The lump sum salary for Vermont's
legislators is now a law, the measure
having been signed by Gov. HARNESS
on Feb. Is Therefore, when the leg
islators first appear in embryonic state
as candidates they will know just what
they are going to get when they 60
to Montpelier, just about how much
time they are expected to spend in the
session and just about what Vermont
expects of them $500 worth. There
will he no attempt to prolong the ses
sion at Montpelier in The eNpecta
ton of continuing a job under good
paymaster although we are firmly of
the opinion that this purpose actuates
few persons who are elected TO the
general assemblyl; and the members
of the Senate and House may be ex-
pected to go through their work ex-
peditiously. At least, that is the theory
under VIII IN The measure now become
a law was enacted. Some other states
have found the lump sum salary for
legislators satisfactory, in contrast to
the per diem pay. We shall hope to
see thorough trial Of the plan in Yer.
mont before any meddling legislature
that is to come will begin to tinker
with the law with view TO changing
back to the per diem system.

HEALTH DISTRICTS.


The Newport Express and Standard
thinks the division Of the state into
health districts, with the appointment
of a single health officer over a wide
territory, has resulted in IAN alarming
laxity in the observance of health and
quarantine laws" and the contempo-
rary commends the idea Of a local
health board to look after local con
ditions. There is nothing to prevent
a community from having health
board of its own to work in conjunc-
ton with the district health officer,
and several communities have such
boards. Cooperation between the two
works out quite well although, Of
course, much depends upon the At
ness Of the appointee TO the dis
trict health officers position. At the
time of the institution Of the new sys-
tenn Of district health officers we were
not at all convinced Of its value, but
the results thus far attained have
tended to remove much Of the preju-
dice felt originally At the same time
we are free 10 say that the health dis
tricts ought to be made smaller so
that results could be made immediate
IL obtained through the initiative Of
the district health officer
