The Legislature Of Minnesota has passed
so called inspection bill that Is designed
TO exclude dressed beef shipped from
other states. the House giving IL ma.
iOrity of II to 90 Ii is noticeable that
while the admitted purpose Of the advo-
Gates Of The bill was 70 exclude imported
beef for the benefit Of local farmers and
slaughterers, the plea commonly used by
them in debate was that the imported
beef was diseased although no proof in
support Of this assertion was produced
Two or three friends of the bill openly
confessed, however, that their aim was
TO raise the price of cattle and of the
meat consumed in the cities Of
the state. 1.-The demand is rapidly in
creasing, said one Of them, Z" but prices do
not keep up with it, The provisions of
the measure relating to inspection are so
loose that the advocates Of exclusion say
they "hope TO see them made effective
by supplemental legislation, but it Is
well known that the demand for sanitary
inspection was a mere pretense The law
may be pronounced unconstitutional, but
If It should be enforced the state of Min
nesota would not suffer as Eastern states
would under the requirements of similar
laws, for its cities are so much nearer
the cattle ranges Cattle that are nov
brought TO Chicago can easily be sent to
ST. Paul, and If the local slaughterers
shall not fully supply the market at fair
prices the slaughterers Of Chicago will
