STATE CAN'T PAY BILLS.
Expenses of Legislature Greater Than
EXpenses--Clerks and Secretaries
Must Wait


MONTPELIER, Feb. 23.-The secre-
tary of the senate and clerk of the house
of the general assembly will be unable
to get their pay for indexing the senate
and house journals. nor will the printing
bin of the journals be pail until the next
session of the legislature, was the state
mcnt of Benjamin Gates, auditor of ac-
counts, last evening following the state
ment that there is no way to meet these
bills.
The $400 lump sum salary bill has
taken a great deal more money than it
had been figured that it would, and there
Is OnlN about $40 left of the sum appro-
priatcd for the expenses of the general
assembly and what goes with it after adj
JOurnment.
The printing and clerical work will
amount to about $1,000. The legislature
of 1919 appropriated $165.000 to meet the
expenses of the session of 1921 and the
Legislature of 1921 appropriated an addi-
tional $4,000 expecting that would meet
all bills, but it has failed to do so.

Rabbits as Protection from Mosnuilos

Careful observations have been made
In France, of the extent to which mos
aiitocs are attracted to domestic ami
mails in prefe to human beings 1t
proved experimentaIly that mosquitoes
have stronger predilection for the
blood of rabbits, stronger than for that
of any other domestic animal. This dis
covery has been practically applied in
many parts of France as a protection
from mosquitoes, and particularly from
those that carry germs of malaria, and
similar diseases.-From the February

Objection To Gas
Being Piped Out.

State industries want first call
on the natural gas Of the state,
and it appears that any attempt
to give the same to other states
will meet with opposition from
many sources. 1t appears natu-
raj that opposition should arise
when statements are made that
our natural gas will be piped to
other states for their benefit, and
to their advantage. There is this
feature however that we have
had considerable time in which
to take advantage of it, and it
would look in a manner, unrea-
sonabie, that If we will not axii
ourselves of the asset that those
who own and have the gas should
be denied the right to secure a
market, if the opportunity pre-
sents for them to secure the
same. The State Conservation
Commission is empathic in its DO
sition however, that the
State has the first call on the

Insult To The
Boys Who Stood Up.

The Vice Commander of thc
American Legion rightfully, and
appropriately took exception,
and resented the insult offered
the boys who stood for our
rights, while reformers who fur
ther restricted our liberties and
privileges, urged and egged pro-
hlbltlon officers to secure an in
Junction against saloons selling Ii
quor for the preent week in New
Orleans. There have been conven
tons after conventions in New
Orleans, and that the prohibi-
ton department should have
found it necessary to secure this
injunction, at this time, is small,
and humiliating to all real pa
trIots, to say the least. IF the de-
partment furnished the necessa-,
ry affidavit to secure an iniunc-
tIen. and If the injunction was Ill
reeted at thirty seven saloon
Keepers, the natura thing
would appear to be to make char
ges against the saloon keepers to
whem the injunction was direc-
ted, instead Of employing such
marsh anG Severe methods. Even
in its enforcement prohibition is
ridiculous and inconsistent.

started in the building with a
view of installing therein the ma
ichinery going to make up the
new unit for the electric plant.
The foundations are being built.
some of the steel parts have ar
rived, and from day to day some
thing new arrives. 1t will be ne
cessary to sink the pumps, the
electric pumps, connected with
the water works to a lower le-
vel with a view to complying
with regulations required and to
render better service. When the
improvements shall have been
completed, and the capacity of
the plant increased the amolnt of
electricity to be furnished will be
such as to avoid the inconvenien-
ces sometimes experienced when
emergencies arise. For that rea-
son it can be anticipated that a
bit of Inconvenience can be ex-
pected during the progress of the
work. With the contemplated inn
provements in shape, it is esti-
mated that the plant will then
be in position to supply any>and
