Cattlemen are Not Benefited by
High Priced Meat.

The Government returns show that,
although there has been a marked in
crease in the price of farm stuff gen
orally. this has not been true of cattle,
especially the unfed cattle of the
ranges, says inis H. Weed in an article
in "Succes SIS Magazine. The con-
sumers cannot lay the high price of
meat to the cOWman. It's the dealer s
and the railroad between US and the
coWman who bring up the price.
Some years, even when beef had been
very high lin the retail market, the
cattleman, after he has subtracted the
carrying cost from the sale price OF
his animals, has been receiving sale
price below par. Although this rate
robbery was enormously unjust, and
although the capital represented in the
live stock industry is equal to seventy
three per cent of the par value of the
stocks and bonds issued by our rail
ways, the transportation corporations
were so gigantic, and the individual
cattleman so small by comparison,
even though he might be a cattle king
that he couldn't help himself. Every
GEAR he had to hold his hand to the
bee.
The Association, however, finally
got in it's sting. After a fve-years'
fight they helped get the Interstate
Commerce A ct so amended in 1903 that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has the power to prescribe rates. This
resulted in a reduction of from SIS to
81 per car on cattle rates. and has saw
ed the cattlemen millions of dollars.
Even then the Santa Fe Railroad, and
probably other roads operating in the
sa ne territory, were able to make, as
shown in the Texas Cattle .Raisers
case, modest 95.3 per cent profit.
Rates, however. are not the cow
mans only trials of transportation.
Perhaps he speaks for cars three
months ahead, and drives his 1000 or
5000 cattle to the freight yards at
the time agreed upon only to find an
empty track. At once begins the eX
pense of buying fodder fer the herd,
and the sitting around watching them
eat up the profits. When the cars fl
nally arrive, if the number is short,
the animals have to be crowded IN
with almost certain risk of more loss.
Then perhaps the cars crawl over the
country at the rate of twelve miles an
hour, and this .inediciency costs the
cowman still more, in fodder, and in
the shrinkage and deaths of the i'm
prisoned creatures suffering from
crowding, from long standing and from
thirst.
