The discussion in progress relative to
the desirability of smaller legislature
has brought out many excellent points
for and against change from our pres
ent basis of legislative representation by
towns. s1he Bristol Herald, whose editor
has served IN the legislature, and who.
therefore, speaks from personal experience
as well as observation. comments as fol-
lows:
eve have ideas regarding the consti-
tuition of our state and the changes that
should be made. Others NAV NOT taKe
the same view, hence full and free dis.
cussion viii not be out cf place this off
year. We would suggest one change that
would be wise one to make. For illus
tration, Chittenden county has four SEN
ators; divide the county into districts.
allowing eight representatives. instead OF
one from each town. The same rule to
apply to other counties. This would make
senate of 80 and a house of 60 members,
a total of 80 members, instead Of DIT as
at present. The present house is too large
to accomplish good results. 1t might.
IN truth, be styled an expensive luxury.
We favor a fiat sum as salary; say $500
and no limit as to length of session.
The cost of our legislatures has been
the subject of much discussion. Change
the constitution so as to reduce the men,
bership of the house to 60, the state
would save, based on the present pay of
legislators, S748 each day. Does the cx-
penditure of that sum secure the enact
ment of laws that are worth the price
Is it not possible for 90 men to make lust
as good laws as 247 would? We believe
GO men would do better work and in less
time. The money saved could be used to
advantage in helping build better high
ways or in securing uniform text books
for our schools, if law for that much
needed reform could be enacted. The
matter of changing yermont's constitu-
ton to comply with the suggestions here
made is worthy of careful consideration
by the taxpayers
An argument in support of the present
representation of one member from each
town in the house, that has not been
brought out in this discussion is the
fact that the full representation of all
our rural communities counts for safety
against socialism and Bolshevism and all
that sort of thing. The large centers OF
; population in the United States have
shown themselves to be the hotbedS Of
the l. W. w ard kindred movements
In q rural state like Vermont we have
