Madison, July 81.

J. Q. Emery, dairy and food commits
sioner of Wisconsin, returned from the
melting of the national association OF
dairy and pure food commissioners III
St paul. He said the meeting was the
largest OF its kind yet held and was
productive of large good that will be
more apparent in results in the future.
DR.. Richard Fisher, the Wisconsin
state chemist, appeared in scientific
paper as number of the four-days
program.
Commissioner Emery says that per.
haps the greatest good accomplished
by the meeting was the determination
that there ought to be enacted as soon
as practicable national pure food law,
applicable to the entire country, and
one which would serve as model for
the policies of all the separate states.
The assembled commissioners agreed
that such law would assist not only
the states in enforcing their laws, but
would assist the large manufacturers
of foods and food products in obeying
the laws.
AT present wide diversity prevails in
the laws of the different states and
manufacturers have no assurance that
when they comply with the laws OF one
state they are not to be prosecuted for
violations of more stringent or differ
emily construed law. in other states.
One feature of the convention was
the statement made by representa-
tive of manufacturing company, to
the effect that the dairy and food COM
missioners projected themselves too
much into legislation. He said the
manufacturers ought to have the first
say in regard to what the legislation
should be and that the commissioners
should conduct themselves merely as
administrative officers and not as leg
islators. This statement was followed
by much adverse criticism on the part
of tho commissioners. They were en-
phatically of the opinion that II more
or less scrupulous manufacturers OF
foods were the ones who should dictate
or largely influence pure food legisla-
ton there would be exceedingly unsat-
isfactory food laws passed. The com.
missioners agreed in the conference
that there should be some authority
nearer to the people and their inter
ests than are the manufacturers to
suggest what laws should be passed
for the purpose OF regulating the man
ufacture and sale of food products.
