natural thus to make the appropriation

The alarm expressed in certain quar-
tiers concerning this feature should be al
layed by a realization of the fact that
in no case under such law will the cost
of inspection exceed s cents per head.
l call special attention to the fact that
this report is preliminary and that the
investigation is still unfinished. 1t is not
yet possible to report on the alleged abuses
in the use of deleterious chemical COM
pounds in connection with canning and
preserving meat products. nor on the al
legged doctoring in. this fashion of faint
ed meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unstable or
unusable from age or from other reasons.
Grave allegations are made n reference
to abuses of this nature.
Law Needed to Stop Abuse.
Let me repeat that under the present
law there is practically no method of
stopping these abuses if they should be
discovered to exist. Legislation is need
ed in order to prevent the possibility of
all abuses in the future. If no legisla-
tion is passed then the excellent results
accomplished by the work of THIS special
committee will endure only so long as the
memory of the committees work is fresh
and reerudescence of the abuses is alb
solutely certain.
l urge the immediate enactment into
law of provisions which win enable the
Department of Agriculture adequately to
inspect the meat and meat-foOd products
entering into interstate commerce and to
supervise the methods of preparing the
same and to prescribe the sanitary cendi-
lions under which the work shall be per-
formed. I therefore commend to your IA
yorable consideration and urge the enact
ment of substantially the provisions
