That Salary of Executive
Should Be Raised
Especial to The Reformer.


Gov. Pereival W. Clement this morn
ing addressed the memberssof the legisIa.
ture in joint assembly on the matter OF
state expenses. He reviewed brifiy the
different expenses of the state. went
through report OF the budget committee
and summed up the whole, saying that
he thought a 30-cent tax would be suffi-
cient for each year of the two ensuing
years to meet the state expenses, bu:
that if the state desired to clean up its
entire deficit of s700,000 in two years a
40-eent tax would be necessary. The gov
ernor did not advise this, however. as he
thought it would be too heavy burden
and he declared that the deficit would
only be paper deficit and could easily
be handled two years from now
! A saving of expense through the state
carrying its own insurance was urged by
the governor, bin now being before the
house with that end in view. Governor
Clement pointed out that our state build
ings, including those at Montpelier. Yer
gennes, Brandon. Brattleboro, Water
bury. Rutland and Windsor. are widely
scattered and that most of them are now
practically fireproof, and he thought that
/ it would in the end be saving to the
state to create a sinking fund to be added
TO each year, which could be used in the
case of fire and the interest Of which
would 20 to aid in erecting new buildings
as they become necessary. The governor
said that he thought the state buildings
were over-valued by insurance compan-
les
If this insurance matter is put through
said the governor, a sprinkling system
should be installed in the state house, es-
pecially in the dome, which is made of
wood. This would make the state house
practically freproof, the governor thinks.
Il was hoping said Governor Glenn
ent, that the committee appointed To
investigate the Vail agricultural school
and the state agricultural school at Ran
dolph would advise consolidation OF these
two schools, but they did not. II seemed
TO me that the work of these two schools
could have been done to advantage at
one school. The administrative depart
ment of the state viii do its best TO make

the state against Artemas Houghton
and Rufus Houghtop of Brattleboro,

The latest development in the ease
was the arrest last evening, in behalf
of the state, of one of the states wit
nesses, Walter B. Gibbs, charged with

Houghton case IS disposed Of.
1t appears that after the Houghton
brothers were arrested it was expected
that Gibbs would testify in behalf of
the state. The trial of the Houghtons
was set for Monday of this week before

D. E. Stowe and jury, and a jury was
drawn for that purpose. The Hough-

WASHINGTON, March 25.-
Crops are expected to benefit from
the mild winter during which there
was more sunshine and less snow
throughout most of the United
States than since the 70's. The
combination of light snow and high

and sturdy growth of grain. The
mild weather has been especially
beneficial to fruit bearing trees and
plants and bumper crop is prom
ised- Grazing land likewise has
been benefited.
