Meat Profits
[Boston Post. I

There is considerable food for
thought. if nothing else, in the recent
statement by the committee appointed
by the Secretary of Agriculture to con-
slider the economies of the meat sit
uation.
This body of investigators finds that
retailers gross profits in sales range
from to S3 per cent. on meats pre-
pared at the great centralized markets
of the country and from 8 to 3S per
cent. on sale of farm prepared meats.
The farmers share of the gross returns
from centralized market meats ranged
from "a to SO per cent, while from 2
TO per cent. went to pay market eX-
penses and 2 to per cent. was re-
ceived by the packers. On locally pre-
pared meats from SO to "a per cent of
the gross returns was received by the
farmer.
On the face of it the original pro-
ducer of the meat, whether as animals
or as the dressed article. would seem
to be getting a fair part of the bar
gain, while the packers do not appear
to be overpaid. The retailers gross
profits look large at first sight.

PRICE OF TURKEYS

WYE are told that the price of
wv turkeys is going to be higher
this winter than ever before.
We are ready to believe II.
Food prices of all kinds are away
above normal. on account of the war,
We are told. Doubtless this is one of
the reasons. If it had not been for
the war we would now be suffering
hard times of a character not pleasant
TO contemplate and foodstuffs would
be low in price because few families
would have the money with which to
indulge their appetites. OF course,
foreign shipments have had a big
effect on the market, but supply and
demand have not had nearly so much
to do with the present frightfully high
cost of provisions as has the tendency
of the American to buy anything he
wants at any price, so long as he has
the money.
If we decided to eat no Thanksgiving
turkey at abnormal prices II is safe to
predict that turkey prices at Christ
mas would be back at least to the high
water mark of last year. We are be-
ing charged by everybody who has
anything to sell the highest possible
figure because the dealers and pro-
ducers believe as long as money is
plenty we will live we'll at any cost.
Unfortunately. this assumption is
based on fact.

OBJECTS TO WALNUT ST.
BRIDGE AND STATE ST. SUBWAY Y
By BRIGGS

State street hill, and above all It would
not interfere with the view of the
Capitol grounds, and as I understand
there will be quite an improvement in
beautifying these grounds, and as ]
see 1t, bridge would be more in keep
ing with the efforts of the Park Com
mission in beautifying that part of the
city
There is no doubt in my mind that II
will give the access to the Hill in q
much more preferable way than the
proposed Walnut street bridge. In
the matter of a subway. there is con-
siderabl trouble experienced in the
Market street subway, through flood
ing at times when access to the Hill is
most needed.
l wish to go on record as being
heartily in favor of the proposed
State street viaduct, es I sincerely be-
lieve 1t to be to the best interest of all
concerned. I simply wish to make my
views known as property holder, and
my profession, which compells me to
visit all parts of the city at any hour
may be called upon, day or night
which makes me feel qualified to make
the above suggestions.
Thanking you for any consideration
which you may give in publishing the
article, ] am,

THE "NEwJ WILSON

.ENERYBODY," observes the Phila-
T. delphia Public Ledger, wants
to know what the new Wilson
will be like
The new Wilson will be the old
Wilson: There will be no change.
Wilson has been Wilson ever since he
first attracted public attention at
Princeton and long before he entered
upon his political career: The Wilson
who cried down and condemned the
labor unions as the greatest evil in
the land was the same Wilson who
declared that the eight-heur day has
the sanction of secietyl only in the
first place he was addressing meet
ing of capitalists and appealing In
directly for their support, while In
the second he was playing for the
votes of the labor unions.
The Christian Science Monitor sees
great possibilities ahead for the Presi-
dent. 1t points out in an able and
comprehensive editorial that now he
can go forward without fear of
political effect and can act freely for
the good of the country as he sees 1t
without thought of the effect on his
chances for another term. But those
who have watched the backing and
filling of Mr.. Wilson on every ques-
ton of public Importance that has
arisen within the past four years will
not be hopeful that his weakness
will be transformed into strength by

it is to be presumed that he will be
encouraged by what appears to be
public approval to go en- as he has
been going, to continue to make and
unmake policies" with as much
rapidity as none too friendly Con-
gress will permit
However, the days of flamboyant
wisconsin are at an end. The magic
wand of unlimited power over Con-
gress has been wrested from the Presi-
dent. No moro will q wave of his
hand from the White House be suffi-
cient to bring Congress to its knees
The legislative branch on March 8,
next, will resume its proper place in
the scheme of government. The only
chance of new" Wilson lies in the
possibility that he will be quite as
subservient to the new Congress. In
an effort to win its support, as he was
intolerant of Congressional suggestion
four years ago. There is already one
indication OF change of front IN this
direction. The President, with his
eye to the possibility OF a House
dominated by Republican votes. has
begun to talk of revising the tariff
to meet emergencies" which Is to say,
upward, along protective lines such
as Republicans will insist upon II
they have anything like a working
majority in the lower branch of Con-
gress.

