MINORITY RULE

Do party pledges mean anything? Is
of any value? Shall the ma
jority rule? Is it the duty of legislators
to grant the overwhelming demand of the
people as expressed by their votes? Let
the legislators who killed the direct pri-
mary law at Montpelier yesterday answer
these questions. The legislature of 1912
and ducked the issue by giving voters the
right to express their preference. The re
suit showed a sentiment of almost three to
one in favor of a direct primary law as
opposed to the old caucus system or a
preferential primary. The house of rep
resentatives passed the direct primary to
a third reading 1T2 to IS, but on final
passage killed the measure 10 to 102.
This reversal is so great as to arouse
questionings as to the influences brought
TO bear upon the legislators, or the reason
for the wonderful change of heart over
night.
Regardless of the merits or dement's OF
the primary law itself the final action OF
! the measure is the most discouraging thing
that has happened in Vermont IN years

Staggering Figures.
Rutland Heraldl

The bill for the support of the state
government, introduced into the gen
eral assembly Tuesday by Redfield
Proctor, should give immediate pause
to Legislators inclined to heed the APP
peals of special interests for in
creased and special appropriations.
The figures are as follows:

Actually spent, more than $4,000.
1t is evident, therefore, that Mr..
Proctor's committee appropriations
is endeavoring to hold the Overhead =
cost Of state government if possible
within the general figures of the past
two years. 1t is when the special APP
preparations are approached that the
taxpayer quakes.
In addition to the foregoing, ap-
preparations in 1912 included the fol
lowing:

Unless a decided cut is made, there
fore, the present legislature is faced
by the probable certainty of appropri-
ations totalling over 1881 900, in adj
dition to school and highway costs,
representing perhaps another mil
lion.
Vermont seems to have dropped
comfortably and finally into the 81 ,0O0,-
600 class, with a state tax imminent
of 10 per cent if not more. The fore
going, by the way, is roughly drawn

The MeddIer
II the coat fits you, pat It on"

1t is evident that there is to be de-
termined opposition at next week s
special town meeting against the
proposition to increase the number of
listers from three to five. Those who
believe that the work can be done by
the smaller number have written to
other towns and cities in the state to
find out the practice in those places,
and put up the claim that if Rutland
and burlington can get along with
three listers Brattleboro ought to be
able to do the same thing. The arti-
cles in the warrant relative to put
ting the town clerk on salary and
having him write the grand list are
inspired by those who favor the three
listers plan with view to having
the clerk help the listers in their
work

Let those who are struggling with the
worthy problem of supplying Brattleboro
with league baseball next summer bear
these facts in mind: % 1t is too much
to expect that the four-team league idea
viii make the sport self supporting; 90
1t Is too much to expect that pledges to
cover the deficit viii be forthcoming I'M
less the conduct of the league is deter
mined in advance definitely enough so
that the size of the deficit can be approx
mately foretold. Therefore, unless the d.
rectors of the local association already
have sources from which they can draw
funds to meet all probable needs they
should not join any league without posi-
tive knowledge that the question of sal
aries Is to be governed as it should be;
that is, through one honest, competent
fearless official with absolute authority to
make each club stick to its agreement no
matter what position in the race it may
be OCCUPYING. Only in some such way as
this can the cost of baseball be gauged
with any degree of accuracy. And unless
the cost can be gagged it will be extreme
y difficult to find many men who will be
willing to pledge themselves to meet their
share Of it.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-03-19

Now it is all very well to theorize
about the way the work of the listers
should be done, but of far more i'm
mediate Importance is the securing of
a legal grand list. 1t is probably true
that three listers could do the work
that heretofore has been done by five.
but it is certain that the three who
now compose the board could not ac-
complish the task within the time re-
quired by law, and so long as that is
the ease it is folly to advance the
argument that they ought to be able
10 do it. What ought to have been
done and what actually was done are
frequently two very different things.
II there is sincere feeling among
townspeople that the listers board
should be reduced then let those who
favor the idea go about putting the
plan into operation in manner that
will not endangcr the right of the
town to collect money for running ex-
penses. Nothing viii be accomplished
by throwing additional work on off
cials who frankly state that they
cannot do it. s.. ...s

ON RUSSlA'S MIGHTY RIVER
Empire owes Much to Historic Volga,
Which Plays Important Part In
Life Of Nation.

In Russia the rivers are large and
sluggish, owing to their great length
and slight fall. The Volga Is the long.
est river IN Europe. II is $500 miles
In length-that Is. three times as long
as the Rhine-yet It's total fall Is only
a little over eight hundred feet.
The peat bogs In the Valdai hills,
where II takes its rise. are only $50
feet above sea level, while Astrakhan,
at the mouth, Is G5 feet below the level
OF the sea.
The Russian fondly speaks and sings
Of II as "Matushka Volga," or Little
Mother Volga,' IN gratitude, no doubt
for the bountcous supply OF fish, caviar
and game. as well as comforts and
pleasures afforded By this historic
stream. which plays so important n
part In the economic life OF the ma.
ton.
The products OF Asia and Europe
are carried on It's waters; the two
thousand odd river steamers are al.
ways busy, and the huge RATS, consist.
ing often Of thousands of logs, being
floated or pulled down the stream. rep.
resent n small portion OF the riches of
Russla's i~nexhaustlble forest lands.
