CONTROL BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Women, Deer and Dogs Bring Out Or
atory. Adjournment Discussed.
Much Accomplished.

The administration board of con-
troll bill was debated for day and
half last week. 1t is considered the
most important bill of the admins
tration program and was given a
third reading by the close vote OF 11S
to III. After long discussion IN
which many members took part and
two amendments were made Speaker
Wilson called Representative Dana 70
the chair and took the floor to make
ringing speech against the proposed
amendment that would make the
speaker of the house a member of the
board of control Mr.. Wilson said he
had not been in favor of the bill as
first introduced, but after 1t was
amended by making one more mem
Der who is elected by the people the
auditor of accountS-he was heartily
in favor of the measure. The audi
tor of accounts replaces the director
of state institutions.
The amendment was defeated and
the bill was passed unanimously, VIII
son having swayed the entire oppo-
sition into line The bill now goes to
the senate.
One of the sensations of the house
occurred during the discussion of the
bill when Wright of Coventry said he
didn't know much about corruption in
politics but voted against the bill. He
said his county had agreed to support
the highway appropriation for his
town which was financially embar-
rassed and after his opposition to the
board of control bill he was approach
ed and told that because of his action
he need expect no support for his
bill
On an amendment vote on the board
of control bill where a roll call was
demanded, Orleans county voted for
the administration bill as follows:
Buck Of Charleston, Cheney of Al
bany, johnson of Craftsbury, Miller
of Troy, Phillips of Irasburg, Prouty
of Newport, Reirden of Barton and
Taylor of Derby. Those who voted
the other way were Demick of Hol-
land, Martin of Westfeld, Miles Of
Glover, Taylor of Greensboro and
Wright of Coventry. Those reported
as absent or not voting were Coburn
of Jay, Gray of Morgan, Parker of
Lowell and Smith of Bloomington.
Mr.. Reirden of Barton played an
important part IN the passage of the
board of control bill
Oratory began TO flow in the house
yesterday with the consideration of
H. 421, relating to the open season for
hunting deer, as amended by Mr.. Reir-
den of Barton, fixing the open season
from November 5 to Is, instead Of
November 10 to 25. The amendment
was accepted and the bill advanced.
An amendment to allow the killing Of
both doe and buck was defeated.
The bill relating to dogs introduced
by the committee on municipal cor
porations has been advanced to a
third reading. This bill takes all the
license fees and places them in the
state treasury from which the damag-
es caused by dogs is paid and then

ton; two sons, Fred of Wheelock and

Listers win Take Military Census

Barton listers in common with the
listers of other towns in Vermont
have received orders to make a CEN
sus of the men of military age in
their respective towns.
C. +. Hamblet of the Barton board
of listers says they will begin their
duties Immediately upon the receipt
of proper blanks from the military
department of state.
Under the law and the governors
order the listers are not authorized
to pass upon the question of a mans
right to exemption. That matter will
be determined later, if the occasion
arises, under section three of the law
above quoted, by such officers as the
governor designates. For present
purposes, therefore, all men who have
arrived at the 18th birthday and have
not reached the 46th birthday, will be
enrolled and reported.
The listers may accept a mans
own statement as to his age, but if, in
the listers opinion, a misstatement
has been made, the case will be inves-
tigated and dealt with under section
four of the law. It is the listers duty
to see that this is done.
The listers have no authority to ex-
empt a man for physical disability,
but in case the disability is apparent,
or the man claims disability, the fact
will be noted on the report. A doc
tors certificate, if presented, will be
attached TO and sent with the report
Aliens will be enrolled and reported
as it is desirable to obtain statistics
as to this class Of residents in the
state. An alien who has declared his
intentions to become citizen, that is,
filed his first papers for naturaliza-
tion, is liable to military duty.
If a man claims exemption on the
ground of religious or conscientious
scruples, the fact will be noted on the
report.
Members Of the national guard will
be enrolled, and the fact that they are
such members stated on the report.
This enrolment is not a contract of
enlistment. It does not bind the man
to service. 1t is simply the taking
Of stock" so that the state may know
how many available men it has and
where to find them if the necessity
arises.

That Lecture on the War.

There is much talk about the lee
ture to be given Wednesday evening
of next week in Seaver's hall by Ma
ior the Rev. Bruce Taylor of Mont
real, recently returned from the
trenches at the front in France
Several Barton people know of Ma
ior Taylor and some have heard him.
He not only has vivid war story,
but is a man of note as q speaker and
his recent lectures on trench life In
Richford and St Adams were very
highly spoken of.
He comes to Barton under the aus
pices of the young people of the Con-
gregational church, who viii canvass
the village for ticket sales before next
Wednesday and reserved seats may be
had at Pierce's or the box Office, at 35
cents.
Many from outside the village have
expressed a desire to hear Major Tay-
lor and tickets should be secured ear
ly. Reservations may be had by tele-
phoning Pierce's drug store.

While we hate to report the wealth

snow is now the deepest of the winter
and there are no signs Of spring.
Here's hoping for better things next

Members Of the Grange and Sun
beam Rebekah Lodge united Friday
evening after the regular meeting Of

pect TO leave this week for Montreal
where Mr. Wilson has employment.
A short entertainment was given, mu-
sic for dancing and promenading was
furnished by the orchestra and re-
freshments were served. Mr. and Mrs.
Wilson have many friends here who
regret their leaving town but wish
them success IN their new home.
