BURNING BOTH ENDS

Commenting on a statement BY
Ivan H. Jorgens of this vicinity, yes

tally gets next to the hogging of the
hog market as follows:
President l. H. Jorgens of the
Union State bank of Nezperce, Idaho.
charges that the packers of tho Paci-
fc northwest have cornered the hog
market and depressed prices to the
point of endangering the very exist
ence of an important industry.
"Our section ships three to five
cars of hogs every Tuesday from
Nezperce, and they 60 mostly to
Seattle and Spokane, said Mr.. Jor-
gems. "Packers now are paying only
S cents pound, which we regard as
much too low, the present high prices
of grain considered. The packers
seem to think they have corner on
the market and are taking advan-
tage of it. Our hog raisers will be
forced to sell in the east if north
western prices do not improve, or
they must 60 out of business. I"
With hogs bought at S cents a
pound, the packers we're selling polk
wholesale Monday at an average of
123 cents--10 cents for shoulders,
123 for loans and IS cents for legs.
That was two and half to one,
difference out of ratio to the relative
prices that were going in this market
when hogs were bringing from 7 to
9 cents a pound. In February, 1914,
for example, when live hogs brought |
in this market 7 to s cents, the |
Wholesale prices of dressed pork |
were no higher than the prices now
when live hogs bring but 5 cents.
Whether this condition is the re-
suit of short-sighted greed, as Mr..
Jorgens thinks, or is due to other
facts which the packers may be able
o explain, the results are not pleas
Int to contemplate. For years the
'ailroads, the colleges, chambers of
commerce and the press have labor
