for existence in all parts of the coun-
try. At present the people seem to
be helpless, and the beef barons are
plainly determined that refrain ing
from meat shall not prove to be a
means of forcing them to lower prices.
They have all the machinery ready
for handling all kinds OF products
and have thus great advantage.
Under these circumstances the peo-
pie will naturally turn to the idea Of
government control of corporations
and supervision of cold storage sys-
tens for protection. Publicity struck
vital blow to the cornering system
in New Jersey. and publicity as to the
supply OF food products in stock will
prevent the manipulation OF prices.
Or. Harvey Wiley. chief of the
bureau OF chemistry at Washington,
mas already predicted federal regula-
ton Of cold storage plants. and the
beef barons are plainly fastening the
.iine when that prediction will be
fulfilled.

VERMoNTs CORPORATION LAW.

The steady issue of new companies.
organized under the laws Of Maine to
do business In Vermont. is a shocking
testimony to the imperfect laws under
which In corporation must take place in
Vermont There never was more I'm
minent commercial need in this State
than general Incorporation law, which
would permit capital to do business here.
under proper and sufficient restraint and
supervision. An early consideration Of
such bill Is one OF the duties OF the
State"-Rutland Herald.
It Is doubtful II Vermont is ready to
adopt the Maine law. Good lawyers and
business men complain that the Vermont
general corporation law is bit archaic.
Some Of the provisions might we'll be
modified without at all jeopardzng the
safety OF investors or the good name OF
the State. The provision making direc-
tors personally liable FOR any indebted
ness IN excess of two-third OF the paid
In capital Is a needless limitation, for
where the pad-in capital is known. a.
| Il is In the cases OF Vermont corpora
lions, there "a no need OF any limitation
on tho amount of debts which may DO
! incurred legally. There is no such limit
on debts which a partnership may con-
tract,
Another anomalous provision In our law
is that stock must be fully paid, else
tho holder Is liable personally for the
amount unpaid on his stock, yet the law
permits stock to be paid for In proper
| ty." There is no provision for filing In
any office or public record any statement

| for stock or at what valuation.
| Our general corporation law IL tho
product of "a generation or two ago and

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
Electric Power In burlington and
BrattlcbOro.

Orrom the Brattleboro Reforrner.)
THE boasting Of reduced electric light
and power rates in Brattleboro following
the completion of the great Connecticut
river dam was followed by Il great chag-
rim, inaSmuch as several communities In
Vermont Immediately took the opportun-
ity to- proclaim widely and well that al
though Brattleboro's electric rates may
have been decreased they were stu far
above the charges In those other places.
The Brattleboro Rcformer Is clearly dis
gusted over the turn Of affairs, although
It should be stated that The Refor'ner
was one OF the first to assert that. while
Brattleboro's rates had been reduced.
| they were still far from what they
should be. Considering the advantages
which Brattleboro now possesses for
manufacturing electricity, 1t seems quite
| reasonable, as the contemporary expects,
that the rates will tumble very consider
ably more, until they shall have become
as low as those IN Montpelier. "-Barre

CORNERING NECEssARIEs OF LIFE

Vermont has few large centers Of
population, and people conse-
quently have slight conception Of
what 1t means 10 have the necessaries
ton of capitalists. II the student Of
economics desires to secure evidence
at first hand concerning the effects Of
this squeezing process. he must go to
some of the larger cities. New York
seems to vie with Chicago as a center
OF operation for the beef trust, which
is so largely responsible for the
manipulation OF prices of meat as well
as various other food products: and II
IS not impossible that by causing New
York to figure in this way the trust
hopes 70 divert attention from the
Chicago combination. The public
cannot be hoodwinked in this way.
The animus of the radical advance
OF prices of meat products In the
metropolis is disclosed in the follow
ms HeWs HtSpdtCu sent out from
New York on February s.:
Wholesale and retail meat deal
ers here to- day declare that the prices
OF meat will reach the highest point
ever known before tho week end
They declare that this Is the answer
OF the packers 70 the nation wide boy
colt. They say thu, the packers are
putting more meat into cold storage
and killing lass
This plainly indicates how the meat
trust is manipulating prices IN one
direction. IT is no secret that the
heef barons, realizing the close rela-
ton between tho demand for eggs.
FISH and meat. have sought to control
the markets for all OF these necessar-
ies, particularly the egg market A

that cold storage eggs In that city
have vanished. probably as a result
lions Of cold storage eggs discovered
in New Jersey suburbs OF New York.
and that reports from Pittsburg Gin

similar Developments. In spite of
this fact, however, II is added that
prices OF eggs dropped from as cents

Wholesale. to 2sH. tho quotations on
Wednesday night.
BY withdrawing cold storage eggs
from market the trust probably
thought It would be aided in Its at
tempt to force up the price OF meat
ana judging from advices from New
York this may be the net result OF
the move.
Sight should not be lost Of the par

the prices of necessaries of life and

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
(From the Newport Express and Stand

With reference to the proposals for
mont to be recommended at our next
Legislature, would it be feasible. even
though set forth by the committee. to
cause the removal OF the clause that
prevents any proposals for amendments
oftener than every ten years. We all
know what these two year amendments
are doing to the laws OF Vermont
for the best legal talent to figure them
out II amendments are granted TO
the constitution at every session OF the
egislature-and they Will arise through
various causes-troubles similar to the
law perplexities are liable TO take place.
At least one Will have to go through Il
series OF amendments to get at the real
essence OF the facts. Amended consti-
tutions do not read well. They should
they are tempered with the better. Five
good men should b capable Of building
