State Food Board
Blamed by Dillon
For Egg Famine
He Says Storage Supply
Was Sold as Fresh at
High Prices

Negligence and an indifferent atti-
tude on the part OF the State Food
Commission. of which John Mitchell is
chairman. were declared las, night by
John J. Dillon, former Commissioner
OF Food and Markets, to be RESPONSE

ally. food proNteers have made thou
sands Of dollars because Of this condi-
tion. Mr. Dillon added:
egg and poultry section Of the Federal
Food Administration. was in New York
on Wednesday for 4 conference with
the wholesalers of this city, he revealed
shat So per cent. OF the cold storage
egg supply had been consumed and
that no relief was in sight for at least
thirty days In view of an announce
ment by q food expert only three weeks
ago that warehouses were fairly bulg-
ing with eggs, the discrepancy was
hard to understand
"There is a scarcity Of eggs that is
alarming.' Ny. Dillon said. "and the
vigilance by the State Food Commits
sion, headed by John Mitchell, which
has permitted cold storage eggs to be
dumped into the market by wholesal-
ers as fresh eggs. and they have been
sold as such
"Owners Of eggs held in cold stor-
age flooded the market with them,
classifying them as fresh eggs and
getting fresh egg prices. Eggs of this
sort which formerly sold for al and
45 cents have been bringing 65 cents
to the protitears. And both the whole
salcr and the retailer are equally
guilty. People who wouldn't think Of
buying cold storage eggs at 48 cents
a dozen have cheerfuly been paying
Is and so cents for the same eggs they
refused TO eat before this deception
was practsod."
While the scarcity Of cold storage
eggs was reflected to some degree yes

Failure Of Voluntary Saw
ing Likely to Lead to
& Drastic Action
Wilson Approves Step
Prompt Legislation Expected
to Conserve Supplies
Throughout Nation
[Staf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.--Far-reach-
ing food control measured to compen-
safe for the partial failure of voluntary
conservation are anticipated in conse-
3auence of Herbert c. Hoover's recon-
9mendations to the Senate Among the
restrictive measures said to be in con-
temptation are government supervision
of all public eating places, the closing
iof meat shops on meatless days, sys-
item of sugar rationing in the event Of
ANY future shortage, and more stringent
regulations over the distribution and
consumption of wheat, lard and pork
products. This programme was outlined
day by q state food administrator
following conferences with the Federal
authorities.
Revolutionary though the new food
control regulations will be. it is ex-
pected they will find their way prompt
liz into legislation. 1t is said that they
have already received the unqualified ID
Endorsement Of the President.
Food Administrator Hoover has per
sistently opposed the issuance Of the
proposed fuel priority orders during
the past several weeks. The coal fam
inc in New England has, however, made
fuel priority essential, and this is said
already to have complicated food dis
tribution. Actual food shortages are
imminent, it Is said, in certain sections
of the country unless the transporta-
ton situation clears rapidly.
In addition to our mounting domes-
tic food needs, it is pointed out, the
food dependence Of both the Allies and
the neutrals on this country IS contln-
uslly becoming greater
SURVEYS of the results Of voluntary
food conservation, it is stated, show
that it has been gross failure in parts
of the country. This Is particularly
true of the larger industrial commune
ties. In munition towns, it is reported
the food wastes have been tremendous
in some instances. In addition to food
waste, it is pointed out, considerable
quantities of food have spoiled in tran
sit during the recent freezing weather
In addition to the proposed restrict
i've measures, it is stated, the Food Ad-
ministration will be compelled, within
the next few months, to permit price
increases in milk, fats and other com
pact foods suitable for overseas trans
portation. This will be necessary, it
/ is said, to assure maximum production

The board is serious in its resolve

HOW SAMUELS SUPPORTS
WILSON.

"a vote for Samuels for governor is
an Endorsement of President Wilson, .
say the placards posted in Idaho by a
man now in the Grangeviile jail for OPP
posing the buying of Liberty bonds.
President Wilson asked that this loan
be floated President Wilson and the
present administration have arranged all
of the Liberty loans and gave them the
name Liberty" President Wilson has
urged the people to buy the bonds and
said repeatedly that it is as important to
raise money in this manner as any other
branch of the war work.
H. F. Samuels, nonpartisan candidate
for governor, for whom vote is an in
dorsement of Wilson, according to the
posters, has gone all over Idaho opposing
raising money in this way; opposing
issuing bonds and demanding that we
pay for the war as we CO." In this,
as in many other things, Samuels is open
ly opposing President Wilson The
president does not want that kind of an

THE ONE GREAT ISSUE.

There is one great issue before the
American people and the people of Idaho
today. That issue is the winning of the
war-not by printing on posters contain
ing the pictures and names of party can

and then sending speakers out to advo-
cate the election of those candidates and
oppose the buying of Liberty bonds-but
b. supporting the war measures of the
administration.
The issue is between real American
ism, the kind that sends its sons to fight
and its dollars to support them, and the
eamouflaged kind that prints posters adj
socating winning the war and sends ths
man who posts the posters to advocate
paying for the war as we go" and not
issuing bonds or credit, a sly way Of
evading buying Liberty bonds and stab
bing those soldiers in the back.
