The unfair profit in foodstuffs is
exemplfed in recent figures which
were brought out in the investiga-
ton Of Swift & Co., meat packers.
Edward s. Swift, vice president of
the concern, said the reason Of their
enormous profit last year. over that
Of the preceding year, which was
s42,000,000 against 100000 900.
was due to the fact Of the prevail
ing high prices. Exactly, and who
was il that caused the high prices?
Certainly not the concumers. for
they have long been complaining:
nor was il the farmer. for Swift says
there are more cattle left on the
farms this year than in recent years.
The high price Of meat has been fore
ed up by the packers in their unjust
methods of profteering in this COM
modify.
The high price Of shoes has been
laid TO the scarcity Of leather. Yet
there are more hides being held by
the packers than ever before in the
history Of the country, for the obyi-
Gus reason-there has been more cat
tie slaughtered the past year than
in any other previous year. But the
packers held the hide until it sold
for more than did the beef from
which il was taken.
The high cost of most every other
food article can be traced to some
sort of human vulture. who is feast
ing off the hard-earned earnings of
the people.

IS, ZOO, 900 IDLE HORSES

II there were 100000 horses in
the United States at this time, un-
broken and idle, they would be made
bridlcwise in short order and put TO
work to aid production.
President Wilson has submitted a
report to Congress, signed by the
heads of the departments of Agri-
culture, War and the Interior de-
signed as the basis Of legislation to
harness 35.O0O,OO0 horsepower which
now is running down hill seward in
American str MS, and which could
be used for the aid of our prosecu-
ton Of war, at saving of coal which
can be imagined more easily, by the
average man, than estimated. The re-
lief TO overtaxed transportation ia
cilities would be great. There would
be less fuel hauling to do.
The difficulty about utilizing our
water power has been that those in
terested in The subject nave been d.
vided into two camps, the one con-
tanning alarmists who view every
plan for its utilization as a plot on
the part Of water-power sharks, and
the other containing those who are
ready or willing or selfshly interest
ed in getting the water-power to
work without any regard to the pro-
lection of the people in their posses
sion of a great natural resource.
There is at present an effort on the
part of the heads of the Government
to get the harness on the 100000
horses without handling the halter
reins TO horse thieves. If this cannot
be done, the competency of the heads
of the Government bureaus is nil. 1t
is unreasonable to assume that il
cannot be done. and wartime is the
time to do il. Bickering about the
terms has dragged over many years.
Now we need our horses. Let US see

ment of a bill wiich will provide for
the utilization of our enormous wa
