TUESDAY, AUGUST, %, 1918.
UP TO THE LEGIsLATURE.

When the legislature at its last SEES
sion created the board of control it
clothed the body with authority at all
times to examine the books, accounts
and business of every state board, in
stitution, commission, officer or depart
ment, and in view of this act it has
been suggested that the board of con
troll examine the accounts of Gov. Hor-
ace +. Graham while he was state au-
ditor to determine the exact situation
with respect to alleged Irregularities
While the board of control might, and
probably would, do a thorough Job and
make a competent report, perhaps
with the aid of an expert accountant,
we doubt if that in the end would be
satisfactory way to get at the facts
The board consists of the governor, state
treasurer, auditor of accounts, director
of state institutions and person APP
pointed by the governor, and the COVER
nor is chairman by statute.
If, as has been stated, Governor Ora
ham contends that the funds involved
in the alleged shortage were expended
in legitimate state work then we do
not believe that he would care to sit in
Judgment upon his own case, as II were.
or would wish to have any appointee
of his do so, Such a proceeding
at least would be open to criticism.
In certain quarters there has been
demand that the attorney general
begin criminal proceedings. With this
in mind The Reformer has inquired of
Attorney General Barber whether thc
judicial department could maintain an
action of that kind against the highest
official of the state, but he is not ready
to express an opinion on that point. If
such authority does exist, however
prosecution could not be had fol
alleged wrong doing previous to three
years before beginning the action, under
the statute of limitations.
There is a sentiment that this Who'll,
matter is case for the next legisla
ture to investigate. Impeachment tall
is wholly beside the case, for as Gov
ernor Graham's record is slngularly
high and praiseworthy, and ne hardly
could be impeached for acts in no way
associated with the governorship. But
the legislature could by investigation
determine whether there was grounc
for further proceedings and future act,
would shape themselves accordingly.

of the services of an experienced law
maker at time when experience is a
consideration of unusual weight,
No sane person will deny that the
next session of the legislature ought
to be made as brief as possible, and
the only sure way to make it brief is
to choose men who are familiar with
the process of law making. The good
record that Mr.. Durham made in the
session of 1916 is evidence enough that
he not only knows the ropes but is am
ply competent to decide on any question
that may come up.
On the liquor issue there can be no
doubt about his position. He favors
the retention of the local option law
for Vermont, because of the opinion
doubtless that it has proved the most
satisfactory method of controlling the
liquor traffic as long as there is any,
but favors the ratification of the Shep-
pard amendment, presumably on the
theory that practically any method
that will abolish the manufacture and
sale of liquor is iustifiable
There are, of course, a good many
people who will disagree with Mr.. Dun
ham on this proposition, but it seems
to The Reformer serious question
whether such disagreement is sufficient
ground for contesting his nomination
especially in view of the apparent in.
evitability of national prohibition. OF
far more Importance to the state al
this time is the enactment of laws that
will make impossible the s~shiftless
methods that have existed heretofore in
the states accounting system. As &
business man of long experience Mr.
Durham ought to be particularly help
full in this work

AS one ponders over the Graham
scandal the feature that seems most
exasperating is not that the chief fig
ure in it should have made practice of
overdrawing his account but that he
should have gone before the people OF
Vermont and allowed them to elect
him governor knowing all the while
that there was skeleton in his officia1
closet whose revelation would involve
the good name of the state.

An interesting sidelight on the in
creasing superiority of the allies is
found in the statement made by the
London correspondent of the New York
Times that by the end of the month
the British will have made more air
raids on Germany in four weeks than
Germany has made on England in four
years This is certainly giving the Hun
a taste of his own medicine.
