Short Weights and Measures.

A news report of the state fair at
White River Junction last week
says
zone of the interesting exhibits
and one that calls for all kinds OF
favorable comments is being made
by Fl. w. Clement of Rutland, chair
man of the weights and measures
committee, appointed by Governor
Prouty last June to make an investi-
CATION of weights in Vermont. Mr..
Clements work has certainly re-
vealed some surprising conditions.
In the exhibition which he makes is
shown a five pound sack of sugar,
purchased at Vermont store, that
actually weighs four pounds and
five ounces, and another sack sup
posed to weigh five pounds, tips the
scales at four pounds and four
ounces Breakfast foods, bacon in
glass cans, picture frame wire and
a large number of other articles are
shown to be under weight or short
in length. Mr.. Clement will have a
bill introduced in the-legislature this
session seeking to control and remedy
short weights
The article speaks for itself and
shows the Importance of Vermonters
giving this matter serious attention
during the coming session of the
legislature. All the people ask is a
square deal and they certainly are
entitled to that much and we are
confident they will get it this fall.

prosecution of the American Sugar
Refining company officials and en-
ployes growing out of the extensive
underweighing frauds on the Will
liamsburg docks of the trust, brought
to light by Richard PARIS famous
raid on the docks in 1907. Four
weighers for the company and Oliver
Splitter, their dock boss, were con-
yicted on the first criminal trial in
connection with the frauds and the
weighers are still serving out their
sentence of a year in the Blackwell's
island penitentiary. Splitter, who was
sentenced to two years in the Atlanta
penitentiary, was pardoned during
the trial of Heike and Ernest w.
Gerbratch, the refinery superintend-
ent, and four minor employees of the
company for conspiracy. He turned
states evidence and his testimony
played an important part in the con-
viction of Heike, Gebracht and the
clerks found to have been implicated
in the fraud. The sugar trust,
meanwhile, has paid the government
more than $2,00O,O00 out of which
it was shown the customs had been
defrauded by the underweighing
operations. This work by the lower
federal courts is new assurance that
the department of justice is no re-
spector of persons and should be
strong force in relieving the public
from further frauds by large ag-
gregations of wealth and capital.

jury by accident lies upon the
is the case, then why are not acct
dents more frequent? If the en-
ployer fails in his duty and makes
use of dangerous tools of whatever
kind, then the accidents will reach
a great many more workmen than
are now hurt In such case the en-
ployer might be held liable for all
injuries But that is nowhere the
case. 1t then follows, that If only
a small number of employees are
hurt, there must be some fault in
those who do get hurt or killed.
IT follows then that if proportion
of workmen are careless there is rea-
son in the idea that part of the losses
should be paid by the workmen.
Moreover, there have been known
cases where men nave sought hurts
for the purpose of getting damages.
Such cases, however, may be dis
missed as neglible. The case for
compensation for injured workmen
then should stand on the degree of
responsibility which may be found to
fall on each side, so that both should
take heed that the men shall ex-
erciee care and the machines and
tools shall be as perfect as can be.
When the liability is divided and
placed on DOLn S1deS dcclueutS VIII
come close to their end.
It. is our opinion, therefore, that
employers should not pay all losses
of that kind but that the workmen's
societies should stand part of them.
The simpler way would be to insure
all workmen on their earning capa-
city, and provide by law that the
employer shall pay his proper per-
centage of the costs and the work
man or his society pay his share.
This would be the simple way. It
would avoid suits to find out whether
the victim was grossly careless or
not, or the state collection method.
The difficulty would meet us in try
ing to arrive at a fair basis between
employer and employee. The en-
ployer probably should carry the
largest share of the cost, but how
much - Burlington News.

clined in agriculture, it increased in
manufacturing activity. Today its
life is z 5 per cent industrial and q
tremendous urban expansion has
drained the country of much of its
best blood. But the law of supply
and demand is beginning to drive the
New Highlander back to his farm and
I predict that Is years more will
see 80 per cent to 90 per cent of the
meat consumed in Boston, for in
stance, raised on farms of New Eng
land Perhaps not as high a pro-
portion will prevail in the case of
grain and cereal crops, but the pro-
portion will be considerable and New
England will have, as a result, a de-
gree of economic independence not
dreamed possible today.
'3The soil of New England is not
nearly as barren as most people have
been led to believe. 1t takes time,
patience, money and brains to get
the crops, but they can be secured
and present prices are a standing in
vitation to every young New Eng
land man to stay on the land and
wrestle with wealth at first hand. -

A Needless BIotch.

