FACING STATE TAX
Legislature Has Small Sum Outside
of Fixed Appropriations ns-A Hint
of Final Adjournment.

Just hint that preparations for
final adjournment are under way was
given in the house at Montpelier yes
terday when Redfield Proctor, chair
man of the committee on appropria-
tions made an urgent appeal for the
reporting of every bill carrying an
appropriation now before the lsgisla-
ture. However, it may have only
been a desire on the part of that COM
mittee to find how much money must
be appropriated and how large di-
rect state tax will be necessary to
provide funds to meet the immense
yearly expenses of the state. The
only adjournment definitely in sight
now however is adjournment from
Friday next until the following We'd
nesday afternoon to allow the MEM
bers to attend March meeting.
But about the state tax, Auditor
Graham and Tax Commissioner
Plumley have presented to the gov
ernor a statement showing the in
come and expenditures of the state
for the years 1912, 1913 and 1914,
also the appropriations that will con-
tinue in force after July 1, 1915
unless changed by the present legis-
lature.
If the continuing appropriations
amounting to $739, ,417.02 are add
ed to the special appropriations
which have not yet been fully paid,
which amount to $35, 500 and to

Boy and Woman Injured

Nathan, son of DR.. and Mrs. w. G..
Kicker will be confined to the house
for five or six weeks as the result
of breaking his right leg Saturday.
He was sitting on the fence with his
skates on and someone pushed him
off. His skates prevented his saw
ing himself at all and he caught his
leg in the fence but not until next
morning was it found that a bone
was broken. 1t is a simple fracture
and he is doing well.
Mrs. John Swanson was so unfor-
tunate Monday as to slip on tie ice
in her back yard and break her left
wrist. She also bruised her hip so
badly that she is confined to the bed
and very uncomfortable. Today the
doctors will try x ray to determine
the nature of the hurt to the hip al
though the doctors feel quite con-
fdent it is not broken.

SIMPLER PROCEDURE
Special Commission Favors A Law
That Will Expedite Justice and
Avoid TechnicaIities.

Justice George M. Powers, Judge
Frank l.. Fish and Judge Harland B.
Howe, special commissioners appoint
ed by Gov. Gates to examine the
statutes and suggest changes there
in to simplify and improve court
practice and procedure, are work
ing on their report and hope to get
it before the legislature late this
week. The report is now in the
hands of a stenographer and after
consideration by the full commission
will be submitted to a committee of
the Vermont Bar Association, then
revised if necessary and reported to
the governor.
While the details may be changed
somewhat the general plan of the re-
port will provide that the forms of
civil action shall be contract, tort,
repIeVin and ejectment. Pleadings
will be materially simplitied by max
ing a complaint which shall set forth
in brief and simple language the
facts relied upon and relief demand
ed. The answer shall either be a
denial of all or part of the allega-
tions or a brief and simple statement
of the facts relied upon for de-
fence. A demurrer must distinctly
specify the reason why the pleading
demurred to is insufficient.
No pleading shall be rejected on
account of form but may be amended
in form at any stage of the proceed
ings if the fault is pointed out.
The supreme court before review
ing any case shall have a certified
Of fhn nnfiTn testimony and
Judges charge, the offers and objec-
tions made, the rulings of the court,
etc. But the parties in the suit with
the approval of the presiding Judge
may agree upon an abridgement of
such transcript as a sufficient
No judgment shall be reversed or
new trial granted in any civil or
criminal case unless the supreme
court shall find that the error has
injuriouSly affected the substantial
rights of the parties.
The commission would allow any
number of causes of action to be
joined in one action, pleadings
amended in matters of substance and
allow an amendment in an action Of
law into a court of equity or from a
court of equity to a court of law and
transferred to such court at any stage
of the proceedings.
The justices of the supreme court
and the superior judges are to make
and promulgate rules to carry the
provisions recommended into effect.
The commission is expected to sug-
gest the amendments of present law
necessary and a bill providing the
changes necessary to put their rec
concentrations into effect.

