House Discusses the Cattle
Commission Bill But
Does Not Vote.
LICENSE BILLS DELAYED.
Senate Decided to Give Committee An
other Chance to Get Together before
Opening the Discussion Action in
the House May Be Delayed by the
Cattle Bill Hinted That Fish and
Game Committee in the Senate Are
Trying to Thwart People's Will Re
garding Trout Fishing Some Small
Town Legislation
Session of the House.
Monlpeller, Nov. 19. This has been a
day of oratory nt the State house. Tho
House combined business with pleasure,
putting iu a good forenoon's work, tak
ing In this afternoon the excursion to
the Barre quarries given by the Barro
Quarrynien's association, and holding a
session this evening to make up for lost
time.
The flow of oratory In the House started
in soon after the opening hour this morn
ing when tlv House bill Introduced by
Mr. Clapp of Barre town was under con
sideration which provides for taxing
reservoirs, aqueducts and pipes of town
anil city water works. This was another
measure wheteby the smaller towns had
an opportunity to impose upon the large
towns and cities in the mnttT of taxation.
Mr. O'Siilllvan of St. Albans city at
tempted to taek on an Amendment which
would eliminate some of the objectionable
features of the bill and 't was further
opposed by Mr. Pape of Harre city. Mr.
Dlseon nf llarelwick anil Mr. Peck of
Brandon. Mr. Busell of Btilland town.
Mr. Terrln of Berlin and Mr. Clapp of
Barre town favored the bill which th.ally
on motion of Mr. Simpson of Sheffield was
dismissed.
Senate bill No. I Introiliieeil by Senator
IJiisell providing for the eM 'hll-dimont of
a cattle commission nnd defining Its pow
ers and duties was taken up in the House
a a sprelal order, debated until tho noon
adionrninent and ncain made a special
older for Thursday morning at
o'clock. This gives lis precedence over
the high license hill which Is made a
special order at 10 o'clock that morning.
It is very probable the discussion of the
commission bill and vote on the same will
consume the entire morning session. It ls
understood that a dozen or more members
of the Houe yet wish to be heard on this
question. The farmers In the House) seem
to be almost hopelessly divided on this bill
or at least nenrly as closely divided as
was the committee on agriculture which
reported the bill favorably by one major
ity. A synopsis of the debate on this bill
this morning may be found In tho official
report of the He use. Perhaps tho most ef
fective arguments In favor of the hill and
against the cattle commission and its pow
ers as now constituted wvro made by Mr.
Douglass ot Wllllston and Mr. Abbey of
Lsscx. Mr. Abbey graphically described
the manner in which the prize herds of
Chittenden county had been slaughtered
by the cattle commission and the conse
qucnt loss end suffering of the owners ot
the cattle. He said that since tho ling was
bred on at Fort Sumpter he had never seen
such an uprising among tho people nf
Chittenden county, nnd not alone among
the farmers, as he saw after tho cattlo
commissioners had begun their rlendly
work In Wllllston and other towns. Repu
table men who stand high In that com
munity and who had occupied scats In
erinnnt halls of legislation were ready at
that time to arm themselves nnd to enlist
for foicible protection of their property.
Tho question became a political issue in
that county in electing delegates to the
Slate and county convention and In tho
election of members ot tho Houso anil
Senate. Mr. Abbey spoko for three quar
ters of an hour nnd was given the closest
attention, nut only by members of tho
house but by spocMtorswho crovvdcel every
inch of tho floor, lobby and gallery.
ihe House adjourned shortly before
noon until seven o'clock this evening,
Before ailjnurnineiut Speaker Merrilleld
announieel tlie appointment of Mr, Fish
of Iloyalton, Mr. Conlnnd of Brattleboro
and Mr, Peck of nranelon a committee)

