HOUSE TODAY AND SIX IN THE SENATE

lation appears on the horizon to
cause an extended session.
According to the rules Senators
cannot introduce any more individual
bills, the rule being that the measures
must be introduced or in the hands
of the revisers of bills by the first
day of February. Of course there
are few in the files of the revisers
and others may appear from time to
time from committees but the influx
will not be as great as during the
opening days. The same rule applies
to the House only the members of
that branch of the Legislature have
until tomorrow to get their ideas pre-
sented to their fellow members in
concrete form.
Both houses meet at o'clock to-
night after the regular weekend va
cation and less than dozen bills
will be presented in the House and
perhaps two or three in the Senate.
The present body of lawmakers have
not given any indications of being
over anxious to "stick to their knit
ting" and work Saturday mornings
and Monday afternoons as did tho

Dut ms year the Senate has shown
that it is for woman's rights to- vote
by about two to one and seems to be
giving the women of the State as
many franchise rights as can be given
them without an amendment to the
State Constitution, which amendment
cannot be effected this year.
The bill to allow drafted men to
draw state pay, ten dollars month
for every month in the service of
the country, has been introduced and
it is believed that it will pass both
houses without much debate. Gov,
Clement favored such action and adj
vocated it in his campaign last fall
and to the average person it seems
only fair that the drafted
men should have the right to the
money the same as the enlisted men.
1t means considerable expense to the
state but possibly would be money
well spent as it will aid many ran
who has been discharged and is hay-
ing trouble securing employment.
This state will probably not consid-
er any measure looking to the finding
of employment for discharged SOL
diers because the situation is different
in Vermont than in the states which
contain large centers Of population
and there is not likely to be any Sc
rious difficulty in soldiers obtaining
jobs. Many will have their former
positions back and others will un,
doubtedly be glad to return to or
take up farm work.
