The Meat Famine

Meat is so steadily rising in price and the
supply is so steadily diminishing, meat famine
seems q possibility A metropolitan paper re-
Gently spoke of the shortage as a national
crisis" and expressed itself as fearing the
gravest consequences if some way out is not
found. The number of cattle marketed in 1914
will fall almost ten per cent below the 1910 totals
This means that prices will continue to mount
until meat becomes luxury.
The blame for this condition is not to be laid
on the meat packers, unfair as they may be in
some ways, but upon the general state of affairs
in this country. The mere increase of popula-
ton means a certain increase in prices as long as
the supply doesn't increase proportionately.
With more mouths to feed and less meat to feed
them with, demand is heightened and prices
boosted. That the supply has not kept pace with
the demand is clearly revealed by Federal sta
tistics.
Once the west was full of free grazing
ground, of great cattle ranches and sheep ranges.
These rapidly disappearing. Free grazing
land is almost gone. The big ranches are being
cut up into farms. The sheep ranges mount in
value steadily
This has two very decided effects on the meat
supply. First: Not so much stock is raised mere
ly because there is less room. Second: the ingre-
dent of rent in the cost of raising COW has
gone up two or three hundred per cent and neces-
sarily shows in the retail price. When sheep
were raised on free land, there was no ground
rent to be charged against them. When sheep
are raised on land renting at $500 an acre per
year, that amount must be covered by the retail
price. The rising value of land is another result
of the increase in population and is inevitable.
These conditions make inevitable a "meat
famine" But suppose we have a meat famine ?
What harm will it do? The popular notion that

Codification of Ordinances

The citys legal department is now at work
codifying the numerous and sundry pieces of
legislation passed by city council in time past
This is the first time any attempt at such an I'M
dertaking has been made since 1867 when A. C..
Lindemuth was city attorney and the city,
police department consisted of one marshal.
During these forty-seven years, dozens of
ordinances have lain asleep on the books solemn
ly declaring that such and such is now the law
and affixing fines and other penalties for the
violation thereof. These "sleepers" in many
cases have been rendered null and void by state
enactments and in others have been superseded
by more recent ordinances. Meanwhile city at
torneys, prosecutors, mayors, boards of works
and councils have come and gone, blissfully ignor
ant of the very existence Of many of them.
Technically as much part of the city's legal
code as the most recent councinnanic enactments,
actually they have been as dead as the proverbial
door-nail. The persistence of these expired laws
on our statute books is one of the certain causes
of that lack of reverence for the majesty of the
law which our orators lament. The sooner this
dry rot is cut out of the communitys legal struc-
ture, the better for all concerned.
But why stop with obsolete ordinances
There are many of recent years which can be
consolidated, simpified and condensed. There
is no earthly need for city to groan under the
burden of a thousand-and-one ordinances.
It is this multiplicity of ordinances which
helps to create the demand for commission gov
eminent. With legislative body Of twelve
members having immediate supervision of
city affairs, the inevitable tendency is to multi
ply ordinances. With commission of five men,
bers actually supervising the citys business, the
tendency is all the other way. The simpler the
machinery, the better for the commission, and
for the city.

WESTC0TT FACTORY
Announces CHANGE
Motor Car Company Gets
New Manager and Issues
1915 Model.

The Westcott Motor Car Company
has just made public announcements
of several changes in the management
which have recently taken place.
It has been known for sometime that
H. L. Ashley, on account Of poor health
was DESTROYS of giving up the burdens
of the management just as soon as the
right kind of arrangements could be
made for his successor. It Is felt that
in the new manager. Mr.. G. Root of
Springfield, Mr.. Westcott and the
directors of the company have found
a man who can be depended upon to
maintain the high standard set by his
predecessors and to keep the Westcott
car right to the fore where 1t has al.
ways stood. Mr.. Root comes to the
company as general manager. G. F.
McCurdy who has up to this time held
the position of sales manager, be
comes assistant general manager in
the new organization. The position of
sales manager Is filled by H. p. Nam
men, formerly district sales manager
for the Cole Motor Car company for
the central states.
Simultaneous with the announce.
ment of the personnel Of the new
Westcott organization comes the an.
nouncement Of the Series B" of 1915
models of the Westcott car at the new
price of $3.50. The new price Is made
possible by unexpected increases in
distribution facilities and the increas-
ed production that is necessary to
meet the enlarged demand, with re.
duced costs of material and improved
methods in the Westcott factory. The
manufacturing cost Of the car has been
reduced to the minimum with no sac.
rifice of quality In the finished car.
1t is stated that If there is any differ.
ence whatever between the cars issued
earlier in the year and the Series B.
models, that difference is in favor OF
the new car on account of several
small improvements which have been
added to 1t.
The Series B" Models of 1915 cars
contain three models. Roadster, Speed
ster and Touring car.

meat is necessity is groundless. At this mo-
ment, only small percentage of the worlds pop
ulation have it oftener than once week and mil
lions of the healthiest of men never see it from
one years end to another. The medical world
seems to be moving steadily toward the convic-
ton that we are all eating too much flesh and
that meat once day is plenty. Indeed, many Of
the very greatest scientists are becoming con-
verts to vegetarianism. Just before his death,
the great savant Virchow exclaimed to fellow
scientist while discussing the meat question:
THE future belongs to the vegetarians!' Even
if the prices of beef and pork rise beyond the
reach of the average man, he won't suffer much.
He will probably be better off than before.

her own free will when they come

Germany continues to recognize the

Germany, in other words, can fight
