THE STATE OF THE STATE

II is significant that much Of the
criticism directed at the civil state in
Vermont comes from what may be
considered the inside. Men who either
are holding state Office or have been in
official positions recently-and who
may therefore be supposed to know
conditions as they exit-offer con
structive suggestions for improve
ment. One Of the most outspoken
critics is Benjamin Gates, state audi
tor, probably as well informed con-
corning affairs Of state as any person
in Vermont His predecessor in office
likewise had pronounced ideas and
when he was elevated to the governor
ship put some corrective measures in
TO effect. Ex-Governor Fletcher has
recently taken a vigorous stand for
certain reforms. Whatever ones pre-
JUDGES toward Allen NJ. Fletcher, no
one questions his thorough under
standing Of the official mechanism in
Vermont.
This, in and of itself, does not prove
that things are wholly wrong, but it is
an indication that they may not be
wholly right. And when one stops to
consider the history and record Of the
construction of the official machine
speaking Of the entire state govern
ment as such-how could it be other
wise? What we have is the result Of
patchwork extending over period Of
a century and third. II is like a
building, to which, as needs and de-
mands develop, here an ell, there a
leanto, yonder an addition, have been
tackled on. The natural effect would
be a lrck Of facilities best adopted to
the present work in hand; old things
that have been retained out Of consid-
Grafton for tradition and sentiment,
rather than from purposes related to
new things grated on in a
way that obstructs their functioning
to best advantage; a general lack Of
well ordered arrangement and sym
metry, such as a perfect mechanism
should possess.
We all know how it comes about. |
In due course there arises an agita-
ton for certain change in or addi- |
ton to the province of state govern
ment. II is presented to the legisla-
lre, which runs it through the mill,
it, compromises with the
opposition and perhaps finally enacts
approaching the original
dea, which is plastered onto the exist
ng system and left to work itself out

setting, and takes its place among the
other consultations Of the states
Milky Wsy.
In course Of time this process has
brought into being so many different
pieces Of machinery, cast Of different
metals and by different designers, that
some Of them fail TO mesh. with the
result that there is considerable loss
in efficient operation. Some Of the
engineers selected to preside over the
special parts Of the mechanism hardly
seem necessary in view Of others to
whom has been committed the general
oversight Of the whole, or of partic-
ular functions. At any rate there is
constantly arising in the minds Of
those who have studied il at close
range the query whether in some way
things cannot be simplifed and bet
tered, with increase in efficiency and
lessening in public expense.
But, someone inquiries, IL this is
so, why does not the properly consti-
.tuted body, the legislature, take ii in
hand and correct it? The answer is
that the job in its dimensions is quite
beyond the capacity Of an ordinary
legislature to handle, in the ordinary
way. 1t involves far more in the mat
ter Of investigation, research and con-
sideration than the law-making body
has time or attention TO give il, and
deal with the other countless subjects
that have to be handled, even assum-
ing that the ordinary legislature in
cluded in its membership the partic-
ular mind and experience that such a
deep and far-reaching theme demands.
No standing committee could under
take it in connection with the other
duties required Of such committee
It is doubtful il a special legislative
whose members were re-
lieved Of all other assignments, could
make much Roadway with 1t in the
brief time Of the session, and attend
to their other duties.
Some years ago, when it became the
settled conviction Of the state that the
system Of public education deserved a
pretty thorough overhauling, the leg
islsture authorized the appointment
by the governor Of a commission TO
make thorough investigation Of the
subject and report to the next session.
Men Of special fitness, including some
from without the state, were induced
TO sit on this board. They had the
assistance Of experts. They devoted
months to consideration and their re-
port when submitted underwent a
criticism. The legislature
.ook Il up and evolved new system,
based largely on the recommendations
# the commission. II may or may not
lave been the best disposition Of the

subject. But this is certain-action
followed careful investigation and a
knowledge OF all the facts available.
Such things have been done before
and since. The present legislature
authorized an investigation and report
on the subject Of bovine tuberculosis
to be given by commission TO the
next law making body. Proposals Of
amendment TO the state constitution
are usually formulated by a commits
sion appointed two years in advance.
II is the proper way in which TO ap-
proach large subjects that cannot be
handled well II perfected upon the
stressful period Of legislative SEES
sion.
We believe that the condition Of the
state government warrants attention
as soon as il can be given with the
purpose in view Of strengthening IL
and making il more efficient, Of simpli-
flying II and introducing economies
We are Of the opinion that the board
Of control, competent body, has suf-
fcient legal authority TO make com
plete investigation and report cover
ing this subject TO the next legislative
session and we urge that IL take the
matter up without loss Of time-Ran-
