Incidental with this comes the meat ques tion. The enormous prices demanded for meats have caused Investiga tions, boycotts and riots throughout the country. -.. Furniture on Easy Payments i alsteitij 8 -i By PIERRE P. CARVEN, New Jersey's1 , Meat Trust Prober. C HERE are THREE PRIME CAUSES for the present high prices of meats and Kindred products: First A MONOPOLY, which can be broken up by strict enforce ment of the law. SecondThe present METH OD OF USING COLD STOR AGE to control and keep out of the market at the will of the mo nopolist meats, poultry and eggs. Third. The TARIFF, with a duty of about fifteen dollars a head on cattle. This keeps out of the markets of this country the great supply of cattle 7 from the Argentine Republic, Canada and Mexico. 1 SOMEBODY !' ;V. r" - :.;f. if t .'r . . is going to be disappointed when the five- , acre tracts we have been offering you .are j all gone, and they are, all but two.

CO., j Foley Hotel Bid., La Grande' By DAVID RANKIN. Extensive Farmer . and Pork Producer. IF the packers say that there is a trust or combination of farmers for any purpose they don't know what they are talking about. , I don't believe that the PACK ERS are responsible for the high meat cost. They can't be making much on meat' The PRICE IS SO HIGH THAT THE PEO PLE CAN'T EAT MUCH OF IT. - CORN IS THE BASIS OF MEAT PROPUCTION. NO OTHER GRAIN, NO OTHER FEED, WILL TAKE ITS PLACE. THE AREA OF LAND THAT WILL PRODUCE CORN IS 8MALL COMPARED WITH THE WORLD'S NEED OF IT. Bjr J. M. MILLER. Former Comul Cen tral to Nr Zealand. IN London the price of beef is about 25 per cent lower than in this country. This can best be accounted for 1y the fact that in London there exists the KEENEST COMPETITION between . the packers of several countries and also that there is NO TARIFF ON IMPORTED DRESSED BEEF. rJ"MM-- " .!,.., I-- i 1 .

For one thing TUBERCULO SIS HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND IN THE ANIMAL. Our beef and pork animals in this country at this time present a very SERIOUS 'MENACE TO HU MAN HEALTH. In his habits the animal is clean, quiet, herbiv orous. He is a pachyderm in com mon with the horse, the swine, the elephant and the rhinoceros, but has not. the same characteristics. THERE ARE SOME WHO MUST CULTIVATE AN APPETITE FOR OYSTERS AND FOR MANY DIF FERENT KINDS OF FOOD. IT MAY BE THAT MANY WOULD HAVE TO GET USED TO HIPPO MEAT TO LIKE IT.

We cannot afford to live in a fool's paradise in this matter. The day of cheap meat is over and that of cheap white bread is passing.
