Retailers of Every City are
Organized.
Farmers are not Getting
High Prices.
The Secretary of Agriculture Expects
to Show That Meat and Flour are
Now Being Sold by Americans
Cheaper i'm Foreign Markets than
TO the People of This Country
saye he win Soon he Able TO Prove
This.
By United Press Wire.

Washington, Jan. 24-"It's the
trusts, the miserable little comblna-
tions in every town and city in the
United States that keep the prices OF
food so high" declared Secretary Will
son, of the department of agriculture
when he was asked by the district
committee of the house today to put
his finger on the men responsible fo1
the prevailing high prices of food.
stuffs.
That secretary declared that the re-
tallers i'm every city are organized and
that they take from eighteen to sixty
per cent. as their profit after the
meat comes through several hands
from the farmer TO them. Shreve-
port and Mobile, he declared, top the
list, demanding sixty per cent. profit
whit many cities take only eighteen
per cent. New York and Philadel-
phla merchants are satisfied. he de-
clared, with twenty per cent, while
the merchants of the national capital
take forty-two per cent.
Some of the statements relating TO
the food situation made to the COM
mittee by Wilson today were:
I'VE have been conducting an ex-
haustive investigation and are still
working. We have found that the
farmer does not get any more for his
two year old steer than he did twelve
years ago.
II haven't the facts at hand, but
we are gathering them, and I expect
to show that the food products of the
American farm are being sold cheaper
in foreign countries than they are in
the United States--I mean meat and
bread.
Fewer farmers are feeding their
grain this winter than for years be-
cause they got their fingers burned
last year feeding sixty cent corn to a
steer that they could not get return
out of
"One of the reasons why meat Is
so high Is because there are not
enough people farming profitably in
America; they are not making an acre
produce enough; they are not get
ting enough out of a days work"
The secretary went into the high
prices of food exhahstively and indi-
Gated that his department would
shortly make public a sensational in
dictment of the very men who are
responsible for the enormous increase
in prices.
"We cannot tell now what we are
doing because we do not believe in
shutting the door in our faces" he
said, but you who have the power to
remedy the situation and will get all
our reports before any one else gets
them If you want to.

this means that the farmer should
raise the steer, butcher II and then
retail II out in the cities. This would
get rid of railway charges, the pack
ers, the retail butcher and others.
Just how the farmer could succeed in
supplying the great cities with meat
on such a basis remains for Mr.. Will
son to explain
The high prices of all things is be-
ing laid to the continued heavy out
put of gold. While last years output
from the Rand and other South Afri-
can districts was larger than the pre-
vious year, It is a fact that for the
first time December just closed show
ed a decrease. Some authorities on
such questions declare that IL this
marks a turning point il will not be
very long until all prices will decline
and there may be agitation about
lower prices.

CARRYING THE MAILS.

N. b. Williams of Fayetteville, who
wants all four-pound packages to go
by mail and not express, has found
O champion in a Kansas congressman,
Victor Murdock. Mr.. Murdock froths
at the mouth because the express
companies make money and the gov
ernment loses. This is due he says to
the fact that packages generally go
by express and not by mail. He
would prohibit the express companies
from carrying such packages. Mr..
Murdock fails TO explain why the
postoffice-which Socialists always
point OUT as a shining example OF
what the government can do when 1t
goes into business--is unable to COM
pete with the exrpess companies in
the package business. Here is the
postohice, the peoples institution, and
owned by the people; yet they pre-
fer TO trade with the octopus. Why?
Nevertheless, the government does
handle some packages and one trouble
is that the more patronage the post
Office gets from congressman and
other customers the worse off it is.
1t appears that Congressman
Charles "A. Korbly of the Seventh
Indiana district is candidate for re-
election. This is his first experience
in congress, but he is already alert
10 his privileges and prerogatives
and he does not intend to let any op-
portunity pass that may be turned to
his advantage. One OF the congress
sional perquisites that has taken Mr..
Korbly's eye is the garden seed graft.
He has observed that many of his
colleagues have been SENDING seeds
home to expectant constituents with
good effect. Reasoning that IL this is
q good dining for them 1t is a good
thing for him. Mr.. Korbly has gone
