142 CONFERENCE ON MILK PROBLEMS 



I want to have you remember that in acting on these resolutions, 

 in a way, you are sizing up your own judgment, because we may at- 

 tempt something to-day, and next year find that something else is 

 better, and that another conference is adopting resolutions setting 

 forth more enlightened views. So, although I do not ask you 

 to adopt resolutions which, as I understand, are impersonal and not 

 made up by the Chairman of the Resolution Committee, I ask 

 you to think carefully before you either vote them down or vote 

 for them. 



Now, I believe that Dr. Wile has something to read. 



DR. I. S. WILE, CHAIRMAN, Conference Committee: Mr. Chair- 

 man and Ladies and Gentlemen, the Committee on Resolutions has 

 a number of resolutions that have come through its hands. I 

 merely wish to add to what Dr. Park has already stated, that in 

 presenting these resolutions, as Chairman of the Resolutions Com- 

 mittee, there is absolutely nothing personal in the resolutions. 

 The identity of the proposers of all the resolutions is carefully 

 concealed, instead of having them proposed by several different 

 men on the floor. 



The first resolution, Mr. Chairman, is as follows: 



"Resolved, That the State Agricultural Law should be 

 amended so as to prohibit gross or fraudulent misrepresenta- 

 tion concerning the composition, or sanitary quality of milk or 

 cream, offered for sale, and the Commissioner of Agriculture 

 should be authorized to define different grades of milk or cream 

 and publish such definitions, and any person who designates any 

 milk or cream to be in any grade when it does not conform to 

 the definition of that grade, shall be deemed guilty of fraudu- 

 lent misrepresentation." 



(It was moved and seconded that the resolution be adopted.) 



A VOICE: I would like very much to hear the resolution read 

 a second time. 



(Resolution again read.) 



THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any discussion on this? 



A VOICE: Mr. Chairman, we are all supposed to act intelli- 

 gently on these things or not vote at all. Can the Chairman tell 

 us what that means? 



THE CHAIRMAN: I think the speaker has the same amount of 

 intelligence as the Chairman. It seems to me thoroughly clear in 

 its general intent, which is that we shall first prohibit misrepre- 

 sentation, and then brand the man who does misrepresent. 



A VOICE: How are we going to arrive at any such standard?
