The County Building Tax

Senate bill No. 101 which would inn
pose a county tax of five cents on the
dollar for every city and town in
Washington county "for repairs and
alterations to the county buildings of
Washington county" at Montpelier is
said to have been caused by orders of
the state board of health; and yet we
note that the assistant judges of the
county are given discretionary powers
under the act "to make such other
additions, alterations and repairs in
and to the county buildings as in their
judgment may be necessary, including
a veranda to the tenement house owned
by the county jail" We presume that
the order of the state board of health
relates to the installation of a "steam
sterilizer and heat for the vent flues
in such Jail buildings" and of that
proposed change we have nothing to
say at this time; but we do believe
that the 20 cities and towns of Wash
ington county should put their collec-
tive foot down solidly on PROPOSE
ton to expend money for anything
that is not imperatively needed or ex-
pressly ordered. These are crying
hard times for every one of the 20
cities and towns, with tax rates
jumping in an alarming fashion; and
it is imposing an undue hardship to
ask them to raise the tax still higher
in order to meet expenditures which
are not absolutely necessary, like a
"veranda to the tenement house owned
by the county jail" We say this in
no hostility to any persons who may

lar session on the first Monday Of De-
cember, 1913, and dragged its weary
length far into the autumn of last
year, completing its most important
work with the Federal Reserve Act
and the passage of bills supplementing
the antitrust laws and creating the
Federal Trade Commission, which are
yet TO be tested.
Much of the time Of the present
short session has been wasted in the
Administration effort TO force
through the Government ship purchase
bill, which seems sure to have
happy dispatch toward oblivion when
the hour Of adjournment comes. This
has been instrumental in preventing
the passage of some worthy measures,
but there is nothing in that particular
ly to be regretted. The way of appro-
priation bills has been blocked until
they had TO be pushed through in the
last few days. 1t is TO be hoped that
none of them will carry any mischiev-
GUS riders. The river and harbors
pork barrel" has been dumped again
with the provision of lump sum TO
carry on work already under way.
There are hopeful signs that the
new Congress will not be called in ex-
session either early or
late. The confirmation Of four of the
five appointees for the Trade Commits
sion, and virtual consent TO postpone
the Colombia and Nicaragua treaties,
will probably avert even an extra ses-
sion of the Senate. The Trade Com
may perhaps be completed by
a recess appointment to fill vacancy.
The rest can wait well enough until
next December. 1t is to be hoped that
no eXigency connected with the Euro
pean war will require calling Congress
will be over when it meets in regular
session. Unless something extraordin-
lry happens the Administrator can
get along better without it and the

and try to recover its lost prosperity
so far as circumstances will permit.
One conspicuous thing about this Con-
gress is the extent to which its action
mas been inspired, guided or coerced
by the Executive department Of the
Government, and it is not desirable TO
nave that experience repeated. The

sible for it have lost more than they

WOMEN FAVORED BY LAW

A New York Lawyer says that.
Briefly, a woman is favored under
the New York law in the following
ways:
She is exempt from military SER
vice.
A married woman is not obliged to
contribute toward the support of the
family.
She may work and earn money and
do with it as she pleases.
She may own real and personal
property, and may ~ell or dispose of
it as she pleases without her husbands
consent. The husband cannot dispose
of his real estate without his wife's
consent.
She is not obliged to pay her hus-
bands bills, even though they are for
family expenses. The husband must
pay her bills.
If through his fault she obtains a
divorce, the husband must pay ali
mony. But if through her fault he
obtains a divorce she pays nothing.
She may be worth millions and cut
him off without cent in her will. He
cannot cut off her dover right.
II he dies intestate leaving children,
they receive two-thirds and the widow
third of his personal estate be-
sides her "dower right" of one-third
of his real estate. If she dies, leaving
children the husband is entitled to one
third Of her personal estate, but moth
ing else.
If he owns the home in which they
live he cannot sell or mortgage it
without the signature of the wife. If
she owns it she may do with it as she
pleases.
If the husband fails to support her,
he may be arrested and prosecuted
criminally. No matter how wealthy
she is, or how sick or poor he is, the
wife cannot be compelled to support
him.
When girl is married under lS,
the man may be punished as an abb
ductor if the parents consent was not
obtained. But there is no punishment
for the girl, no matter how young the
man may be.
Factory owners may not put women
to work in their shops before a. M,
or keep them after 9 p. M, nor may
they force women to work more than
54 hours or six days week. There
is no such law for men employees.
A careful study Of Vermont statutes
would probably disclose that women
are equally favored in Vermont. The
New York lawyer thinks that If
women are to be given the ballot and
equality with men all laws which now
favor them should be amended so as to
give men equal rights.-Bellows Falls

OPPOSE THE STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH
Rutland Voters Turned Down School
Bond Proposition

Rutland, March 4-The members of
the school board Of this city are in a
quandary as result Of the failure Of the
people TO vote Tuesday in favor of
bonding the city for $4,000 TO make
repairs on the high school and other
public school buildings, the majority
against the proposition being 100. Last
fall the state board Of health served
notice TO Attorney Marvelle c. Web
Der as president of the school board
that the high school must not be open
ed for the school year beginning next
September unless there is provision
for better ventilation, better light and
overcrowding. The service makes Mr..
Webber personally responsible and
liable TO prosecution under the stat
utes if the edict is not obeyed.
1t will cost $4,000 to put the high
school in shape. The board of educa-
tion has not money for the purpose
and the board of aldermen have not
the power TO vote the money as Rut-
land already gives her schools 80 per
cent of the grand list, the maximum
allowed by law. Thus bonds authoriz-
ed by the citizens is the only way,
and Tuesdays rundown by the voters
makes it appear that Rutland may not
have a high school this year.
Mr.. Webber is in favor of asking
the mayor to call a special election to
re-submit the bond question, but the
people are desirous of testing the pow
er of the state board of health as is
indicated by yesterdays vote of 1,424
to 736 to remove from the city water
bleach used for some years on order
of the health board. Litigation is
quite likely to result.

The Barre Times does well to warn
Washington county against the propo-

for improvements on the county Jail.
Windham county has just been

results of the extravagant policy of
the state board of health special tax
Of three cents will be levied on the
grand list of this county for two
years. Since the cost and nature of
the Jail improvements have become
known there is a strong feeling here
abouts that the county officers would
have been justified in standing out
against the orders of the state board
of health as unreasonable and exces-
sive. A test case to determine the
power of the board to enforce its
would have been
watched with interest throughout the
state.-Reformer.
