THE PACKERS AND
REFRIGERATOR CARS
=

Whether refrigerator cars should be
owned by the railroads or by the pack.
ers-a point to be determined by leg
1slation now pending in Washington
may seem to be question rather re.
mote from the interests of the average
person. But, inasmuch as these .'ice
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 certain
concern about them. If they have any,
thing to do with the price of the beef.
steak our concern is a deep one.
1t is maintained by some that these
cars give the packers who now own
theiL 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 report Of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission, made after an in
vcstigation Of all privately owned
cars, to the effect that there were no
unfair practices aud that a radical
change would adversely affect both
shippers and the public.
While not opposing. in principle.
90 ct
cars, the packers maintain that there
are not enough OF these cars to 90
around and that the legislation in
question makes no provision for insur-
ing that the railroads shall furnish
them in sufficient number. On the
other hand, to pool their cars and take
chances Of getting what happened to
be available, would seriously handi-
cap the distribution of their perishable
meat products. The stream of shin
ments from the packing plants would
be blocked, which in turn would block
the buying of live stock, and the in
dustry, which is founded on basis of
rapid distribution, would be badly
muddled.
In these contentious pro and con,
there are three parties whose interests
are at stake--the packers, their CON-
petitors and the public. Only one of
these parties could gain a possible adj
vantage if the packers, cars were
taken away from them, viz, the pack.
ers' competitors. The cars are now
admittedly handled on an economic
and efficient basis, and no change is
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

DO NOT Want
LICENSING BILLS
Farmers, Stockmen and Mer'
chants Oppose Packer Leg
isIation at Washington.

Representing a diversity OF inter-
ests and including farmers, feeders re-
tail butchers and produce dealers, lui-
ly thousand individuals have maze
their way to Washington to enter 'heir
protests against the packer licensing
plan now in hearing before the senate
agriculture committee.
Far from solving in any measure the
high cost of living, the proposed iegis-
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. I.
Carpenter, stock feeder Of Tarkio, MO-.
told the committee. I'm 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,
onotbor fooHor from To rkiO
The concern Of stockmen and butch
ers who fear that hampering the pack
ers will only result in disrupting the
meat industry without benefit to any
one, was not the sole interest displayed
at the hearing. Business men through
out the country are strongly against
the licensing feature which would es-
tablish 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 Moultrie, Ga, c. Il. 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"

Wooing by Women Is
Called Indecent by
British Psychologist

London. Feb. 21.-Woman as the
wooer, using methods that will
shock present false standards in the
British Isles, is forseen as a logical,
evolutionary development by DR..
Alfred T. Schofield, prominent
London physician and psychologist.
"Once the British woman's eco
nomic position is assured" DR..
Schofield declared, "she will prob
ably select her mate in a way that
would today be considered posi-
lively indecent, but, seeing she is
the mother of the resulting race,
il seems only right that she should
do So
DR.. Schofield had in mind the
prevailing double-standard of NOR
atty accepted generally like tea
drinking or any other custom. which
gives the man unusual liberties
This has long prevailed because of

100 TRUCKS IN.
CARAVAN TO
MAKE TEST OF
RELIABILITY
3,0O0-MiIe auto Hike" Con-
Quoted by The Bee to
Be Biggest Ever
Held.

Driving a caravan of from so to
100 trucks over a route OF from
ZOO miles to 5000 miles in Amer
ica's great money belt, over the
highways of seven states of the
union, is a proposition requiring a
master hand at the helm
The First National Motor Truck
Reliability contest starting at Oma-
ha next June and finishing in Omaha
a month later is contest the like
of which has never been known be-
fore.
Work OF preparing for this great
run Of motor-driven business wag-
ons is already we'll under way,
Charles P. Root. general manager
of the event, whose appointment re-
ceived the full approval of the con-
test board OF the American Auto
mobile association when sanction
was issued for this, the first contest
of national character ever run, has
had experience beyond anything
known to any other man in the mo-
tor car field.
Conducted Many Events.
Mr.. Root has had general charge
of several events of like character,
but of local rating. Success of the
motor truck reliability tour out Of
Chicago in 1911 in which more than
50 motor trucks took part quite
naturally called attention to Mr..
Root when 4 general manager was
sought for the Omaha event.
The Bee Publishing company, in
underwriting the contest and in Of
fering the Omaha Bee trophy for
the main competition sought the
services of the Chicago man and
felt we'll pleased when he accepted.
The motor truck contests out of
Chicago many years ago, including
the Milwaukee and return, and the
Detroit and return events, drew
worldwide attention to the COM
mercial vehicle. Mr. Root was ac-
tive in the management of these,
and the fact that they went through
without hitch from start to finish,
is evidence that with experience of
years since that time, the first ma
tionaf contest will do likewise.
Expect 100 Trucks.
There is every indication that the
entry list will be much larger than
any ever known before. Wise men
of the motor truck fraternity say
that with the entry list of so motor
trucks in 1911 to go by the coming
national contest should have sat
least 100 trucks in line as the num-
Der Of manufacturers in the field to-
day is many times the number active
then.
Farmers are now using trucks, not
decrying them as was the case in
1911, and every manufacturer of mo-
tor trucks sees his great sales field
among the farmers of America, and
in particular among the farmers of
the great money belt district in
which the coming contest is to be
run.

Common Occurrence Soon.
If the prediction of Dr. Frederick
H.. Millener of Omaha, wireless
telephone expert and formerly in
charge of all wireless telephone
ground experiments of the United
States army, comes true, the fore
going dialogue, carried on by the
radio" telephone system. will be
common occurrence in the lives of
Omaha business men.
1T sounds like Jules Verne
tale" admitted DR.. Millener, "but
science will uphold my claim that
within short time the wireless tele-
phone will furnish a medium which
will enable anyone in Omaha to
communicate with trains, ships at
sea, airships or even foreign coun-
tries.
II suppose when Columbus de
clared the world was round and
Fulton said a boat could be run
with steam, their ideas appeared as
absurd and that the incredulous
laughed as heartily as they will
laugh at the idea of talking to some
one on a moving train by wireless
telephone"
DR.. Millener produced a stack OF
photographs showing the wireless
telephone in various stages of its
advancement. and spread them out
for inspection on the table in the
living room of his apartment of the
Hamilton.
His conversation was filled with
such terms as "oscillators, alter
nators, arcs, high frequency gener-
ators" and other confusing tech
nical names, but through it all he
maintained firmly that the wireless
telephone was no longer an expert
ment, but a-practical instrument.
Fort Omaha Calls Up.
Even as he was emphasizing this
his telephone rang and Fort Oma-
ha officer informed him that six
wireless telephones of the most ad-
vanced type had arrived and that
more were on the way.
