TO REDUCE THE COST OF MEAT

A trade paper devoted to a p~artieu-
lar manufacturing interest d%eclars:
If Congress will ever reduce the
duty on cattle and meat 20 the low
level of protection now given the shoe
industry there might be something ae-
complished in the way of reducing the
high cost of living.
We wonder.
From what the country or coun-
tries is to come a supply of meat ade-
qCate to fill the normal demand of the
people of the United Statesl If the
cattle raisers IN this country are pro
dncing less and less meat food be
cause of the unsatisfactory returns on
their business, how can anybody sup
pose that they would produce more
meat food if the returns were to be
still lower9 The trade paper admits
that there has been a steady decline
in the raising of cattle for beef; but
no cattle raiser would have stopped
producing if there had been satisfac-
tory profit for him. Either it has cost
him more to produce than the product
was naturally worth in the market
where he must sell, or, regardless of
what it costs him to produce, the beef
combines have fixed for his product
an arbitrary price which has not per-
mitted him to continue in business at
a profit.
If the cattle raiser has been unable
to make enough money out of his
business to Justify his remaining in it
at present prices, under what theory
could he make more money, and would
ne produce more meat food, if prices.
owing to tariff changes or any other
causes, should go still lower?
Outside the United States the whole
world does not produce a sufficient
supply of cattle for meat to provide
for the normal demand of American
consumers if the natural American
supply itself is ex~tinguished. Owing
to freight charges and other disadvan-
tages of marketing at a long distance
from the source of supply, it is doubt
ful whether all the rest of the world
could supply at reasonable prices sufi
Gent cattle for meat to provide for
the needs of American consumers with
American supplies extinguished.
This country long was and still is
the natural cattle raising country of
the world. If in this country, where
natural conditions favor them, cattle
raisers are going out of business be-
cause of unnatural control of the dis
trlbution to consumers of what they
produce, they certainly are not going
to resume that business with their
market still artifcially controlled
against them, >.nd with still lower
prices to MAKE it impossible for them
to survive.-New York Press.
