BEEF ON FREE LIST WILL
AFFECT LOCAL INDUSTRY

The possibility that beef will be
put on the free tariff list is causing
considerable apprehension among local
live stock men, and the opinion is gen
eral that the taking Of tariff from
beef will greatly affect the number OF
cattle fattened in the valley. At the
same time, there is a feeling on the
part of many that this would he bene-
ficlal rather than otherwise to the gen
eral welfare of the valley.
OF late there has been tendency
owing to the abnormal profit in fat
tening cattle, to buy number Of
farms and consolidate them in single
holdings, and Of course 50 far as this
goes it tends to reduce the population
There are counter influences at work
IN other Industries which more than
offset this influence, and which operate
10 add greatly TO the population. But
lhe cattle industry calls for large areas
with scant population, and there are
other lines of activity which call for
many more people and greater general
prosperity.
The cattle men have paid out large
sums of money for pasturage. and ir
this way the profit of the bushes,
has partially been widely distributed
But if other industries are led to take
the place of cattle feeding there i,
no doubt that more homes will be Gre
ated and the profit per acre be greatly
increased.
The Press has believed that it wa
only question of time when cattlt
fattening would give place to indus rie!
OF larger profit per acre, and to plac,
beef on the free list will undoubtedI,
greatly hasten the coming Of that time
