A Will % the WiSp
Is What the Maple Sugar Bounty Seems
Likely to Prove.


From the Burlington Free Press.
The Vermont maple sugar makers have hardly
had time to begin to feel happy over the prospect
of receiving the bounty due them under the Nc
Kiney law. amounting to sos, 600 or S75 600, when
word comes that they may not receive their
money for some time. even if it is paid to them
at all. In the first place il appears that benef-
Charles under the S50O0.0OO appropriation for
sugar bOunties cannot receive a single cent until
after July when the new fiscal year begins, in
asmuch as the appropriation was not made inn
mediately available
IL also transpires that the appropriation is
81 900 600 less than will be required 10 pay
eight tenths of cent per pound as is provided
by the act so that It will be necessary To pay all
| claims pro rata. This Will r-duce each man S
| claim onesiNth.
The most discouraging feature about the pros
| pect before the sugar-makers, however, Is the
possibility that they may be obliged TO fight IN
| the courts for the bounty due them. IL Is limited
| that the comptroller of the treasury may ques-
! ton the legality of the appropriation and thus
| compel the bounty claimants to take their claims
| into the Federal courts of the District of Column
! bia which have already declared their belief that
! the bounty unconstitutional.
| Another difficulty with which Vermont maple
| sugar producers must contend is the fact that
| large amounts of bounty claims on southern
sugar have been bought by spectators at very
low rates owing to the prospect which prevailed
| at time that no attempt would be made &c
| pay the bounty. IL is stated that some Of these
| claims have been sold as low as 20 cents on a dol
| lar The possession of these claims by specula
tors TO so large an extent wi handicap the cause
| of the genuine sugar men, and increase the diff
Guilty of securing payment of their claims
