MEAT CASE A PUZZLE.

Price Is a naeasure Of value as fixed
in the course of free competition. 1t
is determined by commo estimation.
This country has yet to learn the
highly important lesson that In the
field of general production the govern
rnent cannot fix prices" a y The
Minneapolis Tribune.
ut has yet to learn. also, and prom
Uses to learn much earlier, another les
son. That is that high prices are not
Iall powerful to encourage production.
Present prices for livestock Of all
kinds are abnormally high. Yet the
American Meat Packers association
reports that the farmers not only are
not increasing their production of
meat food animals, but that such pro-
duction is decreasing at an appalling
rate.
THE explanation of this strange
situation is not altogether clear. But
certain of the forces which have pro-
duced it + plain. We are paying the
penalty Of over Capitalization Of in
dustry-this is the first teaching.
SoLISAoSA ZIG pO64LloA OL SUCK TdlS-
ers. in Illinois. for example. If ever
growers had their choice of markets.
these have. They can consign their
steers, sheep and hogs to st. Louis,
Indianapolis or Chicago. Yet they have
begun to lose ground in the number
shipped to any and all Of these mar
Ikets.
"They resent even the charge for
that comparatively short freight haul,
IL seems, and their practical defense
lessness against the fixing of prices
and grading Of products when their
stock reaches the market. It is the
confident opinion of men of affairs in
that section OF the country that If it
were possible for the W to do
business at home, face to face with
the packers, the yield Of stock would
be materially Increased.
Another force at work in this situ-
, alton Is that stock raising is thought
to involve considerably more risk than
crop growing. Experts In the DEPART
ment Of agriculture find this a partio-
ularly battling objection and that their
statistics to the contrary have often
times no great weight with the average
farmer.
THE packers association warns us
that IL the progressive decrease in
meat production in the United States
Is not stopped. the procurement of q
meat supply for this country will be a
~dreadfully serious problem. They pro-
pose that every small farmer should
raise at least two beef steers a year
and they would encourage the SETTLE
ment by farmers of the old ranges as
rapidly as possible.
THE first thought upon these rec
concentrations is that II the farmer is
mot attracted by the prospect of the
highest prices in his experience, he
will not be moved by patriotic desire
to avert q meat famine. But examin-
alton will indicate that the solution of
this problem may we'll enough come
through precisely such a general
movement, though the movement
lprornises to have it's origin rather in
the need OF the farmer to protect him
self as a consumer against a constant
tly advancing meat cost than in his
desire to protect his neighbors of tho
cities"

Where Aldrich Missed Il.

The chances are that, if Senator
Aldrich had never interfered with the
Payne tariff bill, we should have had
out of the Taft administration both a
currency bill and a tariff bill satisfac-
tory to the country. Moreover, the
republican party would still be In
power.
Consider the facts for a moment.
The Payne bill, as it left the house,
was fairly satisfactory. 1t reduced the
mountainous tariff in spots. It would
nave been accepted as an earnest OF
good intentions OF the part Of the re-
publicans. But in the senate Mr.. Aid
rich proceeded to revise the downward
revision upward again. The country
o fire, and all the woes of the re-
publican party flowed from that act of
Aldrich, and the presidents forced in
dorsement of the law.
How did 1t affect the currency bill
1t made the name of Aldrich so unpop-
ular that congress did not dare pass q
bill with his name attached to it. True
PRESIDENT Taft advocated the none
tary commission or Aldrich bill In a
message, but he, too, had lost the ear
OF the country through the tariff
fiasco.
wv" TIC ucIlOCTdLS nave framed a
currency bill on the Aldrich model
Chairman Glass, of the banking and
currency committee, recently stated
that there Is practically nothing OF
original value or of direct aid" in the
publications of the monetary commits
sion. Doubtless Chairman Glass was
forced to make this statement in or
del to quiet the Aldrich ghost, which
promised to rise again. It was a bluff,
as everybody who has read up on the
question knows. -
Nearly everything of original value
IN the Glass bill is borrowed directly
from h Aldrich bill. Whole sections
or 1t are taken from the Aldrich bill
without change of phraseology. In.
deed, 1t is doubtful whether Mr.. Glass
could have drawn a bill at all, had he
not a the Aldrich model before him
He has done his best work where he
copied 1t word for word.
All of which leads us back to the
tirst statement that. If Aldrich had let
the house tariff bill alone, he would
have had enough strength in the coun-

New Lease of Life for Turkey.

