STOCK GROWERS ENDORSE
THE KENYON BILL

The Greenwood County Cattlemens
Association in a meeting held at
Eureka, Kansas, on Saturday Aug
ust End 1919 went on record in sup
port of the Kendrick and Kenyon
Bills and of Government regulation Of
the Packers.
Mr.. Joe. Mercer, Sec'y. Of the Kan
sas Live Stock Association in a
lengthy and rousing address outlined
the dangers and evils of Packer own
ership and manipulation. His adj
dress was well received. The follow
ing rebuttal to the freely published
propaganda of the packers, was pre-
scented by Jno. A. Edwards and unani-
mously adopted by the association.
The Greenwood County Live Stock
Association reads with great concern,
but no surprise the denunciation by
the st. Louis Commission Merchants
of the Kendr ok & Kenyon bills and
all other regulation of the packer. st.
Louis dencunced Roosevelt once in his

censured. He lives in a packer-owh-
ed exchange build ng. His pens and
his rights to operate are packer
given and not God-given. He weighs
on q packer scales, operated by
packer weigh-masters. st. Louis
seems in such haste to throw away
the rights belonging to the livestock
men of the nation that one is compell-
ed to believe the st. Louis Exchange
would kill Christ, if the packers so
ordered.
Mr.. Heinneman, Secretary of the
National Live Stock Exchange, and
from the Chicago Stock Yards, has
recently returned from Washington.
He states, in a most self-satisfied
two-column article, sugar-coated and

amazingly. During Roosevelt's time,
packing houses were placed under
governmental sanitary supervision, a
very necessary procedure. This con-
troll was vigorously opposed by pack
err, and the live stock industry alike.
Government sanitary supervision gave
American meat, at home and abroad,
both prestige and greatly increased
its sale. The packers were benefited
by that regulation. Those personal
liSsrties, the loss Of which they then
decried, as they today clamor for 9th
err liberties about to go, made millions
for the packers and their stockholders.
Mr.. Wiley's pure food regulation and
supervision made honest concerns
prosper. This Association believes
the present proposed regulation of the
packers should have been enacted into
law, shortly after the Sherman Anti
Trust Act Had such law then been
passed, Herbert Hoover's report TO
President Wilson of the strength and
magnitude and possible invincibility
Of the American packer could not have
been written. A member Of the Fed
eral Trades Commission could not
have said that he doubted greatly the
governments power to ever control
the packer.

urges the passage Of the pending leg

American Congress to ascertain which

lions and also own or control banks,
loan companies, stock yards, cotton
seed plants, and innumerable life
giving necessities. These five COM
panies certainly require regulation in
finitely more than the banks and 9th
err business of this country.
This legislation should be passed.
It is a right due the public, right
long delayed, a right that should be
obtained without revolution, without
concession and without political agi-
tation. The consuming millions Of
the world and of this nation and the
producers of this great land are en-
titled to more freedom and right to
prosperity than a one-man market,
where retail purchase prices are
gagged by corners, or storage or hun
ger! They are entitled to more than
a one-man market which buys and
stores or boards during the days OF
the fat kline, and at figures dictated
by greed. Should adequate legislation
not now be given by Congress to the
American people-the desires, the
propaganda and the cupidity Of the
five northumberland families Of this
land of equal opportunity-will out
weigh the crying rights Of one hun-
bred and ten million free born Ameri-
ran citiyens whose natal promise and
hope have been equality Of oppor-
tunity, freedom from human or n
nancial slavery, and the Joy of life.

the direction of Rev. Father Edward
Wallace of Brooklyn. N. Y, who served
with the sOth Division, brushed aside
formalities, cajoled the liveried
Waterman at the cardinals palace
and gained an audience with the
prince of the church without either
invitation or announcement.
The men were sightseeing in the
Vatican when Father Wallace pointed
out Cardinal Merry Del Vars resi-
dence.

gested a Philadelphia lad serving

They all agreed and bolstered up
their claim to call by the fact that the
cardinal had visited America, and this
would only be in the nature of a
return call from hosts of his.

on service and efficacy in business,
and explained the battery question
very thoroughly.
Mr.. True, who recently returned

Prest-o-lite service men and agents
in Boston made the first address. He
talked along the line of general SER
vice throughout the store and impress
sed upon the men the Importance of
