Food Investigators Told

The Chamber of Commerce committee
appointed to investigate the problem of
the increased cost of food products held
it's first formal session yesterday.
Statements were heard from James s.
Hoge, both farmer and commission mer-
chant; from ]. Lynn Yeagle, representing
the National Anti-Food-Tr League
and from the chairman of the committee,
who read statistics prepared by employees
of the chamber showing the wide vari-
ance in prices charged for certain stand
ard articles within the past ten years.
The committee met at 4 o'clock Most
of its two-hour session was devoted to
hearing Mr.. Hoge explain the reasons for
increases in the cost Of those commodi-
ties which come directly from the farm
Most of Mr.. Hoge's figures covered
only three years. Even in that limited
period he was able to point to a great
number of foodstuffs upon which prices
have jumped from ~ to 40 per cent. In
no single case did he Indicate an arti-
Gle of food on which the cost has been
lowered.
Speaking as a wholesaler. he said that
pork, which sold at s. to 81 per hundred
pounds in 1907, is bringing $11 In 1910;

view by intinating that he believed the
periodicals could stand raised postage.
II do not attempt TO say who is right
and who is wrong in this matter said
the Speaker, but it doesn't do you any
good to call congressman grafters. You
ought to cooperate with Congress to get
just legislation. l don't say one thing or
the other, but lets get together and see
if we can't do something to better con-
ditions.''

President Taft, Senator Doliver and
Speaker Cannon intimated in their
speeches at the banquet of the Periodical
Publishers Association of America last
evening at the New Willard Hotel that
abuse of officials and congressman would
not be effective in the fight to prevent
the raising of postage rates on maya
zines.
The President referred to the postal
deficit, which has been attributed to
the large bulk of magazines carried
through the mail at second-class rates,
and was rather pointed in his attitude
the magazine men should assume toward
the impending congressional investigation
of the matter. II don't think 1t con-
duces greatly to the calm and judicial
temper of the committee to begin by
calling everybody grafters,' he said, but,
after all. it has its humorous side, and
l am sure that nobody who has any
responsibility is going to allow himself
to be led astray or to do any injustice
because some gentieman's heart has car
ried him beyond dignified expression"
Speaker Cannon assured the magazine
men lit doesn't do you any good to call
congressman srafters.''

idents advice to the publishers as "a
