Made No Profit
The consumer would
pay only III cent a
pound less for his
dressed beef.
If Swift & Company
waived all profit on
cattle, and gave it to
consumers in the form of
lower beef prices, this
would reduce the cost
to the average consumer
less than25 cents per year
for all the beef he eats.
In fact, the packers pro-
fit is SO insignificant that
if surrendered to the con-
sumner the effect upon
retail meat prices would
be practically nothing.
1t is because of the
volume of meat hand
led that the investor
in Swift & Company's
business receives a satis-
factory return upon his
money.
These figures for 1917
are convincing:
The profit of $1.29
per head averages
IA cent per pound
on dressed beef

Per animal for beef S68.o7
Per animal for by-products 24.09

OUR CRAZY TAX SYSTEM

Step over here in the shade a min
ute and let me tell you something. A
very ridiculous thing happened to-
day. It's scandalous. It all hap
pened because friend of mine want
ed to buy a home. The following
names are not genuine, but for the
sake of brevity, I will use the names
of Smith, Brown and Jones.
Smith wanted to build home and
pay $4,000 for il. He didn't have the
money. Brown had that much idle
money laying ia the bank. Smith
borrowed the $4,000 from Brown and
turned it over to a contractor by the
names of Jones who built the house.
Now what has happened? aa
The tax assessor wants Smith to
pay taxes on a $1,000 home.
The tax assessor wants Brown to
pay taxes on $1,000 worth of notes.
The tax assessor wants Jones and
his associates who received the
money for building the house to pay
taxes on $4,000 money in the bank"
All this happened because Smith
was good citizen; wanted to build
4 home and make a fireside for his
loved ones; wanted to help develop
The country by gracing it with anoth-
II attractive piece of architecture;
wanted to give labor employment in
erecting the structure.
