DEFENDS WAR CONTROL.

Chicago-In a speech before the
National Lumber Manufacturers as
sociation Director General of Rail
roads Hines denied that the railroads
have made a poorer showing under
government control than they would
have recorded under private manage
ment.
"Had private ownership leen con-
tinued through the war emergency,
there would have been disaster" said
Mr.. Hines.
The speaker opposed government
ownership and private control as for
merly conducted He advocated re-
turn to private management under a
guarantee by the government of a
fixed return on capital and suggested
a 1-2 per cent. He favors an advisory
bureau by the government to set rates
now fixed by the interstate commerce
commission.

Do NOT Want
LICENSING BILLS
Farmers, Stockmen and Eer.
chants Oppose Packer Leg
islation at Washington.

Representing q diversity OF inter-
ests and including farmers, feeders, re-
all butchers and produce dealers, full
ly thousand individuals have made
heir way 10 Washington 10 enter their
protests against the packer licensing
plan now in hearing before the senate
agriculture committee.
Far from solving in any measure the
high cost OF living. the proposed legis-
lation II passed would be a dangerous
experiment for everyone. is the con-
sensus Of opinion held by these wit
nesses.
"We've had government control or
railroads and telephones and tele-
graphs until we're plumb worn out,
and we don't want any more" w. p.
Carpenter, stock feeder of Tarkio, Mo-,
told the committee. I'm in favor Of
the man who can produce the cheapest
going ahead as far as he can. That's
the way to cut down the cost OF liv-
ing" -
That the packers dominated the
stock markets was an idea secuted
By testifying stock feeders. who said
they found the stock yards places OF
keen competition.
Taking away the packers refrigera-
tor cars was as reasonable as taking
away their butcher knives, was the
conviction expressed by ]. p. Lynch,
another feeder from Tarkio.
The concern Of stockmen and butch.
ers who fear that hampering the pack
ers will only result in disrupting the
meat industry without benefit TO any
one. was not the sole interest displayed
at the hearing. Business men through
out the country are strongly against
the licensing feature which would es-
tablish a precedent for bringing gov
ernment control and politics into the
conduct OF all manner of business.
Many business organizations have
expressed themselves formally. through
resolutions. as against the principle of
bringing business under government
interference Of the kind proposed In
the Kenyon and Kendrick bills.

THE PACKERS AND
REFRIGERATOR CARS

Whether refrigerator cars should be
owned by the railroads or by the pack
ers-a point to be determined by leg
islation now pending in Washington
may seem to be a question rather re-
mote from the interests of the average
person.. But. inasmuch as these "ice
boxes on wheels" as one Of the pack
ers terms them, are the conveyances
which bring our beefsteak to town, we
may assume that we have a certain
concern about them. II they have any
thing to do with the price OF the beef.
steak our concern is a deep one.
II is maintained by some that these
cars give the packers who now own
them an unfair advantage over com
petitors. This is stoutly denied by the
packers, who offer as proof the fact
that they pay the same freight rates
as any shipper; and they assert that
the only advantage they enjoy Is in
being able to get enough cars for their
needs by furnishing them themselves
instead of depending upon the rail-
roads to do so. In this they are backed
up by report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. made after an in
vestigation OF all privately owned
cars. to the effect hat there were no
unfair practices and that a radical
change would adversely affect both
shippers and the public.
While not opposing, in principle.
railroad ownership OF refrigerator
cars. the packers maintain that there
are not enough OF these cars to 20
around and that the legislation In
question makes no provision for lnsur-
ing that the railroads shall furnish
them In sufficient number. On the
other hand, to pool their cars and take
chances OF getting what happened to
be available. would seriously hsndi-
cap the distribution of their perishable
meat products. The stream Of ship
ments from the packing plants would
be blocked. which In turn would block
the buying OF live stock, and the In
dustry, which is founded on a basis Of
rapid distribution, wosld " badly
