Mr. Speaker, [ am heartily in favor

eliminate the middleman, and by so
doing they will bring their products
to the consumer at a much cheaper

The carloads Of strawberries and
pears shipped were slightly less than
half those of peaches. An average
of approximately 1000 carloads Of
grapefruit and 5000 cars Of plums
and prunes combined were shipped an
nually for the past four years.
The combined peach shipments of
Georgia and California are as great
as those of all other States combined.

with better profit to themselves

This bill is, III substance, the Cap
per-Hersman bill. The object of this
bill is to authorize farmers to form
associations for the purpose Of collect
lively marketing their products. We
have law similar to the proposed law
in Wisconsin. The State laws can
not confer any right upon their organ
izations to engage in interstate or
foreign commerce. This bill will con-
fer this right.

ted. Farm organizations have been
prosecuted in California, Minnesota,
Illinois and Ohio. In each case mid
dlemen We're responsible for the pros
ecution. In each case the farmers
were acquitted by juries, but after ex-
pensive trials. 1t IS high compli-
ment to the American sense of justice
that the juries OF laboring and busin-
ess men sitting in these cases, after
hearing volumes of evidence, and with
the city press attempting to prejudice
the case of the defendants, have quick
~ acquitted the defendants.

Need of Legislation

In the last few months more than
80 reputable farmers of the country
have been indicted and placed on trial
for collectively selling their milk for
city distribution. So far, five trials
of these men have taken place, and in

What the Bill Provides

This bill has the Endorsement of
practically all the farm organizations
of America. 1t does not compel any
existing farm organiza ton or society
to change its present organization
The Penn's Grove record., 1920-03-05

That they have builded perhaps bet
ter than most of their critics are dis
posed to think is the case would seem
TO be the reasonable judgment on the
work of the Supreme Council of the
Peace Conference which has just adj
journed. For one thing, the an
nouncement of Japan that it intends
TO withdraw from Siberia in full CO.
operation with the United States gives
special point to the valedictory of Gle
menceau that if "Great Britain, the
United States, Italy and Japan remain
united there is a guarantee of peace
which exceeds all those guarantees
which can be put on paper" And for
another thing, Clemenceau's state
ment that the Council members work
ed together as friends charged with a
great duty to make peace, to prolong
the state of peace first of all between
ourselves, while increasing the chances
of peace for humanity" is a very fair
statement of what went on in Paris,
be the complications what they may.
The work done in view of the Stupen-
dous and appalling nature of the task
not only warrants the minute of ap-
probation of Clemenceau, moved by
Lloyd George, but also that larger ap-
probation that the colleagues of Gle
menceau should receive from the world
at large.
No one questions that the first Su-
preme Council adjourns at a time
when many things are unsettled.
What it did will please neither the ex-
tremists who stand for class distinc-
tons and the overthrow of orderly
government, nor those who in the
name of nationalism would upset all
the efforts of the Peace Conference to
secure a reasonable and practical adj
justment of things for the time being.
None of the members of the Supreme
Council posed as supermen, least of all
the European statesmen; but no m
can deny, whatever may be the disap-
pointments of the various Allied ma
tons, parties to the peace, as well as
those upon whom peace was imposed,
that the negotiators believed they
were inspired by a desire not only to
do justice to all, but to promote this
justice along the lines that would not
make possible a recurrence of the
frightful universal injustice involved
in the arbitrament of war and the ap-
peal to Observation-Disclosures Public
Ledger.

Concurrent Power

The 18th amendment to the consti-
tuition gives States concurrent
power" to legislate with Congress for
the enforcement of the fundamental
law, prohibiting the manufacture of
intoxicating liquors for beverage pur-
poses. The liquor men interpret the
words Concurrent power" to legislate
as they please, even differently.
The word concurrent" ONE from
the latin words, con, meaning togeth-
er and euro, un. Congress passed d
law fixing half of n per cent. of al
cohol as the limit. To legislate diff
ferently is not legislating concurrent
ly, not running together with Con-
gress, but running contrary OF against
National legislation.
When the legislation of New Jersey

law. of Congress before the U. S. Su-
preme Court they will appear like
Don Quixote charging the wind mill
and go down in history as children
who have not grown to political man.
hood in the worlds moral progress.
The Court will undoubtedly decide the
alcoholic issue on the principle it has
already done on narcotics.
When they get to the Democratic
convention in San Francisco next June
William j. Bryan will wipe the floor
with a beer mat with the Southern and
Western delegates back of him as he
did in 1896, 1900, 1912 and 1916.

Here are some spicy excerpts from
an editorial in the Woodstown Mont
tor-Register:
"The Republicans in the Legislature
are playing second fiddle to Govern
or Edwards with a ~subserviency that
would be humorous if it vas not so
humiliating and disgusting. * y *These
Republicans have repudiated the party
platform and are now engaged in the
damnable business of scuttling the
party craft. = = 1t is time for the party
leaders to find another platform than
the beer key, and unless they do it
deserve the fate to which it is fast
nastening. Even Governor Edwards
must chuckle at the ~subserviency of
some of the Republicans in the Leg
islature, who seem so willing to eat
out of his hand. Is manhood dead,
CT dying in New Jersey?"
The Penn's Grove record., 1920-03-05
POLITICAL NOTES

Republican State headquarters at
Trenton Saturday announced that the
Republican National Committee has
adopted the New Jersey Dollar Bond
Plan," to be used in raising funds for
the national campaign. This plan,
which has just been adopted by the
Republican State Committee, contem-
plates the sale of about 100000 81
bonds in every election district in the
State, "to be payable in the election
of a Republican President.
In reality the bond is a "slush fund"
or campaign contribution. Sixty per
cent. of the proceeds is to go to Coun-
ty Committees for local uses and 40
per cent. to the State Committee.
This sort of financing reminds one
of Mark Hanna's famous Tor in
famous) scheme of "blocks of five,"
at so much per "block." The redemp-
ton promise is one that even Barnum
would have Stunned.

Inebriates Gone Closes Post Office

Prohibition has closed the post
office at Keswick Grove, says a Whit

Keswick Grove is the village for
drunkards who want to reform. Since
war Prohibition became operative the
population has fallen off so much that
it does not warrant the maintenance
of a post office and Addison Raws,
postmaster, has been ordered to dis
continue the office.
