PACKERS ADVISE
 AGAINST FU1HER
 MEAT REGISTRATION
Morris Says Would Just
 Muddle Up Things.
CLAIM PRESENT LAWS
 WILL PREVENT ABUSE
Armour Will Refer to Substitute Leg
 islatiOn to arkerS.

Washington, Jan. 28-President of two big packing companies today ad- vised Senate and House committees against enactment of any additions, legislation to regulate the meat pack ing industry. Louis F. Swift, of Swift and Company, told the Senate agricul- ture committee present laws were adequate to deal with any abuses charged, and Edward s. Morris, of Morris and Company, testified before the House interstate commerce com mittee that any further legislation "would just muddle things up."
 J. Ogden Armour, President of Armour and Company, announced yes- terday, that he expected to consult representatives of all packers concern ing measures to be offered as substi- tutes for legislation now pending. MT. Swift, when asked today by Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, if he expected to assist with such legislation said he felt much of the so-called feeling against the particulars" was exagger7 ated and that legislation would not affect the situation.
 Suggests Limitation.
 Some limitation of capitalization of packing companies was suggested by Senator Gronna, of North Dakota, af- ter Francis J. Heney had cross-exam- ined Mir. Swift concerning series of increases of his company's capital stock.
 MT. Heney said that my separtin the Swift concern into three organiza- tions recently the market value of the original stock had been increased more than $100,O00,0O. MT. Swift denied this and agreed to inform the committee as to the transactions deal ing with the separation of the one company into Swift and Company; Swift international and Libby, Me Neill and Libby.
 Movement Universe Now.
 MT. Morris in completing his testi- mony, said the packers should not be interferred with as long as they op- crate at the present degree of eff ciency and justify treat both the producer and the consumer. Legisla- tion would be particularly harmful at the present time, he said, because the packers are making every effort to get back to a pre-war basis.
 Asked by Representative Rayburn of Texas, if he did not believe if would be advisable for tke govern ment to at least fix the price of meat MT. Morris said such an attempt un. doubtedly would result disastrously because there were many factors en. tering into the determinatio nof meal

UP THE HILL AND DOWN

The psychology of good times and
bad times is interesting. Today's
soaring price level is the result of a
worldwide mental condition. Every
body sees before him the pot of gold
at the foot of the rainbow and every
body, as he rushes for it hears behind
him the pad pad OF the feet of the
wolf at the door Whenever a work
mgman tries to buy pound of round
steak he staggers back and says:
Heaven help me, must have raise
in pay" And whenever the owner of
that pound steak tries to bug a doz-
en- eggs he staggers back and says:
Heaven protect me, but / must get
more cash for my steak.
Every man in Christendom is filled
with the idea that he must get more.
that he is not getting his share. that
he will starve to death at s O'Clock
Tuesday evening if he doesn't get
more. The producer of the raw eIe-
ments must lend Europe the money

WOMEN WILL UPSET 1920
FIGHT?

Political leaders of both major
party organizations just now are more
concerned with the women vote than
any other phase of the 1920 political
campaign.
Regardless of whether the federal
suffrage amendment is ratified so
to participate in the 1920 election,
several million new women voters
will go to the polls in November of
next year.
Many leading members of congress
are swinging TO the opinion that the
amendment will be ratified in time
to permit the women of the entire
nation to vote at the next president
ial election. They are taking this
view knowing that number of the
southern states are expected to turn
down the amendment.
Perhaps the best guess is that 49,
100000 women voters will participate
in the next election. This is the esti-
mate now most generally accepted

COST OF HIGH LIVING

Tragedy dogs the "waster'' today
There are just two ways in which
rising cost of living can be met
We can increase the supply OF things
by making more, and we can decrease
the demand by buying only what we
need. II the American people as a
whole will quietly and soberly re
gard themselves as being still on a
war basis, and will deny themselves
indulgences which would probably be
prohibited by a wise and well inform
ed war government, they will help
to augment the supplies of necessi-
ties in this country and so help meet
the crucial question of how 1867
salary can be made to suffice for a
1919 living.
The correlatiye of this is to work
harder This is not a facetious re-
mark. but a sound philosophic max
i'm. Any time any man stops work
now he increases the cost of living,
he reduces the value of his own pay,
he filings a stone in the pond Of this
pressing problem which sends out
widening circles of disturbance that
rock all manner of boats most dis
quietingly.
Still there is absolutely no danger
for this country if we all keep our
heads and our jobs. The good old
u. S. A. is not among the bankrupt
nations. We will not be secure of
course, if Europe blows up, and that
means we must be willing to pay
little more possibly for our living in
order that Europe may be succored
by our surplus Philadelphia Public
Ledger.

Most of Mexico lies either or just
without the tropics. Virtually the
entire country lies south of latitude
80. The City of Mexico lies south of
latitude 20. This semi-tropical sit
uation is responsible for much of the
backwardness that is today making
Mexico a nuisance to the world. We
often speak as if the characteristics
of the tropics, lass itude and lack of

TEN MILLION ARE
EAGER TO CROSS OCEAN

The greatest exodus for Europe in
history is looked for as soon the.
transportations facilities to make it
possible. Information gathered by
the British government indicates that
because of living conditions 10000
600 persons are eager to leave the
continent. The situation is regarded
as full Of peril. In official quarters
here it is suggested that the United
States does not appreciate the magni-
tude of the coming emigration
Britain, fully aware of all that this
exodus will mean, will continue its
immigration restrictions. A govern
ment official said:
Britain can not sustain any more.
than it has, and the emigrants will
likely seek homes in the United
States"
Officials here are inclined to warn
the United States to take steps
guarding against being swamped by

WISCONSIN FOREVER

Wisconsin towers high in ways most
distinguishing. For instance:
/. 1t makes over half the cheese in
America.
g. 1t cans three-ffths of all the
peas in this country.
8. 1t is first among states in rye
production.
A. First also in hemp.
5. First in barley, too
s. First likewise in Guernsey cat
tie.
z. And in Brown Swiss cattle.
s. 1t makes one-sixth of American
creamery butter
8. 1t is a close second in cranber-
ries, Massachusetts leading.
TO- Same probably as to sour cher
ries, Michigan being first.
H. 1t no doubt is first in ventilated
barns, thanks to the lamented F. H.
King.
IL. 1t is close to the top in pota-
toes.
49, And way over the top in silos
far ahead of any rival.
Wisconsin possesses about 10000
silos, during the last year alone some
5000 being built till now there is an
average of one or more to every third
farm in Wisconsin! Estimates for
other leading states are New York
with four times Wisconsin's popula-
ton, only $4,000 illinois, more than
twice as populous, $4,000; Iowa, about
exactly as big and prominently agri-
cultural, only $4,000; Indiana, a bit
larger, $4,000; and the empire of Ohio
with its five millions against our two
and quarter millions, $4,000.
Wisconsin, it may be admitted mod
estly, is not first in all things, but,
pray, what state is first in so many?
