The Executive Budget.
81. AIbans AIcssengcr.


Vermont is becoming increasingly in
tcrestcd in the executive budget. TO re-
place the present system. The plan is
to have the incoming governor prepare
a budget and 10 have the legislature adj
here to it. This contemplates. of course,
making the legislature rubber stamp of
the executive.
That some fiscal improvement is
needed is granted that an executive
budget is the way out has not been
proven to the satisfaction of the Mes
scnger. The legislature. under our con
stitution. is master of the purse strings,
and nothing but n constitutional amend
mcnt can alter this fact
Are the people prepared to amend the
constitution SO as to direct the repre-
sentativcs of all the people to accept the
dictates of one man as to expenditures
This the Messenger very much doubts.
and it doubts very much the wisdom of
such a suggestion.
1t is easy TO think that a change in
procedure will mean the elimination OF
the troubles that now worry us, but
there is little in governmental expert
ence. here or elsewhere. to sustain such
view. The chances are we would be
flying from present evils to embrace 9th
crS now unknown to Us, and perhaps,
and very probably. worse than those
which plague us at present.

the indifference of many persons to dis

that the boy in this case had not been

the sense Of caution enough to ask his
father if the shotgun was loaded, being
informed by the father that the weapon
was not loaded. But the father had
been mistaken; the gun was loaded and
it was discharged directly at the elder

pulled the trigger. The boy cannot be
blamed SO much in this case. because lie
had probably not been warned against
the practice of handling firearms whether
loaded or not loaded. The terrible conse-

An orderly parade is n mode Of digni-
fed protest that all demoCracies permit
and recognize; even some autocracics
have not been able to stop the people"
from exercising their right to assemble
together to consult for the common

has it.
And in addition to consulting, the
people have certainly a right to parade
in an orderly manner and without inter-
fering with the rights of others.
