CONVENE LEGISLATURE

Editor The Star: An Immediate
session OF the Legislature II needed.
We need state food laws 10 supple
ment the national food law. The
national food law covers only inter
state food. feed and fuels. We
need intrastate regulation. Why
walt until October7 Now. before
the harvest, Is the time to regulate
the gathering and distribution OF
the food and feed production. II we
wait until October. the food manipu-
lator will have buffaloed the produc-
er into selling his crops cheap. or
not harvesting them at all. and viii
have them housed In cold storage
to keep the prices up. and II will
take n Conan Doyle's Sherlock
Holmes TO dig II out.
We should follow the lead OF New
York state. which has Just passed a
drastic food bill. with Teddy Roose-
welt to head the commission to ad-
minister II.
We should have state cold storage
and municipal cold storage facili.
ties, so that the state and city could
buy and sell the necessities, II for
no other purpose than as deter.
rent upon the food gamblers. This
requires Legislative action first.
Now is the time to do H.
! understand the governor intends
to call the legislature in October
that he is now getting pledges of
some sort from its members as to
the kind OF legislation they Will
work upon. I think we can leave
that question TO our Representatives
when they get there.
There should be no further DELAYS
for pledges or anything else. BY
October food legislation will be ben.
eficial for next year only. And 40
far as state guard or police legIsla-
ton is concerned, we are right now
without such and In need OF such
an organization. We have soldiers
a-plenty among us. but they are the
nations chosen, and we would have
10 ask the national government for
their assistance. Perhaps n few
public meetings might arouse the
governor to the realization OF the
necessity OF present and immediate
legislation. II. NJ FARMER
