MARGINS WERE
NOT IMPORTANT
Wide Differences in Selling
Price Shown at Same
Test Cost.

Chicago. Jan. 29.-Divergent views
Of the use of the system of figuring
margins was brought out today in the
packers trial by the fifth days examin-
alton of Steiner G.. Langher, margin
clerk in the G. II. Hammond and
Company's plant of the National
Packing company at Chicago.
The government attorneys read a
mass of figures into the record of the
case in an effort to show that the
margin system used by the packers
played an important part in the bust
ness transactions Of the alleged COM
bination.
Counsel for the defense interpreted
The figures in support of their con
nection with the selling price.
John Barton Payne, counsel for Ed
ward Tilden. president of the Nation
al Packing company. read voluminous
entries from the sales books
Of the company for 1907, 1908. 1909
and 1910 in proof Of the assertion that
the action of the packers is in not
crediting the dressed beef accout
with the value of the hides for a
year and a half figuring the test cost
of fresh meat in that period.
1t was brought out hat there was
a wide difference in the selling price
of dressed beef bearing the same test
cost and sold in the same city on the
same day.
It was shown that in November
1909 a car containing $4,000 pounds
OF dressed beef was shipped to Bos-
ton and sold at three different con-
signees on the same day at prices
varying from 81 cents a hundred
pounds between the highest and
lowest figure.
Another instance was cited where
a a of beef was shipped to New
York with Il test cost of s12.42 a
hundred pounds and sold by two diff
ferent dealers the same day at prices
ranging from $l1.4S to Sligo a hum
dred pounds.
Attorney Payne read en-
tries from the company's books to
packers suspended the credit on
hides in estimating the test cost of
fresh meat sold in Boston for ap-
proximately the same figure as when
the credit for the ~by-product is al
lowed.
In September. October. November
and December 1907, the price in that
market ranged from $7.07 a humid
red pounds to s1o.o6 a hundred
POoAhNS. III IN oIISSpOIlull1S UGTIOQ
in 1908 the prices ranged from s7.0e
to s9.l7 and in 1903 the price ranged
from S7.02 to $3.50.
Government Counsel Sheean
brought out that in November 1907
margins were above tho test estimat-
ed cost while In February 1908 they
were all minus.
The government also showed Lang
her daily average margins on all
shipments to eastern territory tele-
graphed to he main Offices Of the
National Packing company. Chicago.

lone highwayman robbed him Of a
gold watch and wallet containing a
large amount of money, C. o. Ness,
teller of the Hennepin County Savinga
bank, suddenly turned on the holdup

not only his own valuables but the
highwayman's revolver as we'll.
The robber first took change from
his victims trousers pocket then un-
buttoned his vest and took out the
wallet and watch. He was about to
run when Ness suddenly grasped him
by the wrist and dealt him a blow on

with the robber who was a larger

several sound punches watched him

car of self-contained power and to this
you attribute its license to its extreme
weight over its carrying capacity.
However. a motor truck weighing two
tons has q carrying capacity of not
less than five tons, or two or two and
one-half times its w weight; and Il
motor cycle. which is probably the
swiftest burden-carrying vehicle in the
world with a self%-contained power,
weighs from 200 to ESQ. pounds and
has a carrying capacity of two pas
sengers or 400 pounds. or twice its
own weight, and, strange to say, you
have never heard of a motor cycle
breaking down because of an extreme
load.
The lightest five-passenger motor
car known to the world today weighs
at least twice as much as the load it
will carry, while the greater majority
times h amount of their carrying ca
pacity. Did it ever occur to the mo-
torist as being extremely ridiculous to
see an insignificant man weighing
from 1875 to 200 pounds being trans
ported down he street of any city or
over the public highways of the coun-
try in a monstrous locomotive-l like
construction called a motor car with
a weight of from 1900 to 5000 pounds
or from ten to thirty times the weight
of its load?
Again. there is something serious
ly wrong with the designers at some
point Of this proposition. There is a
tremendous waste of many millions. of
dollars every veal in the United States
for. the transportation of unnecessary
weight and also in the evtra material
and workmanship used in the building
of heavy motor cars.
IF one-half the of energy
and genius had beer expended in re-
ducing the weight of q motor car al
has. been spent In reducing the weight
of flying machines there would have
been a wonderful revolution in motor
car construction of this age. A motor
car Is a means of transportation or
conveyance of the earth's inhabitants
from one point to another. regardless
of the efforts of the various manufac-
turers to initiate locomotives, which
are not means Of transportation or
conveyance, but a power for the
handling of a multiplicity of convey
ances Of transportation.
When this weight problem is SOL
we'd. then also will the tire problem be
solved. The money that is required
to pay for 5000 miles tire service will
then pay for 10000 miles. Also other
expenses will then have Il correspond
ing trimming. including the first cost"
