Adjournment Prospects.
est. Albans Messenger. J

The S400 lump salary bill is having
some effect, it would seem. on the pres
ent session, at least. The legislature
met Saturday and is meeting again to-
day, a record not often equalled in re-
cent years The Tuesday to Friday pro-
gram has usually prevailed, except dur
ing the rush of the closing days when
the solons are on the job night and
day.
1t is hoped that final adjournment
will take place within three weeks at
the outside. Some optimists think that
next week will see the wind-up. This
however. is not to be expected. There
are still two troublesome problems 10
be solved: the highways and the normal
schools. 1t is possible that the highway
matter will be smoothed out and viii
not require much time. The indications
are that the crisis viii be reached in this
disagreement this week.
The normal school situation is more
complex with the Stearns measure sup
posed to have lost in favor making nee
essary an attempt at some sort of a COM
promise bill. This compromise bill is
still very nebulous and has not been re-
duced to writing according to all re-
ports. Time for preparation and con-
sideration will. it would seem. extend the
session throughout the month. So, II
adjournment comes in March. there will
be little of which to complain.

MONTPELIER, March


The senate this morning concurred in
the house amendment to Senator Dun
hams Sunday observance bill voting 81
to i'm favor of the section which prohib-
its dancing on the Sabbath, but before
they did so the senator's gave the earnest
gentleman from Brattleboro the most un-
comfortable 30 minutes he has expe-
rienced in a long time. The whole thing
was, Of course, frame up" but Sena-
tor Durham had not the slightest inkling
of that fact and as one by one his col
leagues apparently deserted from a cause
on which he has devoted days and nights
of conscientious toll his discontinue was
plainly apparent. Indeed it was not until
the beginning of the roll call when Sena-
tor Bryant. who had confessed an un-
willingness to STRAY from the precepts
learned at his mothers knee" voted yes
that Mr. Dunham realized he had been
the victim of a well-planned and excel
lently engineered hoax.
Trouble for the Dunham bill started
when Senator Carpenter objected to the
amendment prohibiting dancing as class
legislation, He thought the amendment
Disseminated against the man who could
afford to play golf and against the little
girl in the gingham apron who wanted to
trip the light fantastic of a Sunday after
noon He wondered whether there was
any truth to the story that the amend
ment represented trade involving the
defeat of the teachers college bill.
Senator Bryant followed Senator Car
penter and confessed to serious change
of heart His conscience told him he
should follow the teaching promulgated
on Mt. Sinai. al
Senator Dunham then rose to defend
his pet measure and made an earnest plea
for it. He said he had never danced or
played golf or fished on the Sabbath. al
though on one occasion he was the only
one of a party of 24 to hang up his rod
on the seventh day. As to dancing, he
thought six days and six nights We're
sufficient for it. As TO the charge of a
trade, he denied it vigorously and called
the practice contemplate.
Senators McKillip and Kingsley stood
by the senator from Windham, the latter
resenting the strong language in the
charge of trade.
Senator Villas directly inquired of the
senator from Windham if there had been
such a trade and Senator Durham denied
it again.
Senator SIayton wanted to know if
there was anything in the present laws
that prohibited young man taking his

Compromise.
(Rutland Hcrald.)

Some of the Homeric figures of history
have been able to accomplish big things
by refusing to compromise. lteW TO the
line: let the chips fall where they may
sounds well. lit serves a. a slogan for an
age too much given to easy tolerance and
a general Stacking down of standards but
most of the really useful accomplishments
of history come from compromise.
So with the school and highway prob
lens. which loom so large in the fore
ground of the present legislature. There
must be compromise or neither VIII be
solved or substantially amended before
final adjournment.
AS to schools, the Stearns propaganda
has created deep distrust of the normal
schools, while the anti-Burlington preju..
dice has seriously injured the chances OF
the teachers college and the usefully de-
signed propositions for extensions IN
teacher training.
Meanwhile, a tendency of the smaller
towns to run amuck and slash standards
for teachers in their anxiety TO relieve
the teacher shortage is regarded as omln-
Gus and probably will not be passed by the
senate.
These two factions must get together
on something constructive or things VIII
remain where they are.
The same thing applies to highways.
The HartneSs-Bates forces are IN "a stale
mate. and it seems to be up to the
house leaders to map out constructive
and well-defned highway policy, with the
governor, state engineer and highway COM
missioner as a commission eX-oticio, at
least one of which should be continued IN
office for four years or more
This should be done in accordance with
the wishes of the governor and the Bates
forces if possible; otherwise, without
them.
The Herald believes things are already
tending in that direction and heartily
commends such compromise to the at
tention of thoughtful legislators.

TRACK UNDERMINED OV
BOTH LOCAL BRANCHES
OF CElVIRAL VERMONT
MAY UPSET INCOME
TAX ASSESSMENTS

WASHINGTON, March 1f-SO-
lieitor General Frierson i'm closing
the governments argument today i'm
the corporate bond tax case before
the supreme court conceded that the
internal revenue bureau had erred
in assessing as profits the difference
between the market value of an in
vestment on March 1, 1918, and that
ON a subsequent date of sale.
If the court accepts Mr.. Frierson's
view, as Associate Justice Pitney in
dicated that il would, thousands of
individual assessments upon which
millions of dollars i'm taxes already
have been paid, will be annulled.
The government admission. ii was
said, does not remove the necessity of
the court passing upon the larger
question of whether increased value
of securities purchased and held for
investment can be taxed as income
with this increased value is realized
finally by sale.