RIVER RAINFALL STATION
Records of the Passumpsic to be Kept
By the Museum.

The weather bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture
through it's section center at Hart
ford, Conn.-has just made St.
Johnsbury one of its river rainfall
stations on the Connecticut river wa
tershed. The records are to be made
at the Fairbanks Museum, which has
been one of the observers for the
United States Chronological Survey
since 1894.
The purpose of the rain fall sta
tions is to "give warning of the ap-
proach, magnitude and duration Of
high waters-in the interests of nav
igation on inland waterways of
value to those concerned with the
problems of irrigation and water sup
ply" At present records are to be
made here only of the amount of
rain or snowfall, the wind direction
and character of the weather. By
another year it is expected that a
river gage will be placed in the Pas
sumpsic River so that accurate rec
ords of the rise or fall of the river
may be made.

NEW ENGLAND STATE LECTURE
Successful Conference of Grange
Leaders.

NEW ENOAANO SIAIE LECIOfSE
Successful Conference of Grange
Leaders.
At a recent meeting of state
grange lecturers held in Boston, all
of the New England states were rep
resented, also New Jersey. Those in
attendance were G. o. Purington OF
Maine, T. G. Varney, New Hamp-
shire; E. H. Hallett, Vermont; Mrs.
George S. Ladd, Massachusetts,; L. S.
Steers, Rhode Island, and F. E.
Blackman, Connecticut. Also, G. w.
F. Grant, national lecturer of New
Jersey and Miss E. l.. Allison from
New Jersey, state lecturer. Two ses-
sions were held. Each state lecturer
gave a report of the work being done.
The seven lecturers represented a
total membership of 17,700. Many
suggestions were made for future
work, all feeling that there can be
better work done if we all work along
the same line. Lecturers of all
states are urged to get from the
members all the original and prac-
tical work possible, hold as many
district lecture conferences as pos
sible, open the meetings on time,
work every member in the grange.

ing, short one especially when
the first and second degrees are con-
ferred. Cooperative buying was dis
cussed and advised when thought
practical but do not involve the sub
ordinate grange itself, that is, do not
make the grange responsible. Many
other things were brought up that
will come later to the subordinate
oranges. National Lecturer Gaunt
said he was glad to come to New
England for he felt he was getting
many new suggestions in grange
work. He is to spend one week in
as many of the different grange
states as possible this year. By in
vitation of New Hampshire College
of Agriculture, a midsummer meet
ing will be held in Durham, N. H.,
Aug. 3 and 4, to which all subordi-

tractive manner at the lunch room
each day so long as it's patronage by
the children warrants the efforts. If
more kinds of food are called for,
they may perhaps be supplied also.
The lunch movement has passed
the experimental stage and become a
recognized part of the modern school
system. So long ago as 1890 Count
Rumford started the school lunch in
Munich. Now the legislatures of six
different countries provide for lunch
cons for school children-Germany,
France, England, Switzerland, Hol-
land and Denmark. In the United
States in 1855 the movement was
started as a purely charitable work.
In 1900 many large cities had taken
up the work under the school direc-
tion. Now 80 cities in 5 states give
free lunches to the children, and most
frst-class schools have some arrange
ment for providing warm food for
children who live at a distance and
must miss their warm dinner at noon.

LUNCHES AT UNION SCHOOL
Woman's Club to Serve Soup at Nom
inal Price.

This year a very important expe-
riment has been tried at the Sum-
mer street school from the domestic
science room. One day a week soup
with crackers has been served at the
nominal sum of three cents bowl
for those who bring cold lunches
from home and stay all day at school.
Owing to the many duties of the
teacher Of cooking, it seemed impos-
sible to continue this plan. The ed
ucation committee of the Woman's
Club has come to the rescue of the
children and desires if possible to
have soup served every day of the
week instead of one day and for a
still lower sum, so that all children
who desire and need the warm, nour-
ishing food can have it. The COM
mittee has secured the services of
Miss Gasken to prepare and serve
the lunch. Her training and experi-
ence viii make it possible to give the
most nourishing dish served in an at
