How Much Maple Do You Get In
Naple Sirup?

Don't trust to luck that you get a
100 percent maple product when you
ask for maple syrup.
Read the label carefully" and ask
your grocer how much maple you are
getting when the label doesn't tell.
Pure maple sirup, to be labeled as
such in interstate commerce" says the
GUIDE, must be simply the product
Of evaporation of maple sap or of dis
solving Of maple sugar in water, with
the resulting sirup not over 80 per
cent water and weighing no less than
II pounds to the gallon, according to
the regulations of the Food and Drug
Administration.
Mixtures Of maple with sugar
sirup range in maple content from a
low of about 3 percent to a high of
almost half maple. Some labels give
the percentage Of maple in the COM
bination. Others merely say cane and
MAPLE which means sugar sirup-
not true sirup-with enough maple in
it to give it maple flavor. The
typical Sirup sold under brand name
from II TO ~ percent maple.
THE Food and Drug Administration
is not empowered in the law to set
definite percentages of maple in
sirups labeled different ways. But
some States have regulations setting
minimum percentages of maple which
sirup sold in the State under labels
the word, maple must con-
tain. This makes it possible for any
given brand of sirup to be sold in one
State with 40 percent maple in it, and
in another State with 20 percent, both
under the same label, cane and
maple
Consumers may find out what
regulations, if any, control the maple
sirup content of mixtures sold IN their
States By writing to the State Food
Commissioner"

Knudsen said that 1897 would
show that 81 per cent of the cor
poration's dealers made profit and
that the total profit for dealers in
the United States for the year would
be about S55,000,000 in addition to
amounts withdrawn by the owners
as salaries.
He said used car conditions, in
ventories of which reached an all
time high in 1897 increased costs
of labor and materials and strikes
and unauthorized stoppages" made
difficult the company policy OF
keeping the maximum number OF
people working consistent with the
demand"
1T is the policy of the corpora
ton to control its production
through a record of the retail sales
of it's dealers, this record being
tabulated after each To-day period
in each month" Knudsen said. THE
object of the frequent checks on
sales is to keep production in bal
ance with sales and to prevent an
excessive stock in the field, which
throws employment out of balance.
costs have increased sharply
during 1887. Labor rates are %
per cent higher than in 1886, and
material costs rose sharply during
the first half of 1887. The overall
increase in car costs amount to
1872 per cent in 1887. General
Motors elected to carry this burden
without increasing prices, until the
period of August to october, 1887,
when price increases of 8ia per cent
were put in force on all cars.

Did you consider decreasing the
price of cars to increase the sales?"
Chairman James F. Byrnes, D., SC,
asked.
That is not what is stopping
sales" Knudsen replied. Il think
that the average man feels that
business is going to be slack and
will not commit himself"
Knudsen said that taxes went up
S5,000,000 from 1896 to 1887.
was any consideration given to
the use of surplus funds to retain
the men laid OFF," he was asked.
I'VE should not be expected to
keep more men than are necessary
to produce the amount of cars that
we can SELL" Knudsen said
Knudsen said the cash surplus
was S21l 100000 and added that was
small change" compared to pay
roll of approximately S400,000,000.
What action can be taken by
government to stabilize employ
ment,' Byrnes asked.
Il have no suggestion" Knudsen
said. Il have only the hope that
people will have confidence in the
future"
Knudsen said talks with dealers
brought him information that peo-
pie had fear of something out

Furthermore. Riley added. the
state have created a surplus of
more than S3.OOO,00O before the end
OF the year. That surplus will bring
about a reduction of taxes. Riley
promised. for the state controllers
office will recommend a cut in ex-
penseS rather than an increase to
absorb that surplus.
Riley carefully outlined the states
income and expenses and explained
the program that has enabled the
state to balance the budget without
an addition of taxes.
The reason the state fell into
debt in 1882. the controller said, was
easy enough to explain. California
just spent more money than was
coming in
Riley urged that communities put
tax delinquent lands back on the
tax rolls to ease the burden of
those who are paying taxes and
also to enable the state to continue
to operate on balanced budget.
Office Independent
The state controller cited many
bills introduced and passed at the
last legislature and warned the
residents of the state to fight any
plan to take power away from the
state controllers office.
That office must remain free
from other agencies, Riley explain
ed, in order that it may continue
to act as a check on spending.

ployed Riley in Holtville, introduc-
ed the speaker.
