REGULATING FooD STORAGE.

1SI%G OI<AIlNd FOOD STORAGE.
New York and New jersey are max
ing joint study of the evils of cold
storage. A bill has already been in
troduced at Albany for it's more care
ful regulation. Governor Wilson urged
similar measure in his inaugural ad-
dress and the New Jersey legislature
Is expected to take action. A bill is
pending in congress looking to a re-
formation of the same evil. The ques-
ton is a large one, with many angles
1t is not SO much talked about as it
was year ago, but still merits the at
tention of legislative bodies.
Cold storage of food products is a
modern necessity. Rightly used, it
serves the public by keeping prices
steady, by storing in the season of
plenty for use in the season of natural
shortage. No one argues against cold
storage as an institution It is when
food is held back in order to maintain
abnormally high prices, when it is kept
so long that it becomes poisonous,
when cold storage is made a curse in
stead of a blessing to mankind, that
government must step in with a re-
straining hand. The period of stor-
age should be strictly limited, and the
sale of stored products rigidly regu-
lated.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

INDEPENDENcE or sTATEs

We have maintained at different
times that one reason why centraliza-
ton, or capitalism, is so marked a
characteristic of the times is the tend
ency of states to look to Washington
for assistance whenever any great
public work is to be undertaken. No
matter what we want we turn to the
United States. If we wish a ditch
dug here or tree cut down there
we think that congress should arrange
for the work. New York did not ac-
ahead and built the Erie canal, which
made New York one of the greatest
cities in the world. In deepening that
canal at tremendous cost New York
has undertaken the work independent
1y, greatly to the benefit OF civic and
state pride, and greatly to the advan-
tage of the entire state in other ways.
What is needed in America today is
larger independence, financially and
otherwise. on the part of the several
states. We need to realize that our
state is an important thing, that our
| own legislature Is a good body to
which to appeal. We need to be dedi
Gated to great enterprises on our own
government something more than a
makeshift or a name. We need to
look to our own legislative halls instead
of congress for constructive legisla-
ton. The independence of the states
must be asserted anew. Their rights
are being taken from them because
they are not fully exerting those pow
ers reserved to them. They have been
neglectful and Washington has been
quick to take advantage of that fact.
