RIGHT MAX AT CAPITAL Chicago Man Gives Atlllioratlvc Reasons For This Ylrtv. PORTLAND, Miirch B. That the livestock interests of the United States are without competent repi?scnt:ition at Washington was the statement made ycsterilay by James E. Poole of Chicago, one .of tlio hifthest authori ties on livestock in this country. In support of this assertion, Mr. Poole gnve some interesting facts concorn- ' inp; present conditions. "Those are the very words , I used in an address before the National Livestock convention at Spokane a few days ago and, moreover, I told . the prominent men gathered there that it would bo particularly fortun ate for the livestock interests of the entire Pacific northwest if .11. N. Stan field of Oregon was nominated and elected Uniteil States senator," said Mr. Poole at the Portland hotel yes terday. "He is a practical livestock man who knows all ends of the busi ness, and in addition Is a business man at good judgment. Such a man is badly needed at Washington right now," Mr. Poole an Authority Mr. Poole arrived' in Portland yes terday from the Spokane convention and left last night for California where he will rcmait! for a few Wi'eks before returning to lm home at Chi cago. He is a newspaper man who for years has been in close touch with all phases of the livestock industry; He is on the editorial staff of the Iircedcrs' Gazette, handles all the stockyard news for the Chicago Kve- Professional Directory OSTKOPATIIIO PHYSICIAN nil.

When a Want Ad Is Working For You You'rc'making sure progress in your hunt for a buyer for that used machinery, or furniture or office appliances. People are not afraid to buy needed things because they are "second hand." The important thins; is that they are 'still good enough to give satis factory service.

He is also part owner of the Shorthorn World of Chicago. . "A man of Mr. Stanfield's experi ence," explained Mr. Poole, "at Wash ington would henefit the livestock men of the entire country. As a senator he would be in position to give execu tive officials the real facts concern. ing mc.1t production.- A business man will not be regarded as will a senator who, by virtue of his position, coin I mands .attention. Mr. Hoover would j have been in a position to have helped j the country to a much greater extent i had he been given the advice of n (senator who thoroughly understands Uhe livestock business. Ignorance Breeds Mistakes I "Lack of knowledge causes what 1 erm good-intentioned mistakes. Nick ' I.ongworth did not know wool shrinks In its preparation. Another represen tative thought that cattle died when i they had been on a train 25 hours and !we had an absurd bill restricting the i slaughtering of culves. Around Chi jcago there were 1150,000 dairy calves, ;gqod only for veal, because, the farm ;ers could not raUe them with profit, as they would never make steers.

Ads to the !quired two of three days to get thesp! iYct we would not have thnt SG-hour- hour law it was iieecswy to turn the calves out on the cars into feed lotsM and they died, 00 per cent of. "hem. Wet wo would not have that 30-hour law stopped. This law requires that j i;o animal shall be left in a car longer j than SG hours. In this case there was no one nt Washington who knew enough about the livestock business to bring about a suspension of the law, nnd as a result much food is being wasted. "The people were told not to cat 'lamb. because a lamb would become n sheep. ; There, was no official who j knew that the ranges of the Pacific j northwest were stocked to the limit I with breeding ewes nnd that if the : Iambs were not marketed the breeding stock must be sacrificed. As n result .the lamb market was broken and the feeders nf Colorado nlone are threat ened with a loss of $l,,r00,000 on their winter-fed lambs. ' i Feeder Is Heavy Looser j "Stockmen were advised to produce ifat beef nnd fat hogs.. In compliance i with this request there was heavy I feeding of, cattlo and 300 nnd 3,r0- I pound hogs were produced. Now the ; trade wants the bacon hog of 180 pounds and light cattle. As a result I the feedef has lost : and finds : that the j product he turned out at the request j of the government has not brought ; the top price on the market. ' "There can be but one result. The i livestock man is afraid of the govcrn- jment. Such is the case because the j officials do liot understand the live i stock business. The government I should demand from the packers the class of meat needed for the army and !for exportation. Let the civilian eat the rest as long as he is willing to I pay the price asked, i "Why should the people not ' cat ' lamb and mutton, which is not used in i the army? We were advised to turn !our attention to fish and fowl, with the resulVthat the sheep business suf ifercd. We must have sheep for the ! production of mutton and wool, but if the national government urges the people not to eat lamb or mutton, ! there can be hut one result. The ! market will be shattered and fewer sheep will be produced. Why not per mit the people in civilian life to con sume the mutton if they are willing to pay the price asked and stimulate j instead of ruining the industry? Let the government take thi cured pork needed for the soldires anil the civilian population cat the rest. Protection Is Needed "These instances I have cited arc onlv a few of the blunders in the exc- ! cution of an effort made with the best of intentions. The livestock Industry is one of the most important in the United States. With this war in pro gress it becomes more vital than ever, tt ipust be protected and encouraged Instead of being discouraged by impos sible and 'damaging decrees, i "I will repeat my statement made 1st the Spokane convention that there j is not a competent representative of the livestock interests nt Washington, i If there is such a representative he has not been active. I Insist that a man with the knowledge of Mr. Stan ' field as United States senator would, j because of his experience as a livc- stock man, be of invaluable aid to the i entire country at this time."
