At TACKS BEEF
TRUST REPORT
Iowa Expert Accuses Gar
field Of Incompetency.
FIGURES, HE SAYS, WRONG
Intimates That If Commissioner Was
Not Deceived He Was Dishonest in
Framing His Statement.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April ID. j.
Ryan. secretary of the Corn Belt Meat
Producers Association, of Iowa, az a
result of two years study of the Beet
trust, has just issued a statement ana
lying the Garfield report, which has
created a sensation in Iowa
Mr.. Ryan charges Garfield with either
gross incompetency or else dishonesty
He takes UP the report in detail, and
points out wherein 1t will not stand the
test Of commercial reports, census sta
tistics, figures collated by the Depart
ment of Agriculture or any other sta
tistieal test.
The Garfield report says that the big
Strengthening concerns killed only as per
cent Of the beef in 1903. Mr.. Ryan finds
that they killed from 60 to 10 per cent.
Mr.. Ryan obtained statistics from
dealers in Iowa, and found the average
person In cities and towns of this State
consumes less than 100 pounds Of beef
Garfield credits to him.
Mr. Ryan concludes that the Garfield
report about doubles the amount OF beet
slaughtered outside the plants of the big
packers. That is, instead of slaughter
ing less than half the cattle, the big
trust packers kin rather more than two
thirds.
The Ryan analysis proceeds TO argue
| that it is we'll known that the largest
and latest cattle go to the big packers.
| Thus, even if it were true that they
were killing only II per cent of the total
number of cattle, they would be killing
| at least 80, and probably so, per cent OF
| the number of pounds of beef.
! Mr.. Ryan finds also that the commis-
sioner overlooked many sources Of pront
| to the big packers. The statement that
| it costs them 1919 per head to handle
cattle, he ridicules, and points out that
! If 1t be true then the boosted economics
| of great modern factory methods OF con-
Quoting an industry are a fake: for the
| farmer can kill his own beef, sell the
| hide to one man and the carcass to al
other, and do it all for far less than
| this.
| The absorption Of a large part of the
packers profits by the stock yards com
| panies, nearly all of which the packers
| control, is discussed by Mr.. Ryan He
shows the excessive charges for every
| thing in the stock yards-feed, commits
sion, yardage, etc.-and demonstrates
that thes excessive charges result IN
| immense profits on capitaliZatfons Of the
stock yards companies that are largely
| water.
! Mr. Ryan finally compares the Gar
field report on the total number of cat
tie annually killed in the country with
| the census and Agricultural Department
reports. He finds that If there were
missioner Garfield claims, the nationa
herd would be constantly growing
| smaller. and would IN a decade or two
| be extinguished. for Mr.. Garfield makes
| the total slaughter larger than the tota
| increase by reproduction.

Kaneko's Defense.
In part Baron Kaneko said:
ITO meet such attacks we appointed
two professors on international law, 1t
being our desire to conduct this war in
accordance with the principles of Chris
tan humanity against Pagan nation.
II can stand here before this large
audience, in the greatest metropolis OF
the greatest nation and truthfully say
that in this war we have not violated
one point in international law.
1--WE have supplied $500 doctors and
nurses to the Red Cross in Japan, and
we have cared for the wounded of our
enemy as we nave for our own.
Humanity Taught.
"a special point in our military train
ing is humanity and to teach that braS-
ery by mere force is animal brutality
and not bravery. 1t is our hope TO build
I'D our nation by Anglo-SaXon civiiiZa-

and political liberty. We had liberal

This is a special point in our educa-

Many Other Proposals.

This proposal, before it can lake legis-
lative form. must fight for position with
a great mass of other suggestions
There is no testimony before the Senate
committee to show that railway rates
are generally exorbitant, or that they
have been raised within the last few
years out of keeping with the advance
in other prices. Classifications have been
changed in many cases. so that rates
have been pushed upward without at
tracing the notice of the casual OBJ
server. Lower class articles have been
placed in higher classes,
The abuses against which the people
clamor are no, the advances in rates.
Discrimination of various sorts is the
thing which has disturbed the shipping
world. The Standard Oil Company, by
rebates and other railway discrimina-
tions. has put most of it's competitors
out of business. There Is evidence that
it is still accomplishing the same old
end, through favorable terms In the pub
lished schedules.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1905-04-03
Two Reports Expected.

As a matter of course, Senators will
not take the testimony Of either side too
seriously, but will bring into play their
reputation for cool elaboration and sure
Judgment. 1t is the geenral opinion now
that the committee will lay before the
Senate in the falldwo reports, one of the
majority and one of the minority
The majority report will be, it is pre-
dicted, compromise between the claims
of the railroads and the claims of those
who are clamoring for drastic legislation
to control the railroads.
President Roosevelt has asked that
the interstate Commerce Commission be
given power to upset an unreasonable
rate, Its substitute 10 remain in force
until set aside by a court of competent
Jurisdiction. This power is considered
the key to the railway rate situation.
And, curiously enough, the adjustment
of the rate Is not the important part,
but it's remaining in force pending litiga-
ton.
