Permit me to emphasize once more
the need for action upon. certain mat.
tiers upon which I dwelt at length in,
my message TO the second session Of
the sixty-sixth congress-: The Necessity
for example, OF Eencouraging the man

ichemica1s:s, the Importance Of doing
everything. possible to- promote ngri-{
culture production along economic
lines, to improve agricultureSNr markets
ing, and to make rural life nlbre at
tractivc and healthful; the need for a
law regulating cold storage in such a,
way as to limit the time which goods
may be Kept in storage, prescribing
the method Of G%isposing of them II
kept beyond the permitted period, and
requiring goods released from storage
in all cases to bear the date of their
receipt. 1t would also be most service
able if it were provided, that all goods
released from cold storage for inter-
state shipment should have plainly
marked upon each package the selling
or market price at which they. went
into storage, in order that the pur-
chaser might be able to learn what
profits stood between. him and. the
producers. or the wholesale dealar.
Indeed, 1t would be very serviceable
to the public if all goods destined for
Interstate commerce. were made to

strengthening of all instrumentalities
by which difficulties are to be met and
removed and-justice dealt out, Wheth-

to be my privilege at present to Tsug-'

discover the way and the method.
