Federal Plan of Putting Food Com- modities Under License System. A telegram from Herbert C. Hoover, TUnited States fcod administrator, re- ceived by Robert Scoville, federal food odministrator of Connecticut, gives in- formation concerning the federal plan ©of putting many food commodities un- der a system of licensing, effective on 1, as explained in President Wil- proclamation on the matter. For the present. the message says, Pro- prietors of hotels and restaurants and confectioners, bakers and 1ice cream manufacturers will be excepted from the list of those dealers and manu- facturers who will be required to take out licenses. All others specified in the presidents’ proclamation must ap- rly for licenses to the license division of the federal food administration at Washington, and doubtful cases of ex- emption must be referred to this di- vision for decision. The rules in regard to the licensing plan are based on thése three funda- mental principles: All profits must be kept down to the normal level of or- dinary years and the prices charged must disregard shortage of supply and be based on cost rather than market price; unnecessary delays in move- ments of food from producer to con- sumer, speculation, resales within a trade and unreasonable accumulations or hoarding must be discouraged; con- tracts for future delivery and dealings in future contracts must be eliminat- ed. The regulations do not_ attempt to change the customary channels of business distribution. “All holders of licenses will be required to make sworn monthly reports of their busi- ness, and their books m:ust always be open to_inspection. Mr. Scoville also receivad’ a_tele- gram from the food administration at Washington announcing that the state of Florida, through its federal food ad- ministrator, had challenged every state in the union to do as well as it ex- pects to do on a population percentage basis in getting signatures to the fed- eral food conservation pledged. Mr. Scoville announced that Connecticut would accept the challenge and will conduct a vigorous campaign to try to surpass Florida's efforts. LOCAL MINISTERS AT SOUTH MANCHESTER.

This’ committee has been appdinted in compliance With a request made last week by the retail mer- chants’ bureau to the diréctors of the hamber of Commerce. - The .directors of the Chamber of Commerce took the matter up and the president was au- thorized to Appoint the cominittee of three. H f Regarding the action of the local Chamber of Commerce, the New Lons don Day said editoriaily on Monday: The Norwicr, Chamber of Commerce. contempl; making a petition td the state public utilities commission that yhail aek for a general restraint upon the: fare increase recentiy establishe Ly ‘the Shore Line Electric Rallway company. i The etreet railway . company will scarcely complain at such an actiom. whatever its cpinion may be toward the propriety of it. Nor should there be other criticism. The public utilitles commussion was created with especial regard to the threshing out of ques@fSr of rates and service. It s the proper authority to invoke for arbitration. But there is an aspect of the mat- ter which should not be permitted to escape public urderstanding. _ Straet raflway charters guarantee to the incorporators, and theiw successors, ) return for the rigk of their venture, for their burdens of taxation and pub: lic service, ihe privilege of fixing rea- sonable rates, that is to say, rates which are not only rational with re. zpect to the advantage of the com. munities served but reasonable also with respect to a profit for the corpor- etion on the business which it must do, ‘Some of the older Connecticut char- ters fixed the rate rigidly by com- manding expressly five ceMt fare, then reasonable enough for lines operated within city limits, though the five cent rate of fare will no-longer yield a rea- sonable profit on invested street rafl- way capital. The newer charters were not so limited. The laws of the state do not provide deflnite rates for street railroads, nor has the Connecticut pub- lic utilities commission set up, as vet, its judgment of what percentage or return upon capital will, as thé rubs, be regarded as reasonable. The_public utilities commisaion of New York state has fixed the ordinary rule of reasonable profit as $ per cent. on the investment. This does not seem too_high. On the lines affected by the recent rate change, the annual return to the corporation, on the basis of existing costs. will not be.sufficient, as a_whole, to fully pay current interest charges. In other words, the ownership will not be making any profit whatever, not to mention a “reasonable profit” of what- cver percentaze, on investme: n none of the division8 of these lines that might on any ratiopal ground be regarded hs a separate*public-responsi- bility, or as an individual charter con- tract, can the rate of net profit reach more than 6 per cent. on thé invested capital. e Tn no case, in advance of the commission’s finding, can it seem likely that the increased rate scheme may be in justice stantially re- strained uniess it .can be shown: First, that the Increased rates will not increase revenues. Second. that deflcit from the cost of iwaintaining public service at the old rates ought to be borne by the street railway ownership and not by the patrons of the roads.- Bear in mind that such a burden could not be borne by the rallways without credit. and tbat credit is im- possible without profita. 1t either contention should hold, then the only sane recourse left for the cwners would be first of all receivess ship, with its hard penaities both upon ownership ond service, and after- ward a plea for public ownenshi Public ownership, with its resources of taxation, is the only ownership that can do business without obtaining costs from the receipts of operation. Could public ownership maintain #con- omies, and afford sufficient service im- Frovement to ofiset private ownership's recessary impesition of somewhat higher fares? _ That is the question which, however. a petition to the public utilities com. mission In this street railwa fare mat- ter might terminate, muat be inevita- bly brousht up for verdict by-publiz resistance of higher fares for the Teeting of higher costs. The nation’s capitalists have absolutely refused, and justifiably so, to stand by street railway companies on any gther inter- | pretation of the word “reasonable” in street railway charters. They can see no _reasonableness in investing their ‘money to certain loss, or in voluntari- 1y assuming a public bufden with les than the least appreciation or reward. ' i i FUNERAL.
