Packer Disputes U. S.
Meat Price Table.

Here's the packers view OF the
Government estimate Of the cost Of
living in Atlanta:
L do not believe the cost of meats
is any higher in Atlanta than in any
other city in the United States of the
same size" says F. O. Miller. manager
Of the Atlanta branch Of Swift & Co.
Il am free to say, too, that until I
am convinced otherwise, l Will cher
ish the suspicion that the Government
figures as quoted In the table of prices
published Wednesday are wrong in
many instances.
"One thing is correct believe
Boston does pay more for beef than
any other city in the United States.
That is, the average BoStonian PAYS
more for his sirloin than the average
Chicagoan. The answer is that Bos-
ton now uses, and always has used,
the best grades Of beef obtainable
Boston uses export beef. the fanciest
stuff killed The pork and beans
metropolis has a reputation among
packers as being the most 'Choosey'
market for beef In the world
How these Government figures
were compiled is a mystery to me.
You won't catch a man who is an
expert on meats saying that sirloin is
so many cents a pound. He might
say sides from Fort Worth of GER
tain weight and a certain grade were
worth so much. on the other hand,
beef from Kansas City or from Chi
cago will cost more, and there are
many grades from each center.
"Atlanta's freight. Of course, gov
erns prices here. There may have
been a time when an average rate
was struck in a sort of haphazard
way and all points were charged on
that basis. Nowadays we compute
the freight on every piece OF beef and
add II to the actual cost of the meat.
So small a difference as 5 cents a
hundred in a freight rate is COM
puted.
you may rest assured, though. that
the difference is due mostly to the
grade Of beef
zone grocer buys a pork loin which
W y
he sells TO a trade which demands
that the account be carried on the
books for month, perhaps three
months. Another grocer buys a lOin
which cuts into big, heavy chops.
He sells for cash money His meat
costs him less His expenses are less.
His risk is almost nothing. He can
sell cheaper, of course.
Then comes the Government inves-
tigator. In the report, all pork chops
look alike You can't tell thing by
such figures
Il see Boston is supposed to quote
butter, retail, at 80 cents, and New
York at 81 cents, while Atlanta quotes
40 cents.
THAT can't be right. We sell
world Of fancy table butter. All but
ter prices are computed on the basis
Of the Elgin or New York board. The
freight must be added. Butter is sold
on the narrowest of profits. A 10-Cent
discrepancy between Atlanta, say, and
New York or Boston is impossible
always supposing the stuff to be of
the same grade Perhaps like beef
and pork chops, all butter looks alike

MOORE SCORES FREIGHT
RATES; CHARGES FAIL To
EXPLAIN HIGH FOOD COST

-Atautass freight rates are too high
all along the line" says Harry T.
Moore, head OF the Atlanta Freight
Bureau. ~and before the Interstate
Commerce Commission now is a case
IN which we hope for q favorable de-
cision, which will cut practically all
freight rates into the city.
THE rate on -four from Ohio River
points, for instance, is As cents a bar
rel With this kind Of rate. flour
ought to be cheaper in Chicago than
here"
Some Facts Not Explained.
Af1anta's freight rates, however. do
not explain some Of the differences in
tho price Of various commodities
mentioned in the Government Stats
tics which tend to prove Atlanta one
of the most expensive cities for the
housekeeper in the United states.
The Atlanta Freight Bureau, for
instance. quotes tho rate on fresh
beef as SO cents per 100 pounds from
Chicago to Atlanta, This is a comb
nation Of a 17-cent rate to Cincin-
pati, the river crossing, and 46 cents
from the Ohio River TO Atlanta.
Range in Butter Peculiar.
Yet the Governments figures show
The average price OF sirloin IS a half
cent higher In Cincinnati than in At
lanta, and the average price Of round
steak IS % cents In Cincinnati against
20 cents in Atlanta, Atlanta paying,
be It remembered, something more
than half cent a pound freight in
excess Of Cincinnati.
More peculiar is the range OF price
en- butter. The Government quotes
butter as selling at 40 cents in Gin
cinnati and 40 cents in Atlanta. The
freight rate on butter from Chicago
and the EIgin district to Atlanta is
s1.S2 per hundredweight. To Cincin-
natl 1t is "a cents. Atlanta, then, is
paying almost a cent more in freight
on every pound of butter, and selling
II 2 cents cheaper than Cincinnati
Getting Less for Meats.
Atlanta. according to the Govern
ment figures, Is selling ham cheaper
than Chicago, whence most Of that
meat comes. Yet Atlanta pays q As
cent rate on cured meats from Chi
cago. Cincinnati, with a 12-cent rate
is supposed to be charging 7 ID cents
more per pound
Examination Of the freight rates
actually seems 10 show that Atlanta
is getting less for its meats than cit
les with cheaper freights, which only
increases the puzzle

N 'AO00 BEGINS
ENFORCEMENT
ON TARIFF
Income Tax to Be Most Difficult
Feature to Provide for by
the Treasurer.
Associated Press.

Washington, Oct.C 4.-With the
Democratic tariff law consummated,
activity today was transferred from
the halls OF congress to the treasury
department. where Secretary McAdoo
began the development OF the plan
for its enforcement.
The treasury officials declare that
1t will be the lowest tariff law in the
history OF tho country. with the pos
sible exception of the Walker tariff
OF 1S46 and its amendatory tariff OF
1857. With the president and its
congressional trainers, they declared
that it was a competitive tariff, and
they freely expressed their convic-
tion that business will be invigorated
through its operation. They are
equally confident that it will furnish
sufficient revenue for the govern
ment.
1t is roughly estimated that $780,
OOo,0OO worth OF merchandise, now
held in bonded warehouses, will be
made under the new law.
Compared with the Payne-Aldrich
law it will mean a loss Of $40 900, 900
to the government.
General regulations will be issued

istrative feature
President Wilson went to the golf
links early today. according to his
custom. When he returned to the
White House at abount noon he
found many kilograms congratulate
ing him on signing the tariff bill.
With these congratulations came. in
good many cases. the sentiment:
Now for currency legislation"
At the White House there was a
feeling of confidence that the cur
rency bill. passed by the house. will
be passed by the senate and signed
before many weeks.
Secretary Bryan today endorsed
the new tariff law as the best since
the Civil war and predicted the early
passage of currency legislation. In
the course of his statement he said:
The president and the Democrats
of the house and senate have been
in full sympathy and have worked
unitedly in the accomplishment of
this important work. They share
the honors together, and the honors
are sufficient to give distinction to

Committee of Seventy.
The following stockholders, repre-
