This Years Meat Supply

AS OF the early part Of March, retail meat prices
IL the Chicago area, which are generally typical
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 80 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 some 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 194S.
At present there has been something of re-
versal in the trend of livestock supplies and Lrcea
are expected to level out. However, no 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, 8 pounds of veal u 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 an increase in the amount
of pork.
The American dining table will continue to carry
its share OF the good things Of life, 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
lone 70 our highways by heavy commercial We
hdcles. 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 are provided to serve the public's
interest as Wholei it reasonably follows that the
cost OF building, and maintaining them must be
hea at the level OF true economy. This involves the
limitation of axle and wheel loads ito those for
which the highways are designed The highway
user does not wish ito pay for new highways
to: replace those: destroyed by excessively heavy
loads. -. The heavy truck operator u.s. or should
be-. concerned, because NEST certainly he will be
held accountable: for whatever damage these
trucks do Il "a, = = i rTtF =;
~ . 3! - ~ = g. -
What makes this particularly important is the
tendency Of states TO legalze heavier and heavier
axle loads. Mr.. Macdonald, who is one Of the
foremost experts on the subject IS convinced that
axle loads in excess Of $4,000 pounds should never
be authorized Eet 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 leyies for the highway funds.

No more loyal group Of Ameri-
can citizens exists than the miners
themselves. 1t is sad irony these
people should suffer the brunt of
the strike. According to the AS
ISOLATED Press, they will lose
about S68 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,
