WASHINGTON, Feb ti-Continued
government control Of food will prove
a hardship to taxpayers and should
under no circumstances, be authorized
by Congress, Senator Gore, Oklahoma
declared in the Senate today.

farmers a loss Of $500, 100000 on the crop
OF 1917" said Gore. 1T occasioned a
like loss on the 1918 crop. This huge
loss concentrated on the farmer meant
very slight saving when distributed
among individual consumers. It saved
the average family less than St5 a year

"For thus violating the first law Of
economics, we are forced to pay fine
of 81 i,250,000,000 or thereabouts."
