1t will be recalled that 10 years
ago, on the 30th of July. the United
States acquired the first airplane. This
government was the first in the world
to be the possessor Of an airplane. but
had. however. no pilots. Later in the
season the following American army
officers were taught to fly by Wilbur
Wright: First Lieut.. Frank p. Lahm,
now colonel, and First Lieut.. b. ID.
Foulois. now brigadier general.
On July 80, 1909. Orville Wright
and b. ID. Foulois together made the
second and final trial flight with the
Wright machine contracted for by the
government the year before. This
was cross-country trip of five miles
in each direction. with and against
tho wind. The speed made was AZ
miles an hour. On July 81 the en-
durance test of one hour was made in
flight which totaled 10 minutes,
with First Lieut.. Frank p. Lahm.
Lieut.. Lahm has the distinction of be-
ing the first American army officer to
fly.
While the Wright brothers were
negotiating in foreign countries for
the sale of patent rights, they were
communicated with by the United
States government, and in the winter
of 1907 the chief signal officer. Gen.
James Allen, advertised for bids for
an airplane. OF % bids three were
accepted. The Wright brothers were
the only ones to deliver a machine.

The contract price OF the machine
was $4,000. The maximum speed
demanded was 40 miles an hour, with
a bonus of 10 per cent FOR each mile

they continue to come in. These pro-
tests are easily enough explained.
Notification has been given by at least
two of the big packing concerns to
their stockholders and bondholders
that nothing must be left undone to
prevent the enactment of any legis-
lation that will curtail the freedom
of the big packers by placing them
under licensing system, and the mes
sages pouring in upon congressman
are the result. They come from those
who are sharing in the profits.
Senator Harris of Georgia told the
senate Tuesday, in connection with
the allegation of Senator Kenyon of
work against the latter's bill to regu-
late the meat packing industry, that
when he was a member of the Fed
eral Trade commission and the Bor-
packers was introduced "one of the
greatest lobbies that has ever been
before congress tried to defeat the
resolution" and Ito prevent the inves-
tigation from being thorough in go
ing into the high cost of living"
The investigation was made, how
ever, and its disclosures have been
laid before congress. The American
people have been patient and are still
patient, but whether their patience
will Withstand further delay while
another congressional investigation is
made remains to be seen. The de-
mand all over the country for action,
something that will bring relief, is
becoming more and more insistent.
The situation is growing steadily
worse and is rapidly becoming un-
bearable. Delay may be dangerous.

to you as they seemed to me. We are
bound to France by ties of friendship
which we have always regarded, and
shall always regard, as peculiarly
sacred. She assisted us to win our
freedom as nation. 1t is seriously
to be doubted whether we could have
won it without her gallant and timely
aid. We have recently had the privi-
leGe of assisting in driving enemies,
who were also enemies of the world,
from her soil; but that does not pay
our debt to her. Nothing can pay
such debt. She now desires that
we should promise to lend our great
forces to keep her safe against the
power she has had most reason to
fear. Another great nation voluu-
teers the same promise 1t is one
of the fine reversals of history that
that other nation should be the very

Y PACKERS CONTROL
PRICES OF LIVESTOCK
>.rthcr Evidences of Special Advan-
tages of big Five" Are Pointed
Out i'm Report.

Washington, July 31.-Ability oi
the "big five" packers-Swift, Ar.
mour, Norris, Cudahy and Wilson
to determine from day to day the
general level of live stock prices was
declared incontCovertible in the third
section of the Federal Trade commits
sion's report on the industry made
public here.
Information contained in the COM
missions investigation was cited to
show that the big five'' have an in
terest in IS of the so principal mar
ket yards of the country and ma
jority of voting stock in IL others. 1t
was said they buy most of the live
stock sold at these markets.
"They discriminate against and put
at great disadvantage Independent
buyers, who. are their competitors -
the report said. "They manipulate
on occasions the livestock market in
such way as to cause extreme and
unwarranted fiuctuation in the daily
prices paid for live stock. They have
eliminated many competitors and pre-
vented new ones from coming in.
They have restricted the meat supply
of the nation by manipulating the
daily live stock prices and thus dis
couraging the producers of live stock.
"Of the meat trade in the hands of
interstate slaughterers in the United
States, the five big packing companies
have more than rs per cent of the
total. They have the prices Of dressed
meat and packing house products so
well in hand that. within certain lin
itations, meat prices are made to re-
spond to their wishes"
Notwithstanding special advan-
tages said to be enjoyed by the big
packers, the commission declared il
was not demonstrable that they are
more efficient than the "independ-
ents.''
In tracing the ownership of the va
rious stockyards, the commission in
it's report devoted much attention to
the remarkable financial device"
known IS The bearer warrant, which
it was said might be used not only to
hide completely true ownership, but
also was equally effective in making
possible the evasion of income, cor
poratiOn and surtaXes if il came into
more general use Such warrant is
a receipt for a stock certificate, the
latter being made out to the treasurer
of the corporation, who delivers the
warrant to the person who actually
owns the stock. In this way il would
be possible for a stakeholder to re-
ceive dividends and vote without his
identity being known. j. Ogden Ar
mour was said by the commission to
own 1914 per cent of the Chicago
Stockyards company, but the use of
bearer warrants was asserted to have
prevented the commission from dis
covering who owned the other stock
