Refuse to Act on Bill
Senator Page has conferred with tho
House leaders several times during the
last Few days in an effort to get the
House to act. The House leaders re-
fused to place the bill before the
House, so Senator Lodge, leader of the
Republicans In the Senate, was asked
to confer with the House Steering Com
mittee and make an effort to secure
action.
The Naval Affairs Committee of the
house took up the question of In
creased pay in October, 1919. After
shown that the pay of men and officers ~r
II! the service was lower than the pay
OF common laborers and that the army

crease OF approximately so per cent for
the enlisted personnel of the navy and
81 per cent for the commissioned per

approved Of the increase for officers.

ALBANY, March Ex-Governor Smiths
Legislative program to reduce the nigh
cost of food was submitted TO the Legis-
lature to-day in a special message, ac-
companied by report OF the commit
tee on food production and recommen-
dations of his reconstruction commits
sion. He declared that so far efforts
to control and reduce the high cost Of
living had failed and that in the last
six months there had been another in
crease in prices. To curb this upward
tendency he urged legislation along the
following lines:
Prevent boarding by stopping the
withholding from the market of neces-
sary foodstuffs and also the destruc-
ton of food when the purpose is to
enhance its prices by restricting the
supply License food dealers and curb
unfair food practices. Under this
proposed law persons and corporations
dealing in food would be controlled by
the state. This would assist reputable
TODD dealers and gradually eliminate
those who bring discredit on the trade
10 prevent waste Of perishable food
every bit of fresh food consigned to
markets and to minimize litigation CON
corning it.
To grade farm products and eggs.
The Governor believes the price of eggs
can be lowered by careful grading.
This proposed law is uniform with
those in other states, and was recon-
mended by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The Governor again recommends
abolition of the State Council of
Farms and Markets and substitution of
the old Department Of Agriculture. He
said that existing laws and those he
has recommended will avail little until
the agricultural. food and farming in
terests of the state are presided over
by single head with some fixed re-
sponsibility.
In reference 20 milk, the Governor
calls attention to these recommends
tions of the reconstruction commits
sion:
That regulatory body regulate and
control the milk distributing business
in cities of the first and second class.
That all dealers in these cities be Ii
censed.
That the regulatory body set the
price to the consumer and limit the
profits of the distributing agencies.
That it aid all municipalities desir-
