CHEAPER MEAT FROM TEXAS
Ranchers Forming Organization to
Sell Beef in New York Indepen-
dent Of All Large Dealers.

Talk Of getting meat supplies at
first hand has been a feature Of every
general discussion of the cost Of beef
ever since the packers alleged trust
was first investigated years ago. 1t
has been said many times that there
should be some way to get beef d.
rectly from the ranches to the re-
tail dealers in the large cities and
thus cut out the middlemen, says
Buffalo Express. The packers have
contended that their ability to utilize
every part of a steer helped to keep
down the prices Of meat
An organization is now being formed
among hte Texas ranchers to'.provi6e
f6f the sale of beef in New York in.
dependently Of all large Dealers. The
cattle will be slaughtered in Texas
and the beef shipped from Galveston
directly to retail dealers in New York
1t is said that small Galveston com
pany, which has a new way Of packing
and canning, has had considerable
success In this trade in the metropolis
1t would seem that it might be pos
sible for cattle-owners to make more
money through a business of this
kind than by sending their cattle to
the Chicago market. for instance. and
at the same time, sell the meat tc
retailers at prices which would make
it possible for them to. cut under the

Collins has begun Investigations for
the state revenue agent here. Some
of the local saloon men will have to
pay back licenses and penalties due
the state. All of the saloons have
been operating under a minimum Ii;
cense of $500, while the state liquor
law provides for a graduated license
based on the volume of business. It
have to pay the maximum of $500.
and that even the smallest will have
a little. matter of sS00 raise. These
licenses are collectible for period OF
three years back, to which a penalty
of 2 per cent a month is to be added
The state revenue agent has a right
to go to the firms books when he
has, any doubt about the statement o.
the volume of business. The license
law is plain, and il looks like the, sa-
loon men will have. to stand and de-
