Ample Protection.

We have statutes a-plenty prescribing
when and how a public utility such as
Judge Cages electric light and power
company may be organized. If there Is
danger that Judge Gage and his asso-
ciates may Overstep the law in forming
such a company or may launch an enter
prise that is not for the common veal
have we not enough public officers, to
watch the procedure without shipping to
LAWYER Howland's office the members of
a public service commission, paying their
expenses and then returning the commits
sioners to their homes? Surely all pub
lie interest could be safeguarded by
merely filing a copy of the proposed char
ter with our secretary of state and the
states attorney for Windsor county, adj
yeTtiSing the proposal in the newspaper
and giving notice that on q certain day
the incorporators would ask one OF our
numerous judges to approve the charter.
If, after these precautions, nobody ap-
peared to oppose the application the judge
would examine the certificate of incor-
poration and probably allow it. If, at the
instance of the secretary of state, the
states attorney or some citizen, there
should be entered meritorious objection
the judge could either hear and dispose
Of the matter forthwith or appoint a ref
cree, resident in the county, for the pur-
pose. Speed, efficiency, and economy
would attend such a method and we
could dispense altogether with our sal
aried commission.
Similarly, in the matter of the merger
of public utilities-a topic on which
alarmist legislators, journalists and can
didates for Office have delighted to dwell
in the belief that the rest of us would
develop goose-flesh-we have in Vermont
an abundance of public officials. even
without our public service commission, to

SWIFT PRODUCE REVIEW

The supply of cream delivered
to the creamerles during the
week was smaller than, last week,
and has resulted i'll higher prices
being paid for butterfat and but
ter. The consumption is ahead
of last year. 1t is not expected
at, This time that importations
will be heavy.
Egg receipts are lighter and
there is a continued good demand
for good eggs. To secure best
prices, eggs should be gathered
daily, kept in cool place, and
marketed frequently.
The volume of poultry moving
is sufficient for current use; iii
fact, there has been a little sur
plus of dressed chickens and broil
ers this week, resulting in some
decline in price.

UNCLE SANS DRY NAVY
TO WATCH OCEAN LINERS
Claim Made That Big Liquor Car
goes Are Sold to Smugg1ers in
New York Harbor.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK., June 1s.-The de-
stroyer Hahn Of Uncle Sans pro-
hibition navy has been detailed to
patrol the waters of the Atlantic,
across the sea lanes ridden by New
York-bound liners, to observe the ac-
tivities Of incoming vessels from
Europe while beyond the twelve-mile
limit. for Prohibition Zone Chief Ap-
pleby Of New York and New jersey
believes the big liners are making a
practice of bringing costly cargoes
Of whisky. which they discharge to
lighters and tugs while beyond the
legal twelve-mile line.
Mr.. Appleby declares that he dis
patched one Of his agents on q tug q
few days ago to meet an incoming
liner. He claims to have boarded the
vessel as a prospective purchaser OF
contraband liquors and to have been
shown 10000 cases of whisky tween
decks.
According to Mr.. Appleby. the laws
cannot be applied to vessels engaged
in this practice. Those removing the
liquor for smuggling into the coun.
try, he declares, are the only ones
that may be held. 1t will be the
Hahn's Job for q few days to note
what steamers do with parts of their
carEoes before approaching within
twelve miles Of the New York shore.
