INCREASE eEEF SUPPLY.

A most interesting and at the same
time perfectly feasible plan for in.
creasing the country's supply OF beef
is contained ia Swift & Co.'s Year
Book, which has just been issued from
the press. This plan consists simply
in the curtsilment of the production
and sale of veal. How such . plan
would work out is thus described:
"The United states is the greatest
veal consuming country in the world.
Its demand for veal is so great that
the number of calves slaughtered has
increased 100 per cent in the past
decade. In the United States during
1911 there were slaughtered 100000
calves. These 8,000.00 calves did
not average over 10 pounds. If they
had been allowed to live one year
they would have averaged 600 pounds
of good beef and would have given to
the country 4,Soo, ,o00, 900 pounds OF
beef instead of only $50. 00O, 900 pounds
OF meat. According to conservative
estimate, this four billion odd pounds
would furnish city of $50, 900 people
with its total meat supply for over
fifty years. This gives some idea of
the country's immediate loss of beef
supply by the slaughter OF calves"
Novel as the plan may seem, it has
been given an actual trial. South
America, iii is pointed out had been
close second to the United States
in the consumption of veal, but wax.
ing up to the danger in destroying
the bssis of future beef production,
laws were enacted prohibiting the
slaughter of female calves. heifers or
cows under six years of age. The re.
suits. it is declared, have been en-.
tirely beneficial. And singularly
enough, there is now greater abun-
lance of veal and baby beef on the
menus of South America than there
ever was, for the reason that the re-
strictive laws alluded to have now
been long enough in effect to have
stimulated the production OF two or
three times as many calves as there
were formerly.
Some such plan as the foregoing
must sooner or later be adopted in
the United States. At the rate at
which calves are now being slaughter
ed the country's herds of cattle
will soon be so sma all as to lead to a
serious curtailment OF packing house
operations, and it goes without say
Ing that that would mean higher prices
than ever for beef.

THE CALIFORNIA CRISIS.

ration. The right of state to manage
it's own affairs is recognized by Presi'
dent Wilson and his advisers, but the
proposed discrimination against the
Japanese is regarded as matter of
national consequence.
The California contention that a
law prohibiting aliens from owning
land in that state follows the spirit :of
the federal law that excludes certain
nation alities from citizenship cannot
be denied. That position was clearly
presented by Governor johnson in
this statement:
"The nation solemnly has decreed
that certain races, among whom are
the Japanese, are not eligible to citi.
zenship. The line has been drawn.
not by California but by the United
States. Discrimination, If it ever oc-
CURED, came and went when the ma
tion declared who we're and who were
not eligible to citizenship. II Califor.
mia follows the line marked out by the
federal government, the United States,
and not California, should be &C.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Although advocated by few theor
lists government ownership of power
plants does not seem to be making
much headway. The facts are tha
where the government has undertaken
such developments the work, as rule
has not progressed in q satisfactory
way. Montana affords q notable ex
ample of the government inability tc
dothose things that independentcap apita
accomplishes more rapidly and with
less cost.
Eight years ago a email syndicate
in which Butte men were interested
sought to secure control of q power
site on the Pend d'Oreille river below
the outlet OF Flathead lake. This un.
dertaking made some headway until
government agents stepped 10 and took
over the site. It was announced then
that the government would build q
power plant to be used in connection
with . vast pumping scheme for irri-
eating certain lands of the Flsthead
Indian reserv alton which were to be
thrown open to settlement.
Up to last year sl0l 1854 had been ex.
pended by the government upon its
Flathead pumping scheme. About
$4,000 of the money was spent In
driving q tunnel for the development
of electrical power. 1t has been esti-
mated that the cost of the plant, when
completed, will be about 81, SOC, 900.
Allowing Eve per cent interest on the
Investment and five per cent for op.
GRAFTON, repairs and mainten ance, the
cost of pumping would be about S8 per
acre per year for continuous service,
including loss by seepage and evapo.
ration. This cost, said . committee
of the last legislative assembly which
inquired into the matter, would be
prohibitive for the production OF or.
dinary crops.
Thus 1t 10 at the government pre-.
vented private capital from accom-.
plishiug work which it has been un.
able in eight years to do itself and
which, when done, will merely add to
the costs against the lands held by
settlers without being Of special bene.
fit to them. The syndicate referred to
bad no connection with the great con-
cern which in the last few years has
power plants on the Mis-.
souri, river. That concern, while
government agents we're expending
money uselesly over long period of
years, completed one new plant and
still greater one. The same CON-
pany is developing water power at
Thompson. That will be one of sew.
eral plants that will furnish power for
the Identification of the Chicago, Mil
waukee g. ST. Paul railroad.
The point is that government
owned projects are failures, usually i'll
advised, co.t'y aud lacking, as rule,
the quality OF filling recognized need.
On the other hand, plants built and
operated by private capital are put in
operation at lees expense, within less
time and at places where there is a
demand for the power created. Moth
ing within the experience of Montana
argues for aforementioned water
power plants. Butte Post.
