THE MEAT SHORTAGE

Addressing an audience composed
Of stock raisers from practically
every state In the Union, at the Ma.
tional Dairy Show Convention held
recently. in Chicago, ILL.,, Secretary
Houston, Of the United Sta,es De-
partment Of Agriculture. declared
the short meat supply tosbe~ one Of
the most serious problems confront.
ing American agriculture. Mr..
Houston approved the plan Of cattle
raising on large ranches and de-
clared that no effort would be
spared by the Federal government
in further increasing production
from this source, but insisted that
the proper solution of this problem
depended on an increased. interest
in live stock raising by farmers and
in a more systematic control and
eradication Of hog cholera, cattle
tick and tuberculosis.
Figures were quoted from gov
ernment reports, showing that the
production of meat in the United
States dtfingd the. past fourteen
years had fallen off 3,000,00Q, 900
pounds and that the population of
the nation during this time had in,

WAR TAXES AND THE WEST

Disregarding - the watered and
sweetened output of Ohio. California
produces the only real wine in Amer
lea. This is not narrow, sectional
prejudice; it is an officially deter
mined fact. California winemakers,
mostly benefited by the cessation of
imports from Germany and by dis.
turbance Of the French wine trade,
can have no serious objection to the
imposition of tax on their product.
Wine is distinctly luxury and its
consumers can afford the burden.
Nevertheless the fact remains
that an important industry of the
Golden State will be called upon to
contribute about six per cent of the
total amount to be raised by the
war tax. .
Indirectly another Pacific Coast
industry will be vitally affected by
the wsr,tax which rightfully places
a very heavy levy on beer. The
bulk of American hops. an important
ingredient Of beer, is produced In
Oregon, Washington and California.
To reduce expenses the brewers will
do as they did in the Spanish war:
substitute cheap rice for expensive
hops.
Early in August Pacific Coast hops
brought 16 to 18 cents pound:
October z they were quoted at IL
cents pound. with further declines

Fortunately Congress decided
against tax on automobiles and
thus prevented further dispropor.
