Bills Putting Packers Under
u. S. Control Introduced.
Senators Kenyon and Kendrick
and Rep. Anderson Authors.
PROVIDE LICENSING BY U. S.
Public Markets To Reduce HI.
C. of L. Is a Feature.
Industry Must Be Guarded
Against DespOts-Kendrick.

Washington, June 2S.-Bills to put
the meat business under federal con-
troll were introduced today in the
house and senate.
Senators Kenyon, Iowa, ard Ken
drick. Wyoming, introduced bills in
the senate and Representative Ander-
son, Minnesota, presented the Kenyon
bill in the house.
Provide Licensing.
Both the Kendrick and KENYON
bills provide for federal licensing of
packers, and also provides they cannot
do business without a federal license,
which may be revoked If packers vio-
late any provisions the laws, or
are found guilty of unfair practices.
The Kenyon measure takes in not
only the meat industry, but the unre-
lated businesses into which the pack
as the grocery business.
Chief features of the Kenyon bill
are:
Federal licenses for all meat pack
ers.
Provision that packers must within
two years dispose of all their interest
in stock yards.
Pool Refrigerator Cars.
Making refrigerator cars common
carriers.
Providing control of the unrelated
industries in which packers engage.
Establishments of public markets for
packing house products to reduce the
cost. of living.
The Kendrick bill follows the same
general lines except that it does not
provide for control of the unrelated
industries or for the establishment of
the public markets.
mo one will deny now that the
meat packing industry is of interna-
tional Importance and, that the bulk of
business is done by a few individuals
commonly known as the big packers"
said Senator Kendrick today. This
concentration of control was gained by
practices which the packers them
selves acknowledge as questionable. 1
I'M willing to accept recent statements
by the packers that these methods
have been abandoned. but there can
be no guarantee that the industry will
not relapse into it's former condition
We can no more trust the benevolent
despot in big business than We can in
government"

Many Improvements Suggested
for Gage Swimming Hole.
Swimmers Say Towels Need
Washing Badly.
NK SHOWERS IN BATH HOUSE
DuckbOards Suggested To I'm
prove Floors.
May Ask State Board of Health
To Aid.

CAGES lake as a cooling resort is
more popular than ever this summer.
Every evening and all day Sunday the
waters of the lake are nothing more
than a seething frothing swirl of
mems and women's bathing caps.
Unless some changes are made in the
sanitation of things in general at the
pool il is almost certain that the popu-
larity of the lake has reached its
climax.
Taking Up the conditions surround
ing and accompanying the use OF
Cages lake as a place to swim there
are certain salient points which i'm
mediately attract the attention OF VS.
TORS.
Complain of Bath House.
The lake is dirty Since concrete
walls and bottom to the lake are lack
ing this cannot be helped during the
present season. 1t is clean dirt for
the most part and the fact that the
water is chlorinated apparently as
sures safety from any sort of infec-
ton due to swimming in the water.
1t Is the bath house and the bath
house appurtenances which cause
most of the complaints. Saturday aft
ernoOn the towels furnished bathers at
five cents per towel were so dirty that
many persons refused to use them for
anything more than standing mats on
the floor of the bath house. When at
tendants were questioned as to wheth-
or the towels were ever washed the
answer was YES" And very shortly
after that an exhibition of the wash
Ing of the towels was given.
Method Used in Washing.
The towels were gathered from the
floor of the bath house and dumped
into a large tub of the usual, common
or garden variety-the kind that is in
Il 4, t. NrNWNG lFra
every fair Monday. In the tub was
small portion of water not clean ifelf
but having the hue of the ground and
the riled waters of the lake. With
dirty water and dirty towels safely
placed in the tub one small boy
washed" the towels by swishing them
around in the tub a few times and
pushing them and punching them with
a tin instrument probably called a
washer" There was no hot water
nor to the eye of the casual observer
anything connected with the towel
washing operation which would really
wash towels
In fact when the towels came out
from the wash they seemed just as
dirty as when they went into it save
perhaps that the dirt was better dis
tributed and stained the whole towel
a fine clay color instead of merely
appearing in ultra-dirty spots.
Want Shower Baths.
\ constantly running shower bath
thru which bathers must battle both
to and from the lake itself. has been
suggested as an Improvement in the
bath house. At present the floors Of
the bath houses are said to be moth
ing more nor less tnan mud puddles.
Water and mud make the floor slip
perry and make il impossible for bath
ers to dress and keep clean. Ones
feet are always muddy.
a goodly number of bathers who
habituany use the park have an
nounced thier intention of taking the
matter up with the state health COM
mission unless something is done to
rectify conditions at Gage park by
the present CITY administration.

TAKING 1920 CENSUS HAS
NOTHING TO DO With
TAKING OF PROPERTY.

Washington October H. That
the facts and figures gathered by
the enumerators, supervisors and
special agents of the Fourteenth
Decermial Census will have abb
solutely nothing to do with valu-
alton of property for taxation
purposes is a point | desire to
emphasize with all possible Wig
or" said Director of the Census
Sam l. Rogers today in speaking
of the forthcoming 1920 enumer-
alton.
Some difficulty has been ex-
perienced in the past, " continued
Mr.. Rogers, in getting absolute
ly accurate values of land and
other property because of a GER
tain amount of confusion oyer
this point. Many people were
enormously inclined to connect
the Census with taxation. We
hope to avoid any such confusion
this time"
The act of Congress which
under the Constitution, provides
for the taking of the Fourth
teenth Decennial Census makes
it unlawful for any enumerator,
special agent, supervisor or other
employee Of the Census Bureau
to divulge any information what
soever concerning the census
returns. A heavy fine and pos
sibly Imprisonment, or both. is
the penalty prescribed for viola
ton Of this provision of the law.
The proper tabulated figures
of the Census are given out no
where but here in Washington
and then only upon the express
authority of the Director of the
Census Bureau.
Actual work by the enumera-
tors in the various census dis
tricts will begin on January 2,
1920. 1t is expected that the
population statistics of all cities
and towns will be gathered in
approximately two weeks. Final
figures for rural districts, now
ever, can hardly be gathered in
less than a month.
