WANT SWEEPING REFORMS IN THE
 BEEF INDUSTRY
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

lRepuDItCdn "A. F. Leased WlFeI WASHINGTON, April "A former Kansas governor, w. K. Stubbs, and former Missouri judge, w. H. Wallace,
 who said they had learned by raising cattle themselves that meat packers, by price fixing combinations, were
 crushing livestock, growers, pleaded
 with a house judiciary subcommittee
 today to aid in inaugurating sweeping
 reforms in the packing industry. They
 appeared as counsel for western grow
 CTS and feeders.
 Speaking on the Borland resolution
 now before the sub committee which
 would order a federal trade commits sion inquiry to determine whether the packers are violating the antitrust laws, they indorsed the proposal strong ly and suggested making laws prohibit ing the restraint of trade in foodstuffs generally more stringent. Jail sen tences instead of fines were particu- larly urged.
 Fines are jokes," MT. Stubbs de- clared. They are not effective. The producers and the consumers pay the penalty. Anyone who juggles with the prices of food when millions are strug- gling for bread should be imprisoned and not fined"
 Mir. Wallace, who prosecuted the James train robbers, heatedly de-
 noHnced the alleged packing combina- ton.
 We are after worse crowd now | than these James boys" he declared. These fellows steal more money in a week than the James boys did in their whole careers"
 By affidavit and testimony as to his personal experiences, the judge sought to prove that combinations had existed | among packers in the Kansas City yards within the last few years. He

LAUR|ER LOSES DEMANDF0R AN
 INVESTIGATION
IRepubIican A. P. Leased wire1

OTTAWA, April 1.-The demand of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, opposition leader, for investigation by parliamentary committee of all purchases and con- tracts of the Canadian shell commit tee was voted down in the house of commons tonight. The governments majority was reduced to 3S, four of it's forces and a number absenting them selves from the division.
 The vote was to have been taken a week ago, but when the government announced there would be no investi- gation except of charges made by G. w. kyte, involving the Canadian shell committee, Minister of Militia. Sir Sam Hughes, Colonel J. Wesley Allison, E. B. Caldwell, B. F. Yoakum and E. w. Bassck, it surprised the governments supporters.
 The division was deferred as the government appointed two judges to investigate the charges made by MT. kyte and any other phase of the shell committees business that the govern ment might want to investigate.
 The minority tonight expressed ob- Jections of liberal members and four striking conservative members to lim ting the investigation to a small DOT tion of the business let by the shell committee.
 Finance Minister White outlined the position of the government in a short

submitted an affidavit from Leo Burns, former stock yard emplOye, declar- ing that Kansas City and Chicago packing houses were in constant com munication regarding proposed pur- chases from spectators. A message signed by Earl Cooper declared that before the packers came into possession of the Kansas City yards he used to visit the yards at night and supply them with information as to the num- Der of livestock on hand prior to the opening of the market
 On one occasion, the judge asserted. cattle at the Kansas City yards and learned later that they were divided between two packing concerns.
 Arthur Meeker, vice president of Ar mour X Co.,, promptly questioned the accuracy of the judges statement re- garding one buyer for two houses. Walter L. Fisher, attorney for the American National Livestock Associ ation, injected the declaration that he would be able to prove that such a practice was not uncommon. MT. Fisher produced sales slip from the Kansas City yards which, he declared, showed that one buyer had purchased S6 cattle from a raiser and that Morris & Co. and the Cudahy Packing com pany had divided them equally.
 The session was enlivened by eX- changes between MT. Fisher and MT. Meeker over the proposal of the pack CTS to submit their books to the depart ment of agriculture to prove that they are not making an unfair profit, and the counter proposal of the producers that a tribunal with subpoena power make the examination. Once during the day MT. Meeker declared that he was will ing to have an inquisitOrial body with

speech. While he spoke for the gov ernment. he did not attempt to defend the part the shell committee or the Canadian minister of militia took in letting fuse contracts to the American Ammunition company CT the Mterna- tional Arms X Fuse company, the members of which are stated to have divided $1.O0O, 900 profits before obtain ing contracts for $22,0O0,00O worth of fuses.
 Sir Sam Hughes, who is on the way hack from England will have to look after his own defense before the royal commission which has been named to report on the business given by the shell committee to the American Am munition company, the International Arms & Fuse company, the Providence Chemical company and the Edwards Valve company.
 Another charge against the shell committee was made in the debate to- day by E. S. Mcdonald, liberal mem- Der. He stated that when Sir Alex ander Bertram and Colonel Carnegie the heads Of the shell committee, went to the United States to place an order for fuses. responsible manufacturer offered to provide fuses for cost plus ) per cent. He asserted that Colonel Allison. the friend and representative of General Hughes. proposed that there should be added a profit of 75 cents a fuse, and that the sum thus obtained should be divided into four parts-one for the contractor. one for Allison and the two other parts for parties to be named. The American manufacturer refused to agree, MT. Mcdonald said, and did not get the business, which went to the American Ammunition company and the International Arms X Fuse company.
 Sir William Meredith and Judge Duff of the supreme court will open their investigation soon after the return of General Hughes to Canada.

