MEAT RETAILER
HIT HARD HERE
One Local Market Forced to
Suspend Because of Cur
tailment of Purchases.
PEOPLE ARE EATING LESS
Impossible for Him to Increase Price
to Conform to Advances Impos-
ed by the Packers.

Few consumers appreciate that the
local retail meat merchant is having
a hard time to make any profit from
the sale of meat at present and that
more often he sells at a loss rather
than at profit. During the past week
one firm has closed its doors, and the
reason was that the retail price had
not advanced in proportion with the
wholesale price and it was impossible
to keep even by the sales.
Although in most shops the amount
of sales has not decreased. less meat
has been sold by a considerable per-
cent and the profit has been decreased
accordingly. People have cut their
purchases down in most cases, but
the amount which they pay is much the
same. The wholesale price has increas-
ed almost So per cent recently, while
the retail price has not increased more
than half that much 1t is not the
fault of the packer that the prices are
so high at present. The farmer is de-
handing and is receiving a high price
for his meat. Formerly hogs sold at
cents and cents; now they sell for
IL cents. Matters are much the same
in the cases of other meats, which have
increased as high as so per cent.
Ice Bill Goes Up.
With the coming of summer and
the hot weather, the meat man will
have an additional expense which
helps melt the profits to an alarming
extent. That is ice. A considerable
amount is used during the summer
months by the dealer. whereas very
little is needed in the winter time.
1t is claimed if the prices remain
as they are or go any higher it is

HARBOR LINE TO BE
GIVEN BETTENDORF
Major Charles Keller Presides at a
Public Hearing in Iowa Town
Yesterday.

Major Charles Keller presided at
public meeting yesterday afternoon at
Bettendoff town hall for the purpose
of hearing interested people upon the
question of the proposed harbor line
at that point 1t is understood that
there were few DIRECTORS to the propo-
sition and all of their objections were
satisfied by private interests. A num-
Der of manufacturers representative of
the Betterdorf factories were present.
j. P. Van Patten. owner of the Moline
Bettendorf ferry, was also present.
AS long as there are no objections to
the establishment of the line upon the
part of the residents of the town, 1t
is almost certain that it will be built.
The matter rests with the secretary
of war.

Rock Island, ILL.,, March 81, 1910
Editor The Argus: Two years ago
when the local option question was
originally before the people The Ar
gus took a more positive position han
has SO far characterized it's course
this year. Has it experienced , change
of conviction with reference to local
option? LOCAL OPTION.
The Argus has experienced no
change of conviction with references
TO local option. 1t has at no time op-
posed local option. The option of dc.
termining an issue of great import
any locality. Two years ago it
took exception to the application
of the theory of prohibition to
the liquor traffic, which was then
and which in the course of human
events is again an issue before the
people. The Argus original position,
based upon principle as well as method,
has not been changed. Maintaining
two years ago that a difference Of
opinion as to the means of dealing
with so serious question did not ia
volve a defense, much less advocacy,
of the saloon as an institution, The
Argus stands today just where it did
then.
When this question was on the for
mer occasion up for consideration and
discussion, The Argus held that in its
judgment regulation, restriction and
enforcement would accomplish
practical and effective control of the
liquor traffic. In the time that mas
interviewed since the defeat of the pro-
hibition proposition this paper bas
stuck consistently and persistently to
the principles it then advocated.
That these principles have not been
applied is due to no neglect on TIE
Argus part. 1t has steadfastIy urged
regulation as contemplated by high
license; it earnestly sustained the
proposition both before the council and
before the people. 1t gave its uncom-
promising support to the restricting
ordinance and fought for it to the last
when it was before the council. 1t
rose above politics and upheld the
hands of republican mayor in every
move on his part looking to the sue
cessful and effective elimination of
evils in connection with saloons. 1t
stood by him in the enforcement of
law.
In brief. The Argus has, regardless
of everything else, faithfully fought
for the principles it has advocated md
at the same time has just as fearlessly
exposed and condemned the existence
of disreputable elements in connec-
ton with saloons, and has been a
means, more than once, of driving
them out No right thinking man,
realizing the abuses that have existed
here in Rock Island of the saloon
privileges. could for an instant say
that the traffic is worthy of considera-
ton entirely from its own standpoint.
The practices, the abominably dis
graceful practices - not of all those
engaged in the liquor business. but
Of entirely too many-have brought
odium on the saloon as whole, with
the consequence that those who seek
to conduct the business in accordance
with law and decency are made to
suffer for the dive keeper and the
join. doing business under the name
II saloon. The elements that have
thus debauched the saloon and pros
tituted the business to corrupt ends
are, it is unnecessary to say Antjt1AS
