Chicago. Nov. S.-Municipal abat-
#tcirs are proposed as Il means to
eliminate the big packers, who now
are held responsible for the high cost
of bacon along with other things both
reasonable and unreasonable. The
success OF the plant in Paris, Texas, as
we'll as In France and other foreign
countries has offered this as means
to end. the continual clash between the
growers of meut on the one hand and
the consumers on the other with the
packer necessarily in between getting
the Kicks FROM both sides. The prop
oSitiun involves the acquisition of the,
STOCK yards ana the big packing plants
by the city or state in the belief that
this Will reduce the cost of meats to
the consumers. The first argument
raised against this radical proposal
is the fact that the big packers do
business on margin SO narrow, about
3 per cent on the gross sales that
profits easily could become losses and
that the losses would run to huge
sums The man who likes bacon for
breakfast objects to paying present re-,
tail prices of 35 cents aFpound, and
the explanation of the retailers and
packers; has not Gained him. that eX-
PLANTATION being that the hogs received
are too fat and that the majorit: of
people like their bacon best plentiful
~ streakcd With lean. A retailer who
runs one of the largest and best mar
kets predicts that the prices Will con-
5tinle high for several months. but sug-
Gcsts that the eating OF bacon Is nor
compulsory IN Chicago, or any where
else and that other meats are now
down to moderate figures. Horace
Fletcher moreover asserts that by his
system of thorough food-chewing he
has lost his taste for meat along with
the taste for liquor and tobacco and
finds potatoes and starchN food. moro
pulatable than the best meat that Is
offered. Fletchers following Is large
and the menu he recommends of no
breakfast, lunch OF baked Potato,
glass of cream, some bread and but
ter and a sliced tomato. and a dinner
of soup, potatoes. nuts and bread is
being tried out in many households.
Grocery bills thus can be cut to one,
third. according to Fletcher. However,
the cleavers are busy In the meat
shops and the daily clash between
the shippers of live stock and the
packers takes place at the privately
owned yards.

BUBBLE PRIcKED.

One of the Imposing bubbles blown
by the congressional agitators who love
to assert that the country Is going to
the bow-wows because of the "hundreds
of millions Of tribute" paid to foreign
ship-owners by American commerce
was pricked here this week by the COM
nonsense observation Of one of tho
leading exporters Of the country that
eli more than Ona-half the total for
eign commerce of the country the cost
of ocean transportation, whether it be
high or low, is paid by foreigners and
not by Americans. The usual method
of the alarmlsts In estimating the
amount paid out by this country In
ocean freights is to compute it on both
the export and import business OF tile
United $4,000, 900, 900 is the figure
commonly used. AS the commercial
authority already referrcdsto points out
however, the exports Of the United
States greatly exceed the imports In
normal years and asst Is an accepted
rule, of trade that the consumer ulti-'
matcly pays the freight as well as all
other handling charges under ordinary
conditions. the foreign buyers of Amer

siderably more than half the amount
