HOGS ON THE HOOP
AT 1913 PRICES
1OM cents q Lib. According to One Big
Pncking Houses Figures

Chicago. Dec. 2. (By the Associated
Press.)-Hogs on tho hoof have returned
to what Is practically theif 1918 pre-war
price, Judging from figures obtained to-
day from one Of the big five" packers.
Pork and pork products, at wholesale, are
on Their way toward thet same level. the
monthly report of the Institutes Of AM
erican Meat Packers indicates and have
reached the scale prevailing In April 1917
when the United States entered the war.
Beef also is on the downward path. the
wholesale price Of carcass beef having
dropped seventeen per cent since Septen-
Der L. according to the institutes figures.
The biggest drop recorded. however. is
in live hogs. The packing house figures
chow pork on the hoof brought eight
cents n pound In November. 1913. During
the wsr the farmer was virtually guaran-
teed a minimum average OF 171-2 cents.
IN july 1919. the price reached q cents
a pound. To-day hogs are back around
1o,I-2 cents.
Retail pricos. however, have not kept
pace with tho falling wholesale market.
tie lacking house official said, but he
declined to DO quoted directly on tho
ground that retailers might boycott his
company.
Quotations from two retail dealers. one
whose store Is classed as q high price es-
Enlistment and the other as cut ratio
market, show wide divergence in prices,
partly due, however, both said. to a DIFF
fernce in the grade Of meat handled.
The bulletin of the Meat Packers Insti-
tute for the month of November says
that during that period The wholesale
price of pork loins declined q par cent.
making n total drop OF 45 per cent since
October /. Other declines on November
q, as compared with October 1 of this
year show: Smoked hanls 80 per cent
fancy breakfast bacon 10 per cent stand
ard bacon IS per cent: fresh skinned
shoulders 30 per cent, and lard ten per
cent.
Explaining willie the wholesale price has
failed to fail as fast as the livestock
quotations, m Official of one of the pack
ing houses said:
There are two features of the compare
tive price situation that should be borne
in mind One is tho price of by-products.
the other the cost of labor. The aver
az. consumer naturally thinks OF meat
animals only as they affect his table.
lie sees hat the price of hogs has dropped
and he thinks, Of course. that meat should
follow =. once
only about 10 per cent of the live hog
il meat. The other "a per cent consists
Of waste and by-products which just now
have little value. Also in the carcass
there are parts that must be sold for
low prices. The entire carcass does not
bring pork loin or fancy smoked ham
prices, for example.
Labor is now receiving much greater
rewards than it did in 1913. The total in
crease of plant wages has been more
than ITO per cent"

INvADES STATES RIGHTS

I'm operation, such proposition in
vades our State Constitutions in very
remarkable degree. AS States, We have
lost the power of police regulation and
control. We have conferred power of
taxation on the federal government which
may destroy any state government.
Instead OF the plan founded by the
fathers, or government coming up from
the people we have started government
downward to the people from above.
"In times Of war It is necessary and
proper that power be centralized in the
federal government. 1t was organized for
"er and We return to peace we should
return to pea IA An all activities,
which in war times have been conducted
by the federal government for war pur-
poses, should cease and the power tenn
porarily granted be promptly relin-
pushed.
TENDENCY TO CENTRALIZE
"Unfortuntely. however. there seems to
be a strong current tending towards CEN
tralization of more power and this ten
dency unless checked by the people may
reach such proportions that 1t will be
impossible to stop 1t.
whichever of the two great political
parties may happen to be In power makes

The Inquiry Side-tracked.

There was held in the courthouse
Thursday night a meeting of citi-
Zens. adjourned from Tuesday
night, to hear the report Of the
committee charged with the inquiry
into the complaint that Sam Hughes
a bricklayer, had been beaten by
Policemen when under arrest. This
ease has provoked considerable
comment, and has led to several in
dignation meetings. This agitation
arose over the alleged beating of
white man named Hughes by the
Eolice when under arrest. Who
did the beating has not been dis
closed. It would seem singular that
Hughes could not identify the Of
ficer or officers whom he states
did beat him.
This fact is positive, that no Of
ficer has the right to mistreat q
prisoner or one under arrest. The
law is sufficient to safeguard with
some protection every being, even
the vilest of offenders. when held
under arrest. The officer who
would mistreat a prisoner is amen
able to punishment.
1t now devolves on the man beat
en- to act within his right in the
law. He should have no hesita-
ton in appearing before the dis !,
frict attorney and give the infor- !
maiion that would lead to the ar
rest Of the officer who beat him. |
When arrested, the offenders will
have to face the trial judge and
hen the whole public would know.
To have sidetracked this proceed
ngs to the grand jury will not tend
o increase all due respect for law.
