other party at interest," to review the 

 terms of contracts and prices. 



The commission's recommendation, it 

 stated; was based on the following con- 

 clusions: 



1. That producers of identified goods 

 should be protected in their intangible 

 property right or good will, created 

 through years of fair dealing and of sus- 

 tained quality of merchandise; 



2. That the unlimited power both to 

 fix and to enforce and maintain resale 

 prices may not be made lawful with 

 safety; and 



3. That unrestrained price-cutting is 

 not in the public interest, and tends, in 

 the long run, to impair, if not to 

 destroy, the production and distribution 

 of articles desirable to the public. 



SEED APPBOPRIATIONS VETOED. 



"When the president vetoed the agri- 

 cultural appropriation bill July 12, be- 

 cause it contained a repeal of the day- 

 light saving act, he rejected at the same 

 time the appropriations of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture for the work of 

 the bureau of markets, which has car- 

 ried on the reporting of seed crop con- 

 ditions. It is doubtful, even if the 

 bill is passed with the objectionable re- 

 peal clause omitted, as is expected, 

 whether the bureau of markets will be 

 able to do much towards reporting seed 

 crop conditions during the coming year. 

 Instead of the $150,000 appropriated by 

 the feed production act of November 

 21, 1918, the amount allotted for the 

 coming year is $50,000, plus $14,880 

 voted for the salaries of men in this 

 section. The difference, .$95,120, is ap- 

 proximately two-thirds of the original 

 sum allowed for the work. 



In the vetoed bill is also the appro- 

 priation for free seeds, amounting to 

 $358,980. The sum of $36,680 was to be 

 devoted to studying and testing com- 

 mercial grass seeds. 



President Wilson's reason for reject- 

 ing the bill was the repeal of the day- 

 light saving contained in it. Since this 

 clause lacked eight votes of enough to 

 override the president's veto, the agri- 

 cultural appropriation bill will, after be- 

 ing referred back to committee, be 

 passed without it.
