eign metropolitan markets. Finally, the
committee recommends that the rail-
o and steamship lines entering the
cities OF the state should be encour-
aged and required to provide adequate
facilities for the prompt deliveries of
food products for their sale by auction
on the premises, for temporary storage,
both cold and general, to carry over
one or two days supply, for tho pub
location OF bulletins showing supplies
to arrive.
Adopting as a guiding principle the
elimination OF all that tends to the
unnecessary stoppage in transit. as
multiplied transfers and delays must
increase The ultimate cost to the con-
sumner. the committee expresses Itself
adversely to the construction OF pub
lie market structures and terminals
that might impose heavy fixed charges
on h community and be incapable of
changing with altered conditions of
population and habits. The history OF
New York city's markets is given as a
warning example. 1t is pointed out
that for the most part the buildings In
the wholesale district where the trans
p%ortation terminals are located on the
extreme southwesterly edge of Manhat-
tan are old. i'll built. or i'll planned and
none of them are located on railroad
tracks or pier heads. If the matter
were i'm the hands of a powerful COM
mercial agency, the wholesale plant, for
food handling In the city would. With
two exceptions, be "scrapped."
Cut Distributing Cost.
The fundamental aim, then, in seek
ing the reduction of the cost Of food is
to minimize the cost OF distribution.
The committee estimates that the an
nual food supply OF the greater New
York costs at the transportation ter
minals $3.50. 900. 600 or over. and that 1t
costs in the consumers kitchen $780,
600, 900 or over The testimony taken
AT the hearings. the committee thinks,
shows tina this addition of about As
per cent to the price is chiefly made
by cost of handling and not by profits.
In fact. the evidence showed thai the
smaller retailers are barely making
wages. the corner groceries being gem
orally Il mere means of gaining a am
lily livelihood. The suggested substitu-
ton of large unit retail stores capable
of supplying $4,000 to 5000 people and

space Of seventeen years, it has aided
in placing a score of needed laws on

standards of public service, of polit-
zeal morality and of official honesty.
1t has helped to lift the curse of cor

the introduction of a distinctly indie

For Initiative and Referendum.
Women have largely engineered
the effective campaign in favor of
direct legislation. and have been
almost solidly behind the fight for
the initiative and referendum and
direct primary and the commission
form of government.
AT the last Denver election. held
May 81, 1910, both Republican and
Democratic parties were compelled
to recognize the popular demand and
present charter amendments provid-
ing for the initiative. referendum, re-
call and a water commission. But,
under the control of public service
corporations, and practically financed
by the water monopoly, which was
asking for a new franchise, fake
amendments We're framed by the old
parties. Skilful indeed was the
wording-every amendment looked
good'-yet not one but had a joker
in It. At the last moment a Citizens
party took the field, women behind
1t and a on the ticket. Real
initiative, referendum and recall
amendments were prepared, and a
distinguished water commission
named with power to either buy the
water company's plant at a fixed fig
ure or build a new one
Citizens Ticket Victorious.
Against both organizations. cor
poration, money and every profess
sional politician and henchman the
Citizens ticket won an overwhelm-
ing victory. Denver now possesses
the initiative. referendum and re-
call, and by virtue of a bond issue
carried September 6, 1910, Denver
will build it's w water plant and
be forever freed from as arrogant
and rapaclous a monopoly as ever
cursed a community.