Charles Doherty and Frederick Eastwood.
The Senate this morning reconsidered
lis voto ordering to a third reading the
bill shot tenlng the open season for trout
and repealing tho six inch law nnd the
bill was recommitted to the committee
on game nnd fisheries, It Is hinted that
this eMiniiulllee Intends to pigeon holo the
bill, but the friends of the measuro do
not Intend lo allow this to he done.
The Sennte had quite a discussion nn
the bill prohibiting drawing seines in
Mnlletls Hay and without taking nnv
definite, action on thf bill It was ordered
to Ho.
Senator Nelson presented the report
of the committee on State prison, which
wns orderd to Ho and be printed. This
committee reported that they found every
thing nt the prison In apparent good or
der nnd that the entire management of
the prison Is a credit to Superintendent
Oakes nnd his assistants, They found
there 1.7) prisoners, 15 of whom nro wom
en, and that the general henlth of the
prisoners Is good. The committee roe
oinmenils an appropriation of $12,00) for
replerlng the present wooden walk and

which Is unsafe, with a modern Iron
railing, and for the erection of n suitable
building for a hospital, wide h shall have

dred dollars per year for his services.
When the Senate went In nt two o'clock
this afternoon the high license-local op
tion bill, reported by a majority of the
Joint committee on temperance was taken
up as a special order. Senator Itusell
moved that the bill again bo ordered to
lie and be made a special order lor Thurs
day afternoon at two o'clock. This mo
tion was oppo.-ed by Sei.ntor Sutton and
favored by Senators F.niery, Stiles and
Spencer. After n flvcmlnute discussion
the bill was ordered to lie. The explana
tion ot Senator ICmery that If another 21
hours Is granted an amicable settlement
of pending ellffcultles on liquor legisla
tion may be effected, carried weigh' anil
only four votes were heard In opposition
to Senator RuseH's motion.
The Senate this afternoon passed the
Mouse bill prohibiting seining In Malleus
Bay. with a proposal of amendment of
feree! by Senator CnrttuHl that seining
In all waters on the Vermont side for
the entire length of Lake Champlaln be
prohibited,
The bill authorizing the city of Burling
ton to erect a soldiers' monument and to
bond for tint purpose was ordered to a
third reading.
The Senate slaughtered the House bill
Introduced by Mr. Goodhue of Westmin

according to the amount nf s. hool tax
raised. The flavor of ol,is legislation
which clung to this measure was tho
cause of Its death.

SCHOOL TAX BILL KILLED.
H. 2.10, relating to distribution of Stato
school tax taken from table at request of
r-inator vv albiielge. bona tor Walbridgo
explained that tho bill nronosos to throw
inlliienco towards making fewer small
schools. Original bill proposed to divide
tiix iu propoitlon to number of schools
In each town. This is changed so that
$15,000 ol proceeds of tax, about 5 per cent
of the whole will go according to amount
of school tax raised In each town. The
higher the tax the more the towns will
get. Senator Grave's oposed the bill as
tending to butt small schools that aro
necessarily kept running. S nator war
bridge said another committee bill woulel
eln away with that trouble he thought by
providing for carrying of pupils to larger
schools. Senator Jackson (Lamoille)
thought the law for carrying pupils is
tending to depopulate the back districts
because people won't Uvh so far from
schools that their scholars havu to be
carried. Senator Graves thought carry

trallzed Is Impracticable'. Tho voto re
suited yeas 9, nays 20. Bill killed.

