MEATS AND THE TARIFF.

In an interview the other day
Senator Bristow said: Recently at
Goodland, Kan, 400 miles north
west of Kansas City. | asked retail
meat dealer where he got his meats.
He said 1t came, dressed, from Kan
sas City packers. Now let me ex-
plain the history of that meat he
was selling. 1t was raised out in
western Kansas. Later 1t was ship
ped from the grass country to CEN
trail or eastern Kansas, to be fed and
finished on corn. Then the finished
animals we're shipped to Kansas City,
bought, butchered, dressed-and the
carcasses shipped back to my friend
at Goodland to be retailed. Or, 1t
may be that the animal was raised
out in the range country; shipped
to Kansas City as a feeder, bought
there by farmer who had the corn
and wanted to finish bunch Of cat
tie ON it; shipped back to that mans
place in the corn belt; fed and ship
ped again to Kansas City; slaughtered
and the meat once more shipped
westward to the place Of sale. That
makes four trips by rail, two eastward
and two westward, two commissions
to be paid on transactions at the
Kansas City stock yards; a profit to
go in for each transaction To the
original cost must be added all that
freight. 1t all must be added in max
ing up the price the retail butcher
charges. The packers monopolize the
business, the huge amount of trans
portation that is involved, and the
result is the extravagant prices we
are now paying. 1t is not true that
the raiser of the meat, by reason OF
the fact that he is getting higher
price for live stock, is responsible
for the extreme prices to the con-
sumner"
This is probably intended for po-
litical consumption, or 1t argues little
familiarity with the meat business
sn the part of Mr.. Bristow. A few
years ago all western Kansas, western
Nebraska, western Oklahoma and
western Texas as we'll as practically
the entire northwest was free cattle
range. It cost nothing for pasture,
cattle were bred and marketed prof
.itably at a low price and there was
an abundance of meat. Now in all
the middle west there is no free
range, cattle are raised and pastured
on land worth So to $50 an acre.
One Of two things nappens--either
the supply falls off or the price goes
up, and when the free range was
lessened the supply did fall off until
prices for beef increased. That is
the great reason for the increase in
the price of meats.
The modern utilization Of the car
cass Of the beef is the reason why
the local butcher cannot buy first
class cattle and market them at home
as was done in the early days. The
packing house uses every part of the
carcass down to the blood for some
profitable output. The local butcher
wastes a considerable part Of the car
cass and must get out Of what he
sells enough to make up the cost,
his profit and to offset the waste,
He could not sell choice cuts as cheap
now with all the freight charges II
he were to handle high grade cattle
at home.
The politician who for the purpose
Of making votes charges everything
to the tariff ought to consider that
there are some things to be charged

COUNCIL COULD
ABOLISH SALOONS
Failure To Pass on Licenses by Sec
ond Monday in April Would Drive
LIQUOR Places Out of Business.

1t is possible for all the saloons IN
Detroit to De done away with this
spring. but 1t Is not probable.
This result could be obtained with
out any vote OF the people or local
option election. Should the common
council become so involved In dis
pute over the selection OF persons 60
whom saloon licenses should be grant
ed as to fail TO approve OF the requisite
number OF applications on the second
Monday in April, there would be no
saloons in Detroit for a year. That Is
one of the possibilities under the
Warner-Cramton law, as explaieed by
Corporation Counsel HALEY. The law
specifically provides that the applica-
tions must be favorably passed upon
by certain date. IL the council fails
to approve OF the application and
bonds by midnight of that day. no
licenses can be issued for the year.
Only very hard and prolonged
fight among the aldermen as to what
saloonkeepers should be dropped and
which retained on the list could pro-
duce such a result. That the number
will be considerably less than 1883.
however, is now admitted by all the
aldermen. Chairman link, OF the
liquor regulation committee, received
the opinion of Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Fitzpatrick Thursday morning,
and showed 1t TO other aldermen. AS
stated previously, Fitzpatrick holds
that all transfers" in which one man
disposes of a saloon business to an
other, constitute voluntary surrenders
of licenses and thereby lessen the
number OF licenses which may be
granted for the coming year.
1t is impossible to tell just how
many transfers have been made since
May /. There have been 81 such trans
fers since Sept. /. These saloons are
now running practically without
license, and could be closed at any
time by the police or anyone else who
chose to make complaint against them.
1t is probable that the council COM
mittee will find that it can accept
about 1900 applications. There are
upwards OF 500 on file.
The liquor regulation committee will
meet some time this week 10 consider
the applications. 1t is expected that
the amendment to the Watson ordi-
nance requested by Aid. Koenig, by
which II would be possible to estab-
lish a hotel, restaurant and bar at
Harper-ave. and Beaubien-st., will be
reported on favorably by the commit
tee. Only one technically stands In
the way, this being the objection rails
ed that the location Is in residence
district and that a saloon license could
be granted only by consent OF all per-
sons owning property within 300 feet
OF the place. Koenig contends that,
since the factory runs up to the edge
Of his lot, the property is not a resi-
dence section.
