CURRENT COMMENT
Governors Myth Exploded.

Governor z. w. Clement has per
sistentlv claimed that he did not want
to call a special session of the legisla-
ture to act on the proposed amendment
to the federal constitutional amend
ment granting suffrage to women be
cause he believed no amendments
changing the constitution should be
ratified until favorably acted upon by
a referendum. 1t was pretty myth
with which he camouhaged his real po-
sition. but the supreme court OF the
United States has ruthlessly destroyed
the myth in its unanimous decision
that state legislatures or constitution
al conventions are the only bodies au-
thorized to act upon proposed changes
to the federal constitution.
The constitution itself provides meth
DDS for its amendments and the court
makes the obvious decision that those
provisions are the only valid ones for
effecting changes The governor OF Yer
mont can no longer consistently refuse
TO call the legislature Of Vermont in
eession that il may act upon this mat
ter. Ratification by the Vermont leg
islature would give the necessary ~
ratifcations and put the amendment
in force in time TO give millions OF
women an opportunity to vote for pres
ident
The national Republican committee
has issued an appeal 10 any Repubh-
can states that have failed 20 ratify to
act at once, the state Republican com
mittee Of Vermont and later the state
Republican convention have appealed
directly to Governor Clement TO call 3
special session to allow Vermont TO dc
Justice to the women Of the nation
These are sufficient political reasons
for favorable action by the governor
and the decision of the supreme court
removes the last excuse for failure q
act. The governor would be perform
ing the best political service and the
greatest act Of justice Of his term II

The first published announcement by
Congressman Porter H. Dale that he
was a candidate to succeed himself as
a Vermont representative in the House
was made in a St. Johnsbury paper,
the congressman stating: 81 am a
candidate, but hardly think ! shall
make any formal announcement about
ii at this time. The voters OF this dis
trict know who I am and ought to
know by this time what | believe and
stand for" That is pertinent point.
The fact is that large number Of yot'
ers in the second Vermont district,
from the north to the south end of the
state, do not know who their repre-
sentative in Congress is either by ac-
quaintance or by name, so they can
not know what that representative
stands for. Congressman Dale is a
likeable person and of many good quail
tiles. but he has not made strong
impression eithe ruon the second dis
trict or upon the doings in Congress,
although he has served three terms at
Washington.

field, N. II. This reminds one OF the
current method of getting rid of the
social evil by dumping the prostitutes
on another town. Moral clean-ups, so
called, are effected by forcing some
other community to harbor the unde-
sirables, and the cleaned-up town pro-
ceeds forthwith to plume itself on it's
moral cleanliness. Simply shifting the
responsibility on some other shoulders
is not a moral cleanup by any means.
No more is vicious dog disposed of
by thrusting it on some other com
munity.

Judge Harland B. Howe, Vermont
dis penser of justice on the bench of
the L. s. district courts, is not tri-
fer when it comes to the matter of
handling convicted profiteers. His sen
fencing of a Utica, n. Y, firm, which
was convicted on eleven counts of prof
iteering, to pay a fine of $4,000, &C
cords with the public estimate of what
ought to be done to suppress the Prae-
tice of gouging the public while the
latter is practically defenseless. A few
more sentences of that sort by Judge
Howe and similar action by other judg'
es with backbone will have tendency
to stop the morally and legally wrong
practice OF showing up prices until an
exorbitant rate Of profit is secured.

The following tribute TO the lack Of
profteering by Vermont farmers on
their 1910 maple sugar crops is from
the Boston Transcript:
II is not surprising to learn that Yer
mont's maple sugar production was
larger this year than usual, but, re-
Numbering some things about the 9th
er kind of sugar, it is truly remarkable
10 ind that the price of the Vermont
article is only little higher than here
tofore.
As a rule. Vermont farmers are not
disposed to tack more than a fair per
rentage of profit from their investment
A. Boston people will find if they
should have occasion to come into the
Green Mountain state and get in bust
ness contact with the farmers here.

For town of only q voters, st.

ing quite a stir in court circles, having
occupied no less than week in lower
court in the presentation of dispute
between contestants for town offices
and the case is now going to the SUI
preme court of Vermont for settlement.
The legal machine involved seems to be
all out of proportion to the Importance
of the issues in the matter.
