Covernor Fletcher, In an executive message this afternoon, transmitted to the (ieneral Assembly the opinion of tin- supreme court in regard to the right of tho public service commission over mu nicipal charters. The opinion ot the court is as follows: in reply to your leiiulreiiient ot our opinion as to the constitutionality of No. lir, acts of 1910, entitle 1 "An act relating to the Incorporation of vil lages and the amendment of city and village charters." we have fae honor to submit the following. It is a maxim of the , 0111111011 law that a delegated authority cannot, without permission, be delegated by the person to whom it Is given if that authoiltv involves a trust and requires tin exercise of the Judgment and discretion of such person in Its execution J'hls maxim Is applicable here, for the power exercised by the Legislature Is the people's power, delegated to It by the people in the constitution of the Slate, which expressly foninilts to the Legisla ture the power to constitute towns, boroughs, cities and enmities." This power Is essentially a trut, and require.- the exercise nf Judgment and discretion In Its exi-utlmi. and no authority Is given to deleral,. It. The Legislature must. thereto! e. exercise Its own I'ldirment and Hi-eietlon In Its execution as far as p(c"ai'.v to dK-ehnige the personal trust committed 10 It This, however. Is not saying that the I "-Islnture can delegate nothing coneei nlnu this matter, for there are undoubtedlv some things pertaining to It that the Legislature can delegate. Out we are not railed upon to draw the line between the di leguble and tile non delegable, nor to suggest a way In which the desideratum of a general law for tile Incoi poratlon of villages can be attained. Testing the art by the general prin ciple above staled, wo think 't rocs too far when It leaves to tho commis sion to determine the plan and frame, of government of the proposed village, what powers and functions It may ex ercise; and what shall be the flmlt of Its expenditures and indebtedness, for these are questions of legislative Judg ment and discretion, and thereforo their determination cannot bo dele gated N'or Is this objection obviated R to powers and functions by limit InsT them to specific things as is done in the eleventh section of the net, for It Is still left to tho commission to de termine In Its discretion what of tin powers and functions It will confe In the particular ease. We think that sections twelve and thirteen of the act are constitutional They apply to villages only ytfler thev are ehnrteied. and have nothing to do with the constitution of villages under tho net. Their purpose Is to provide way for taking land by tho right of eminent domain, and are entirely sepnrabln from tho rest of tho act, and ho may stand though the rest falls. Ah to tho rest of the act, even though somn of Its provisions may be gisid, yet all are so connected and Joined together, and form such u unified scheme, thnt tho good, If any thero Is, must fall with the bad. So ve think the entire net un ciitrlturUnal ttcept ieetioft vivo ana thlrtfi. JOHN W. ftQWRt.L, Cl'lef JnflJ. JiUlnnd Mufison John 11 Wnlson Seneca Ilfuelion, (iorgo SI.

HIGHER SALARIES REFUSED Senate Rejects Measure to In crease Pay of State Prison and House of Correc tion Officials. Montpelier, Jan. 1.. Seats were at a premium In the Mouse this afternoon "lien 11. M. relating to poll taxes and the light of municipal suffrage, (the unman suffrage bill), camo up as a spi 1 lal older. There was a large number of ladles preent, some of them having been verv active In their efforts to have the bill passed. Consideration of the bill occupied the greater part of the after noon and two roll calls were had, one on nn amendment and one on the question of ordering the bill to a third reading. The bill was killed by a vote of 1 1S to 67. It has frequently happened In the past that a woman suffrage bill has been passi d by the House with the assurance that It would be killed In the Senate; but the Senate has already passed Judg ment on the general proposal by Its action on Senator Darling's bill and tho house seemed to believe that I must go on tecoril arcordlng to Its own Judgment. The afternoon was one of oratory and this was only squelched by the motion of Mr. llowiey of IturlliiRton that debate be closed.

When S. , 1 elating to the salaries of of fliers of penal Institutions, was called up, Sir.

HAWDI'iVr HILL PASSHD. Hniiso bill HI. known as tho sawdust bill, an act to prevent the pollution ot streams, occupied tlm utluntlun of the House for a large part of the morning session. Tho principal merits ot the bill nre thnt It prevents damage to lands be low a mill where sawdust Is thrown Into (he river, and that It prevents tho de structlon of the spawning beds of trout. There was a wide divergence of opinion, as evidenced by the discussion, even be tween mill men and fishermen, but the bill was favnteii by a Inrge majority. The motion to dismiss was lost by a vote 121 to T(i. The bill was passed. Three requests were made for con ference committees to-ijiy, two by the Senate and one by the House. The Senate refused to a crept tho House amendments to tho bill providing for continuing an investigation ot the wa ter supply, whereby tho appropriation Is cut from Jle"0 to Jl.nua, and on 11. 142, relating to the duties of road com missioner. The latter measure has reference to the cutting of bushes be side tho highways, and In the opinion of some senators would leave the mat ter In such a condition that no one would have authi rlty to cut these bushes or the money to pay for It. The Houie lefused to recede fr(m its amendment!! to S. l.'iti, relating to the denth penults and asked for a com mitter of conference. S. 111, providing for a primary elec tion system, was called up in the Sen ate this morning and on motion of Sir.

SPEECHES SELDOM EXCELLED Balfour Concludes "If Blood Be Spilled, Real Assassins Thoso Who Dare Not Face Situation." London, Jan. IS. The home rule bill stnrted on Its final stage In the Hnuso of Commons tn-da. and the occasion was mark'il by two speeches seldom ex celled In the House, by the prime mln Islir. Herbeit II. Asqulth, nnd .Mr. Unl four. the former b-.-nler of the opposi tion. other spr niters, representing ill par ties, followi d and the debate finally was adjourned until to-morrow when a division will In- laken. The bltterii"ss which bills 01 a similar natuie arousul In the past was largely absent In the discussion to-day, hat with thr harder hitters- on the program for to-morrow this may not be continued. When tile orders of the day were call ed and Sir. Halfour at the lequest of the opposition lender. Andrew Ilonur Law, moved the ree tlon of the meas ure, the House was crowded to Its capa city. Sir. I'.alfour. while not so fluent as the prime minister, delivered one of those spi eehes for which he In fainoim and whli h rouses his supporters to guat tnLiusi.Lsin. He dealt with the bill in a general way and In the rase of l ister, likened It to that of the American colonies be fore the Revolution. Pointing finger at the government bench Halfour concluded. ''If blood his Sir. be spilled, which God forbid, the real as sassins will be those who have never had the courage to face the situation." Premier Asqulth defended tho bill from every standpoint. He pleaded with tho House to forget Hie nast and give Ireland what the vast majority demanded. He laid stress on the safe guards Introduced In the bill to pro vent protestants fioui being oppressed by the mnjoiitv, anil repeated tile gov ernment's offer to insert any other reasonable safrguanls, If only the op Position would toll what was wanted. The unionism and liberals continued the debate until after dinner, when T. I. O'Connor gave the bill his bless ing in behalf of the nationalists. The Hon. Thomas C. R. Agar-Robarter was one of the two liberals opposing the measure. William O'Rrien, leader ol the Indepen dent nationalists, criticised sum- of tlm provisions of the bill and said that while, he could not accept It as a. final settle ment ot the nationalists' lequln-ments, they regarded It as a sincere and cou rageous message nf peace to lieland. The laborltcs' adhesion to home rule was declared by James Parker, sitting for Halifax. The Rt. Hon. James Henry Campbell, postmaster-general, who had charge of the financial provisions of the bill, de f -nihil them at length.
