Will Argentine Cattle Lower the
Price of Beef?

AS cattle are now raised in Argen-
tina the increase must be gradual.
The time necessary to open pasture
lands and produce cattle ready for
market is so long that no sudden
change in prices is possible by in
creased production. The cattle rails
ers of South America do not believe
it would be advisable to make strenu-
Gus efforts to increase their output
by resorting to the ranges or invest
ing large amounts in opening new
pasturage. There is not an unlimited
supply of wild cattle on the pampas
of Argentina, nor in the hills of Uru-
quay, nor on the plains of Brazil, as
some of our people have imagined.
In some way the pictures in the old
biographies, showing millions of wild
cattle on the pampas of Argentina,
have fingered in the minds of our
people, and the idea gained foothold
that if we let down the tariff bars
these cattle would come stampeding
across the borders, or that refrigerat-
ed beef would flood our markets.
Many years ago the wild cattle of
Argentina were there. Owners of
vast tracts of land had millions of
head of cattle roaming the pampas.
But that was at a time when cattle
were killed for their hides and tallow.
Refrigeration had not made it posi-
BILE to ship beef, and when refrigera-
tion came it was found that the beef
was not marketable. Then came the
great change: from wild, wiry cattle
to thoroughbreds; from pampas grass
to alfalfa; from vast plains of un-
decided ownership to fenced pastures.
And with the change came the inev-
table law of nature that production
is most profitable when it scarcely
meet sthe demand. That the stock
raisers of Argentina will attempt to
increase their output largely is not
likely unless they foresee largely
increased demand. And even with
such effort as they may make to in
crease their product it will be i'm
possible to make the increase appre-
ciably felt in the meat-consuming re-
gions of the world through a reduc-
tion OF prices.-From Beef From
South America and Australia" by
Arthur Wallace Dunn. in the Ameri-
can Review Of Reviews for January.

Paid Petition Circnlators.

Editor Tidings: 1t has been quite
generally agreed that under the sys-
TEN OF paid circulation of initiative
and referendum petitions two evils
exist: the submission of many meas
ureS for which there is no popular
demand. and the forging of sigma
lures. To remove these evils, shall
propose an initiative measure prohib-
iIing payment for circulation of Pc
titions but placing no restriction upon
the right of the people to circulate
petitions for any measure in which
they feel an interest.
One of the fundamental purposes
of the Oregon system is to increase
the power of men and decrease the
power of money. l am surprised,
therefore, TO find that there are
some sincere advocates of better gov
eminent who oppose the plan of pro-
hibiting paid circulation of petitions
Most of these who oppose my bill ac
knowledge that it is right in princi
pie but say it will not work satistac-
torily in practice. l contend that II
it is right in principle 1t will ulti-
mately be adopted and will work in
practice.
An initiative petition is supposed
to represent the desire of per cent
of the voters. 1t does no such thing.
1t represents merely the expenditure
OF certain amount of money.
Possibly circulation of petitions
serves to notify about 10 per cent of
the voters that the measure is being
proposed, but, if that is tie end to
be gained. it certainly could be done
more effectively by expending the
money in the printing AMI circulation
of copies of the bill which voters
could read, rather than in securing
of voters to a petition
which few take the time to read.
The adoption of my suggested bill
would make the petition represent
public opinion. for the number of
volunteer circulators woulG be in pro-
portion to the extent of public desl, e
for the measure.
] admit that so long as the custom
OF paying circulators continues, prac-
tically every measure must he Initial
ed in that manner, but l am conf
dent the time will come when the
duties of citizenship in procuring and
protecting desired laws under the liz
itiative and referendum will be per-
formed without special compensation.
The hiring of paid circulators fo-
measures or candidates is no less un-
representative than the hiring Of
workers or vehicles on election day,
which have both been prohibited by
the corrupt practices act.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
A Happy New Year.

We wish all our readers in general.
and those especially who enjoy this
department of our paper, in partieu-
lar, happy new year. Many pre-
cious memories as well as many sad
things will be forever linked with
the old year to which we now say
goodbye. In love we bid adieu to
1913 and welcome 1914 with good
resolves that each coming day will
see our lives better. purer and more
noble in every act and purpose.
The work of the Home Circle de-
partment for 1913 is finished, how
ever poorly it has been done. We
hope from this department has been
dropped some word of cheer that has
helped to inspire you with better
thoughts.
In parting with the old year we
want to thank our readers for the
very liberal patronage bestowed and
the encouraging words received for
the Tidings. We promise you that
during 1914 the paper win take no
step backward, and that this depart
ment in particular will come to your
fireside each issue filled with words
of encouragement and good cheer.
Many have told us that this depart
ment alone was worth the subscrip-
tion price of the paper Our en-
couragement has been sufficient to
stimulate us to greater efforts and
we promise our readers that, like
wine. We have improved with age and
the Home Circle column during 1914
will be more helpful and cheering
than it has been in the past and we
hope will find a welcome to many
new firesides. II you have a friend
or acquaintance who is not a sub
scriber, speak a good word for the
Tidings.
In conclusion, may you, during the
new year, know more of sunshine
than of clouds and may we all, from
the child with the golden curls to the
man with the silvered locks, alike
cry, Glory to God in the highest,
and peace on earth, good will toward
men,"

Johnny Was Not Gallant.

