome of the referendum
it is likely to result in more or less polit
cal strife over a question about which
there is not the slightest reason for hav
ing any disturbance. The important thing
is to curtail the liquor traffic; the methoC
is Of comparatively little Importance,

Senator Page of Vermont was dilating
ON the merits of that remarkable state at
IL meeting of the Vermont state associa-
ton at Washington the other evening and
he pointed with pride to the fact that
people live longer in the Green Mountain
state than in any other. As proof he
pointed out that: The oldest United
States ex-senator now living in the United
States is former Senator Edmunds Of Yer
mont, who at the age of ninety, Is practic-
ing law in New York city. The oldest for
mer governor now living IS former Gov
elnor Stewart of Vermont, who Is passing
quiet years in his home state. The oldest
Methodist minister in the United States
lived most Of his life in Vermont and re-
Gently died there at the age Of 105 years.

Judging by the enthusiasm that was
manifest at the annual Valley fair dinner
Wednesday the show of next fall prom
ises to be fully up to the high standard
of past years. even if the prospects in the
cattle department are not especially
bright Just at present. The occasion drew
out an unusually large number of direc-
tors and the after-dinner speeches were
exceptionally good. That Of John 5.
Lyon, Windham county boy now at the
head Of the Holyokc, Mass, chamber of
commerce, was particularly inspiring,
pointing out as it did the wonderful OPP
portunity that New England has to forge
ahead through better utilization of its
agricultural resources.

We are not personally acquainted with
d. F. Pollard OF Bellows Falls nor did
we ever hear him speak, but nevertheless
we conclude C) that he is a man OF
courage, (2) that he knows how to talk.
Our first conclusion is based on the in
formation that he began speech at a
recent meeting Of the Windsor board Of
trade when the gathering had been in
session until after midnight: our second ON
the fact that he managed to draw a round
OF applause at that unseemly hour.

senator's were talking about Morrills great
activity when he was well beyond the
four score mark Senator Vest of Mis-
who was one of the number, made
a remark widely circulated at the time,
to the effect that Morrill, would live for
ever and that it would be necessary to
shoot him on resurrection day. Vermont
is proud of its grand old men, but in re
cent years it has given much deserved rec
ognition to its young men.

The AIcdder hesitates to question the

office and yet he cannot help feeling that
senate bill Il. which would limit school
medical inspection to physicians, is aimed
particularly at BrattIehoro When the
incorporated district was getting ready to
have inspection in the public schools it
will be remembered that there was diff
ference Of opinion between the prudential
committee and DR. Holton of the state
board of health as to whether the law re-
quIrcd the work to be done by a physi-
elan. For reasons whose soundness have
since been demonstrated the committee
favored having the inspection done by a
competent nurse, and after taking legal
advice went ahead with their idea In the
face of the good results that have been
achieved through this system an effort is
now being made to change the law in con
formity with the state board of health s
idea. 1t is perhaps needless to discuss
further the advantages of being able to
have this work done as it Is being done
IN this town, although it may not be out

The report of Road Commissioner Walk
er seems to indicate that the highway de
partment was conducted in manner both
efficient and economical. To be sure, a
comparatively small amount was expended
for what might be termed permanent road
work, but the year was closed with a
comfortable balance on the right side.
This showing naturally brings up the ques-
ton when the town will make a start
toward permanently improving the bust
ness section of Main street. 1t certainly
must do something along this line before
very long or tourists will get an even poor
err impression of our highway policy than
they now have.

In view of the statement Of the oversecr
of the poor that there were many more
calls for help than last year due to hard
times and lack of employment for the
laboring classes it is interesting to note
the combined cost of the town farm and
the poor not at the farm was only
S5544.74 for the year Just closed as com
pared to $55S10} for the previous II
months. Whether this means that the
extra calls of the past year met with no
response or that they were for less money
although more in number The Mcdder
leaves it for someone else to figure out.
1t is probably true, however, the town S
policy in helping its needy has not been
materially altered. Otherwise we would

Perhaps The Meddler Is inclined to over
rate the advantages that would come from
a consolidation of town, village and school
governments, but he is continually noting
Instances where the present arrangement
seems to indicate a conflict of authority.
In fact, within the town organization it
self it is apparent that this trouble OK
lists. The selectmcn devote considerable
portion of their report to demonstrating
the economy Of buying a motor truck for
use in highway work. Without wishing to
dispute this argument The Meddler can
not help wondering why a question of this
nature should not be worthy of an opin-
ion from the road commissioner, who in
the natural course of events would have
more use for such d vehicle than any other
official. Then take article 10 of the war
rant for the annual town meeting, ITO
see if the town will instruct the select
men to build sidewalk along the east
side of Union HILL" etc. Why should the
! selectmen be instructed to do this work
and go to the trouble of submitting est
mates when sidewalk construction is
within the province of the road commits
sloner and indeed one of his important
duties: Judging by the quality of tn,
walks which Commissioner Walker built
last summer and fall he is fully capable
OF doing this kind of work, and The Med
dler believes it would be wise policy t
place in his hands whatever sidewalk con
struction is determined upon for the com
ing year, provided of course that he is re
elected.
