SENATOR KENYoN's CONTRAST.
ING VIEWS.

Just what Is the purpose Of the
Kenyon bill now in hearing at WASH
ingtOn would be hard to deduce from
Senator K~enyon's own statements. In
the bill itself the purpose Is set forth
as follows: "To stimulate tho pro-
duction, sale, and distribution Of live
stock and live stock products, and for
other purposes" This stimulation Of
live stock production may be well
taken as u bid to the consumer to hope
for lower meat prices.
But he has a different thought to
present to producers. In a letter ad.
dressed recently to the Wallace Farm
er he says: II do not believe myself
that the situation as to restricted
consumption is going to be changed
very much, and there will be the neces
sity Of less production" OF course
less production would supposedly mean
higher prices for live stock, but also
higher prices for meat.
Are either the general public or the
farmer going to be fooled by this
method Of playing up the one against
the otherl It Is not likely. Farmers
and consumers are both coming to the
realization that hampering the pack
ers is not going to bring higher prices
for live stock nor lower prices for
meat, but quite the opposite.

SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers in drawing
resolutions against the licensing of
all packers doing interstate business,
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied in the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills, If enacted,
would have a tendency to drive hun
dreds of small packing firms out of the
field Of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under a H.
c~ensing system which would be a con-
tinued menace of interference.

what he is worth as a beef animal. No
one can determine his value but the
men in the pens,-the commission men
and the buyers.
Buyers Represent Many Firms
Many think that these cattle are all
purchased by the big packers, which
is far from being the case. Besides
the buyers for the big packers there
are always in the Chicago yards from
q hundred t o a hundred and fifty other
buyers on the scene, many of them
representing firms that are not located
near the stock yards or even in the
same city. All told, the large pack
ers do only "A per cent Of the meat
animal slaughtering of the entire COM
try.
The penalty which awaits the buyer
who will not bid up to true values Is
that the other buyers take the cattle
away from him and his firm will be
without its requirements. On the 9TH
e. hand the commission men cannot
stick it III for an exorbitant price;
for the buyers would cut down on the
amounts of their purchases. There
are some people who will buy meat
a. any price, but the majority Of peo-
pie reduce their meat purchases pre-
cisely as the prices mount upward.
The buyers in the stock yards reflect
this attitude of the general public al
most as accurately as a thermometer
indicates the temperature.
The Arena Of Supply and Demand.
In other words, the stock yards are
the meeting places of two tremendous
powers of the economic world,-Sup-
ply and Demand. Any n who WIS.,
its one of these places, ven as the
most casual observer, and watches
what occurs there, will give up any
illusion he may have about monopoly
or control. Too many buyers and SELL
ers are involved, and judging the
value of an individual steer or a pen
full of steers is altogether too compli-
Gated a matter to cover by any sort
Of agreement in advance.
The Kenyon bill would make it lille
gal for any packers to have financial
holdings in stock yards corporations.
Common sense rightly asks, "Why?"
How such holdings, which, where they
exist, are nothing more than financial
backing of a worthy enterprise, can
control the men in the pens who are
hired to use their judgment, is too
deep to be seen at a glance. The ad-
vocates of the bill should be forced to
explain. And how a lack of such hold
ings would prevent control or monop.
oily, if such things were possible, is an
other thing which the proponents Of
the bill should be able to elucidate.

Are the great stock yards Of Chi
cago, Kansas City, Omaha and else
where hOtbeds Of mOnOpolistic control
which succeeds In mulcting the farm
er on the one hand, and the consumer
who buys meat, on the other hand?
This will be one of the questions
threshing over in the discussion of the
Kenyon bill now before a committee Of
the Senate.
If these big markets, where millions
upon millions Of dollars change hands,
have any sort of a strangle-hOld on
u food resources, few there would
be who would not say, rout them. Yet
equally few, perhaps, could give you
any sort Of a vivid word-picture Of
what takes place In these markets
through which flows much of our farm
wealth.
Separate From Packing Plants.
The "stock yards" are synonymous
in the minds of many people with all
packingdom. This is error number
one. They are operated as corpora,
lions wholly distinct from the packing
plant companies that cluster around
them.
The stock yards perform two func'
tons: they are unloading, feeding
and resting stations for live stock +; and
markets for buying and selling. As
buying and selling places, they are
among the most interesting spots in
the wOrld-places where n may see
a nation at its bartering. Huge auc'
ton stations where a fraction Of 8
point counts, and counts big.
The Chicago stock yards, as the
most notable example, will receive in
a day anywhere from 10000 to 30,OOC
cattle, not TO mention hogs and sheep
These would represent shipments by
many farmers. Each farmer puts his
cattle into the hands of a commission
firm who acts as his agent. The 'stocl
in trade" of the commission firm is
satisfied clientele among the farmers
the better bargainers they are for a
lCng price, the more the farmer is dis
posed to %patroniZe them.
A Game for Experts.
It Is a titanic game, and one for ex
perts. On the one side are arrayed
the commission men, and on the Other
the buyers representing packing con
Germs, brokers and others. Both sides
know their business, which is to say
that they know full well what the re
ceipts of the day are and their rela
ton to the requirements, and the.
know cattle.
The big auction begins. Not from
n block, but an auction for all that
Buyers, mounted on ponies, scurry
hither and thither, making a bid OF

The commission man will hold the bic

of another man on a pony who ma!
make him a better offer. Every com
mission man Is q competitor of all tn,
other commission men and every buy
er is q competitor of all the other buy
ers.
We say that all of these men know
cattle. A steer Is not a Standardized
commodity. Nature makes him wha
he is. The contour of his launches
the build Of his body and his makeup
in general have everything to do witt
