meeting was adjourned subject to the
call of Chairman Decker.
By a divided court three to two the
legality of the Vermont public service
commission was established in an opin
ion handed down in the Vermont
supreme court at Montpelier to-day, the
opinion adding a very important chap-
ter to the railroad history of the state.
Judge Seneca Hazelton read the ma
jority opinion, and Judge George M
Powers read the dissenting opinion
reached by himself and Judge John H,
Watson.
The case grew out of the appeal of
the Kutlaud railroad on the order of the
public service commission in the case of
Sabre et al vs. Rutland railroad in
Grand Isle county. The com mission or
dered the placing of a flagman at a
crossing in Alburg, and the Rutland
railroad entered an appeal from the or
der, declaring that the public service
commission was an illegal board and was
exercising unconstitutional powers, ad
ministrative, judicial and legislative.
The majority opinion of the court,
subscribed to by Judges llaselton, John
W. Rowell anil Loveland Munson, as
serts that the 'commission has certain
administrative powers, is clothed with
quasi-judicial powers but is not a court;
that it has auxiliary legislative power
but not in violation of the constitution
but general to make the government ef
ficient. - i
The dissenting opinion of Judg.-s
Powers and Watson is an exhaustive
document, calling attention in particu
lar to a comparison between the Ver
mont public service commission and the
L'. S. interstate commerce commission
and that in the decision of the latter
they did not have legislative powers
The opinion declared that legislative
functions cannot be changed but always
must remain the same. If the pow
ers could be conferred on the public
service commission, the same powers
could be conferred on the state
board of health, the state board of
pharmacy, th cattle commission and
the - horse doefors, '--The commission; -i
held, wasi being invested with owrs of
the supreme court -itself.
The reading of these two opinions oc
cupied the entire time of the forenoon
session of the court. The result is of
great importance liecause matters of
legislation have been held up at the
present term of the legislature because
of the uncertainty regarding the rights
of the public service commission.

further. State a ..Attorney Ladd prob
ably will be able to take up the case at
that time. - -.-
When the inquest is resumed it will
be before Judge Post in St. Albans city

returnable. Active work for the defense
has been taken up by her counsel, S. S.

grand jury find a true bill and the case
be brought to trial in county court, it

court would order the woman to the

the passage of the bill.

one of the strongest .speeches of the ses
sion when Ije spoke about ten minutes
in support of the. bill. He quoted fig
ures to show that the abolition of the
death penalty in various states has res
ulted in an increase of crime.
Mr. Cook of Lyndon opposed the bill
fin the ground that the option allows
jurymen to decide between first and sec
ond degree murder. This option, he
thought, would result in weakening t'w
present capital punishment law. Mr.
Hulett of Rutland City favored. the
minority report.
Mr. Adams of Marlboro favored the
bill, and Mr. Taft of Townshend to;k
the Mime stand, while Mr. Locke of Bar

the minority report or, in other words,
the passage of the bill Mr. Jose of

arguments, Mr. Martin of Bennington,
Mr. Comings of Richford optmsing the.
measure, and Mr. Ware of Wilmington,

"Small Man. "
Bethel, Vt, Jan. fith, 1913.
The Editor,

Dear Sir:
I was very much interested in your
extracts from President-elect Wilson's
article "Pearls of Revolution" in last
Friday's iss;e of your paper. I hearti
ly agree wit'i him in regard to the-evils
of the big trusts. It is a fact that
they do interfere with competition, but
it may be interesting to your readers
to know that the big trusts are not the
greatest evils which beset the paths of
the small firms in this country. The
amount of suffering caused by the trust
is nothing compared with that caused
by the fellow who is tardy in paying his
bills. This one practice of "slow pay
ing" puts more small firms out of bus
iness than all the o trier evils combined.
There is also a class of men, which
for want of a better name I will call
"petty thieves'' who take advantage of

thought all necessary safeguards were

entagled in the tow rope of the two

One twist of the heavy rope sufficed to

at a fair rate of speed, it looked as
though a serious accident would follow.
Help, in the shape of a white-coated
waiter from a nearby restaurant, was
presently at hand, however, and the
