SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers In drawing
resolutions against the licensing Of
all packers doing interstate business,
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied in the
Kenyon and Kendrlek bills, If enacted,
would have tendency to drive hum
dreds of small packing firms out of the
field of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under IL
censlng system which would be a con-
tinued menace of interference,

Are the great stock yards of Chi
!cago, Kansas City, Omaha and else
where hotbcds of monopolistic control
which succeeds In mulcting the farm
CT ON the one hand, and the consumer
who buys meat, on the other hand?
4 This will he one of the questions
threshing over in the discussion of the
Kenyon bill now before committee of
the Senate.
IF these big markets, where millions
upon millions of dollars change hands,
have am sort Of strangle-hold on
our food resources, few there would
be who would not say, rout them. Yet
equally few, perhaps, could give you
any sort Of vivid word-picture Of
what takes place In these markets
through which flows much Of our farm
wealth.
Separate From Packing Plants.
The "stock yards are synonymous
in the minds of many people with all
packingdom. This Is error number
one. They are operated as corpora
lions wholly distinct from the packing
plant companies that cluster around
them.
The stock yards perform two func-
tions: they are unloading, feeding
and resting stations for live stock and
markets for buying and selling. As
buying and selling places, they are
among the most interesting spots In
the workplaces where one may see
a nation at Its bartering, Huge auc-
ton stations where a fraction Of
point counts, and counts big.
The Chicago stock yards, as the
most notable example, will receive in
a day anywhere from 10000 to 10000
cattle, not to mention hogs and sheep.
These would represent shipments by
many farmers. Each farmer puts his
cattle into the hands of a commission
firm who acts as'his agent. The 'stock
In trade" of the commission firm Is a
satisfied clientele among the farmers
the better bargainers they are for a
Icing price, the more the farmer is dis
posed to patronize them.
A Game for Experts.
1t Is a titanic game, and one for ex-
perts. On the one side are arrayed
the commission men, and on the other
the buyers representing packing. con-
Germs, brokers and others. Both sides
know their business, which is to say
that they know full well what the re-
ceipts of the day are and their rela-
ton to the requirements, and they
know cattle.
The big auction begins. Not from
vi block, but an auction for all that.
Buyers, mounted on ponies seurry
IitRer and thither, making bid on
rne lot here and on another lot there.
The commission man will hold the bid
in aheyanee, diekering for few points
higher price and awaiting the arrival
Of another man on q pony who may
make him a better offer, Every com
mission man is a competitor Of AL the
other commission meni and every buy
er is a competitor Of all the other buy
ers,
We say that all Of these men know
cattle. A steer Is not a standardized
commodity, Nature makes him what
he IL. The contour of his launches,
tho build of his body and his makeup
In general have everything to do with

at Topeka and Osawatemie-is con-

being s2i4-3e a year at the Topeka
Institution and $2t4.95 at Osawatomie-
On this basis the daily expense per
capita in these three institutions is
ss61 at the state prison; s5s7 at the
Topeka asylum, and S-5ss q day at
the Osawatouie state hospital.

the Topeka state hospital, T-52 cents;
for the average daily attendance at
the Osawat3mie institution. OF 1850
inmates and 1s7 employees. the per
meal cost was 1-459 cents. For the
7ss inmates Of the state prison, the
meals cost 1z3S cents each The rea-
son for the increase in price at the
prison was that the number in the
Topeka asylum, for instance, is more
than twice the number in the state
prison. also many Of the prisoners are
engaged in heavy manual toll and
hence are fed heavier than hospital
inmates. At the asyIums the state
feeds both employees and inmates.
while at the peuitentiary the attend
ants receive proporcionateIy larger sal
aries and pay their own board bills

was driving a Buick roadster west on

completely demoiishiug the wheel.
Shortly after noon. a car backing
away from the curbing at the court

cling west on Fifth street. but little
damage resulted The fourth accident
occurred at Seventh and Harrison

BIC ESTATE GAIN
Property in Probate Court
Here Worth Ss,7o4,s75.04.
Gain Is About S1,171.3s5 Over
Preceding Year.

The total amount OF money and per-
sonaI property, not including real es-
tate, on the hands of the adninisera-
tors and executors OF the 7ss estates
now in process Of administration in
Shawnee county. totals s2.704.s15-04,
according to the annual report made
by Judge Ralph H Cav. of the pro-
bate court, to the county assessor. This
Is q gain of approximately s1rIII.3s5
over the preceding year.
The law requires the probate Judge
to make a report OF this kind, based
on the latest reports OF the executors
the county assessor March 1 of each
year, in order that the proper taxes
may be assessed. The reuarka Bile in
crease in the figures this year over
1918 is attributed in part to the John
r Mulvane estate. in which the per-
sonal property exceeded in value a
million dollars
Judge Cav pointed out this morn
ing that the population of Shawnee
county was composed largely of re-
tired farmers and business men. many
OF them from smaller towns. who had
moved and settled down in the ca pi-
tai city in order that their children
might have the best educational facfIf-
ties. as well as for other natural rea-
sons As these people pass away. they
leave an estate of greater or less pro-
portions to be administered.
Per Capita Wealth High
The greater the per capita wealth
Of a county. according to Judge Cav.
the greater the size Of the estates TO
be administered The per capita
wealth of Shawnee county is estimated
at s1.65S. the total valuation in the
county being about a hundred million
dollars On the other hand. Wyan-
dotte county, with a population twice
as great boasts a per capita wealth
Of only sf,129. which Judge Cav ex-
plains is due to the fact that the popu-
Iatfou OF Wyandotte county is made
up largely Of Iaborins people Sedge-
wick county, however, leads both
Wyandotte and Shawnee, with a total
wealth OF s12T 900. 600 and per cap
ita wealth of sf,6Ts. Butler county
where the great oil fields are located
furnishes the unusual case Of a county
with a valuation of Sis. 100000 and
a population of only $4,000. making
the per capita wealth about sass.
Political economists contend that
every estate in q county passes thru
the process of administration about
once in every generation, and the rec
ords of the probate court show this
theory to be well founded
