WHERE THE OLD SHOE
PINCHES

Louis II. Hancy of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers is quoted as say
ing before the senate committee on
agriculture that the packers business
is too great to be healthy.
Mr.. Haney meant 1t was too big to
DO healthy for Southern Wholesale
grocers, who. according to Mr.. Han
ey. are undersold by the packers,
This is state of Affairs which the
people of the south regard as highly
healthful to themselves. At least
they have not gone on record to the
contrary.
This raises the question: Is the
Kenyon bill designed to hamstring
The packers for the benefit of the
wholesale grocers or is it designed to
protect the people
Mr., Haney alleges that the packers
control 25 per cent of the wholesale
grocery business of the country and
he predicts that after complete mon
opoly is accomplished the packers
will cease to be satisfied with small
profit. Small profits are beneficial
rather than detrimental to the pub
lie, but are the packers to be hung,
drawn and quartered now for crimes
which their competitors predict they
viii commit in future? The packers,
big and little, should be properly req
ulated in the interest of all the peo-
pie.
But to make mere business crime
in the same breath that we admit its
beneficence, would be both foolish
and unjust The big packers are a
product of evolution and they were
evolved from the wasteful un-hygenie
sinking slaughter houses Of gem
Grafton or two ago. Does anybody
want to turn back to them, or even
take single step in that direction?
If there is any iniquity in the big
packers we believe that It can be elm
mated without polling them as they
poll steer.

BOND EXEMPTIONS

Congressman Edmund Plat of
New York, chairman OF the House
committee on Banking and Curren-
cy, fayors the early reduction of the
tax on Liberty bonds. One of his
reasons Is that at present the bonds
of the land banks have an advantage
over the Liberty issues in that they
are exempt from taxation. Mr.. Platt
believes that instead OF repeating
that exemption we should bring
down to some extent the surfaces on
other government bonds so that all
issues eventually may be on the
