Home guard organization plans,
based where possible on needs shown
by the military guard service and pro-
viding for SO companies, totaling 5000
men, have been presented to the State
Public Safety commission as recon-
mended by Major Oscar Seebach, in
charge of details in the home guard
movement.
Home guard units will include IL
companies of 500 men in Minneapolis,
like numbers of companies of 400 men
in both st. Paul and Duluth and q
companies of varying strength, but
totaling LAO men in other cities of
the state, according to Major See
bach's plans. These figures are based
where possible on demands made on
the temporary military guard service
and in contemplation of relieving these
forces when called into federal service.
Chairman of county units in the

State Public Safety commission at

Decisive steps in home guard or.

Treasury Balance Near Record.
Totaling nearly $7,OO0,OO0, the state
treasury cash balance is at a record
breaking point, State Treasurer Rines
says. The report was made to the
state board of deposit, which met to
approve bonds Of banks designated as
state repositories, and took no action
relating to the cash fund on hand.
The record for big balances in the
state treasury was broken with total
of $6,992, 652.02 reached when the ad.
vance payment of nearly $1,50O,0OO of
inheritance taxes was made on the es-
tate of James ]. Hill, late of st. Paul.
Soldiers pay of more than 100000
and other immediate disbursements on
appropriations of $1,575,O0O soon will
reduce the cash, the treasurer said,
but tax revenue forthcoming in June
will again swell the big total.

to draw on the state treasury and pay
the bills direct, later informing the au-
dtor's department of what he has done.
The state purchasing agent ought to be
permitted, of course, to do the dickering,
and, therefore, he should approve the
bills contracted; hut for the sake of uni
formity in the disbursement of money by
all the departments, the treasurer's or
auditors department should have the
jurisdiction over payment. In recon-
mending that, Gov Graham is reason
able. As to his plea for court reorgani-
cation, there will be wide diversity of
opinion, but the presentation of the
scheme at this time can do some good,
perhaps, by stirring up discussion of the
best means. The Times feels absolutely
sure that Gov. Graham's purpose is to
get the best for the state, whether it be
after his own ideas or not, which makes
us confident that he viii give the state a

Ia better Vermont BY cutting off a
few dollars here and few dollars there,
no considerable saving will be effected,
but by united effort, by team work, by
supervision and careful scrutiny of the
work OF each department as it proceeds
and the results accomplished therein
from month to month many dollars may
be saved both for the taxpayer and for
use where most needed. Duplication of
effort will be avoided and in a short time
each department of state will be able TO
show a more efficient management and
greater results than we can possibly ex-
pect under our present system.
"The bright light of publicity, the spur
OF competition with proper supervision
and the advice of general board will
soon place our governmental activities
upon business basis. We shall thus be
able to set side by side from day to day
our wants and our means and be thus
better able to determine those wants
that are necessary and, when properly
met, will make for better government.

A GOOD RECORD AS GOVERNOR.

When Charles w. Gates was called
from his favorite work as head of the
states highway department two years
ago to become the executive head of the
state government, he already had we'll
established repute as careful, con-
scientious, hard working official He had
won signal success as the director of the
road policy of Vermont for decade.
Therefore, it was with no misgivings
whatever that the electorate summoned
him to that higher position in the execu-
tive chair. The people of Vermont felt
that the administration of the affairs of
the commonwealth would be in safe and
able hands. The results of the past two
years have justified that conviction.
Ever since assuming the position of gov
ernor, Mr. Gates has shown a disposition
to conduct the Office on a high plane,
seeking to get at the root of the matters
at hand, hearing all sides if there were
differences of opinion, and then forming
his conclusions in a fair manner. AT
fairs have been conducted, too, with con
siderable tact, there having been far less
friction than might have been expected |
when so many and so complex affairs
were to come up for solution. The har-
monious conduct of administrative work I
has initiated in favor of steady, if not |
remarkably swift, progress in the we'll
being of the commonwealth. Such has
been the case, and Charles w. Gates re-
tires from the Office with a record wen
up to the standard set by governors of
the later generation. He has merited the
appreciation of people of all parties, and
The Times feels sure that such approba
tion will be given to him as he goes into
private life.

adopted for extending state aid unde
state supervision to roads other than sc

automobiles do not reside upon selecte'

| part OF the automobile fund should b.
available for the Improvement OF road

"All the expense of the highway de
partment including the pay of the com
missioner and his office force, the district
highway commissioners and the mainte
nance of draw bridges and the Sand Ban
bridge should be charged against the
highway funds.
Revision of the Statutes-No. 242 OF
the acts of 1915 provided for a general
revision of the entire body of the public
statute law of the state. The work OF
the commissioner having this matter in
charge will soon be submitted to the gen
eral assembly under the title General
Laws of Vermont As hundreds OF
changes have been recommended by the
commissioner, it will be impracticable for
any committee to undertake TO go over
the work without outside assistance and
recommend that by joint resolution the
attendance and service of the commits
sioner before the legislative committee
having this revision in charge be provid-
ed for during the session and that ade-
quate stenographic assistance be at once
authorized.
Courts believe that there should be
elected by the board of civil authority in
each town in the state and the city OF
Vergennes trial justice for criminal
causes who should have authority tC.

charged with any offense but should only

accounts with the auditor of accounts. ]

iiction of justices OF the peace be limit

no longer act as curator of the cabinet
but with the president of the Vermont

State Engineer-The state employs
civil engineers in connection with the
work of the public service commission,
highway commissioner, board of health
and attorney general Moneys so ex-
pended are amply sufficient to employ an
engineer and to provide for his necessary
office assistance, and | believe that we

neer. This officer should take charge of
all the engineering problems arising in
all state departments except such as can

The salaries of certain other officers

"Education-Th present educational
law and system should be continued in