FAILED TO FOOL THE PEOPLE.

Washington, Jan. 25-(Special Cor

eral board of the navy was made pub

The other, prepared much earlier, con-

Dewey and his associates-and jose

The difference between the two re.
ports is that the. earliest-in date
outlined a program of naval construc-
ton which the patriotic naval experts
in the board deemed necessary for the
proper protection of the country. The
other report contains a building pro-
gram limited by the amount of mon
ey which Josephus Daniels is willing
to spend. Admiral Dewey wants to
protect the United States. Josephus
Daniels wants to protect the democrat

wave. The colonel is militarist by
nature and by virtue of political ex.

with yearning for row.
But the colonel is mistaken in his
judgment of the American people when
he assumes that war in Europe must
infect America with lust for blood.
On the contrary, 1t is only proving to
us the folly of war and the blessing of

ten taken by this administration and
it was only when lie perceived that a
congressional inquiry would bring out
the facts that he reluctantly produced
the document and enabled the public
to see the difference between a real
and spurious program for naval pre-

Admiral Dewey's plan is patriotic.
Josephus Daniels plan is political. Ad-
miral Dewey's plan would produce a
navy within reasonable time. Jo-
sephus Daniels plan would produce a

The episode is regarded here as
helpful. 1t shows that the admins

people for much of the time. Maybe
it is only the beginning of series OF
revelations. Maybe there are other
documents withheld by other cabinet
officers which will now be forced into

DANGERS IN ECONOMY.

Economy. has become an almost
sacred word in the fast-living, fast
spending age, but even so, it is pos
sible to overdo it. There is danger in
economy, but that danger arises moi
in it's use, but in its abuse.
The democratic administration Of the
postal department as respects the rur.
al free delivery service is a case in
point. The department has applied
economy without intelligence. They
have ruined the effectiveness of the
rural mail service. during several
months in the Year at least, by a ruth.
less elimination of half the carriers
and a consequent increase in length
of routes. If the department had sent
an inspector into Greene county for
one days investigation before these
changes were ordered, the man must
| have reported that the proposed plan
| of economy was impractical and i'm
possible. But the plunge into econ
Omy was ordered blindly by men who
knew nothing about the actual con;
lditions. That is not the use, but the
abuse, of economy.
We trust that nothing herein may
be construed as indicating that the
democratic administration is, gencr-
ally speaking, exerting itself in the
direction Of economy. It is in fact a
very extravagant administration. It's
one notable venture into the path Of
economy is the instance stated above.

that il was well chosen. But there

ton the value, as well as the effect,

Iowa Insurance Rates.

The newspapers which continue to
contend and agitate that the insurance
rates have been raised in Iowa are due
for serious fall, for it is unfolding a
mistaken idea. The recent revision
permitted in fire insurance rates by
the enactment of new law brings
about readjustment, which, from the
standpoint of the state as whole,
means reduction and saving in this
respect for property holder. The
rates which show an increase repre-
sent very small proportion in COM
parison with the rates which have been
decreased; rates of an extra hazard
Gus character have been increased,
business property rates in some in
stances are higher, but rates on prop
crty representing nominal risk have
been decreased. 1t is too early yet to
have the state figures on the proper
ton of increase and decrease of fire
insurance rates under the new law, but
insurance men are Of the opinion that
the rates have been decreased in ~
to 30 per cent of the instances. This
expression on the subject of fire In
surance rates aud the new Iowa law
is not prompted asia defense OF the
insurance companies, however, or even
q contention that the new law is a
perfect statute of its kind, but simply
to call attention to the fact that some
prejudiced information is being circu-
lated on this topic. 1t is admitted by
those who have given the matter COM
prehensive consideration that the prop
erty holders who In the past enjoyed
cut rates in buying their insurance
are not at all unbiased witnesses. The
new law does not permit the practice
of rate cutting in aggressive competi-
ton. 1t is not hard, we believe, for
the average person to understand that
the practice of rate cutting by insur-
ance companies is as pernicious pol
icy from the standpoint of the people
as whole as is rebating by the rail
roads.-Mt. Vernon Hawkeye.
