Members OF the house of representa-
tives are now manifesting disposition
TO take the postal savings bank bill out
OF the pigeonhole where it has been
resting for some time and pass it. If
q measure along this line is not enact
ed into law by the present congress it
will be n glaring failure to redeem one
of the pledges made by the Republican
party in it's last national platform. Nor
could President Taft be blamed for this
failure, although it is likely that many
of his unfair critics would try to hold
him responsible.

That was wise decision on the part
OF the directors of the state fair not
to change it's location for this season,
at any rate. And if the space at the

these grounds will be plenty large
enough for many years to come. A

more desirable than one which is spread

NAVAL DRESS REFORM.

The question of whether or not a
sdlIor from one of Uucle Sans ships
IS dressed well enough to go to the
theater, when he has on his working
clothes, Is apparently too deep for the
arplters or costume. SO disposition is
manifest to cut the Gordian knot by
reforming the sailors uniform.
1t Is held that the everyday cos
tune OF the seaman is too different
from that of the Iandlubbers. with
its open-neck blouse and trousers that
might be described as peg. top except
tnat they have reverse English. In

OF dress. The minority gets the worst

10 the notice of civilization. with the
single exception of the plutocratic
minority that now directs the affairs
OF the world. and that is an excep-
tfonal case. The sailors costume is

"Since 1906 the number of cattle
has steadily decreased, the loss be-
tween January 1, 1909, and January
1, 1910. being over two million head"
continues Mr.. Barnes. Meantime,
the meat-eating population has grown
from fifty million in 1880 to an esti-
mated ninety million in 1910.
Study these figures and stop quar-
reling with the packers, the beef
barons-that word which rolls so glib
" from the tongue of the man-who-
doesn't know-and the cold-storage
warehouses. We are simply growing
in population faster than we are in
meat productiveness. If we will live
all punched up together in great cit
les, hundreds of miles from the points
where our food is produced, we must
pay the penalty. Cold-storage ware
houses are the only things that stand
between our cities and starvation.
They are to the consumer what the
transformers are to the electric cur
rent. They regulate the flow of food
stuffs, storing it up when there is
plenty, and then allowing it to run
out when the demand calls for it.

and time limits for cold-storage may
be demanded in the interests OF
health; but the bald fact remains that

THE PRICE OF MEAT.

Under the title THE Price of Beef
steak, Will 1t Ever Be Lower?" Mr..
Will C. Barnes, inspector of grazing
in the United States forest service,
had an interesting and instructive ar
ticle in a recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post on the much discussed
question of the day as to the reason
for the high cost of meat. It bears
out the contentious which have been
made in these columns from time to
time of late that the controlling fac
tor in the high cost of meat is a sup
ply which is in no ways commensurate
with the demand. Nor is there any
hope held out by Mr.. Barnes that the
price of meat will be much lower for
many years to come, if it ever is.
Mr.. Barnes points out what ought
to be a pretty we'll known fact that
the shortage of supply in the animals
that produce meat has been due in the
main to the almost total abolition of
the old and extensive cattle ranges of
the country by the forward march of
men with their hoes. lone of the
most potent factors entering into the
cost of meat production in the United
States" he writes, lis the tremendous
rise IN ld1u values dll over tile WSSts
g The natural superstition
would be that land which had been
used for raising cattle, allowing thirty
acres to the animal, could, under in
tensive farming operations, produce
more beef per acre than that. This is
true, but it takes time to make the
changes
A table is presented by Mr.. Barnes
which shows very clearly, as he says,
why meats are dear here, and why
they are due to logical and almost I'M
avoidable reasons. The statistics in
it are taken from the reports of the
federal department of agriculture, ex-
cepting cattle for 1880 which is an
estimate. This table follows:
