In speech at New York Oct. 10
1906, United States senator Beveridse,
OF Indiana, said:
"Nearly everybody eats meat, and so
long as everybody eats meat the meat
industry should he organized so that
1t can serve all the people. But the
government OF all the people. whom the
organized meat Industry serves, should
see that it deals justly by all the peo,
pie whom 1t serves.
"And so, while the government OF
all the people should not own the meat
industry that serves all the people. II
should regulate the meat Industry that
serves all the people. When that bust,
ness becomes so great that 1t affects
all the people II becomes not only a
private business but a public business
The profits for Its owners are no longer
the sole consideration, but the health OF
the people Is also consideration"
\ReSA
The United States government Is to
withdraw its suits against the Beef
Trust because the government Is afraid
that it would not get justice In Its