To the Editor of the Telegraph:

The street warrant does not possess
the width to Justify the viaduct to
relieve the congestion of the Hill and
the traffic from other parts of the city.
From my experience in using the
streets of Harrisburg. as my business
calls me continually from one part of
the city to another, / believe that the
best project, as I understand, that has
been advanced, would be viaduct on

Half of the Union is to be dry as
the result of Tuesdays election. Alaska

Maine, Mississippi. North Carolina,
North Dakota. Oklahoma. Oregon.
South Carolina, Tennessee. Virginia,
Washington and West Virginia.
TO these have now been added

There is a possibility that Utah and
Florida will soon adopt prohibition.
The last legislature in Utah passed a
dry law which the Governor vetoed.
Now Utah has elected a Governor who
Is expected to urge q dry law. In
Florida the Prohibition candidate for
Governor defeated the Democratic
nominee. Illinois may have a legis-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PROHIBITIONS GAINS
To the Editor Of the Telegraph:

10 me EdHor OF the Telegraph:
The superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of Pennsylvania wishes
to call the attention of the Christian
voters of the state to the recent state
ment of DR.. P. \. Baker, general
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League OF America. He says:
''Twenty-four states, one-half of the
states of the Union, have now by the
vote of the people or by the act of tho
legislatures outlawed the drink traffic
Most of the territory of the re-
naming states have abolished drink
through the instrument of local option.
Four f1fths of the liduor traffic is now
cornered in half-doZen of the great
cities of the country. g The
time has come to insert n plank in the
platform of all political parties favor
ing nationwide prohibition. Local op-
ton has demonstrated its value by
demonstrating that in many states 1t is
no longer valuable. Statewide pro-
hibition is only an enlarged form of
local option.
"Henceforth the political party that
is not willing to put a plank in its
platform. and the candidate. from
President down. who Is not willing to
stand squarely on that plank. is not
worthy the support of patriotic Ameri-
| Il L
dent has been elected who will enter
the White House dumb and silent upon
this the greatest and most far-reach-
| ing question now before the American
| people. But one thing can prevent 1t
from being an acute issue in the next
presidential campaign and that is for
Congress to submit the question for
ratification by the states before the
next presidential campaign.
THE dry forces won fights for pro-
hibition in Montana, South Dakota,
Nebraska and Michigan-in the latter
by $4,000.
Utah has Just elected dry legis-
lature that will enact statutory pro-
hibition as soon as it convenes. Flor
! ida has done the same. Only Wyoming
end Nevada are wet of all the great
F, West. Michigan, with an overwhe elm
ing majority. is the first of the great
central states to break away from the
traffic. Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and
Kentucky will soon follow. Hence
forth the slogan must be ON to WASH

I am in hearty accord with all that
DR.. Baker has said. Never in the his
tory of this great movement have the

hut two others. Florida and Utah, will
soon pass statutory prohibition. OF
( equally as great importance. and pos
| sibly more so. is the decided express
! sion of a large number of the other
prohibition states reaffirming their ac-
| tion in refusing to vote to enact any
other form proposed by the liquor
people to change TO any method of
restriction of the liquor traffic other
than prohibition. Pennsylvania is
ready for and will fall into line under
the new watchword and slogan. "On

COMMUNITY SERVICE

LIVERY citizen owes It to his COM
u munity to give his share of
service for the welfare of that
community" David E, Tracy. the new
president OF the Chamber of Com
merce said at the luncheon OF the
Rotary Club yesterday, where he spoke
as the guest of honor,
That is text which might be am
plificd TO columns and its possibilities
not exhausted Individual service Is
the answer TO the oft-repeated oues-
ton, How has Harrisburg accom-
plished so much In the way OF public
improvements? Had it not been for
the willingness and readiness of the
private citizen to volunteer for public
work, Harrisburg would still be stuck
In the mud, we would still be cutting
our drinking water in slices and our
ideas of parks would be summed up in
Capitol Hill and the tin can dump that
formerly marked what is now our
beautiful river front.
Individual service to the community
has been the dominant feature of every
successful public enterprise under
taken in Harrisburg in recent years.
1t made possible the whirlwind sub
scription for the new million-dollar
hotel and 1t doubled the membership
of the Chamber of Commerce in four
days. 1t carried the school loan to
success and it will have q big part in
guiding the expenditure of the money
To be spent for high school purposes
So long as 1t runs high the city's future
progress is assured.
President Tracy is entitled to preach
community service sermon. For
eight years he served without thought
of pay on the city's Board of Public
Works and his business ability and
devotion to the best interests of the
municipality had a large part in the
success of many public improvements.
He spoke to the Rotary Club not alone
from his own convictions. but from the
wealth of an experience such as few
men in Harrisburg could boast. He
has been a quiet, effective force for
good in the community and the COM
munity has found him out and has
honored him with the presidency Of its
foremost trade body at time when
that Office stands for very much in the
activities OF the city.
