In A system of free eOmpeti-
ton no business is so big
that a little business cannot
enter its market and take
away some Of its customers.
Milkmen, as a rule, would
rather have competition than
monopoly.
They know that a market die
vided among established, re-
sponsible companies is q
healthier state Of affairs than
q market dominated by one
concern.
OF course, it would be possible
for a long purse to gain con-
troll Of all distributive OUT
lets.
1t is possible, but it is not at
all likely.
The reason is simple enough.
With the market strongly COM
petitive, no competitor can
afford to let his service run
down.
If he had all the business, he
could not know how bad
or how good-he is.
Competition may be the death
of traders.
It is still the life of trade, as
every corporate milkman

KING TODEMAND
THOROUGH TAX
PROBE HERE

Carrying out the recommends.
ton Of the Treasury Department
report on the District tax Situa.
ton. Senator William H. King
CD of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, today
announced that he will seek a
thorough inquiry into the subject.
He said it will be his purpose
at the next meeting of the COM
mittee to have a subcommittee
appointed to cooperate with the
District Commissioners in making
a speedy but detailed study of
District taxes with a view of de-
termining what the Federal Gov.
eminent should contribute toward
District maintenance, and whether
or not local taxes should be in
creased or decreased.
Taxes Reported Low
In the Treasury report, which
was submitted to the House and
Senate District Committee chair
men Saturday over the signature
Of President Roosevelt, it was con-
tended that the District taxpay-
ers pay less per capita than the
residents of other cities of similar
size throughout the United States.
The report also recommended that
a more thorough inquiry be made
so that all the ramificationS of the
situation could be probed.
The Treasury report failed to
take into consideration the large
amount of property the Federal
Government has in this city and
on which no taxes are paid. It
also failed to go into the matter
of how much the District must
spend for police, fire and other
protection given by the District
to Federal property.
Copeland's View
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York asserted today that
these are vitality important mat
tiers which should be taken into
consideration in any attempt to
determine haW much taxes the
District residents should pay and
what share of District funds the
Federal Government should pro-
vide.
The New Yorker, a member of
the Senate District Committee
and the Senate District appropria-
lions subcommittee, said another
point which should be made plain
on behalf of the District is that
the requirements of Washington
are materially greater because it
is the Capital City. He said Con-
gress wants a Federal city here
OF which everyone in the country
can be proud, and added that for
this reason the expenditures nee
eSSary to attain this are made
larger than those of other cities.

MIDDLEWEST CUTS
DAIRY PRODUCTION
Oairymen Face Profitable
Winter, Survey Shows.

Dairy farmers and stockmen in
the Midwestern District are grad
ually shifting from dairy to beef
cattle production, it was revealed
today following completion of a sur
vey OF livestock on farms in the
Middlewest.
Farmers, who between 1920 and
1880 concentrated on milking cattle,
recently have been breeding beef
cattle sires to dairy COWS, particular
ly in the corn belt, it was stated.
The sudden change of cattle raiserS
is attributed to a more favorable
price being paid this year for beef
and hogs over dairy products.
Milking throughout the Midwest
ern District has increased sharply
for bHterfat. In the extreme West
this year due to the low price paid
male calves are being sold as veal
ers, or fed out as feeders, the survey
showed.
Although prices of milk products
are still out of proportion with cur
rent meat values, several economists
predict that dairymen can look for
ward to a more profitable winter
this year than last year. The follow
ing reasons are cited: This should
be aided by expanding consuming
power; butterfat prices are higher
in relation to feed grain prices than
they were a year ago.

MARKET FOR CANNED
MOTOR OIL EXPANDS
Production of Containers for 1898
to Be 80 Per Cent Higher.


NEW YORK. Nov. 28.-The mar
keting of motor oil in tin containers
has increased on a broad front dur
ing the past few months. T. c..
Searle, general sales manager Of
the Continental Can Co, said today.
He stated that the company's out
put of motor oil cans in 1885 will
be at least 30 per cent above that
of last year. The company is now
supplying cans to more than 100 oil
reflnerS, and all but one will show
a substantial increase in orders over
1884, Mr.. Searle stated.
This increased use has also been
due in part to the perfection of
high-speed filling machines, Mr..
Searle added. Until recently cans
could be sealed much faster than
they could be filled. 1t is now pos
Sible to fill nine cans at once and
this has stepped up the production
rate from 100 to 165 cans minute,
with 1876 minute hoped for in the
near future.

Mr. Gordon strongly advocated re-
peal. He said it is unfair thus to
tax Philippine products while Amer
lean goods enter the Philippines
duty free. The 10-year average
value of Philippine copra and COCO
nut oil, he said, amounted to s27,-
$4,000 up to 1884. In 1884 its value
fell to S10296,OOO.
This s17000,000 shrinkage, said
Mr. Gordon, corresponds with the
excise tax collected. 1t means pow
erty among large section of Fill
pinos. Whereas in 1929 they were
able to purchase more than s85,-
100000 worth of American goods.
last year they could absorb only
$4,000 900 worth. 1t is of mutual
interest. therefore. he concluded, to
repeal a tax which hurts both peo-
pies.

SOLUTION SEEN
FOR BOOTLEG
COAL PROBLEM
Opening of Mines Suggested
by Pennsylvania
Official.
Ry FRED W. PERKINS
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga solu-
ton for the bootleg coal" problem
in Pennsylvania S anthracite region
was suggested today by an official
peculiarly close to it.
He is Thomas Kennedy, secretary
treasurer of the United Mine Work
ers and Lieutenant Governor of
Pennsylvania. Both the state and
the labor organization have a vital
stake in the controversy over the
bootleg industry, which the legiti-
mate coal companies say is taking
S32,000,000 a year from them in re-
tail business.
Old Mines May Be Opened
Mr.. Kennedy said that if these
company figures are correct ut
would be more economical for them
to open some of their old mines.
even their high-cost mines. than to
allow the situation to continue"
He expressed the view that if the
10000 men said by the company to
be drawing incomes from the boot
leg industry could be given legiti-
mate employment the problem would
solve itself, and there will be no
need for the state to exercise its po-
lice power in protection of the COM
panies' property rights.
The suggestion that old mines be
opened, Mr.. kennedy said, already
has been made to the coal COM
panies by Gov. George H. Erie, to
whom the anthracite producers are
now appealing.
Miners to Hold Farley
The bootleg problem will be prom
inent when hard-coal miners hold
their tri-district convention here
Dec. 4. At that time demands will
be formulated for the collective bar
gaining that will precede the next
anthracite wage agreement. The
present one expires April of next
year.
1T is a safe assumption" said
Mr.. Kennedy, that our resolutions
will demand an equalization of work
among the colleries, to take care of
the men thrown out of jobs when
the companies adopted their policy
of centralizing operations to cut
costs
That company policy. he declared,
is the primary reason for coal boot
Logging.

both countries. But. he added, these
are in the future and the excise tax
is already in force.
The tax, amounting to 3 cents
pound, was imposed by Congress in
1884. The revenue thus collected is
to be paid into the Philippine treas
ury. But none of the money can
be used for any subsidy to the pro-
ducers Of copra, coconut oils or
allied products.
AS a result. Mr. Gordon declared,
100000 small farmers in the is
lands receive less for their product
than it costs to produce it. The re-
cent Sakdalista outbreak. costing SO
lives, occurred in two copra -produc-
ing provinces. The trouble. he
said. was Que TO bad economic con-