The topic at a recent banquet
turned to the rising generation when
Governor John NJ. Haines recalled
how little Johnny rather ungallantly
classified the gentler sex of the In
dian tribes.
The incident happened in school
one afternoon when the lesson was on
the American Indian and the teacher
asked If any little boy or girl could
tell her what the leaders of the vari-
GUS tribes were called.
"They were called Chiefs" prompt
ly announced bright little girl in
response to the question.
Correct" said the teacher, smil-
ing approvingly. Now, then, can
any one OF you tell me what the wom-
en- of the Indian tribes are called?'

HOW MANY TIMES WILL MEME
LIK DIE?

Menelik, the negus OF Abyssinia, IL
dead again. but we don't enthuse. He
has got to do something else for us.
We cant be entertained by a man
who passes in his checks whenever
the cable news is dull We need va
riety.
We feel that king who habitual-
ly wears a towel around his head (as
all the photographs we ever saw of
henelik show him) ought to stay
dead when he Is. We are everlast-
ingly tired OF this thing OF cashing
in every year or so. He may be a
negus, but he can't fake-us
IL he Is so struck on the dying
game, why doesn't he buy an automo-
bile? We know several auto owners
who don't require any yearly an
nouncement that they are dead.
Another suggestion: Inasmuch as
a man can't stay dead in Abyssinia
Mr.. Menelik might HE himself to the
hall OF congress in Mexico City and
there and then call Mr.. Huerta a few
choice names. Wen guarantee that
he'll shuttle off to stay dead.

Wall street had the time of its
life while New Haven railway stock
was being batted around. Fortunes
were made on change. Now it is
quite different In New England
there are more than 10000 stock
holders in that railroad, who have
lost fortunes. The stock is below 20
cents on the dollar, a fall of almost
two dollars on the share. But the
Wall street gamblers had their fun
and profit, what does it matter about
10000 stockholders in New England,

THE SOP THAT WOULD COME TOO
LATE.

Credit Seth Low with a new ilea.
Seth evidently believes in private mo-
nopoly. Is badly scared lest Uncle
Sam should take over the railroads
and run 'em for the plain folks in
stead of for the privileged. Hence he
wants to throw out a sop for delay.
This is the sop:
Reduce passenger fares, he tells
the present railway magnates, and
then the folks will most likely give
their consent to a hoist in the rates
on freight.
Seth finds that in other lands,
where the railroads are publicly
owned, passenger rates average lower
than here and freight rates higher.
Passengers vote, but freight does
not" So take out of one pocket in
order to fatten the other is his recipe
for keeping private monopoly perched
on the peoples backs.
His notions undoubtedly clever,
but We guess 1t comes too late. The
New Haven and the Frisco expert
ences have made the country skittish
OF the entire Wall street system.
Besides. why not have lower pas
senger and lower freight rates too?
Both can be when the roads are run
for all.

LITTLE, But Oh, MY!

Not only why a baby?" but why
such a baby as has just brought Joy
into the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Cravening Of Beloit, Wis.
This little mite is one of the tiniest
mites that ever came into our curious
world-a baby girl, perfectly formed,
sound in wind and limb, yet weighing
at birth only two pounds. A tot you
could easily carry in your pocket or
encircle with napkin ring. Not as
big as the average doll, but neverthe-
less the abode Of human soul and
liable, the doctors say, to become,
with good luck, as fine and sturdy
and handsome a woman as if started
in the race Of life with five times
her initial avoirdupois.
Surely. this baby business is mys-
tery. But don't make any mistake
about one thing-little Miss Craver-
ing is welcome. Pa can hardly tend
to business, he's so tickled; while
ma, weak as she is and pain-weary,
smiles the loveliest smile that ever
a human face was wreathed in, as
daughter gives its plaintive signal,
and cuddles it to her bosom with
divine.
They say Jacques Loeb has found
a way to generate birth by chemicals.
Let him have the offspring of science;
give US the progeny of love.
