Decrease in Meat Supply.


A clear and lucid explanation of
the falling off in cattle raising and
the consequent increase IN the cost
of living was given the other day by
President F. W. Fleming of the
Trans Missippi Commercial Con =
gress, in his address before that
body at Fort Worth. He quoted
statistics showing the steady shrink
age in public range lands, all located
ia the West and now limited to less
than 800, 100000 acres. From the
encroachments of the "Gry" farmers
and the work of the fedora rec!ama
tIon service in redeeming the semi
arid lands of sagebrush and cactus,
this shrinkage in the public domain,
hitherto open to the owners of range
cattle, is bound to continue and
threatens eventually to deprive the
live stock men of all pasturage on
government lands.
This is plainly evidenced by the
steady falling off in meat exports
during the last FIVE years. Certain
giades of be f can be produced
m re cheaply on the plains of
Argentina than in this country, and
the cost of transportation of re-
frigerated beef or cattle on the hoof
from Argentina to the ports of
Great Britain-our best customer
is approximately tue same as from
the United States. Consequently
there has not only been a decrease
in cur food exports, but the in
creased demand of our home market
IS growing more rapidly than the
production of meats and other farm
food stuffs. Nevertheless, there
still remains pasturage on govern
nent range lands of larger territory
than the combined areas of France
and the German empire. There are
more than 10000, 900 head Of
cattle and 40, 900, 900 mead of sheep
ra glng on the semi arid lands Of
the West. The practical question
how To conserve and use this
great pasture to secure the best
results for the cattlemen and also
for the nation at atlarge. The problem
deserves the earnest consideration
ofthe Trans Mississippi Commercial
Congress as well as of the national
lawmakers.
The experience of the last five
years has shown concluslvely that
the cattle raisers who depend on
government pasturage are being
driven .to the wall by the small
"dry" farmers and the homesteaGers
t lands reclaimed by the federal
reclamation service. The day can
l"t be far distant, at the present
tAte of shrinkage, when the cattle
and sheep raisers will be deprlvtd d
# this source of food supply for
beir herds unless some equitable
arrangement is made by the govern
ment whereby they will be protected
from further encroachments of this
charater. The only alternative is
he utter loss of production of range
LED cattle and sheep, which will
reduce this nation from being an
-xporter of meats to the condition
If an importer of this essential
factor in its food supply.-Kansas

o Fortify the Canal.

There are lntlmatlDnS frC III
Washington that England is some
what opposed to The erection of de
fenses by the United States at the
Panama Canal This is sur
plising position for. that country to
take. AS ex Senator Foraker, in a
letter to the president, points out,
there is nothing IN the treaty be
tween the United States and Great
Britain in 1901 dealing with an
isthmian waterway to forbid US
from fortifyiug any canal there
which we would decide to build,
and Foraker had q hand in the
sbaoing Of thai ireaty.
Mr.. Taft as urged an appropria-
ton for the erection of defenses
along the Panama Canal. In bill
now before Congress an appropria-
tion for that purpose is provided.
Ii ought to pass. Probably it will
pass. Although the president is
Just as much devoted to the
economy programme now as he was
last year, he favors an expenditure
of money which would aid in
placing the canal completely in our
power in war time. Some of the
other proposals now before Con-
gress for spending money by the
government can wait, but this one
is urgent. The people, by large
majority. are probably In favor OF
it. Mr.. Tawney and a few Other
me bers of the House, Republicans
and Democrats, oppose the pro
position, and few prominen
newspapers here and there art
against it. There is no goot
reason to suppose, however, tina
any considerable portion of th'
thinking people of the country arr
hostile to it.
From present indications tn,

beginning of 1918. 1t will cost u
several hundreds OF millions o
dollars for construction. Man
more millions will be spent upon l

For a Tariff Commission,

The couEtry will be glad to see
that there is a virtual unanimity
ameng Republicans in favor of a
tariff commission. The Tariff Board
which was established in the special
session, of the present Congress does
not meet the need entirely. 1t is a
temporary device, and neither the
president nor anybody else felt
assured of anything like permanence
for it. As set forth in the Payne
act of 1909, the president Is
"authorized TO employ such persons
as may be required" to "secure
inflammation to assist" him in the
discharge of his duties in enforcing
that statute. In obedience to that
clause he appointed Henry Crosby
Emery, James Burton Reynolds and
Alyah H. Sanders as members OF
the board.
But the Republican party In
general as we'll as the president sees
that the Tariff Board does not meet
the demand for full and precise
information regarding the labor cost
of production and the general con
ditions at home and abroad, and a
LARGER body of investigators, with
greater mowers, is asked. IN his
message to Congress in Decemoer'
1910, the president voiced this
necessity. The National iar'''
Commission Association, which
comprises some of the leading ousl'
ness men of all parts of the country
Republicans and Democrats, have
inst met in convention in Washington
to bring the matter INTO puol'c
notice Representative Longworth
of Ohio has introduced a Dill In
Conpress which cJmbines the essen
tial features of several measures
heretofore urged in one brancn OF
other. but which did not secure
ADEQUATE attention.
IN an address at the dinner OF the
National Tariff Commission Assocla-
ton the president mentioned the
necessity of getting permanent
non-partjzan board OF experts to
make careful investigation INTO
labor conditions here and in the
leading manufacturing countries OF
Europe. While he does not believe
that the data thus obtained would
be mathematically exact, he does
think that the work of the commls-
sion would be such that Congress
would have body of Information
ON which, in future revislons OF the
tariff, it could act promptly anu
intelligently, and with the minimum
amount of disturbance TO trade
AS he has said, he believes that the
bill Just introduced in the House
would come near meeting '"is
demand, and he urges its enactment
The Republican leaders in each
branch of Congress are aroused 10

end of the session, as the Democrats
are against the idea, and in the next
Congress it would get very il't'e

There will be number OF that

1t fell to our lot to be placed Oh

suppose the reason I am on that
committee is that my reputation
for hard work, about Chanute has
preceded me here. We have re-
formers of all kinds and degrees in
the house. The Democratic side
seems to have the greatest number
per capita of financial reformers,
those who never lose an opportunity
to proclaim their absolute devotion
TO the most rigid economy, yet in
the preliminary skirmish on the
contested election from Leaven
worth comfy they voted to a man
to let their brother Democrat
contest the election of the Republi-
can member who was elected by "a
majority by official returns, with
out giving any bonds. This means
that he can go to work and pile up
as much cost as he likes in the way
of witness fees, mileage, recount OF
ballots, etc., and the state will have
10 pay the bills. The only hope, as
we are informed, that the Democrats
have is to have the old soldier vote
at the Soldiers Home thrown out
Has it come 10 this pass that
negro porter on rnilroad train can
vote any place in the state while an
old soldier who risked his life for hi,
country and may be at the h )me
because of disabilities received in
the army, must be dsfranchised.
On this fimsy pretext the Democratic
side, assisted by few Repub leans,
allow this man to onter this contest
and consume lot of valuable time
and squander a lot of the states
money. Democratic reform seems
to be active only when it affects IA
Republican.
AS rule a spirit of fairness
seems to pervade the minds of the
legislators. Economy is thetalk on
every hand, yet there seems to me
to be an Unnecessary pumber of EN-
ployees loahng around.

are employees and who are not as
