Another subject discussed by Mr.. Bell
was the way in which people are being
defrauded through the substitution of
spurious and adultcratcd food products
for genuine goods. and he advocated leg
islation to protect both the producer and
the consumer Mr.. BELL also spoke Of the
need of closer scrutiny of State expendi-
lures suggesting various ways in which
more rigid economy might be brought
about to the advantage of the taxpayers
without injurinS the interests of the
State.
Mr., Bell probably depends to quite an

support and no one Will question his

Without prejudice in the matter. We
are bound to suggest that if the farmers
wish to obtain the best results for them
selves in the next legislature. they will
concentrate their political efforts to OBJ

who are pledged to work for the inter

CTrom the Vermont Tribunc)

! Vermont needs reform to-day. There
are evils in her civic economy as deplor-
able as the hypOCriSi,S and CorIuptionS
of state prohibition, there is the party
pledge of caucus legislation yet unrcdcem-
ed. there are many things that need re-
form, many abuses that need correct
ing
The Tribune has no wish to pose as
n party dictator, but any newspaper or
citizen is justified in suggesting prop
er and necessary action to the leaders
of the party. especially as tentative
notice has been served up on them that
n failure to read accurately the signs
of the times means Il repetition of the
broilS and quarrols of 1902. And So we
consider calmly the following details Of
oar manifest duty:
First. q prompt and frank admission
of failure as to caucus reform and a
plank that covers the situation cicanly
ana beyond criticism. Let the people un-
dcrstanl that the party means business
and that the iucXcusablo NEGLECT of 1902 5
L"eisltturo will be repaired IN 1901
Then SOM assurance must be given
rs to the local option law. No one be-
lieVcs that it has as yet had Il fair trial
and practically both sides of the qucs-
tiOn, lrohibiti0nsts and license advocates
are united as to the Justice of letting
alone the main plovi~iors of he pres
Cut law. The question Of amending the
secCnd-class lie ems" provisions comes more
properly into the province OF the Legs
lature.
Reduction of State expenses: This
item. II honestly considered by the party
ana intelligontly followed by fearless leg
iSation. is a feature Of far-rcachng and
incstimablo importance. II is impossible
