The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-07-09

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war
profits, stated that the five large meat packers have been
profiteering and that they have a monopoly of the market.
These conclusions. if fair and just, are matters of serious
concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of our country.
The figures given on profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have a monopoly is unsup-
ported by the facts.
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American indus
tries. Any citizen who would famiiarize himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report states that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were 100000 900 for the three war years.
This sum is compared with SIG, 600, 900 as the average
annual profit for the three years before the war, making
it appear that the war profit was $12l, 900. 600 greater
than the pre-war profit.
This compares a three-year profit viii a one-year profit
a manifestly unfair method of comparison. 1t is not only
misleading, but the Federal Trade commission apparently
has made a mistake in the figures themselves.
The aggregate three-year profit of $l4O,OOO,O 600 was
earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. 1t
means about three cents on each dollar Of sales-or a
mere fraction of a cent per pound of product.
Packers profits are a negligible factor in prices of live
stock and nests. No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore-an and this is very important only a small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends. The
balance has been put back into the businesses. 1t had to
be, as you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solve-and solve qucky-during
these war years.
To conduct this business in war times, with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two or three times the former
prices for live stock, has required the use of two or three
times the ordinary amount of working capital. The
additional profit makes only a fair return on this, and as
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-07-09

has been stated, the larger portion of the profits earned
hes been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to pro-
vide additions and improvements made necessary by the
enormous demands of our army and navy and the Allies.
If you are a business man you will appreciate the signifi-
canoe of these facts. If you are unacquainted with busi-
ness, talk this matter over with some business acquaint-
ance-with your banker, say-and ask him to compare
profits of the packing industry with those of any other
large industry at the present time.
in support of the statement that the large packers have a
monopoly. The Commission own report shows the large
number and importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove to any fair minded person that they are in keen
competition with each other, and that they have DO power
to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore, government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one-third of the meat business of the country.
They wish it were possible to interest you in the details
of their business. Of how, for instance, they can sell
dressed beef for less than the cost of the live animal, ow-
ing to utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful
story of the methods of distribution throughout this broad
land, as we'll as in other countries.
The five packers mentioned feel justified in cooperating
with each other to the extent of together presenting this
public statement. 3
in its time of need; they have met all war time demands
promptly and completely and they are willing to trust their
case to the "Reminiscences of the American people with
the facts before them.

Must Pass Out Pink Ballots

Judges Of election must hand pink
amendment ballots to the voters at
the election November s, according
to an opinion given to Former Gov
ernor S. r. Van SAINT, chairman of
the Minnesota Dry Federation, by
Attorney General Clifford L. Hilton.
This will aid us materially" said
Mr.. Van SAINT There had been some
question in certain quarters as to the
duty Of judges of election in this re-
spect, but the opinion of the at
torney general clears it up.
However, we must not slacken
our efforts to see that everybody
votes on the prohibition amendment.
We have a hard fight in Minnesota,
but we are doing all we can to in
duce every dry voter to go to the
polls on November 5 and surely vote
the pink ballot"
The opinion Of Attorney General
Hilton follows:
I'm response to your inquiry, !
have to advise you that it has been,
and is now, my official opinion that
1t is the duty of judges of election to
pass out the pink ballot, which con-
tains the constitutional amendment,
to all voters. The voters are not re-
quired to ask for the pink ballot.
I'm order for the amendment to
carry, 1t must receive a majority
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1918-11-01

of all votes cast at the election. A
majority Of all votes cast on the
amendment will not be sufficient to
carry 1t unless 1t also be a majority
of all votes cast at the election.
Yours very truly,
Clifton L. Hilton,
Attorney General"