New Lease of Life for Turkey.
Minneapolis Tribune: ut had been
an axiom of diplomacy for many q
year past that IL war ever broke out
in the Balkans itiwould be impossible
to prevent one or more of the great
powers from being dragged into the
conflict" This was the keynote Of
Sir Edward Grey's recent speech in
the house Of commons, and he was
naturally jubilant over the success Of
European diplomacy in localizing the
struggle and keeping the great powers
out Of it.
The danger is perhaps not entirely
over yet, but 1t is so much minimiZed
that the gloomy expectations of a year
Or two ago are no longer INDUCED in
n of the great national capitals.
The outcome shows the increasing dis
position of great nations to avoid war.
1t is partly because their risks are
greater in the more highly organized
life and industry of the modern ma
ton, partly because the means Of
inter-communication are so much
more rapid and facile, and partly be-
cause there now exists a higher sense
OF international morality.
Sir edward Grey also made it clear
that not only Turkey, but all the Bal
kan nations, violated the treaty drawn
up in London before the outbreak of
the war between the allies, hence that
the great powers could hardly be ex-
pected to insist upon a strict observ-
ance OF the lines fixed by that treaty.
This may be taken as a hint that
Turkey will be allowed to keep Adria-
nople, which she has retaken, and that
Bulgaria may suffer a serious diminu-
ton of the new territory Of which she
was. assured before she forfeited it by
the folly of her attack upon Servia
and Greece.
This leaves Turkey a chance to re-
main a formidable power, since tho
announced policy of England Is to
secure the integrity of the Turkish
dom1nions in Asia and in the territory
left her in Europe. so as to give Con-
stanttnople a good strategical frontier.
Thus it will be seen that the inability
of the Balkans allies to maintain their
offensive and defensive alliance has
given the Turkish empire a new lease
OF life. If the government can main
tain internal order a strong Turkey
may develop which may be employed
by the great powers as an important
factor in preserving the peace Of east
ern EurODe.

government owned Freight Cars.

EFEu SSSGb tffiG5tL EtiGO EIGtSuI SCES .s
j. Garrett Hill, a practical railroad
man, makes the unique suggestion In
The September Everybody's that the
government buy up the freight cars Of
the country N superintend their dis
tribution among the railroads. The
plan, he maintains, would benefit the
shipper, the railroads, the government
and the public. It would at once put
an n to car shortages and give ship
pers needed equipment promptly.
There would be no discrimination as
between shippers, and neither present
methods of operation nor freight
rates now established would be dis
turbed. Another striking advantage
would be the liberation of vast guam
titles of railroad capital now tied UP
in rolling stock. This the railroads
could use for much needed terminal
facilities, motive power and other I'M
provements.
Mr.. Hill estimates that the govern
ment could buy the $500. 900 freight
cars in the country at an average
price of $500 apiece. He would have
storage yards established at convent
ent points, He would have the gov
eminent furnish these cars on demand
to shippers and railroads, the latter to
pay so cents a day for their use and
an additional charge Of 1 CEN per
mile hauled. The per diem charge
would insure prompt return of the
cars when not in use.
AS for the financial side of such an
enterprise, MI. Hill finds that the ini-
tial expense would be $4,000, 600, 900,
the annual expense, including interest
and upkeep, $780, 600, 900. On the 9TH
er side of the ledger, the annual gross
earnings would be more than $780,
000,~ 00o--surely a handsome margin of
profit.
Mr.. Hill does not bother to figure
out how the government is to raise
the 5000, 000,0 900 of capital needed for
the enterprise, but bond issues would
Doubtless be his ready answer. and
the huge profit on which he counts
would rapidly retire these.
