T is the State of New York going to do as its share Ww”: the all-important task of producing and distributing food with the highest possible efficiency in war time? The State Legislature is scheduled to adjourn this week amid its @nnual deluge of 1,800 bills, wore or less, introduced in each house. In alll this mass of legislation not one measure, up to the mo- ment of writing, which deals directly with the most pressing of problems—the regulation of food supply under conditions of war! | { The Federal Government is working day and night to solve food, blems. It has earnestly desired the co-operation of all State Gov-' en! ' Yet so far the Legislature of this State has failed to respond with any definite plan of action, The best it could do was to puss a! Bill calling for more “investigation” and “dissemination of knowl- edge,” which it will take a year to get even started. j , The Evening World believes this to be all wrong. | It believes the Empire State should set an example by promptly adopting a practical, energetic programme designed to | aid Federal efforts along the line of food regulation. Some of the things this newspaper has long urged must be done fnstead of talked about to meet the crisis are embodied in a bill to be introduced at Albany to-day or to-morrow, | The provisions of this measure are immediats, specific, effective. | Whey call, for example, for— A war council, to be made up of prominent citizens, em- ! powered f carry out the provisions of the act during war time and in co-operation with already established departments of agriculture, foods and markets, &., and with the Public Ser- | ‘ vice Commissions. | Strict supervision of storage so that Government authort- | ties may readily know the exact amount of food in all ware- | houses, Continuing loans on warehouse receipts to be pro- hibited. Power to establish public terminal markets in cities, also milk stations and special facilities for collecting aud handling | milk. Power to establish rural banks, regulate the supply and price of farm implements and tools, assist the farmer !n ob: taining the extra labor he neede, help him to transport and market bis produce, and, if the farmer {8 thus protected, power to fix the maximum prices on farm products. Power to establish and encourage co-operative organiza tions among farmers and distributors in order to increase and eheapen food supplies. All this corresponds closely to Federal recommendations and is calculated to carry ont and supplement the Federal programme. In the highly important matter of distribution The Evening! World has suggested for New York a war service of surface cars to| carry food products from the various terminals to al] parts of the city in the early morning hours, when public travel is at its lowest ebb and} when power is cheapest, | a There need be no politics in legislation of this sort. Here are only direet and prac’ical measures meant to prepare this populous | and in many sections exceptionally crowded commonwealth to “meet conditions which vitally concern every man, woman areal child that lives in it. Gov. Whitman, there is reason to believe, is determined the State shall have an adequate programme of food regulation, even if he has | to call a special Bession of the Legislature to se | cure it Not Finding a Vocation to Her Liking, One Woman Decided to Create a Specialty for Hérself--How She Is Succeeding in Teaching Others the Way to Success.
