his state, and the federal government
should have the right to 90 into any
commission merchants records and check
them against returns rendered to the
shipper, and in case of suspicion of dis
honesty should have the right to take
dispositions from the people to whom
sales were made. OF course. the legisla-
ton. in order to be valid. should be di-
rected toward the protection of the com
modify and the shippers rights therein,
rather than toward a regulation of the
dealings of commission merchants. Viola
ton of this law should constitute felony
and prompt imprisonment should follow
its every infringement. %Such a law, tax
EN- in connection with the Bureau sug-
gcsted, would protect interstate ship
ments against dishonesty. would insure
proper packing. would insure prompt
transportation by tha railroads, would
give the consumer an economical and
healthful food supply, and, i'll protect
ing the shippers and consumers, itwould
serve as an equal protection to the hon
est commission deales.
Ibis mdllcI II "a sum SupIOhN iHloA'
ance to the shippers Of fruits and veg
etables that it should have the hearty
and active support of every member OF
the Texas delegation in Congress. Its i'm
p%ortance is so vital that the press should
take the matter up and see that it is tho
roughly discussed. Our state legislature
should memorabilia Congress to take
the steps necessary to the protection OF
what can be made one of the greatest
industries in this state.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-12-11

.ducers in securing equitable returns for
the Department of Agriculture should
perform three functions. First, it should
compile accurate statistics of production
showing the acreage planted to the var
ions fruit and vegetable crops, stating
the time that the various sections would
come to market. Second, it should report
to all of the producing section the con
|ditiOn of the market daily. Third. it
should inspect at loading points and at
destination every carload of vegetables
or fruit that moves.
In compiling the acreage statistics
and disseminating that information,
together with statistice of previous con
sumption, the growers would be enabled
to gaurd against an production.
In market reports, figures could be
supplied showing the demands of each
market, and the prevailing prices.
In its inspection, all controversy as
to quality and condition, both at origin
and destination, could be settled. AS it
is now. numerous sales are made by tel
|egraph, carloads 90 fOrward on such
sales, and upon arrival in the markets.
if for any reason the price has declined,
many buyers refuse to accept the ship
ment. report it in bad condition, and the
shipper has no recourse say a long ted
.ious. and expensive litigation. Under
governmental inspection, backed by the
necessary laws. this trouble would be
completely overcome.
In addition to the organization of a
market bureau in the Department of
Agriculture, a law should be passed for
the further protection of those growers
who ship from one state into another.
Texas now has a law on its statute books
which amply protects the shippers who
consign to commiSSiOnmerchantS reSid-
ing in this state, but this is not Suffic-
lent. So small an amount of the Texas
crop is sold in Texas that a Federal law
should be enacted which would protect
interstate shipments. This condition not
only applies to Texas, but to every state
in the Union. State laws. are insufficient
for the proper protection of Interstate
shipments. This law should require every
commission dealer, in rendering his ac-
count-salcS, to show the name to each per
sons address. the date of the sale, and
the amount received. The commission
merchant should be required to keep a
permanent duplicate record OF all such
reports to shippers not residing within
