MEAT PACKING AS \ PUBLIC UTILITY.
(ChfcaEO JOurnall

1t is not generally understood perhaps that the
bill providing for the registration, regulation and
supervision OF meat packers Just passed by the
United states Is which for many
months last year the subject of spirited con-
troversy between the proponents and the opponents
of legislation based the principle that the meat
packing industry partakes Of the character of a
public utility
The bill just passed by the senate is called the
Gronna bill. It's object is the that of the
Kenyon Kendrick bill, but the method OF control
Is different It was charged that the Kenyon
Kendrick bin virtually made the secretary OF agri-
culture the autOcratc rulersof the packing business
and that its licensing features arbitrary and
elastic involve, IN practice, government opers
alton Of the packing industry.
The Gronna bill. which superseded the measure 50
strenuousy opposed by the leading packers. sets up
a scheme OF registration Onstead Of Ilcensing) for
packers. while exempting from its operations 1--we
stock and farmers. IL establishes a commits
sion Of three members 20 SUPERVISE and the
packing industry. Ii provides for penalties in
OF violation by any packer of the rules imposed by
the commission, but the courts the commission,
will determine the question OF guilt and the amount
OF the fine.
What objections there are TO the bill as passed
should be made clear by the debate in the house
OF representatives The senate's discussion, unfor-
tunately gave the public little enlightenment. But
II is difficult TO perceive why view the
trade commission act. Il should be deemed
sary legisate specifically TO prohibit the packers
from maintaining monOpolies, restraining
merce or engaging IN unfair practices Is there
sufficient legislation already the statute books
II enforced-tO prevent monopoly and unfair COM
petition
It may may not be wise TO treat meat pack
ing as q public utility and subject il special
ula.ion. But some OF the provisions Of the Gronna
bill require explanation and perhaps amendment.

Great Britain has prohibited the importation OF
dyestuns for period OF 10 years There is more
this than appears the surface
The period while enabling England TO make
herself independent other countries in the pro-
iucton or dyestuns, will incidentally build up her
whole chemical industry for military as well as in
dustriaI purposes.
Dyestuns made from coal SO are ammuni-
ton poison gas The last is said to be the most
important product OF all in the eyes OF British
statesmen They assume that gas will be the prin-
cipal weapon in the war, and are determined t.
be ready.
II may also DE observed that those same states
men are less concerned now with battIeships than
with airshiIs Putting two and two together we may
infer that Great Britain along with the other Eu-
ropean powers. figures on doing her most effective
lighting by dropping poison gas bombs from the air.
The United States viii not be behindhand In that
game. ct least far the gas is concerned Amer
lean chemists during the late war produced a gas
far deadly than any used on the battle front
and when the war ended. our government had
enough hand Kill the entire German army.
Several hundred tons of it subsequently taken
out and sunk in the Atlantic ocean More can be
made easily enough when It is needed.
And before the world war the use Of poison gas
Was forbidden as "inhuman."

to permit next" onee

REGULATION FOR THE PACKERS.

The bill regulating the packing industry. pass
ed by the senate looks like practical joke those
who have been demanding such federal action.
This inspired by the federal trade
commission. after its inquiry into the practices &C
meat packers had shown the existence of grave
abuses. As originally prepared st would have pro-
vided a considerable amount Of regulation. As
amended before its passage, it may literally accom-
plish less than nothing. While creating livestock
commission" it abolishes the authority of the fed
eral trade commission over the packers and then
leaves them TO decide for themselves whether
they shall become subject to the authority Of the
commission.
Thus matters stand. the packers to be reg
ulated" only If they voluntarily ACCEPT such reguo
ton. What the outcome will be calls for only one
is evident why several bitter senatorial
opponents Of federal regulation acquiesced in the
final passage Of
II IS up to the house to stop such an absurd
piece Of legislation. Either the packing industry
should be subjected proper regulation by fed
eral government without any equivocation. OF else
it should be left in its present status.

FEBRUARY.


February resembles n sausage: II
Is short, but they've crowded a lot
into IL. For instance, both Wash
ingtOn and Lincoln managed TO get
born I'm this month, and St Nalcn-
tine got I'm with n day dedicated to
the sending OF love letters which are
later rad In open court at vast
expense to the sender. Sometimes
February Is not long enough so an
other day Is added. When this
happens the year * called leap year,
for the reason that all the unmarried
females of nlarriagable age and old
err leap ut any member OF slower sex
unless nc is properly chapcroncd.
So you can see that I'm addition to
all the other advantages leap year
gives tho ladies IL adds an extra day
ON which they can hunt their quarry.
This Is rank extravaganza they
don't need IT,
February was not in the Romu-
Ian calendar. II evidently came in
later with woman's rights. Besides
the Roman ladies didn't need any
Februarys. When the Roman lad
wanted "A wife ne went out d
grabbed her, as the Sabine flappers
would tell you IL you asked them.
His motto was "Nunc aut nunguam,
soc ct tuum," which translated
rather freely means: Catch 'em
young. treat EN- rough, tell 'em
nothing" Today II a young fellow
wants a wife he's the last one TO find
IL out. The glad news has already
percolated through the entire fem
mime contingent Of the parish and Is
rapidly spreading throughout the
state. I might, add. parenthetically
