Senate passes drastic food control bill amid bitter debate
A week ago Saturday the United States senate approved a sweeping food control bill by 81 to 6. The measure calls for a three member food administration board and government control from mine to consumer. It sets a minimum $2.00 per bushel price for high grade wheat through July 1, 1919 and fixes grain prices proportionally. The bill now must go to conference with the House. A Kansas crop plan to plant 10,000,000 acres is noted amid broader war economy shifts. The piece includes local editorials lampooning a former Algona Courier owner and implying political fealty differences.
