|DO NOT WANT
|. LICENSING BILLS
Farmers, Stockmen and Mer-
chants Oppose Packer Leg
islation at Washington.

Representing a diversity Of inter.
ests and including farmers, feeders, re-
tail butchers and produce dealers, full
ly thousand individuals have made
their way to Washington to enter their
protests against the packer licensing
plan noY In hearing before the senate
agriculture committee.
Far from solving in any measure the
high cost of living, the proposed legis-
lation If passed would be dangerous
experiment for everyone, is the con-
sensus Of opinion held by these Wit
nesses.
"We've had government control Of
railroads and telephones and tele.
graphs until we're plumb worn out,
and we don't want any more" w. 2.
Carpenter, stock feeder Of Tarkio. No.,
told the committee. "Tm 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 J. p. Lynch,
another feeder from Tarkio.
The concern Of stockmen and butch
ers who fear that hampering the pack
ers win only result In disrupting the
meat industry without benefit to any
one, was not the sole interest displayed
lat the hearing. Business men through
out the country are strongly against
the licensing feature which would es-
tablish a precedent for bringing gov.
eminent 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.
In speaking for the chamber Of com.
merce Of Moultr1e, Ga, O. T. Caldwell
said: We've got Swift & Co. down
there, and they've helped more than
anything else to get our farmers to
diversity. The live stock business
needs their national distribution"

That Mornlno Crouch.

Morning "grouchiness" is frequent
ly nothing more than product of the
late hour habit. SO is a tendency to
see the world at all times through
smoked glasses. Prolong the hours of
sleep and optimism may soon replace
the pessimism deplorably in evidence
in many short sleepers. And with the
change In mood win come an increase
In working power. For pessimists are
VIGOROUSLY inefficient workers, If only
because Of the mental and physical de
moralization which pessimism always
involves in some degree.

THE PACKERS AND
I Refrigerator CARS

Whether refrigerator cars should be
owned by the railroads or by the pack
ers-a point to be determined by leg
tslation now pending in Washington
may seem to be q question rather re.
mote from the interests of the average
person. But, inasmuch as these "ics
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 beet
steak our concern 10 q deep one.
It 10 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 a report Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, made after an In
vestigation Of all privately owned
cars, to the effect that there were no
unfair practices and that q 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 60
around and that the legislation In
question makes no provision for insur-
ing that the railroads shall furnish
them In sufficient number. On the
ether hand, to pool their cars and take
chances Of getting what happened to
be available, would seriously handi-
cap the distribution of their perishabls
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 La founded on q basis OF
rapid distribution. would be badly
muddied.
In these contentious pro and con,
there are three parties whose interests
are at stake-the packers, their COM
pstitors and the public. Only one Of
these parties could gain a possible ad-
vantage II the packers, cars were
taken away from them, viz, the pack
ers' competitors. The cars are now
handled on an economic
and efficient basis, and no change Ia
justified unless unfairness Is definitely
and absolutely proved-which would
be In absolute contradiction to the re-
port that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has already rendered on
the subject. The public would pay the
bill for ineficiency In the packing In
dustry, and 1t has no desire to pay this
bill In order to help few Of the pac
- competitors,

Employees, Initiative.

Nothing pleases an employer more
than to find that employees have been
useful and helpful In doing things thai
they were not told to do. 1t shows
the spirit Of initiative; 1t indicates the
ambition to get on, willingness to
pay the price. The progressive EN-
ployer has little use for the employee
who never does anything he is not told
to do. Originality, intentiyeness, re.
sourcefulness are passports to his
favor-and to promotion.-The New

Language is properly the servant Of

the acknowledgment of Dryden that a
rhyme had often helped him to an

While the company has been ex-
pecting orders for some time, it
was not until yesterday that OFF,
cial word was received. While the
men of the organization have made
many close friends IN the tri-cities
and will feel their loss keenly,
still they are enthused over the
present outlook, which might indi
cate early active service. The COM
pany personnel is for the most
part made up of tri-city men. so
in this respect local residents have
a personal interest in its move

are now urging their friends in the
local cities to join them, and the
officers of the company will well
come new recruits or men who
have already seen service and de-
sire to reenlist, as the company
ranks are far below the prescribed
strength.
All men who have been consider
ing enlistment and desire to join
an organization in which many of
their own toWnsmen are members
are urged to go to the arsenal at
once and confer with the company
officers. There are excellent OPP
portunities in the organization and

Controlling Hydrophobia

There was an outbreak in Nevada
n 1915 in which half million dol
