agricultural producers as well as to all
the people.
The beef trust" is assailed in dis
cussion of the free listing Of fresh
meats and meat products. ''The exist
ing duties on meats and meat prod
ucts," it is asserted, ''are for the ad-
vantage of this combination only'-a
combination that controls the market
both in buying and selling, and the re-
suit is a substantial addition to the
high cost of living from which the peo-
pie suffer-"
Removal of duties on these products,
it is argued, will place the farmers in
a free market as to foodStuffs and food
lie desire that no artificial shelter
shall be maintained to protect abnor-
mally high prices on food articles in
any form,' the bill also seeks ex-
emption from duty on wheat, -four
semolina, rye flour, buckwheat flour,
corn meal and all prepared cereal foods.
biscuits, bread and similar articles not
sweetened.
In discussing free lumber placed in
the bill, hard wood excepted, the re-
port maintains that the ownership OF
timber in this country has become
practically monopoly and has passed
for the most part into the hands OF
great corporations and interests which
are speculating on the increasing scar
city.
President Taft is again referred to,
the report quoting from his speech of
February 26, 1911, in which he said:
"By giving our own people access to
Canadian forests, we shall reduce the
consumption Of our own. which, in the
hands of a comparatively few owners,
now have a value that requires the en-
largement of our available timber re-
sources"
Sewing machines, the report AYERS,
are sold abroad by United States man
ufacturers cheaper than at home and
should not be protected. The manu-
facturers would have by the proposed
bill the additional advantage of free
lumber.
Salt, also included in the free list, the
report urges, should be free from ar
tificial enhancement in price. the do
mestic supply being dependent upon
limited number of natural deposits,
controlled by concentrated interests.
