No Bucket Shops Tor Vermont

Several years ago Vermont passed
an anti-bucketshop act, and put that
curse out of the way of doing any
more mischief here. And. II memory
is not tickle, the author of the law
was invited to make one or more ad-
dresses in Massachusetts, and tell how
the good work was done. because the
Bay State was trying to get up moral
courage enough TO follow Vermont's
example. But Mr.. Rossiters figures
show that we do not begin TO have
as many people that must necessar-
lily be moral as Massachusetts has.
In such a state as Mr.. Rossiter pic.
lures some outsiders would expect
that the automobile would be taboo

the percentage OF automobiles owned
In this state according to population
is one TO every 10 persons. which
ranks eighth as compared with other
states. Not only that. but In this lit
tie patch of census gloom there was
found craftsmanship enough TO frame
what the American Automobile Asso-
citation has characterized as a model
automobile law and recommends Ia
other states to follow.
Perhaps no state in New England
has spent more money In the past
ten years, comparative population and
wealth considered. for the stamping
