ALLEN advocated government CON-
troll of cattle prices TO protect both the

If elected governor Of Iowa, Joseph
H. Allen would have no more influence
on national legislation than If de-
feated in his efforts TO secure the
nomination.
His declaration Is either the cheap

belief that the people OF Iowa lack

Joseph H. Allen is in favor of govern
ment ownership Of stock yards and
packing houses.
Only by government ownership
would the government be able TO
establish the business on the basis Of
monopoly. declaring that it would
pay so much and no more for cattle,
hogs and sheep and charge so much
and no more for beef, pork and NUT

Allen lays the losses Of both feeder

much for meat Mr.. Allen advises him
not to blame the producer. and he adj
vises the producer not to blame the
consumer because he receives too low
price for his stock at the shipping
point or in the slaughter pens
In short, Nj. Allen is trying to en-
