the tastes OF the kitchen staff. The
delays one experiences in receiving
an order are at times due to some
personal animosity between a waiter
and the kitchen staff, and to this In
turn is due that difference in politi-
cal opinion. And the walters in turn

princely general headquarters dur

wanting to organize a little red ter

western standards he's at least a

enough for his staff.
Everywhere politics is the chief
relief from facing unsolvable prob

call upon all and sundry to lend a

We Insist ON This

There are three requirements
which Miller Tires must meet.
First, they must average greater
mileage, type for type, than any
rival tire.
We constantly prove this. Eight
machines in our factory run two
tires each under rear-tire conditions.
Each tire is run $50 miles daily by
running extra-fast.

Active buyer competition would thus
quickly develop which at last would
put cattle prices on supply-and- de-
mand basis.
Local markets for livestock would
develop and the packing business
would be pushed out to all points
where there would be enough trade to
keep an efficient packing house unit
busy. 1t is not unreasonable to sup
pose that two-thirds of the livestock:
might reach the slaughter house on
the hoof or by motor truck.
We would save not merely the
packers monopoly profits but the
great amount of national waste caus-
ed by the concentration this trust has
forced.
England, Canada and the United
States are only important countries in

slaughtering houses. Publicly owned
plants were set up in France over 100
years ago by Napoleon.

Publicly Owned Packing Plants


Between the producer of livestock
and the consumer of meats and by
products stands the packing industry.
The evidence that it is in tn hands OF
a monopoly is so conclusive that few
ever attempt denial What, can be
done about it? .An autocracy of this
kind is too great an expense for our
producers of livestock to bear.
The .Nnpartisan league advocates
public ownership because that is the
ouly way to restore an independent
market for the farmers. No amount
of regulation could keep the packing
trust from rigging the market.
When the packing houses become
publicly owned two courses of action
are open. The state might buy the
stock and market the products, or it
might do only a little of this business
and as in Europe do the slaughtarins
for private organizations at cost.
Without the enormous 'capital ex-
pense for packing plants cooperative
farmers could easily follow their
stock through the retail market On
the other hand, local butchers could
buy their meat from farmers on the
hoof or small companies could en-
gage in the wholesale meat business.

THE HAWKEYE IN BUCHANAN
- COUNTY.

The Hawkeye Highway from Mason
vile west to Winthrop is in the worst
condition at this time that it has ever
been. 1t appears that the Buchanan
County Board of Supervisors have not
paid the slightest attention to the road
all season. Deep ruts made by heavy
trucks early in the spring are keep
ing the driver Of a car guessing, and
in some places it is positively danger
GUS to drive. Buchanan county has al
ways had the name of having good
roads, but it has certainly lost that
distinction this year. For miles the
road has the appearance as though
there had not been a king drag used
all season, and little or no efforts
have been made to keep deep holes
filed up, or ruts smoothed down.
