Germans Tired of High-Priced
Meats.

This is not the only country where
the public howl about the high cost
of living, and particularly the price
of meat In the older counties of
Europe, where the population is dense
and the local supply of live stock
small meat values have reached such
lofty altitude that even the well-to
do are making vigorous kick. Of
course, the poor people, the peasant
class, do not count in this problem,
because they don't get any meat to
speak of any way. Another effort was
made yesterday to induce the reichstag
to take down the fence and let in
American products, but there was
the usual howl from the agrarians,
who own the live stock, and of course
profit greatly by the inflated values. =

as follows:
With all the ST. ength that the move
ment has gathered we want to en-
phaslze at this convention the follow
ing points:
1. The necessity of building trunk
lines. rather than lateral lines, so as
to help the greatest good to the great
est mum Der and avoid the "pork barrel
theory" of grabbing what we can.
II. We want to emphasize what bad
roads have cost each county and to
discuss the roads of Washington,
rather than the roads of Rome, France
or England.
III. We want to emphasize the
feasibility of bonding the counties.
". We want to emphasize the nee
essity of developing a public opinion
that will prohibit franchises being
granted on county or state roads.
V. We want to emphasize that this
movement is a movement of the man
from the country as we'll as the man
from the city.
vi. We want to emphasize more
detailed organization in each county,
and the necessity of more followers
in each county, in order to develop
constituency that will combine with
neighboring counties, in order to pro-
duce through county commissioners,
engineers, and leading citizens the
trunk line theory.
