SENATE FOOD PROBE
IS STILL WORKING

WASHINGTON. April 25.-Why pork
chops and pork roasts cost more now
than two, three and four years ago. was
the subject OF expert testimony given at
the senate food probe today by Peter w.
Petersons OF Clay county. S. D. Mr..
Petersons said he sold hogs at prices
ranging from $3.50 a hundred pounds in
1900 to $3.50 in 1903. The price then
jumped to $3.50 as the average from
January ] TO this week
Corn, the product on which hogs chiefly
are fattened. averaged 5si cents a busheI
In 1908 and 56l cents in 1909, in conpari-
son with from 33 to 10 cents several Years
ago.
Now said Mr. .Petersons pork is
high because there are not enough hogs
to supply the demand and corn is low
because there are not enough hogs to
eat the supply"
MIR, Petersons showed the average wage
paid to farm hands had almost doubled
In ten years, that the value of grain
producing farm lands had actually dou-
bled In his section, that the cost OF farm
implements had Increased 25 per cent.
that clothing cost the farmer from % to
80 per cent more, and that everything
else he had to buy showed corresponding
increases.
Yet. he said. he was making good
profits and did not feel the 1907 panic
at all,

the "traffic agreement scheme" Mr.
Dolliver asserted it was in effect a
mere renewal Of the pooling system OF
the past.
The fact that the Republican plat.
form declares for the traffic agree.
ment, he said, is not sufficient reason
for providing for them by law. and he
rldiculed the declaration in the plat,
form for agreements which do not inter
fere with competition. He could not
bring himself to advocate the agree
mcnt, even if Mr.. Roosevelt had pro-
nounced for them.
Speaking of the Crawford Elkins
amendment. Mr.. Dolliver said;
1t legalizes what is now criminal,
and scoffed at the idea of the commits
sion reducing the traffic agreement rates
saying they could no more accomplish
the task than could ga woodpecker cut

Doom Of Bossism.
Mr., Dolliver closed his remarks with
prediction of the speedy termination
of the political corruption that places
the control of the states and cities in
the hands of party bosses and derives
its legislation orders from the attorney,
