Hoover Is Blamed
For High Price of
Feed to Farmers
Federal Investigator Testi-
fies at Milk Inquiry That
New York Producers We're
Disseminated A gains t

Charges that Herbert c. Hoover, the
food administrator for the world. dis
crimnated against the farmers of New
York State in the traffic in dairy feeds,
were made yesterday at the John Doe
inquiry into the milk situation.
Raymond Smith. the Federal Trade
Commission Investigator. who made
charges against several state officials
at last weeks sessions. made the criti
cisms of Mr.. Hoover. He also alleged
that David Franklin Houston. Secre-
man. head of the Department of Farm
Feeds OF the United States Food Ad-
ministration, we're parties to the dis
elimination. which favored the Feed
Manufacturers Association.
Smith testified that the market was
so fixed that upstate farmers could
not buy directly from the Western
mills, but were compelled to purchase
their dairy feed from retail establish
made from the Western markets were
never delivered, he charged, report
of "lost in transit" being returned in
each case.
He declared that Mr.. Chapman,
president of the Feed Manufacturers
Association, fixed the feed market so
that upstate farmers were forced to
buy food from the association agents
in their localities, at prices greatly in
creased over rates paid to Western
mills.
"As soon as Mr.. Hoover was ap-
pointed Food Administrator" the wit
ness testified, che made Mr.. Chapman
head of the Federal Feed Department.
Mr.. Chapman fixed price of $35 a
ton on bran. The previous price was
between S28 and $50. He did not fix
any price on compound feed, and the
natural result was that the farmers
purchased this product and left the
field free to the big feed companies
to buy up the bran There will be a
shortage of it for several years
Mr.. Smith claimed that the ready
mixed feed, which the farmers were
practically forced to purchase, was not
as good as the farmer could have mixed
himself. One-third of it, he alleged
was composed of dust and roughage, in
no way promoting the growth or
health of the cattle.
At the conclusion of Mr. Smith s
testimony Assistant District ATTORNEY
John T. Dooling said this discrimina-
ton was responsible for the high cost
of milk, as it increased the cost of
production. 1t also was responsible
for poorer quality of milk, he said.

Citizens Get Writ
To Enjoin Officials
In Subway Matter
Union Forces City to Show
Why 1t Should Not Be
Halted in Issuing Stock
and Bonds for Expenses

The Citizens Union took its first
step yesterday in its attempt to re-
strain the city from issuing corporate
stock and long term securities for the
payment of the Public Service Com
missions overhead expenses for the
construction of the dual subway. An
order was obtained from Supreme
Court Justice Lazansky in Brooklyn
directing the city officials to appear
before Justice Cropsey at 10 o'clock
this morning.
On top of this action, letter was
sent by the Public Service Commission
to the Board Of Estimate denying
statements made by Controller Craig
IN report to the board on the sub
Ject OF the corporate stock issue
Mr.. Craig said the commission had
concealed the amounts and failed or
refused to furnish information in re-
spect to its expenses, and that the
expenses are not q part of the "cost
of construction" of the dual subway
unless they are paid by the issue Of
corporate stock.
Grants Temporary Injunction
The city authorities must show
cause why permanent Injunction
should not be issued, Justice Lazanskv
having granted one temporarily stay
ing the city from taking any action in
connection with the appropriation,
pending the decision on the motion.
The complaint was made by William
Jay Schieffelin, chairman of the Citi-
zens Union, through Leonard NJ. Wall
stein.
In its complaint the Citizens Union
charged the city authorities with
wasting city property through illegal
methods. Their action is based on the
authorization, at last Fridays meeting
of the Board Of Estimate, of the issue
of $4,500,000 in corporate stock for
part of the supervision expenses of the
Public Service Commission since 1909.
Says 1t Hits Taxpayers
"The only claim that the city off,
cials can make IN defence of their ac-
tion,' the Citizens Union contends, as
that since 1912 the Public Service Com
mission expenses thereafter authorized
and not yet paid, could in the first in
stance have been financed by the issue
of corporate stock"
on each dollar, the Union declares,
tifty-year bond costs SLIGO for interest
and sinking fund charges, so that at
the end Of fifty years each dollar rep
resents an outlay by the taxpayers of
$500
On this basis $12, 900 would have
to be paid by future taxpayers in order
to meet the bond issue of $4.5oO,O0O au-
thorized last Friday.
The Public Service Commission, in
its letter to the Board of Estimate, de-
clared that certain statements in the
report made to the board by Controller
Craig "are of such a nature as to re-
qulrc correction" Regarding the al
legged concealment of the amount of its
expenses, the commission pointed out
that:
It's total expenses have each year
been a matter of public action by the
commission as evidenced by its printed
minutes; Of public action by the Board
of Estimate as evidenced by its min
utes; of inclusion in the annual report
of the commission to the Legislature,
in detail; OF inclusion in the reports
of the Controller of the city and of
public discussion and criticism Of the
amounts of such expenses.
