Safety First
The wisdom of the Vermont State Bank Com
missioner in cautioning Trust Companies in Ver
mont against paying a higher v-ate than f our per
cent on Savings deposits has been proved by the
present troubles of several of the Trust Com
panies in Boston; where there has been competi
tive bidding for deposits.
The Brattleboro Trust Company guarantees its
depositors 4 per cent on Savings accourits. A
SAFE rate and a FAIR one.
Small accounts as well as large ones are received.
Deposits made on or before Oct. 5th draw inter

VOI.STEADINfi VERMONT.
The deelnrntion of the Republicnn
tntc eonventlon for nn enforeement lnw
imilar to the Volstead nct is simply rec-
oKiiltion of the necessity of rcvisitiB thc
quor laws of thc stnte to make them
consistcnt with thc fedcral law on the
subject. l'erhaps the word similar docs
not necurntely descrlbo what tho new
lnw must be. It miist bc concurrent
ith the federnl law, or contributinfc
to thc sanic effect, Rcpeal of tho
'erniont liquor law would be insuffi
cient bccausc it would lcavc no law for
ie stnte officcrs to cnforcc. Thc
stnte should nnt nttempt to shift thc rc-
pon.sibility of enforcitiK this lnw on
federnl agents.
The first chatiKC in thc Vermont lnw
must be n definition of "intoxicntinR
(pior" or "liipior" that will ngree with
the federnl law. At pre.sent intoxicntini!
hiuor in Vermont includes all bevcrnKes
oiitninins one per cent or moro of nl
cohol. In thc new law this must bc re'
uecd to onc hnlf on one per cent nnd
n nddition to bcvcrnftcs must bo in
c'.udcd "lhpiids nnd compounds, whether
medicnted, proprietnry, patented or not
and bv whntcvcr namc cnlled." Tlie
present Vermont lnw permittiiiK thc snlo
of ferinented cider in bnrrels or casiss
of not less than 32 gallons must bc
nenled.
All provlslons for votinc on tnc li
censc' question nt thc Mnrch mcetlnRs,
for lleensinj; tho salc of liquor (unless
poHslMy under licenses of the fifth
lnss) for collectliiK licenso fecs nnd th
prcscriptlon by n phynicinn of not moro
tlinn lnilf a plnt of liquor In -1 noura
for n pntlcnt must be rcpcnled.
The prohibition of the new lnw must
be more complete thnn the present lnw.
The present Vermont law says : "A
person shall not furnlsh or sell or
cxpose or keep witli intent to sell, any
ntoxientiiiK lhiuor, except ns ntttliorized
by this chaptcr." Tho fedcral law
savs: "No person shall manufacture,
ell, bai-ter, trnnsport, import, export.
deliver, furnish or possess any intoxl-
ating liqtinr. except ns nuthorized n
this nct." More compreliensivc prolu
biton thnn the stnte has ever had must
now bo made. The federal nct nllows the
sale ot liquor for non-bcvcrngc purposes,
wine for sncramcntal purposes under
n federal permit, nlso the manufac
ture and sale of denntured nlcohol or
denatured ruiii, mcdieinnl prepnrations
unfit for bevernge purposes, patcnt or
proprietnry mcdicincs, toilet, medicinnl
ind nntiseptie preparatons or solutions,
flnvoring extracts nnd syrups 'unfit for
levernge purposes, vinegar nnd pre-
served sweet eider. A'ermont enn pass
a law allowing the same privileges.
I'hysicinns under permit mny be nl-
lowed to preseribe not more thnn n pint
in ten dnys for n person nfter ninking n
hysical examinntion nnd being con-
vineed sueh preseriptton is necesary for
the relief of some known nilment. A
regiilnr phnrmacist, under permit, may
sell liqilor on n doetor's preseription, but
can lill n preseription lmt once nnd must
keep n complete rccord o 'all prescrip-
tions fiPed. Only preseription lilnnks
furnii-hed by the eoiiimissioner of lnter-
mi 1 revenue or his ngents cnn bi, used
by the physieinn.
Tlie triinsportation of liquor is nlso
seven'ly restrieted to prevent misrepre-
sentatlon of the nature of thc goods of
fered for shipmcnt nnd the dclivcry of
the pnrcel to nnyone but tlie bona fide
eoiisignee. Advertising of liquor in nny
form. exeept by mnnufncturers nnd
wholesale ilriiggists, pr of any mnchiiicry
of eontrivnnce for thc unlawful inanufac-
ture of liquor must be made illpgnl
I'robnhly n revision of tlie pennlties
for violation of thc wlll nlso have to
be revised to eomply witli the federal
act. Vermont law prohihlts intoxicntion
nnd imposcs pennlties therefor, whieh
tlio federal law docs not. I'robably
this feattire of thc state law can bo rc
talned in tho new nct,.
It will be seen sueh radlcnl changes
in the liquor law of Vermont nre neces
sary it prohnbly wlll be rewritten nnd
the person who does this will hnve n
big task to perform.

nvitation for them to nccept political
espoiisiblitjes is in ncenrd with the lnt-
est constitutionnl amendment.
The enactment of n liipior enforee
ment law similar to the Volstead act
will make the state responsible for tlie
the enforeement of nationul prohibition
within its borders.
The deelnrntion for n eloscd primnry
indicntes the pnrty will not attack the
primnry law in general but will try to
make it more definitely n party vote for

will rlose thc door to those Democrnts
