GARDINER PLANS
D. c. CONTROL
OF MARKETS
Would Handle Market Pro-
duce Same As Government
Handles Wheat.
ELIMINATE MIDDLEMAN
Farmer Would Receive Bet
ter Prices and Consumer
Pay Less.

Is there any way in which the cost
of food to the people of Washington
can be brought down? Will the ap-
pointment OF agents to handle mark
ct produce in the same manner that
the government Is now handing wheat
reduce prces to the people of the Ma
tional Capital?
Ask Commissioner w. Gwynn Gar
diner. and he will tell you that the
great economies incident to large
scale operations effected by the Fed
eral government in buying and selling
wheat direct from the farmer, demon
strates that If the District govern
ment will establish a terminal mark
ct In Washington to which any pro-
ducer or farmer can ship his food
products, 1t can be graded, handled
and sold for / per cent of the selling
price.
The establishment by the govern
ment of a wholesale terminal mar
ket in Washington. so that farmers
remote from the market can send
their products with the assurance
that they will be sold at the prevail
Ing prices, has also been advocated by
Commissioner Louis Brownlow, chair
man of the Board of Commiss ioners
of the District of Columbia, who al
though he has not changed his views
on the subject, does not care to be
quoted on the matter. He takes
the view that any recommendation
looking to an amelioration of present
market conditions in Washington
should come from District Food Ad-
ministrator Clarence Wilson.
No JustiRcatlon for H. C. Of L.
Commission had rendered its report
last spring in which 1t was declared
that there was no Justification for the
excessive prices charged the people
of Washington for food, Commission
er Brownlow declared he was in favor
of the establishment of a wholesale
terminal market in Washington where
practically all the food products COM
ing into the city can be assembled
an dsold by licensed auctioneers or
commission men under strict govern
ment control. The only other alter
native. he stated. in direct municipal
operatfou. that Is, for the city to bury
and sell food
Such a terminal market. it was
pointed out, could be operated along
the lines of the Halles Centrales in
Paris, the great city market OF France,
which by strict governmental control,
has won the absolute confidence of the
farmers and producers of the entire
country
The essential features of the Paris
market are the licensed auctioneers
are mt permitted to buy any of the
food themselves nor are they permit
ted to be interested in any business
that does buy food there. The COM
mission which the auctioneers may
charge for making the sale-usually
about three per CENTS absolutely
fixed by law.