At the state laboratory of by
giene 124 samples of milk and
cream were examined and nineteen
specimens we're found below stand
ard. OF these all but one were des-
ignated as "dirty," very dirty or
extremely dirty" These are defects
that could be very easily remedied
by care on the part of the milk pro-
ducers and if they were remedied
would remove very serious blotch
on the reputation of Vermont dairy
products. 1t would seem to be a
good business move for the progress
sive farmers of Vermont to organize
so they could bring these few deiin-
quents up to standard and make all
Vermont milk and butter reproach-
less on the matter of cleanliness.
Remember, Mr. Farmer, that the
poor goods of your neighbor sold
in the same lot as yours reduces the
price of your good products.

Reing Frank With Voters.

The republican nominee for gov
ernor of New Hampshire, Robert P.
Bass of Peterboro, has just filed an
itemized statement of his pre-con-
vention expense account with the
secretary of state, in which he takes
oath that $1,461.78 represents his
entire expenditure. The items, as
enumerated by Mr.. Bass, are much
the same as were shown by the state
ment issued by Frederick G. Fleet
wood after his unsuccessful campaign
for the Vermont governorship, and
are reasonable expenditures in
campaign of such magnitude as Mr..
Bass was obliged to make. Much as
they would like to have our governor
elect file a statement of his ex-
penses, the people of Vermont are
probably destined to disappointment,
for DR.. Mead has not deviated from
his position of stolid Indifference to
the request of the public through the
newspapers, going through conven-
ton and election without complying;
and it is almost certain now that he
will not break his silence on the mat
ter. By another two years it is likely
that the filing of campaign expendi-
lures will be obligatory in Vermont.

NEW ENGLAND'S AGRICULTURAL
RENAISSANCE.
President Vail Prophesies Returning
Greatness to New England's
Agricultural Communities.

Boston-One of the great believers
in the agricultural future Of New
England is President Vail of the
American Telephone Co., who both
by precept and example has endea-
vored to show what results are pos
sible through the application of CAPT
tai, technical skill and business abil-
ity to the supposedly impoverished
soil of New England.
He saws: 81 foresee a decided re-
vival in the agricultural activities
of New England in the next ten
years. slight survey of the eco
nomic history of the United States
makes clear how natural and lnev1-
table this development is.
'sUntil within a generation the de-
velopment of the West was almost
entirely along the lines of an increase
in production of food supplies. The
great ranches produced meat at a
nominal cost and the great prairie
states grew grain at cost with
which the East in its restricted ar
able areas could not compete. With
in a generation this has commenced
to change.
"This western expansion has con-
tinued until all the fertile lands have
been taken up and the great ranches
fenced into farms, while the young
men of the West are emigrating to
Canada, as did their fathers before
them, from the middle West.
"The production of food supplies
in the trans-M Mississippi West ex-
cept by Improvement in method, has
ceased to increase, while in that
same section within the last few years
the development of consumption by
workers in other industries has COM
| menced. Cities are growing; in
dustria1 occupations other than ag-
ricultural, are increasing. and with
the great consumption of the East
| the food production and consumption
| of the United States will soon come
| to practical parity.
This is what is to give New Eng
land it's agricultural opportunity. In
fact, the opportunity is a present
one for at present prices all that
| can be raised can be sold at pro-
fit
cit takes but little reflection to
show how important this develop
ment is to be. AS New England de
