himself autocraJ and tyrant. If force

checked, It's property Insecure, its credit

A good suggestion was made by Con-
gresham j. Fl. Covington, oil Mary
land, In his address "Wednesday OF last
week before the National Gamers
Association when he advocated uni
formity in the State pure food laws
The several States, Mr.. Covington
believes. can best aid in the enforce
ment of the Federal pure food law "by
re-enacting it in identical terms, with
out addition except to give 1t force
within State boundaries" Some
changes. he comedies, might be neces-
sary, but they would be immaterlal as
compared with the benefits that would
accure both to producers and to CON
sumers.
State pure food laws are necessity
and most of the States have attempted
something in the way of pure food leg
isIation. The Federal laws, OF course,
appertain to the District of Columbia
and to products that are shipped from
one State to another. Where an article
is packed and sold within the borders
of State the Federal enactments do
not apply and the State laws must be
invoked Congress cannot regulate
the sale of products which do not pass
beyond the boundary of State, and II
the State laws are inadequate to re-
strain the INSCRIPTIONS manufacturer
the consumer will suffer as a conse-
quence.
IF every State had a law modelled
after the Federal pure food law the
protection Of the public would be n
much simpler matter In addition the
firms which are engaged in packing
food products would have infinitely less
trouble in understanding the law and
complying with it, No Congressional
action along this line can be effective
unless it is backed up by the right
kind of legislation in the various
States. With State and Federal laws
identical, or practically so, there would
be no question OF the efficacy of pure
food legislation.
