increase In price during the later ten
years is many times that of the rise
during the former decade, and this
economic condition pertains in all 9TH
or classes. of beef and. indeed, in most
other meats. For our purposes here
1t may be regarded as typical.
The question that / expect TO try
to answer In my investigation into
the meat angle Of the whole subject OF
what is making the high cost of lfv
ing so high!" is this: q, A,'s:.s :.s
Is it necessary that We pay as much
for aybeefsteak as we do now or can
q beefsteak be produced more cheaply
and, II SO, how? In other words, is
the meat Of America being produced
and distributed for US at minimum
cost, of are these processes largely
hit-or-miss, with big profits for "some-
body" regardless of the rights and in
terests of everybody else?
Many investigators" of this sub.
ject have finished their jobs of inquiry
by pointing a long,, but very vague.
finger OF scorn at the packers-the
Swifts, Armours, Morises and Cuda-
hys-who are, doubtless, very rich
and doubtless, constantly growing
richer; but they have not furnished
facts enough to convince ohicialdoM
of their charges" for the packers
continue doing more and ever more
business in their chosen fields, and
no one stops the price of steak on its
hegira to join the morning skylark!
II we are going to find out the truth
about this subject, we have got GER
tainly to trace the entire process of
meat marketing from beginning to
end-from the calf to the plate.
This means we have to learn just
what part the breeder" of meat-ani-
mails plays in this shrouded game and
how he plays 1t and il he can play 1t
any more honestly or any more effi-
ciently: and we have got to do the
same with the feeder" Of these ami
mails; we have got to do the same
with the commission men who sell
them to the packers; we have got to
the same with the packers them
selves; and the same finally with the
retail butchers who weigh your pre-
cious steak for you as you bargain for
it over the yellow counter.
Then, perhaps, we shall know some
thing of the truth about this matter,
or we will at least know whether
there are grave instances where we
cannot find out anything definite at all
and where, therefore, Uncle Sam him
self had better step in, and do his
duty by us and find out for us.
1t may be, indeed, that eventually
we will find out by our survey that
what certain critics of this whole bus
mess say, is true: namely that the en-
tire process is wrong as it is conduct
ed today that, as one noted produc-
er of cattle publicly says:
Fundamentally Wrong.
''The entire American scheme for
the marketing of live stock is funda-
mentally wrong, and this great ma
chine that has been erected must
come down piece by piece until it Is
found where the faulty construction
and weakness commence, and then
II must be rebuilt sOundly."

charge of abducting the 15-year-old

at McClusky. That was last March

the plot to run taxis to farm near

offense before Judge Nuessle this af

over to the district court, and the
third one in the deal was given a fine
which he paid.
