FARMERS OPPOSE
U. s. CONTROL OF
M EAT INDUSTRY
Witnesses at Washington Air
Views on Reasons for
High Prices OF
Food.

Washington, Aug. 22,-Federal
regulation of the packing industry
proposed in the Kenyon and Ken
drick bills now on hearing before the
senate agriculture committee, found
neither friends nor advocates in the
long list of witnesses who aired their
views Friday. Though those testi-
flying came from points all the way
between Missouri and Georgia and
their occupations ran the gamut
from farmer, through feeders, stock
ers. retail butchers and dealers in
produce, and while their opinions as
to the reasons and responsibility Of
high cost of living were diverse and
occasionally most forcefully put, the
packers, all insisted. should be left
alone. Interference with them, the
tenor of the statements ran, would
be dangerous to the consumer and
everybody else.
Tired of Control.
We've had governmental control
of railroads and telephones and tele-
graphs, until we are plumb worn out
and we don't want any more" w. P.
Carpenter, stock feeder of Tarkio,
Mo, assured the committee. I'm in
favor of the man who can produce
the cheapest going ahead as far as
he can. That is the way to cut down
the cost of living"
Thomas Dunn, a St. Louis meat
dealer, aired an unusual view of the
situation when he said people want
to pay high prices, because they
think they are getting better stuff"
These hearings will help get the
fool ideas out of their heads" he
added, while the committee laughed.
That is the only good they will
do. But I'm paying $40 more
beef carcass than did three or
four years ago and Id like to ask
whose getting that $40 now"
]. P. Lynn, another Tarkio stock
feeder, told him y
Pm getting it," he said, "but Pm
not keeping it. Everything else
costs twice as much"
In answer to Senator Capper of
Kansas. Mr.. Lynn, and a group of
other feeders, said they had lost
some money on cattle this spring.
But that is not the packers |
FAULT" J. A. Christensen, a third |
man from the same district. said.
ANY man can make a mistake
and pay too much"
All of the feeders insisted that |
was keen in stock |
Yards. said they spoke from long
experience in selling there, and |
we're inclined to scott at assertions
that the packers dominated the
markets. Proposals in the bills to
AXE away the packers refrigerator

able as proposals to take away |

ALABAMA REPRESENTATIVE
RECEIVES INTERNAL MACHINE

Gadsden. Ala. May 1.-Repre-
sentative John l.. Burnett, OF Ala
hama. received package containing
an i"rernal machine The fact that
Mr.. Burnett was unable to open the
package saved him from possible Sc
rious injury The box. which bore
"Gimbel Brothers. New York" name
on the wrapping was turned over to
the police. IT was exploded by fir
ing pistol shot at it.
The bomb was enclosed in a
screw top box, which was hard to
unfasten and while Mr. Burnett and
his son were attempting to remove
the lid they remembered press dis
patches telling of similar boxes sent
to Mayor Hanson. Of Seattle. and
former Senator Hardwick. of Geor-
gia, and ceased their efforts to re-
move the lid, later delivering the
box to the police
Representative Burnett's' activi-
ties in regard to the immigration
question is believed to be the mo-
tive for the sending OF the Internal
machine.

HIGH COURT UPHOLOS
CAlL0W ACT TITLES
RULES AGAINST DAN HURLEY IN
SUIT TO EJECT OLYMPIA
OYSTER co,

Title to at least so per cent of oys-
ter lands on Puget Sound, as pur-
chased by metes and bounds under
the Callow act, is confirmed by the
supreme court in deciding a suit
brought by Dan Hurley in Mason
county to eject the Olympia Oyster
company from beds they had cult
waited since 1895 under deeds issued
BY the state.
Hurley claimed title under a state
deed issued to him in 1913 to the
tidelands lying between the mean low
and extreme low tide lines, contest
ing validity of a conveyance of land
for oyster purposes below mean low
tide.
The supreme court. in confirming
the Olympia Oyster company's title,
holds that all oyster lands are not
necessarily tide lands as defined by
law, and that the object of the act is
to authorize the sale of lands suitable
for the cultivation of oysters, wheth-
er the beds are above or below mean
high or extreme low tides. The ruling
affirms a decision of Judge John r.
Mitchell while he was on the local
superior court bench.
