person is David Mills, aged 18 years
of Waitsfield
Young Mills, who graduated last
year from St. Johnsbury Academy,
IS student at Polvtchnic institute in
New York city, where he is taking
an engineering course. The young
man anxious to secure practical min
ing experience, corresponded with the
management of the Consolidated AS
bestos comnanv of Thetford Mines,
T. G., and arranged to go to work
for that concern in order that he
might learn the mining game this
summer. The company agreed to
paw him $3.50 per day while he was
learning the business and arrange
ments were made for him to 90 to
that town and start on his work.
1t was necessary for Mills to pass
through Newport and in order to
enter Canada he would be forced to
pay a head tax of S25. When eues-
toned bv Canadian immigration au-
thorltles he admitted he had only
$3.50 with him and no source to draw
from. AS a result he was refused
admittance to that country. A Uni

Mills plight and decided to do what

While he was busy here earning
his passage, young Mills received a

stating that they would be pleased to
have him come up there at anytime

promised him minimum wage of

AMEY DENOUNCES
POSITION TAKEN
/, BY CLEMENT
Island Pond Attorney Gives
Legal Opinion On
Governors Stand

Harry B. Amey of the law firm OF
Amey and Cameron of Island Pono
has written for the Caledonlan-Re-
cord u legal opinion upon the stand
taken by Governor Clement in retus@
ing to call a special session OF the
Vermont Legislature for the purpose
OF voting on the 18th amendment to
the Federal Constitution which give
women equal suffrage.
1t is sound and convincing docu-
ment. 1t should be read by every
voter. 1T shows very clearly that
except for political eXpediency the
Governor has no sound basis for the
position he has taken in preventing
the Republican party from carrying
out the pledges of the national and
State organizations of ratitying. wo-
man suffrage.
MI. Ameys opinion follows.
The proclamation of His Excellency
refusing to call an extra session of
the Vermont legislature for the pur-
pose OF voting on the 18th amend
ment to the Federal constitution has
created more than ordinary interest
throughout the country owing to the
unusual necessity of action on the
part of the chief executive, to en-
franchise the women of the State for
the Presidential election wherein
they are allowed to vote in nearly all
other States din the Union.
Governor Clement bases his refus-
al mainly on LEGAL grounds, ignoring
largely all Questions of expediency.
As chairman of the committee on
suffrage and election in the Vermont
State Senate, it is not out of place
for me to answer the Governor, con-
f.ning myself mainly to the legal pro-
positions therein involved.
The Governors message breaths
the very spirit of secession and nulli
iicaton. If we hesitate to say that
the constitution OF the United States
is the sunreme law of the land and
say that it is a mere compact that
can be violated at will and at every
convenience and whim of the States.
We are nIacin~ our verv government
upon tottering foundations, and are
raising a hue and cry of secession.
The constitution of the United States
provides a method of amendment.
"The Congress, whenever two-thirds
of both Houses shall deem it necess-
arv, shall pronose amendments to
this constitution. or on the applica-
ton of the Legislatures of two
thirds of the several States, shall call
a convention for proposing amend
ments, which, in either case, shall be

his East Broughton home to go to
farming on his new property. In or
der to get to East Richford, Aldrich
found it necessary to proceed to
Newport on the Sherbrooke train and
leave on the air line from this city
for Richford This necessitated the
couple reporting to the immigration
authorities here and securing per-
nit to again cross the frontier. AL

hours to wait for their train last

Soon afterward Zuckor received q
telenhone call from Leon Aldrch, a
brother of Ernest Aldrich, who was
anxious to learn if Inspector Zuc-
kor was familiar with the where
abouts of his brother, saying that he
was alone on the farm. Mr.. Zuckol
informed the younger brother of the
circumstances of the case and Young
Aldrich hung up. A short time later
word was received from Inspector
Dow at East Richford, who informed
Mr.. Zuckor that Leon Aldrich had
taken horse and buggy from the
Wilson fran and had left the vii

to the recent election in Greece in
which Premier Venizelos was defeated
and the people voiced their wish for
the return Of King Constantine. The
pastor is alleged to have said that this
