CR|MP FOR
COLD STORAGE
Senator Lodge Drafts Bill to
Cure Higher Cost of
Living
MAY CONTINUE INVESTIGATION
Comprehensive Plan to Investi
gate Statistics of the Past
Ten Years.

Washington, D. c., April IA limit
should be placed on the use of cold
storage for the purpose of maintain
ing or advancing prices artificially.
This is the judgment of the Senate
committee on the cost of living and
Chairman Ldge today introduced in
the Senate bill to meet this recon-
mendation.
Mr.. Lodges bill will provide that
food kept in cold storage for more
than a year, should be considered
adulterated, and any food taken out of
cold storage, and enormously marked
as to the time it had been in storage
should be regarded as nisbranded in
violation of the pure food law Mr..
Lodge said in presenting the bill that
the committee is of the opinion that
the limit of the time provided will
tend to an equalization of prices and
in some cases reduction. 'The COM
mittee also has no doubt" Mr.. Lodge
continued, that the limitation of time
during which perishable articles of
food and more especially meat pro-
ducts may be retained in cold stor-
age would be hygienically of great
value and would tend to check many
physical troubles
The committee through Mr.. Lodge
also asked for instructions on the mat
ter of continuing the investigation
into the cost of living and presents a
plan to take in prac-
tically the entire country, the matter
of wages, the hours of labor, and cost
of living, the last ten years.

President Taft Lauds Jews.
Washington, April 7.-Representa-
tive Jews of America, delegates to the
conference of B'Nai Birth, cheered
President Taft last night to the echo
when he concluded an address before
them at their annual banquet, with the
words:
There is no people so much en-
titled as you to become the aristo-
Gratis of the world and yet who make
the best Republicans
AS the President was speaking
Speaker Cannon entered. President
Taft, abruptly halting, turned to the
speaker and said:
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
here comes the worthy gentleman who
controls the appropriations of the
United States"
With one hand on President Taft's
shoulder the speaker said:
Under the rules of the House I am
not half so much to be honored as the
worthy gentleman who spends the ap-
preparations of the United States"
President Taft said:
Il have profound admiration for the
Jewish people because they are es-
sentially artistic, because they make
excellent citizens and are in favor of
law and order.
Il am glad to see them come 10 this
country. They have the profoundest
appreciation of the institutions of lib
erty and education. | am Unitarian,
but the church where my father had

man, that patriot and citizen, Rabbi
Wise, and the churches were so close
together, that often pulpits were ex-
changed SO on the main questions

Afraid of Socialists.
washington, April 1.-THE election
Iof a socialist mayor in Milwaukee by
a plurality almost unprecedented in
this city was the subject of much COM
ment among the members of Congress
yesterday, especially those from Wis
consin. Leading Republicans were in
clined to minimize the Importance of
the result, but the Wisconsin repre-
sentatives view it as momentous. One
or the most prominent of these, for
bidding quotation, by name, went so
far as to say that the election Of the
