sent u special message in the last
days Of the Legislature.
Thus the foundation has been laid
for the real fight in securing proper
provisions to protect the public as 20
war time prices and to insure such
Government control OF all food prod
ucts as VIII make II impossible for
speculatOrs to forestall the market.
Four such provisions have been ad-
Vocated by The Evening world and
are to so in the new food bill. They
are:
!. Strict storage supervision.
2. Terminal markets,
3, Municipal milk depOts.
4. Power OF commission TO buy and
sell common necessities OF life.
Sufficient power Is to be granted to
food commission to carry out
these provisions. The Governor has
promised to see to II that the persons
who serve on this commission shall
be those Interested in securing proper
relief, but In order 10 get this II is
up to the individual to demand from
his legislator a vote that will bring
the result.
Legislators. after all, arc repre-
sentatlves OF the people. They are
sent to carry out the will OF their
const ituents and they are not invul-
nerable.
There are many good men in the
New York Legislature who are anx-
ious to do what they can; who really
feel the pain OF the poor man and his
present depleted pocketbook; who
hear the cry OF the children against
high priced milk, who realize there
are thousands OF them actually be-
coming more weakened daily by the
lack or this most nourishing food.
They realize that, with all the
present preaching about saving, there
are women on tho east side and the
west side who could not save another
cent TO save their souls on account OF
the high prices OF even the COM
monest kind Of necessities; who also
know that the Federal bill will take
care OF the food proposition in large
quantities and in relation TO what
shall be sent 10 war countries and
what shall remain here.
Men who also understand that tho
Immediate state problem must be
met by state legislation so that the
conditions within the Immediate
vicinity may be handled with de-
spatch and with freedom OF action
| by properly constituted authorities.
