F. D. COBURN APPOINTED
SENATOR FROM KANSAS

Topeka, Kan, June 5.-Foster
Dwight Coburn was appointed United
States senator late yesterday afternoon
by Gov. Hoch to succeed J. r. Bur-
ton, who resigned earlier in the day.
Mr.. Coburn has not definitely accept
ed, nor was he candidate for the ap-
polntment.
He has for the last sixteen years
served as secretary of the Kansas state
board of agriculture and is we'll known
all over the country for his agricul-
tural reports. His home is in Kansas
City, Kan. He was commissioner Of
live stock exhibits at the St. Louis ex-
position.
The appointment came as a sur
prise, but is meeting with general sat
isfaction all over Kansas, Mr.. Coburn
being probably the most popular man
in the Republican party in the state.
Senator Burton placed his resigna-
ton in the hands of Gov. Hoch after
a conference here yesterday with sew
eral close friends, but declined to talk
for publication.

Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1906-06-07

Under existing laws the government
has NO power to enforce inspection of
the many forms of prepared meat food
products that are daily going from the
packing houses into interstate CON-
merce. Owing to the inadequate ap-
preparation the department of agricul-
ture Is not even able to place inspect
ors in all establishments desiring that.
The present law prohibits the ship
ment Of uninspected meat to foreign
countries, but there is no provision
forbidding the shipment of uninspec-
ted meats in Interstate commerce, and
thus the avenues Of interstate COM
merce are left open to traffic in dis
eased or spoiled meats.
II, as has been alleged on seemingly
good authority. further evils exist,
such as the improper use of chemicals
and dyes the government lacks power
to remedy them. A law is needed
which will enable the inspectors of the
general government to inspect and SUI
pervise from the hoof to the can the
meat food products.
The evil seems to be much less in
the sale of dressed carcasses than in
the sale of canned and other prepared
products, and very much less as re-
CARDS products sent abroad than as re-
CARDS those used at home.
Reason for Fee System.
In my judgment the expense of the
inspection should be paid by fee
levied on each animal slaughtered. If
this is not done, the whole purpose
of the law can at any time be defeated
through an insufficient appropriation,
and whenever there is no particular
interest in the subject it would not
only be easy but natural to make the
appropriation insucfiiient. If it were
not for this consideration l should
favor the government paying for the
inspection.
The alarm expressed in certain
quarters concerning this feature
should be allayed by realization that
in no case, under such law, will the
cost of inspection exceed cents per
head.
call special attention to the fact
that this report is preliminary, and
that the investigation is still untinish-
ed. 1t is not yet possible to report Oh
the alleged abuses in the use of dele
terious chemical compounds in con-
nection with canning and preserving
meat products. nor on the alleged doc
toring in this fashion Of tainted meat
and of products returned to the pack
ers as having grown unstable from
age or from other reasons. Grave al

As TO S70CKYARDS'
President SENDS PRELIMINARY
REPORT TO CONGRESS.
Says Present Meat Inspection Is
Inadequate and that Changes
are Necessary in the Interest
of Decency--Congress Should
Take Immediate Action.

Washington, June 5.-The follow.
ing message of President Roosevelt
concerning conditions in the Chicago
stock yards was delivered to congress
yesterday:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives: 1 transmit herewith the
report of Mr.. James Bronson Rey-
nolds and Commissioner Charles p.
Neill, the special committee whom
appointed to investigate the condi.
tions in the stock yards of Chicago,
and report thereon to me.
This report is of a preliminary ma
ture. submit it to you because it
shows the urgent need of immediate
action by congress in the direction of
providing a drastic and thorough-g go
ing inspection by the federal govern
ment Of all stockyards and packing
houses and of their products 80 far as
the latter enter into Interstate or for
eign commerce.
The conditions shown by even this
short inspection to exist in the Chi
cago stock yards are revolving. 1t is
imperatively necessary, in the interest
of decency, that they should be radi-
cally changed. Under the existing
law it is wholly impossible to secure
satisfactory results.
Shows Law Defective.
When my attention was first direct
ed to this matter an investigation was
made under the bureau of animal in
dustry Of the department of agricul-
ture. When the preliminary state
ments of this investigation were
brought to my attention they showed
such defects in the law and such
wholly unexpected conditions that
deemed it best to have a further and
immediate investigation by men not
connected with the bureau, and ac-
cordingly appointed Messrs. Reynolds
and Neill. 1t was impossible under
the existing law that satisfactory work
should be done by the bureau of ami
NAL industry. l am now, however,
examining the way in which the work
actually was done.
Before had received the report of
Messrs. Reynolds and Neill had d.
rected that labels be placed on any
package of meat food products should
state only that the carcasses of the
animals from which the meat was
taken had been inspected at the time
of slaughter. If inspection of meat
food products at all stages of prepare
ton is not secured by the passage of
legislation recommended I shall feel
compelled to order that inspection
labels and certificates on canned pro-
ducts shall not be used hereafter.
The report shows that the stock
yards and packing houses are not kept
even reasonably clean, and that the
method Of handling and preparing food
products is uncleanly and dangerous
to health.
