cares for the Iowa hen better than is
done elsewhere was brought out in q
United States senate debate the other
day, a. found In the Congressional
Record. Senator Reed had been at
lacking the unfair Discrimination"
part Of the antitrust bill and had
quoted from the Iowa statute forbid
ding unfair discrimination in various
things and had compared it with the
Minnesota law and others.
why" he said, you could not even
get q rule out OF the two statutes last
they differ even as to milk" The Rec
ord continues:
Mr.. Reed-If q man came before this
board charged with unfair competition
in eggs, you would have to try him
under the Iowa statute. You would be
compelled to disregard the Minnesota
statute, because 1t forgot all abou. the
hens. ! believe Iowa is the only state
that has cast the protecting aegls OF its
statute over the common barnyari
hen.
Mr.. Kenyon-Mr. President.
Mr. Reed-Of course, if You were
trying a milk case you might try it
either under the Iowa statute or you
might try it under the Minnesota stat
ute, but the hen can find a venue Cor
her wrongs only In Iowa. l yield to
the senator from Iowa.
Mr.. Kenyon simply wanted to
suggest that it was very good pro-
vision to protect the Iowa hen, be-
cause the products of the Iowa hen
amount per year to more than the en-
tire gold output of Alaska.
Mr.. Reed-Mr. President, there is no
product from the state of Iowa, in
Guiding its senators, that is not worthy
of all protection and all honor. Incl
dentally. remark that have no doubt
but that at least one of them just at
this particular moment would be glad
to have a statute passed preventing
unfair competition at the polls. think
there would be great deal more sense
in employing the term in that way. and
we could come nearer telling what it
means than as 1t is employed in this
proposed statute.