DISMISSED.
II. amending statute relating to ex
emption of property hold for public uses.
.Mr. O'Siilllvan of St. Albans city said
this bill should bo studied carefully and
some of Its features eliminated. It would
operate to the Injury ot tho largo towns.
When reservoirs aro built outside the
towns which own thorn. vnllc it is tight
that the land should be taxed there, it
does not seem right Hint tho Improve
ments should be taxed by the towns In
which the reservoirs are located. Ho of
feied an amendment in lino with bis
suggestion, which was agreed to. A sec
onel amendment exempting water rights
was opposeel by Mr. Adams of Marlboro,
who urged that such rights might be
valuable to the towns where located. Ills
suggestion was aceeptcd by Mr. O'Siil
llvan and, by a vote of 50 to 32, water
rights wero excluded from tho ex
emptions.
Mr. OMillivan offered another amend
ment striking out "reservoirs, aqueducts
and pipes."
Mr. Russell of Rutland town opposed.
citing the case of lus own town, In which
the city of Rutland has Its reservoir.
Mr. Adams also opposed tho amendment
) It reael.
Mr. O'SulIlvan defended the amendment,
admitting that all tho natural values
should continue taxable in the towns
where located, but not the improvements.
He hoped the small towns would bo con
siderate.
Mr. Pcrrin of Berlin said .that city
water systems wore very profitable, and
could well afford to pay taxes.
Mr. Davis of Proctor said this was an
exceptional case. It Is a settled policy that
public Institutions should not be taxed.
.Mr. Russell did not think it rlorbt for
the city of Rutland to coma Into his
town und take property out of the grand
St.
Mr. Clapp of Barro town, introducer of
the bill, salel the proposed chances wore
acceptable lo him.
Mr. Perrln of Berlin said the Montpel
ler water system h.ul taken from Berlin's
grand list more than the tax proposed.
.Mr. Papo of Barre city hoped the small
towns would not take this step and that
the amendment would prevail.
Mr. Ayers of Svvauton thought that In
view of recent court decisions tlie amend
ment, as worded, would bo meftectlvo.
Ho opposed the bill itself.
Mr. Adams's amendment letalnlng the
provision that "improvements thereon"
should be taxed c.eriied, tei to Gl; also .Mr.
O'Sulhvan's llnal amendment as above.
Mr. Dixon of Hardwick opposed tho
bill He thought tho whole system of so
limiting exemptions of property held for
public, pious und chailtablo purpose was
wrong.
Mr. Peck of Brandon agreed with tho
last speakor. He objected to the whole
policy of the measure, ridiculing tho idea
ot taxing such properties. He criticised
the small towns for the spirit shown.
Mr. Clapp of Bat re town said that
water systems were In many cases thu
source of loss and Injury In towns where
located, anil tho cities and towns bene
filed should make it good.
Mr. Russell again spoke for tho bill.
Mr. Simpson of Sheffield said that
wiillo ho was from a small town ho be
hoved in giving the public its water un
hampered. Hu moved that the bill bo
dismissed. The motion prevailed, yeas lot,

SPECIAL ORDER CATTLE COMMIS
SION,
S. I. cattlo commission bill, taken up ns
n special order. Mr. Dunklee of eriion
presented the minority report of the com,
initteu representing farmers in town
vvheio some ti.OOO head of cattle have been
tested as against somo l.t3 head tested
In towns represented by the majoilty ro
port of the committee. He sustained tho
work of the commission in vviiusiou and
elsewhere. He discussed the proposed
make-up of the commission and tavorcd
a substantial representation of tlio farm
ers on tho board, and wanted a compul
sory test provided for. lie thought the
bill was incomplete, and that It tooK
necessary power from tho commission
and opened the way to the spread ot thu
disease instead ot curtailing. 'Jlo attack
ed the componsat'on provision as unsatis
factory, and thought the importation niut
sale of diseased animals were not suffi
ciently guarded, since no provision was
made for gottlng concluslva evidence of
the existence) or absence of the tuber
culosls germ.
Mr. Allen of Brookfleld stood with the
minority and luged the utmost care In
stamping out this disease. Ho favorcel
the compulsory list anil giving tho com
mission more power. He bell'vcs that
rutting out the compulsoiy test would en
danger Ihe creanieiie.
Mr. Birr of Mount Holly nld the mat
ter had been very fully discussed in coin
mllteo and the majority felt thit this bill
was a just one.
Mr. Kendall of West Windsor thought
the piescot law was not effective In era
dlcatlnir tlie disease, and favored the bill
under lonsiiler.itlon as piovidiuc all the
safeguards that could be asked for. He
saw no other basis for "actual value"
than Hi" basis of health. Tho bill Is just
wh'.t the people ol the State waul, and
gives them ample piotec lion. The next
Legislature can remedy uny defects tliut
may crop out In the next two ycirs.
Mr, Douglass of Wllllston thought this
bill n compromise between supporters and
opponents of the present system. He
described and criticised tlio course) of the
boaid in his town. The same privilege
Is left to those who believe In tho tuber
culin test, but spares those who do not.
Massachusetts has mnde a failure of tlio
compulsory test and abandoned It. Con
ncctlcul is dlssutlsileld. He objected to
the decree of power placed in the hands
of tho commission. He read from the
Hartford Couratit und Noithlleld News In
support of his views An extract front
