Some time either III 1926 or 1927 a
lottery Office was opened here, char
tered by the state. The office was
directly opposite the old Brattleboro
house, n famous hostelry ut that time,
and for many years thereafter. a large
sign hung over the door with a paint
ing representing woman holding in
her hand eornucopia from which was
flowing a perfect avalanche of dollars.
In those days the most reputable PEG
pie of the town as well as all others
patronized the lottery office and with
out the least suspicion that it was
anything like gambling, or at all rep
rehensible to try your luck. People
thought no more of walking up to the
counter to buy lottery ticket than
of going o the grocer S for pound Of
tea and if tradition can be believed
the lottery had the call two to one
The townspeople evidently thought
they stood a little better chance OF
getting rich by laying out 50 or s. fol
a ticket than in any other way, but i
seems to have taken but four or fyt
public drawings to change their minds

bill in earlier sessions of congress, before Senator
Capper had ever advocated such an idea.
The Baer and Capper bills will force the Chicago
Board of Trade and the Minneapolis Chamber Of
Commerce to send lobbyists to congress to combat
them. They also have brought admission from
c. A. Magnuson, president of the Northwestern
Elevator company of Minneapolis and former pres
ident of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
that future trading at present conducted allows
manipulation of prices Formerly the chamber Of
commerce brokers have always contended that the
claw of supply and demand" was the only factor
that influenced prices in any degree
Magnuson proposes that to prevent grain gam
bling being wiped out altogether the brokers get
together and propose bill that would limit "shor
sales" to 100000 bushels. He admits, however,
that this provision could be evaded to large de-
gree by the use of dummies in making sales
The bills to prohibit importation of wheat and
wool for stated periods to levy high protective
tariffs against these articles, are receiving consid
cradle support. It is pointed out however, that an
embargo against Canadian wheat would throw this
wheat on the Liverpool market, where it will also
provide competition for American wheat. In
spite of this undoubted fact it is undoubtedly
true that Canadian imports have to some extent
allowed manipulation of the American markets this
year. The easy way to meet this objection is to
prohibit imports. The statesmanlike way would be
to prevent the grain exchanges from manipulating
prices, either the basis Of Canadian imports or
on any other basis.
