MEAT TRUST FIGURES.

Every heart will now begin throbbirg
with sympathy for the poor Meat Trust,
says the Salt Lake Herald. According
to a statement given out by the Com
missioner of Corporations, based on
figures furnished by Trust officials, the
combination only made q profit OF 80
cents per head on cattle slaughtered
during 1904. The report says that this
does not include incidental profits. We
presume this means that the profits
from the hides, hoofs, hair. horns and
other disable parts of the animals are
not to be considered as profits at all.
But how obviously unfair it is for the
Trust to say that its net profit, ex-
elusive of the ~incidentals, was only SO
cents per head. That is. after it had
paid all the expenses Of Strengthening.
after it had paid high salaries to num-
berless officials, it averaged a profit of
80 cents on the meat in every carcass
sold. 1t has long been understood that
the greatest profits now earned in the
packing house business come from the
by products. These products in the
old days went to waste to a large ex-
tent.
Under. the improved methods OF
Strengthening, refrigerating and dress
ing we are told that everything about a
steer except the below and everything
about a pig except the squeal is saved.
So, seriously, we need shed no tears for
the Meat Trust because of the state
ment, whether it is a fact or not. that
it makes only 80 cents a head on its
cattle. An interesting feature of the
report is the statement that the Meat
Trust slaughtered As per cent of the
cattle killed in the country.
Isn't that a tremendous percentage of
a necessary article of food for a single
organization to control If one man
owned 45 per cent of all the wheat i'll
the United States he would practically
control the bread market, not only of
this country, but OF the world. lt is a
mistake t suppose that the Meat Trust,
because it does not do 81 per cent of
the business, is not a combination in
restraint Of trade.
1t is a combination of that character.
1t can absolutely control, and does abb
solutely control, the price of dressed
meats wherever it desires to do so. 1t
can, and it does, fix the price of live
stock for marketing purposes, and it is
always careful to fix the prices at such
a figure that an abundant margin of
profit will be left. II the Trusts own
figures are accepted as gospel truth, it
must stand convicted.

Handing Out Hot Packages to Washoe.
For several days past the representa-
tives in the Assembly have been hand
ing but some pretty hot packages to the
Washoe delegation. At the outset of
the session the eight votes Of Washoe
hung together like they were one voice.
and as a consequence they carried about
every measure that was before them or
that they desired, and defeated meas
ures that they had any objections to.
During the past week the tables have
been turned. The representatives from
the other sections have joined issues
with the result that whenever a Was
hoe measure comes up it is as apt to be
tabled as anything else. The boys take
a bill from the table, let the Washoe
boys feel good for a few minutes and
then send it back to the table. where it
rests until they want to jolly the lads
from Washoe. Had the South and East
combined earlier in the session it is
doubtless if Washoe would have been
left on the map without unanimous con-
sent.-Carson Appeal.

Topeka, March S.-During the year
ending June 80, 1902, the Atchison. To-
peka g. Santa Fe Railway Company
paid back to shippers the sum Of 3d..
1873, 352. This fact was developed in
the examination of W. ]. Healy. freight
auditor Of the Santa Fe, before the At
torney General, who is taking deposi.
tions in the case he has instituted to
ascertain whether or not the Santa Fe
is violating the antitrust law of Kan
sas.
Mr.. Healey said that the amount con-
stituted the total over charges made
for the year. 1t is the theory of the
State that these over charges are in
reality rebates and that an examination
of the vouchers will show that the
greater portion of the payments have
been made to the Standard Oil Com.
pany and other concerns.

To Investigate Insurance Companies
A resolution has been introduced in
the New York Senate providing for an
investigation Of the Equitable Life As.
urance Society and Of the Washington
Life Insurance Company. The insur-
ance companies doing business in New
York are said to have a surplus of $20C..
600, 900 and their reports do not show
how it has been invested or managed.
Attention is called to the reports that
the surplus of the Equitable has been
used for purposes other than the bene-
fit Of the policy holders. Under the
terms of the resolution, the Judiciary
Committee is asked to decide whether
the surplus Of life insurance companies
should be distributed to the policy
holders, and whether the distribution
should be in cash. or whether it should
be applied to the reduction Of premiums.
