Wants Correct Weights.

Congressman Wilson of Chicago
evidently sees the light in the right spot.
He has introduced bill in congress de-
signed to compel the labelling of the
exact measure of food packed in cans.
bottles, boxes or other containers enter
ing into interstate commerce. The won
der to us is that some member of con-
gress has not introduced before a bill
compelling the correct labelling of food
packages. There is nothing unjust about
it or harmful in any way TO the man
who is giving square deal. The people
themselves are responsible to great de-
gree for some of the under weight bus
mess. For instance how many people are
there ordering a pound of the Arm and
Hammer brand of soda and accepting
a paper package marked ten ounces.
Just look at your package the next time
you buy soda and see what part of a
pound you are getting.

why a Revision Committee ?

Is it not proper to ask if the revision
committee of the Vermont legislature
has proven complete success. The pur-
pose of such a committee was to proper
" word the bills, eliminate the clearly
illegal and, impossible features of the
measure before they were presented to
the Legislature and prevent the print
ing of so much unnecessary matter. It
has been found very expensive to main
tain such a committee as no one compe-
tent for the work could be secured as
clerk for anything like the compensation
of regular members. 1t has not proven
a preventative to imperfectly worded
or incorrectly drawn measures as is
shown by the numerous vetoes of the
present term and the explanation that
the measure did not express the idea of
its sponsor, or an incorrect bill got in
does retard the presentation of business
to the legislature as it is impossible for
the committee to revise the bills as fast
as they are presented. The sessions of
the legislature are longer since the re-
vision committee has been established
and the delay in getting bills introduced
may be one of the causes. This suggests
the question whether or not the old
method of allowing the various COM
mittees to properly revise bills referred
to them is not quite as fast and cheaper
than the present method.
We are open to conviction in this
matter but from an outside viewpoint
there seems to be serious question
whether the revision committee has
proven itself of enough benefit to
warrant its expense.

through Canada. 1t was necessary
to go to Canada for all important

Cooperative Buying.

Secretary Wilson of the department of
agriculture in his annual report calls at
tention to the fact that the farmer is get
ting only about fifty per cent of what his
products are costing the consumer. AS
an illustration he says that in some sec
tions last spring potatoes were selling
for twenty and in some cases as low as
nine cents a bushel at the farm but city
consumers in the east were paying from
fifty to seventy-fve cents for those same
potatoes. He states that while the
farmer is receiving higher prices for his
produce than he did once he probably is
not receiving any larger proportion of
what his produce costs the consumer
thanshe did ten years ago.
Secretary Wilson's remedy for this is
Information of cooperative buying asso-
Citations among the consumers to buy
that this form of distribution of farm
produce has already begun in England
where cooperative selling associations of
farmers are dealing direct with coopera-
tive associations of consumers. This is
quite a radical step from the old methods
of getting farm produce from the farmer
to the consumer through the wholesaler
or commission man and the retail dealer
with the large percentages they charge
for doing the business. However it
should be remembered that under the
present system the various middlemen
have to stand all the loss that comes
from decay and other shrinkage while a
direct exchange between the farmer and
consumer would place these losses on one
or the other of them. So the economy
effected might not be so great as appears
at first sight. Still it might work to the
consumers advantage if successfully car
ried out. But an important feature in
this scheme would be successful farmers
