packing interests of the nation be-
gan centering in Chicago hands.
From that time to this beef produc
ton has been mostly gamble. The
packers have raised and depressed
prices arbitrarily They would raise
prices to lure the feeders to buy large
numbers of cattle to be fed. But
when the feeder went to market he
got squeezed. Only once in while
have the beef producers and feedt rs
made any money, and then just
enough to keep them in hope. On a
10-year average the cattle business
itself has been losing deal for ranch
men. Tie rising prices of land ex
plain their increasing prosperity.
"Infated and emboldened by sue
cess the packers became more selfish
and rt-sighted each season, until
their exactions in 1901 forced
hundreds of cattle growers out Of the
business and actually changed this
nation from an export to an import
ing one.
"With not enough beef to go round
we naturally have had high market
the present season; but what induce
ment is there for the cattle producer
to go back into the business? He
knows that the prices are made
arbitrarily. He knows that when
the next opportunity presents itself
he may again be made a victim of
INSCRIPTIONS manipulators.
''That is why the producers have
deserted the industry in large num-
bers and why there is little likeli-
hood of the cattle supply increasing

s5By Charles w. Holman in Farm q
Ranch.
I'm 20 years the cost of growing
beef has risen 800 per centt'
Hon. Ed G. Lasater, of Falfurias,
Texas, was the speaker. Mr.. Lasater
is former president of the Texas
Cattle Raisers' Association, recent
progressive candidate for governor of
Texas and the caller of the High Cost
of Living conference, held in FIT.
Worth, September 18th and 18th, 1911.
For 30 years he has been an active
ranchman, operating for 10 years in
South TIE xas, where he owns $50, GOO
acres of grass land. He has always
kept books upon his cattle operations.
He knows what it costs him to grow
beef cattle today; he has the data OF
the cost of yesterday.
Mr.. Lasater's remarks were oc-
casioned by an article appearing in
one of the magazines, purporting
that the beef growers are getting rich
from the present high retail cost of
meat products.
'Instead of making money" iterat-
ed the ranchman, "the beef grower
has been squeezed-did you get it?-
squeezed! In the last 20 years the
cost of labor has practically doubled !;
the capital invested has more than
trebeled. Feedstuffs cost a third
more and even grass-grown beef
must be fed through the winter.
Interest rates are trife higher.
"Making money? Let's look into
the matter. The cheapest beef in
America today is the beef that comes
from the grass range. The states
furnishing this beef are Texas,
Oklahoma, Colorado, Montana and
the Dakotas. OF the range states
my immediate section can put cattle
on the market at the least cost. [
am positive that can produced beef
cents per hundred pounds cheaper
than can the farmers of the corn
belt. Now, the very cheapest that l
can grow four-year- old beef is S73.

following detailed statement of pro-
ducing costs, taken from his books:

alton of Danger Spot.
Trade School Favored.

A vigorous protest against the grant
ing of franchise for a street car line
along NJ street northwest was made by
members Of the Midcity Citizens AS
scciation. who attended 4 meeting last
night in the office of Charles :. Shreve
at 1909 Seventh street northwest The
resolution of protest to be sent the Com
missioners will assert that the wishes
of the residents along the street have
not been considered; that the street is
not wide enough for cars; that the
sewer under the street would have to
be torn up and that the tracks would
have to go around Thomas Circle, and
thereby make very dangerous traffic
center.
The association ndorscd the move
ment to open the schools for the teach
ing of trades. While no resolution WAS
passed. IL was the consensus Of opinion
or numerous speakers that the recorder
of deeds OF the District should be "A local
Man. under. the Jurisdiction of the Com
missioners, and not appointed by the
President.
The association accepted the sneakers
to be furnished by the Tax Reform As
