for this strange state Of affairs 10 that
the new cars oil have thirteen and q
half feet Roadway, while the subways
that they have to pas through, under
the railroad crossings only have twelve

City Railway people knew the dimen.
sIons Of the subways before they
bought their carA and yet they have
the nerve to ask the city to depress
the street still further and the steam
railroads to raise their tracks still
higher. This 10 the only city In the
country where street railroad com.
panles are not obliged to pay for either
elevating tracks or depressing streets
on their lines What do those street
car men take the people for. anyway?

The "city beautiful" talk makes a
fine preface to the steam, heat and
power scheme.

Oh account Of failure to maintain the
proper standard Of sanitation, and
some were for using prohibited preser.

preferred to forfeit their interstate
trade rather than stand loss from the
condemnation OF animals and meat and

fact emphasizes the necessity for

In the course OF an able editorial on
"U. 3. Inspected and Passed" In its
Issue Of Dec. 20, 1000. the Chicago
Daily News said:
1T Is well for the people Of Illinois
and OF Chicago to remember. however,
that this law applies only to Interstate
and foreign commerce. While the larger
packing houses engaged In Interstate
and foreign business doubtless will pre-
pare all their prOduct-whether for
outside or local consumption-under
the same conditions, there Ia In the
Federal law nothing which Of itself at
fords protection to the local consumer.
1t Is quite possible that some of the
smaller concerns might make bust
ness Of putting on the Illinois and Chi
cago market meat products that could
not be exported into other States. For
the protection of local consumers prop.
er local inspection may now be Of more
Importance In some instances than Il
was before the passage Of the Federal
Inspection law"
