From An Inside" On the Milk
Situation

A Honolulu businessman, talking of milk prices
told the Star Bulletin Yesterday that: 4.
/. the management of the Honolulu Dairymens
Association is properly handled, the association can
ply cent quart more to dairymen who sell it their
product, and can simultaneously lower the price 10
the consumer q cent q quart.
2 Since minority stockholders put an expert
countant to work the books. it has been learned
that the association Is making something in ex-
cess of 10 per cent per month
3. "Dippage" wastage of milk in the handling
is several hundred per cent higher than it should be-
4. Within three days after minority stockholders
who milk producers began to show dissatisfaction
with the methods Of the association the association
allowed them cent quart more for the milk brought
from them.
These statements are made not by an "outsider
but by an ''insider.' to-wit, stakeholder in the
association.
For the allegations contained in the minority
stockholders report, told of in a news article yes
terday afternoon the Star Bulletin does not vouch
1t is obvious however. that when some of the milk
producers themselves say that the price paid by the
public is too high real investigation of the facts
by competent independent authority is in order.
1t is obvious that when stockholders say that pres
ent wasteful methods help to keep the costs high,
investigation by competent independent authority
is in order.
There is no question that cattlemen and dairy.
men of the territory face unusual and at times al:
NEST insuperable difficulties The dairymen of Oahu
have to contend with discouraging obstacles 1t is
an accepted fact that d. P. r. Isenberg 1fas sunk
perhaps 100000 in the dairy and ranch business
The milk producer, it appears, is not getting too
much; in fact, il the contentious of minority stock
holders in the Darymen's Association are correct.
he is not getting enough 49,.
The Star. Bulletn and the public know little or
nothing. concerning the management of the Dairy
mems Association. 1t is private concern and but
for the fact that alystaple food is now coming I'M
der public control there would be no movement to
place the milk industry here under public control.
But old conditions have changed, and federal gov
eminent and states are now rapidly developing both
food control and prize fixing commissions. The milk
industry is Of those where it is most necessary
that production be stimulated and the cost to the
consumer made as low as possible. -
The territorial food commission has a, clear duty
to perform in. the milk situation here That duty
is to get at the facts of the industry particularly
the facts of costs and to take such as action as the
facts justify Under the territorial act creating the
commission and arming it with powers, it has the
right to proper price for milk sold to the public

Communicating the Railroads

President Wilson's decision TO commander the
roIntry's railroads and operate them asone WIZ
cabinet officer the general manager, comes at a
time when the roads seemed to be in growing trat-
&c difficulties Recent news from the mainland tells
Of tremendous congestion of freight and OF the DIM
Guilty of moving certain essentials at certain essen
tial times.
One eastern road is reported TO be moving two
thirds of priority" shipments to one'third OF reg
ular business The priority shipment is con-
trolled by the federal authorities who give notice
to the roads that certain commodities. necessary
for war purposes for domestic business, must be
put through ahead of regular business.
obviously when twothirds of the traffic is of this
sort, road is virtually controlled by the govern
ment. Many other big lines have similar expert:
ences. The roads are under a temporary joint
arrangement through the railroad war board, but
the plans have not been developed very far because
Of the increasing probability that the government
would take over the countrys rail business anyway
Secretary McAdoo designated by the president
as direttor.general will undoubtedly make few
changes in the individual operation Of the roads,
But under one general head, the scores OF con,
fipenta lines will be able to pool their operations
Will much more success than now. ..e - :.
One interesting program for government opera
ton is pending in the house of representatives
proposed by Congressman LenrO0t OF. NlscoHsln
he suggested the formation of a great goyerrment
controlled corporation to provide equipment for the
roads 1t would be modelled after the Panama rail
way and shipping corporations, with The govern
ment owning all the stock, building and leasing cars
and locomotives to the railroads All the corpora
tons directors would be members of the interstate
commerce commission except the secretary of the
treasury, and its general manager would be prac.
Teal man. IT. ~ ,ss#sS
Wherever the net income of railroad exceeds {
per cent on its invested capital the corporation
would take 20 per cent of the to buy equip
ment. The equipment corporation, SO named by
Representative Lenroot's resolution would be cap
tailed at $1oo,oO0,OoO at first, with later extern
sion tc-$50O, 100000.
1t is unlikely that the roads will make any protest
against the administration's program, in fact 1t
has been worked ont in conference with them. The
faliroHd men OF the United States have given a
notable example of patriotic response to the coun
try's need-an example formally recognized and
freely admitted by the national administration.
This step will probably end the camorous de-
mands of the railway brotherhood for an increase
"a wages. After noon tomorrow they will be work
ing for Uncle Sam instead of for private employers.
and If they strike they will be not merely dissatis
fed laborers but inexcusable "slackers.
