terated maple sugar accredited to YER

pany of Stoweton, VI. There is a dealer
in Somerville, Mass, who sells what he
calls Pure Green Mountain Vermont Ma
pie Syrup The State board finds that
all four Of these maple sugars purport-
ing to come from Vermont contain large
admixtures of refined cane sugar syrup.
The average Vermonter would ask for
particulars Of the Vermont Maple SUI
gar company of Stoweton. VT. which is
exposing for sale Vermont maple sugar
containing a percentage of cane sugar
syrup. Whether the imposition origin
atcd in Massachusetts or in this State,
it is Vermont which suffers through the
merchandising OF an inferior article I'M

II we had a commission authorized
to run down frauds on the public at the
expense of the State. there would be work
enough for several experts. -Four deal
ers were convicted in Massachusetts OF
selling adulterated maple sugar during
the week covered by the report referred
to above. Cannot our authorities CO.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION
Hrom the Hardwick GazetteD

The suggestion OF an exchange that
right now. when the State is being more
or less stirred up over the investigation
of State institutions, is a good time for
the newspapers to agitate the passage Of
II legislative act making It necessary to
appoint one member at least of each
State board from the minority party
meets our approval. The Gazette has
been called foolish and worse for saying
from time to time that Vermont is too
one sided politically for her own good.
but still holds to that opinion. The same
principle is involved in this question.
Minority party representation on the
various boards and commissions that have
the direct management Of our asyluMs.
penal and disciplinary institutions would
mark distinct advance step in our
State government. The minority might
never have occasion to object to any plan
or policy of the majority, but the minor
ity member could act AZ a sort of safety
valve. and might prove of immense value
to the engine Of state. This proposition
will bear discussion.
