RECLPROCAL DENERRAGE-

Reciprocal demurrage' is a name to copiure
with. We do not know who invented it, but it
was first generally heard of in regard Ia tho
freight congestion and the coal famine in the
Northwest. The very word reciprocal" was
enough To carry the idea everywhere throughout
the country bill providing for it passed the
Senate at Albany with IA rush on Wednesday
and doubtless there Is not legislature sitting
anywhere In the country which has not passed
or is not considering a similar bill 1t is
blessed title. Why should not the railroads nav
demurrage as we'll as the shippers? Hapnv
thought, Why. indeed:
The state Senate handled the bill as if If
were an explosive package What friend Of tbe
people would vote against measure whose very
title was reciprocal! We believe that two
courageous Senators went on record in onnosI
ton TO the bill, of them venturing the re-
mark that he would do so even mt the cost ne
being suspected of being friend of the rail-
roads" The rest of them either would take no
such chance or else without due consideration
| concluded that the measure was wise Yet the
criticism against this reciprocal demurraga hill
that II would open the way indirectly to rebates
| seems so just and obvious that il is n,Dos
sibie to understand the Senate's haste TO ger the
measure through except on the ground Of its
/ explosive nature One does not examine too
| closely parcel suspected to contain dynamite
Senator Hooker called attention to the fact
! that a shipper might by Encouragement with the
railroads order twenty-five cars where he needed
only three, and On the railroads furnishing,
only three might claim and receive the forfeited
demurrage, which would be in effect rebate
We have examined Senator Rockers own recID-
rocal demurrage bill, and it seems to us omen TO
the same objection; indeed It does not occur +o
us how any plan for forfeiture bv the railroads
10 the shippers for failure to furnish cars could
be devised so as not To be- open 10 abuse and
not TO provide means of indirect Relating To
restore rebates for the sake of the doubtful gain

SGT I'D for the process here. Pasteur hlmSel
favored temperature of 15S degrees Fahren-
heit Some of his disciples believed 40 degrees
sufficient especially If the operation were con
Quoted in closed vessel and the formation or
a skin (Which would protect some of the Dacllh)
were prevented. Swlthinbank and Newman In
their 'Bacteriology of Milk" say that the tenn
peratures most commonly employed in Europe
range from 1871 to 1914 degrees. The amount OF
heat to be applied must depend to some extent,
of course on the duration of the treatment but
the diversity of practice thus revealed is sug-
gestive. Indeed. Swithinbank and Newman say :
The methods of pasteurization are cohuhually
being modified and improved. especially IN
America Denmark and Germany That state
ment was made about ten years ago and since
then perfection may have been attained though
those who are well informed do not seem to be
entirely agreed as TO the manner in which pas
teurlzation should he conducted.
If the adoption of n particular system should
be formally decreed, what guarantee should the
municipal consumer have that it was faithfully
followed? How should he be assured that the
milk he purchased was not cooked too little or
too much or that the treatment given 10 it one
day was identical with that applied the day
before Trained inspectors would doubtless he
needed to supervise the operation at each of the
plants of the wholesale dealers, but how many
men would he required for the purpose what
guarantee should he supplied that the cans and
bottles into which the fluid was emptied for dis
tributon had been properly cleaned and what
protection against deterioration is necessary
after milk has been pasteurzed? These ques-
lions are not raised in any spirit of hostility to
the policy now before the Board of Aldermen
and the Legislature. but in order To promote
discussion which may result in the adoption OF
safeguards Of the public health. If pas
teurlzatlOn is equal To the service which 1t is
designed to render the sooner the fact Is known
and the system established the better.
