Packing Houses Next.

The war department court of inquiry
is about to shift its base of operations.
The remainder of this week will be
devoted to examination of meat pack
ing methods at Chicago, Omaha and
Kansas City. Undoubtedly the pack
ers will receive a large amount Of val
liable advertisement, and this. too. at
a nominal cost to themselves. The COM
mission will not be shown anything in
these cities that is not in line with
the best, cleaneSt and most scientific
methods of preparing the great Amer
lean staple, and the commissioners re-
port will dwell largely upon these
points. This will rebound to the nrofit
of the packers.
Still, it must be confessed that tbis

court was appointed. The question
was not, Can the Western packers

Foolish and Unjust.

Some fellow has introduced a bill In the
Minnesota legislature to compel every person
to pay for and procure license before he
will be permitted to do any hunting for game
in this state license fee of s25 will be
charged for residents, and one-dollar
fee for residents. This seems like foolish
ard unjust law We would favor the restric-
don or If need be, the absolute prohibition
OF pot-hunting. but to compel citizen Of
this state to go to the county clerks office
and procure license before he can go out
for an afternoons shoot is most provoking
and unwarranted piece Of legislation to saw
the least. 1t is nothing more nor less than
the consumation of an organized effort on
the part of the clerks Of the state to increase
the fees Of their offices at the expense of the
people. and the Tribune cannot lead itself
to believe that our present legislature will
give the proposed easure serious thought
