Senator Smoot today introduced an
amendment for so submarines Of
sea-going type and Is smaller ones.
For the first year it would appropriate
$50, 900, 900.
1.-THE European war has demon
strated beyond any question: said
Senator Smoot, "that submarines are
Invaluable for coast defense. That is
the sort of defense we want more than
anything else.''
In the house, Representative Gard
uer declared that at the present rate
it wonid be Is years before coast de-.
tense guns had sufficient ammunition
for and hours engagement, and that
the coast fortifcstic rs could be taken
from the rear.
Mr.. Gardner quoted from report
made in 1906 by the national coast
defense board, saying hostile feet,
should it gain control Of the sea, could
establish a base at the entrance Of
Chesapeake bay, without coming
uuder the fire of a single gun, and
pass in and out at pleasure. -
That report was made nine years
ago, but not one spadeful of earth has
yet been turned in ful6llment Of any
fortification project for the defense of
Chesapeake bay" said Mr.. Gardner.

CLAIM CONSPIRACY OF PACKERS
Opportunity for the Government to DO
Some Real Honest Investigating.

That the Idaho price of good fat
hogs will be down to $500 and pos
sibly 1915 within the next thirty days
is the prediction of Harry Fike, of
the hog-buying firm of Fike & Thorn
as, who buy more southern Idaho hogs
than any other firm. The price this
week is $4.75 says the Gooding Leader,
"The hog market has not reached
the bottom yet" said Mr.. Fike "She
Chicago price may be put down to
$500 or SETS, which means $375 or
$500 here. This is not due to any
over production. There never has
been an over production. of hogs. It is
not due to any falling off in the de-
mand for packing house products. The
export trade never was better, or SO
good. There has been no proportion
ate reduction in the price of meat
products. The law of supply and de-
mand has absolutely nothing to do
with the price of hogs"
Along the same line is the opinion
of a prominent hog grower of this
section who recently visited the east
ern markets, and gained some infor-
nation concerning present conditions.
Based upon this information and his
observation, he is convinced that the
present low price of hogs is due chief
ly If not entirely to cold-blooded
conspiracy between the big packing
houses.
There is no price competition of
any consequence between the buyers
for the different packers" he said.
"They all receive identically the same
instructions as to prices each day. and
it is no secret that these instructions
come from a common source. Every
thing indicates that the packers start
ed in to make a big lot of money on
this years market, and they are going
to make it. OF course they will make
it off the farmers Who is going to
stop them?
"The government officials who are
so crazy to investigate everything I'M
der the sun would find something here
really worth investigating. If they
ever look into the stock buying meth
DDS of the packers they will uncover
a rotten mess. The government once
investigated the selling methods of the
packers but their buying methods
never have been investigated. This
would be an investigation worth
while"
