that, he is right in wishing this review
restricted 1890

Another amendment will be aimed
at that proposition in the bill which
provided that the government pay all
| the cost of the inspection. Mr.. Davis
as in the past has been that rule, to
pay for the inspection on the hoof and
of the carcasses after Strengthening, but
he also thinks that the packers ought
to pay for all the inspection in con
nection with the preparation of their
canned products. it being here that all
the present trouble has had its start.
To Compel Inspection.
Mr.. Davis also holds that the anti
mortem inspection should be manda.,
agriculture is to make these inspec-
tions, and Mr.. Davis holds that he
should not be permitted to have any
discretion as to the necessity for them.
The bill as reported from the major
ity Of the committee provides that the
| civil service rules shall be suspended
for one year. Mr.. Davis objects to
this, as does Mr.. Bowie. and the latter
will try to have it stricken from the
| bill on point of order as new legis-
, 1ation.. ,.,
The bill carries a total Of $2,7SO,OOO
| for inspection during the next fiscal
year. 100000 of which is in the
form of. q permanent annual appropria-
ton and the rest merely an appropria-
tion for one year. -.
With the amendments which Mr..
the bill would not be a bad one in it's
essential features, and in fact would
be very much more just than it would
| be believed the majority Of the COM
mitt ;se, would !1lld consent to;
| The bill contains sufficient penalty
clauses,'' he said today to The
Journal's~ correspondent, "and
really provides for good inspection.
Under its operation it would be pos
plant to be relieved.''
Public Interest Appreciated.
In the majority report on the meas
ure, which. Chairman Wadsworth filed
in the house just before adjournment
today the statement is made that pub
lie interest In the matter is fully ap-
Rsrscbstsd also its great to
as we'll as to the health Of the people,
"Any seeming delay. the report
continues, }" has been due solely to the
desire of the committee to give this
| important subject full consideration
so that the measure which they might
present would merit the approval Of
the house and meet the expectations of
the country -. -.
An account of the hearings is given
sidering the Beveridge amendment
stated to be not only paragraph by
paragraph, but line by line and word
by word. The committeeman find them
selves in entire accord with the gen
eral purpose of this amendment, there
being no disagreement whatever, either
among members of the committee OF
among the different interests affected
upon the proposition, that the most
rigid inspection Of the meat and meat
large a part Of the food Of the coun.
try, must be insured.
but while concurring heartily IN
the general purpose of the amendment
your; committee found themselves dis.
agreeing to such an extent with its
requirements and phraseology that a
substitute, seemed to be the simplest
way in which to present their views.
