One Mon re THE TERMINAL MARKET PLAN. N THEIR REPLIES to the direct question put to them individ by a terminal market system to be established by legislative act as a means of reducing the cost of farm produce to city consumers, mem ally The Evening World, whether or not they will vote for bers of the new State Legislature are putting themselves on reeurd regarding a proposal which deeply concerns not only the interests of 5,000,000 people in this metropolis, but also the prosperity of thon-| sands of farmers and the development of hundreds of smailer com- munitics up-State. The terminal An imperfect application of it, put through the Legislature in 1915, was vetoed by Mayor Mitchel | oan have the benefit of much later experience and data, For concise statement of conditions which the terminal market | plan aims to remedy, we had the report of Frederick Hobbes Allen, | formerly member of the American Commission on Agricultural Con- ditions in Europe: “In this country,” declared Mr, Allen, “out of the dollar paid by the consumer in the case of a majority of farm prod- ucts, the farmer does not receive more than thirty-five cents, while the agents of distribution get the other sixty-five cents. “In Europe, one may state as a general proposition, these figures are reversed, the farmer getting sixty-five cents and the bandlers thirty-five cents. “If the handling of produce could be done in the system- atic manner of the transportation companies, the sixty-five cents of the consumer's dollar should be reduced to thirty- five cents in this country as it 1s in Europe.” “In Europe,” Mr. ducing the cost to the consumer and the risk of marketing to th ducer is the establishment of public markets. Our municipalities cm do no better work for their citizens than to bring about the establisn- | ment of such markets under municipal control.” | Granted Europe is not America, granted housekeepers in Ne ew | York are not as thrifty in their buying as those of Paris or Berlin, | granted the former demand far more in the matter of convenience and credit than any other housekeepers in the world We believe all farm products which arrive for sale in New York City could and should be recorded each day by public officials acting in the interest of the public. We believe the storing or distributing of such products could and should be supervised, and to a great extent determined, by puslic officials in the interest of the public, rather than for the private gain of brokers or commission men for whom the handling of food is a speculative game. We believe many of these commission agents who stand in the middle and help hold back produce that ought to be sold, taking from the farmer with one hand and from the consumer with the other, could be eliminated, We believe, in short, there are too many wheels in the machinery The best way to cut out the useless and expensive parts would scem to be to establish terminal markets where produce direct from the farmer can be sold to retail dealers or to individual purchasers under the guarantee of the city that the prices paid are fixed by the relation of actual supply to actual demand, and not by the manipula tions of some group of speculating middlemen helped by a eoid storage clique. ‘ It is the obvious duty of every legislator elected by the peopl: of this city and State to study the terminal market plan from a point of | view free of party or political bias, What is proposed is solely an economic adjustment carrying far-reaching benefits. The Legisla- ture cannot afford to treat it as anything else. market idea is not new. A new measure use of certain mandatory provisions.
