2 TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, JUNE FRIDAY, 22, 1906. NEEDS APPROVAL OF ROOSEVELT Cheaper in End for Packers to Bear Expense of Meat Inspection. SUSPICION MEANS LOSS Damage Done to Business by Expo sure Can Only Be Repaired by Bill Approved by Roosevelt, Whom People Trust. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 21. Regardless of whether or not the Beveridge meat Inspection amendment to the agricultural appropri ation bill is the best legislation that can be framed to cure the evils disclosed in the Chicago packing-houses, the fact re mains that no legislation will restore public confidence In this great Industry unless It beara the indorsement of Pres ident Roosevelt. The people have confi dence In the President; they know he is working purely In their Interest and is not in any way dominated by corporate interests. If he Indorses a meat inepec tion bill, the people will repose every con fidence in It, knowing it is honestly drawn to accomplish good results. If, on the other hand, Congress settles this contro versy by adopting legislation which is de nounced by the President, the packers will be the sufferers, for the people will have no faith In the alleged reforms carried out under suspicious legislation. Loss More Than Inspection Costs. There are men in Congress who honest ly believe the Beveridge amendment is faulty In many particulars, but unfortu nately for these men, the opposition to the Beveridge amendment Is led by Chair man Wadsworth, of the House agricul tural committee and by Representative Billy" Lorimer, of Chicago, both anx ious to serve the packers in this Hour of need. Because of the wrought-up condi tion of the public mind, it is unfortunate for the packers that these two men have been so pronounced In their opposition to legislation favored by the President. The defeat of the Beveridge amendment will work far greater injury to the beef packers than would Its enactment, for, while the Beveridge plan would shoulder the expense of Inspection on the packers, an annual charge of 2,000,000, the substi tution of other legislation would leave the packing industry under suspicion and the falling off in meat sales would amount to far more than 12,000,000. Some of this deficit would be made up by transferring the burden onto the stoekgrowers, but for all that the loss Jo the packers would exceed the annual cost of meat Inspec tion. Judging by statements . of representa tives of the packers, that' is, officials of the meat trust, the packers would prefer to bear the expense of Government In spection rather than have Congress en act an Inspection law that would be dis approved by the President. Unfortunate ly, Wadsworth and Lorimer took a posi tion against this sort of legislation be 'fore conferring at length with the Inter ests they serve, and in that manner made a serious tactical blunder. " The packers today see their business tottering; they find their foreign trade practically de stroyed .and they know nothing can re store normal conditions until public con fidence has been awakened. This, they admit, can best be brought about by leg islation which is heartily Indorsed by the President. Appropriations Would Be Cut. There "are arguments to be made for and against shouldering the expense of inspection on the Government. The cost of inspecting other food products is borne by the Government, it is true, but the appropriations for this purpose fluctuate and the efficiency of the inspection varies with the appropriation. When Congress is in an economical mood, the appropria tion Is cut down; when a spirit of liberal ity prevails; it is adequate. .So it would be with meat Inspection. The service would be -adequate some years, again it would be curtailed, necessitating the dis charge of Inspectors one year and the employment of new and Inexperienced men the next The action of this Con gress is not binding, on any subsequent Congress, statements of Wadsworth to the contrary notwithstanding, and no legislation could be enacted this, session which would require Congress at any sub sequent session to make any appropria tion whatever for meat inspection. Might Slip in a Joker. If Congress places the cost of inspection on the Government, it will be possible at a subsequent session for Wadsworth, Lorimer & Co. to slip a Joker into an other agricultural appropriation bill at the close of a session, cutting down or alto gether eliminating the provision for Gov ernment inspection of the packing-houses, and the people would then again be at the mercy of the beef trust. That 1s the danger of placing this expense on the Government; it leave the matter largely In the hands of the friends of the trust who hold seats In Congress. Shrewd men, by resort to' legislative trickery, could absolutely destroy the good work of the present Congress and the country would wake up to find it had been hoodwinked. President Roosevelt is aware of this fact, and It is one of the prime reasons why he insists on the Beveridge amendment. Legislation of that character is In less danger of being undermined than legis lation proposed by the House committee on agriculture. Will Investigate Small Packers. CHICAGO. June 21. Chief Sanitary In spector Hedrick yesterday detailed three inspectors to make a thorough investiga tion of the small packing plants. The truth of the claim made by the big pack ers that the little ones really were to blame for kthe meat scandal will then be tested. Particular attention will be paid to the light, air .and ventilation of these plants, as well as to the question of cleanliness. The "smaller fry" are said to have made considerabl progress in cleaning up. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is Cut tine Teeth.
