This Years Meat Supply

AS Of the early part Of March. retail meat prices
III the Chicago area, which are generally typica
OF the country as whole, were down an average
OF 20 per cent below last summers peak levels
Some popular cuts were down much more-round
steak, for instance, was being offered at 30 per
cent less than at the high point
Supply and demand did that A heavy supply
OF meat came to market, and at the same time
there was slackening in consumer buying.
The meat had to be moved and lower prices were
the inevitable result AS an interesting by-product
of the change one of the biggest meat packers
took substantial operating loss for 1913,
At present, there has been something of re-
versal in the trend of livestock supplies and Lrices
are expected to level out. However, no one need
fear a meat shortage. Last year. the average
American at 146 pounds of meat This year. it is
estimated, he will account for 145, made up of so
pounds of beef, pounds of veal, Y pounds Of
pork, and pounds of lamb and mutton. A decline
in available supplies of beef, veal lamb and NUT
ton will be made up by increase in the amount
of pork. NJ
The American dining table will continue to carry
it's share Of the good things Of lfe and meat is
one Of them The price must pay, when mea-
sured against the average increase in dollar in
come, will be fair and reasonable.

Destroying The Highways

Every motOrist has personally seen the damage
done 70 our highways by heavy commercial We
hlcles. lie has also personally paid part Of the
bill for maintenance and repairs through higher
taxes than would have otherwise been necessary
Thomas H. Macdonald, Commissioner Of Public
Roads recently said, eff we accept the principle
that highways provided to serve the public's
interest as whole, it reasonably follows that the
cost or building and maintaining them must be
held at the level of true economy This involves the
limitation of axle and wheel loads to those for
which the highways designed The highway
user does not wish to pay for new highways
to replace those destroyed by excessively heavy
loads The heavy truck operator is, or should
be, concerned, because most certainly he will be
held accountable for whatever damage these
trucks do :"
What makes this particularly important is the
tendency of states to legalize heavier and heavier
axle loads. Mr. Macdonald, who is one of the
foremost experts the subject, is convinced that
axle loads in excess Of $4,000 pounds should never
be authorized Ket there has been an alarming
Increase in the number of vehicles in use with
heavier loads ranging up to the terrific figure of
$4,000 pounds You don't need an engineer to ex-
plain to you what carriers of that weight do when
they pound over our roads.
There has been remarkable growth in the
number and size of commercial trucks using public
highways Measures which will protect the roads
from excessive deterioration under such traffic
must be adopted TO protect all taxpayers from even
heavier leves for the highway. funds.

At a time when many people talk almost glibly
Of the possibility of third world war, it is wise
to attempt to the cost of the last conflict.
Nothing resembling an exact accounting can be
made-there are too many imponderables and in
tangibles, which permit of only informed guess.
One Of the most thoughtful efforts to arrive at the
cost Of World War II appears in Harper's Maya
zine for April 1t is written by G. Hartley Glattan,
who has long been a student of the economic i'm
plications Of war.
Mr.. Grattan concludes that about 900
members OF armed forces lost their lives The last
war was unique in that civilians suffered heavier
mortality than did men in uniform The casualties
from bombing; the planned determination Of whole
categorles of civilians; the terrible death rate
among slave laborers; the losses in underground
movements-these and other causes probably were
responsible for 100000 DEATHS Thus the total
human cost of the was 4O000060.
TO total the material cost brings the analyst to
extremely difficult ground. The most obvious and
easlly-unearthed cost is the money actually spent
Tor military purposes by victor and vanquished.
This IS recorded in national budgets 1t came to
more than trillion dollars-$1 III OO0 900, 900.

alarming. If any one individual
were powerful enough to dictate
governmental appointments with
threats of strikes, a new era Of
demagogues would indeed be at
hand. Such power would be po-
tentially disastrous.
Protect THE WEAPON Of in-
Workers : discriminate strikes
is one which labor
leaders alone control. Neither
government nor management pos
sess such a power. The rank
and file of labor, too because of
their organization, are subject to
the orders Of those leaders. Many
labor leaders recognize this situa-
ton and act in a farsighted man
ner. However, the selfish actions
of any one leader casts unfavor-
able reflections on the whole
movement. - ~
No more loyal group of Ameri-
can citizens exists than the miners
themselves. It is sad irony these
people should suffer the brunt Of
the strike. According to the AS
ISOLATED Press, they will lose
about 500 million in wages during
the two weeks layoff. This means
$68 million in food, clothing, and
other essentials must be forfeited
to the whims Of one leader who
was elected by workers to safe
guard their interests.
This points up sharply the need !
for adequate labor legislation.
Without violating the rights Of |
labor, we must draw clearly the !
line where those rights end and !
national responsibility begins. The
average worker has everything TO .
gain in such legislation. Labor
must be accorded complete pro.
lection from responsibility -
found within its own leadership,
or elsewhere.

cover the cost of direct destruction
But this is not ALL There is another economic
cost which is the most difficult yet to estimate.
That cost is found in the depletion of natural re-
sources, the disorganization of economic systems,
the value of labor and material seized and cartnd
off by invaders, and ON. Mr. Grattan places this
cost $651,OOOOO 900. Adding all the costs up,
We have final, incredible figure of four trilliol
dollars! And this, as he says leaves out the moral
cost Of war, which is beyond statitics.
World War II was seven times as destructive ss
World War l. If World War III should come with
the atom bomb there is every reason to believe
that the cost would be beyond calculation and civ
ilization wiped out.
Here is why the best minds in the world are
now devoted to the task of maintaining the peace.
