let me say that the highway
department has for several years recog-
nized the need of this road, and has been
year by year doing what it could with the
limited funds available to improve the
road. and last year with a fair-sized sum
of surplus money the road in Searsburg
was improved as we all witnessed who
drove over the route last Thursday Mr.
Bates has had this matter in mind, and
has already spent some money, and is
spending more this fall on that same route
to accomplish what you desire. | have no
doubt but that he will do all that possibly
can be done to improve the road so far as
present funds are available, and no doubt
another year will see a marked improve
ment in the town Of Searsburg, as we'll as
in the other towns that are more able to
help themselves He will speak for him
self, and / hope that he may be able to
be at your meeting of the two boards of
trade when you get together. | think this
will be an exceptionally good idea, and
then you can talk this matter over togeth-
er, and get a better understanding of the
real conditions that we are working under
in the state department than you other
wise could.
/ appreciate very much the privilege you
gave me III accompanying you on TINS Trip
and assure you that my interest in roads
in Vermont has not abated in the least
and shall at any time be glad to do any
thing possibly can to help in the develop
ment that we are all so much interested
in.
Again thanking you, and through you

The committee charged With
raising funds for South Dakota
exhibit at the San Francisco expo
sition is now making an appeal to
tue schools. They are sending out
buttons and souvenir pins to school
teachers to sell. After selling them
the teacher will be entitled to one
guess on the number of paid ad-
missions to the exposition March
3Oth, and the one coming the clos.
est will be given a free trip to the
exposition. Two sessions of the
legislature have refused to maze
any appropriation for that purpose,
business men have refused private
| contributions, and it appears very
plain that the sentiment of the
| state is that the returns from such
an outlay would not be commen-
surate with the expense. An en-
terprise of this kind that has to
depend on the pennies OF school
children for support certainly is
not very popular and had better be
put into the discard. There will
doubtless BIZ many private exhibits
made from this state, but an effort
to get up a penny exhibit in the
name of the state can not result il
anythipg oreditable to as.

Some Of the newspaper boys are
usurping the functions Of the su-
preme court in passing judgment
upon the legality Of the Legislative
act in declaring the new primary
law an emergency act and putting
it in force at once. The trouble
seems to be that there are two
clauses in the consti tuition govern
ing this proceeding, which seem to
conflict, and only one il referred
TO in the discussions. Sec. % of
Art. III of the constitution pro-
vides that laws shall go into effect
ninety days after adjournment of
the legislature
"unless in case of emergency TO
be expressed in the preamble or
body of the act) the legislature
shall, by a vote of two. thirds of
all the members elected of each
house, otherwise declare. .
From this it would appear that
the Legislature may, by two-thi de-
vote, declare an emergency on any
bill and put it into force immedi-
ately after passage. In 1897 the
initiative and referendum amend
ment was submitted and passed,
and in this amendment it provides
Shat the people reserve the right
'to require that any laws which
the legislature may have enacted
shall be submitted to a vote of the
electors of the state before going
into effect, Except such laws as
may be necessary for the immedi-
ate preservation of the public
peace, health or safety, support Of
the state government and its exist
ing public institutions"
From this amendment alone it
would seem that the legislature
could take no action that would
prevent a referendum vote being
taken on any measure except one
expressly excluded, and under such
q classification it would be difficult
tesinelude the primary law. But
it will be noted that the amend
ment states that the right to ref
erend only applies to a law "before
going in effect" and makes no
provision for referending a law al
ready into effect, while the original
clause in the constitution gives
the legislature ths right to put any
law into effect at once, which was
done in the case of the primary
law. In view of this apparent con-
fiict we submit the case to the gu
preme court without prejudice.

The popularity of the commits

The popularity of the commits :
sion form of city government seems
to be waning. For small cities it
seems to be more expensive and is
no more efficient than the alder
manic system. The truth is being
realized that a city official is no
more competent when called a
commissioner than when called an
alderman. The efficiency of city
government depends upon the char
acter of the officers rather than up
on the system of government. Yer
million and Watertown are both
trying to go back to the old system
but there seems to be no provision
of law whereby they can do so.

The Aberdeen News advises the
citizens of Aberdeen to vote the
city dry at the spring election. It
predicts that the state will go pro-
hibition in 1916 and advises the
city to get itself adjusted to the
coming conditions. The News has
always been classed as an anti
prohibition paper but close OBJ
server of political conditions. AT
any rate it will be wise for the ir-
dividual drinker anywhere in the
state to practice little total alb
siinence during the coming year.
He will then be ahead of the game
however the state may go, and if
it does go dry the shock will not be
SO abrupt.
