The Second Wicks Bill 
(Continued from page 587) 
the reform could be accomplished as well 
under the present law as under the pro¬ 
posed measure. Clear-seeing men know 
that the new move is a purely political 
trick. The purpose is not to remove 
politics from the Agidcultural Depart¬ 
ment, but to put politics into the Foods 
and Markets Department, which is the 
only Department of the State now free 
from politics. The original purpose of the 
same influence to wipe out the Market De¬ 
partment entirely were far better. That 
course would at least save expense, and 
it would avoid further political scandal. 
Nothing can be done under the proposed 
new law that cannot be done by the law 
now on the statute books. 
Influences Concerned. —(It is signi¬ 
ficant that the milk trust and all the 
dealers and speculators in foods favor 
the new measure. Every man who fav¬ 
ored the old bill is for this one. Every 
man who opposes the Towuer-Smith 
milk 'bill favors the Wicks bill. You 
could not ask a clearer line-up between 
the friends of privilege and the plain 
people. They favor it alone because of 
the principles defined at the opening of 
this article. Every man who sides with 
them must now do so with his eyes wide 
open. No lure of position or profit could 
induce us to follow them in this aband¬ 
onment of the best agricultural interests 
of the State. 
Reforming Distribution. —The new 
YVicks bill would be a step backwards; 
but, even it could not stop the demand 
for reform in distribution. They may de¬ 
lay real progress, but nothing can now 
stop it. But do not believe they can 
pass it. If they do it will have the effect 
of sending some new men to Albany next 
year, an^ it will hasten the organization 
of a real farm party in the State. We 
are coming to this as they did in North 
Dakota, and the quicker the politicians 
force it upon us the better. 
Farm Influence Needed. —After 
their vigorous protest against the first 
Wicks bill and its demise, it is a de¬ 
fiance to farm sentiment to bring up this 
new measure. The demand from all 
over the State was to kill the Wicks 
hill and quit. Even with all the poli¬ 
tical pressure of the leaders behind this 
bill, it is our judgment that it cannot 
pass. But now is the time to make the 
Senator and Assemblyman from your 
district understand what you want them 
to do. This will be a real test of per¬ 
severing farm influence at Albany.
