BEFORE ACTING
Council Desires Better In
formation on Slaughter
House Question.

The report of the ways and means
committee and the city attorney on
the matter of bonding for the con-
struction of a municipal slaughter
house was received favorably by the

action on the proposition until July
sidered. In the meanwhile a COM
nittee consisting of City Engineer H.
G.. Lykken and Alderman O.. T. Files
tad will make a trip to several places
where municipal slaughter houses are
in operation. There is a very excel
lent one at Fergus Falls that will be
| visited.

committee was the opening wedge for
an extended discussion Of the subject.
II discussion was entered into by
not only members Of the council, but
by evera citizens as we'll.
Plan Too Pretentious.
The discussion was opened by AL
derman James Dinnie who said that
he sthought the proposed structure
was too pretentious for the present
different than the present system OF
handling meat necessary.
Alderman Orr Sanders stated thai
he thought that the construction of i
municipal slaughter house would tend
to the raising of more and better
stock by the farmers near the city.
Moreover it would provide a sanitary
way of handling the meat in the
hands of the butchers in the city, and
most important of all tend to lower
the price Of meat to the
there being less expense attached to
the handling of it by the local BUT
cheers.
Squires Asked Time.
Alderman Squires spoke along the
same lines but urged that the matter
be laid owe for some time so that
the people of the city would be given
an opportunity to acquaint them
selves with the proposition as sub
mitted by the committee. Others who
spoke in favor of the construction of
the slaughter house We're Mayor NJ.

Davies, DR.. A. A. Westeen and Mr..
Walker, a local butcher.

An active part in the discussion
was taken by the ladies. Mrs. R. A.
Sprague, city food inspector, present
ed some very able arguments in favor
of the proposition, saying the time
has come when such a building is
made necessary by the prevailing con-
ditions. Mrs. F. L. Goodman and
Mrs. Scott Rex spoke along the same
lines.

Clarence Fl. Mackey, the president of tin,
Mackay companies, being interviewed III
the separation by the Attorney General
of the American Telephone and Telegraph
company, and the Western Union Tele-
graph company said:
1T has been a bitterly fought contest.
The result is a gratifying solution of tho
whole trouble. We hope and believe it
will work out so that no further cause FOR
complaint may exist either on the part
of the public or on our part. Anybody
with any perspective at all could have
seen during the past few years that there
would be an end to a hugo combination
whose chief purpose was to throttle CON-
petition in order to control and monopo-
lie We feel grateful to the administra-
tion and particularly to Attorney General
McReynolds, for the result The depal l.
ment of justice took the matter up u
its own initiative and without any At
tempt to shift or evade responsibility tht
Attorney General has brought about this
complete solution"

The flag which was hoisted at Fort
Wadsworth. n. Y, on Washington's
Birthday when President Taft broke
ground for the Rodman Wanamaker
Memorial to the Red Man was hoisted
again there December 13. Between
the two dates the flag was carried
twenty-six thousand miles. 1t was
hoisted on 189 Indian reservations. 1t
was kissed by very many Indian lips
and will find a resting place among the
Indian treasures in the museum which
will form part of the memorial.
The ceremony marked the completion
of a journey begun In June. On the
suggestion of Rodman Wanamaker, DR..
Joseph Kossuth Dixen undertook to call
at every Indian reservation In the coun-
try. He took with him the flag which
was raised on Washington's Birthday
and a message of hope and inspiration.
Touched by the declaration signed at
the ceremony in February by thirty-two
chiefs who took part, Mr.. Wanamaker
decided that every tribe should be told
of the memorial to be erected and
should take their part In ceremonies in
cident to its dedication.

observed the actions of this man, John
Rapier, going through the pockets of Mr.
Caldwell who did not apepar TO be COR
scious of what was going on. 1t was
no trouble to seize Rapier who, however
made an awful fuss when arrested. We

POLITICAL MIRACLE,
DECLARES LAUGHLIN

Chicago, December 20.-The currency
bill is the political miracle of the age,
because not 10 of the men in Congress
who voted for the bill understood its
fundamental principles"
This is the opinion of j. Laurence
Larghlin. professor of political economy
at the University of Chicago. expressed
today in an address to members of the
City club. The wonder of it. the profess
sor said, is that they Incorporated the
correct economic principle without realiz-
ing it,
when you look back year and see
the situation with regard to the report
of the monetary commission. it makes
you believe the day of political miracles
has not passed., he said
The present banking laws have been
on the statute books since the civil war,
and sound currency legislation has been
almost impossible to get. Since that time
the fundamental Idea of the currency
problem has been that II depended upon
the quantity of money in circulation
81 am willing to sake my reputation
that the bill will be for good, or good for
nothing. not because of the regulation of
note issues and the quantity of money in
circulation, but because of the organiza-
tion of credit provided for. 1t seems to
me miracle that this thing should have
been Incorporated in this bill.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-21
NO ONE TALKED
ABOUT FEATURE

NO one has talked about this feature
of the bill and yet it is 10 times as i'm
portant as the regulation of note issues
and the amount of money in circua-
ton 1t is a source of marvel to me that
2S6 men in the House voted for this bill
when there were not 10 men in the
House who understood its fundamental
principles
The fault in the panic of 1907 Law in
the incomplete organization of credit,
Professor Laughlin said
With the organization of credit pro-
vided for, there is no reason now why
business man, in an emergency, and with
good, sound busipess behind him, should
ever have to go into bankruptcy, he said.
One joker, which the speaker said was
monetary sabotage" he laid to New
York bankers influence 1t is the clause
which permits banks to count federal re-
serve notes as part of a basis for making
loans. He said initiation might result be-
cause banks then have no incentive to
redeem the notes in their possession.
The conferees adjourned Just before
midnight until tomorrow morning 1t
was announced that about 20 material
points of difference had been found after
the entire bill had been read and studied
No attempt was made tonight TO take
these up, but many changes in phraseolo-
gy of Senate amendments were agreed
upon.

Declaring that President Hirsig had
no right to trade Clayton Perry to Mo-
bile for Pitcher Heinie Berger with
out first consulting Manager Schwartz,
the board of directors has become in
censed at the action of the Vol pres
ident and are on the point of an open
break with him. This is another case
of a president taking too much au-
thority. A notable example is Garry
Hermann. president of the Cincinnati
Reds, who took unto himself the duty
of trading Joe Tinker to the Dodgers
without first asking the advice of the
powers behind the throne.
Bill Schwartz is also sore over the
deal and has openly shown his dis
pleasure by issuing a red-hot statement
in which he states emphatically that
President Hirsig made the deal over
his head and without any consultation
with him at all. The directors have
taken the matter up and are deter
mined to put some check on the Vol
president. Several have stated that
Hirsig has carried things to point
where they have got to stop and that
measures will be taken so that in the
future he may not take such liberties
with club affairs without first con-
sulting Schwartz or the directors.

Court Decides Similar Case

San Francisco. December 20.-Twenty-
four hours after word came from Wash
ington of the voluntary agreement of the
American Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany to make connections with independ-
ent companies, the California supreme
court handed down a decision stating
that an order of the state railroad COM
mission compelling the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company to make such
connections was violation of the con-
stitutions of the United States. inasmuch
as 1t was confiscatory.
The railroad commission had direct ed
the Pacific company to mGke long dis
tance connections with two independent
concerns operating in Butte and Tehama
counties. The company took an appeal,
and after a long delay, won. although
the action taken by the parent concern
practically nullides the chief effect of
