THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. 4 fp I 1 11 PACKERS (Continued from page 1) not able to pine inspector in all estab lishments desiring that. The pre--iit law prohibits the shipment of uninspected meat to foreign countries, but there is no provision forbidding the shipment of uninspected meat in interstate com merce and thus the aenue'of interstate mere and thus the avenues of interstate aed or spoiled meats. If, as has been alleged on seemingly good authority, further evils exist, such as the improper use of chemicals and dyes, the Govern ment lacks power to remedy them. A law is needed which will enable the in spectors of the general Govrnmnt to in junoet and supervise from the hoof to the can the preparation of meat food prod- i wet. The evil seem to oe mucn less in the sale of dressed carcase than in the sale of canned and other prepared prod uct. In my judgment the expense of the inspection should be paid by a fee levied on each animal slaughtered. If thU is not done, the whole purpose of the law can t any time be defeated through an in sufficient appropriation, and whenever there wa no particular interest in the subject it would not be only easy but natural thus to make the appropriation insufficient. If it were not for this con sideration I should faror the Govern ment paying for5 it. The alarm expressed in certain quar ters concerning this feature should be allayed by a realization of the act that in no case, under such a law, will the cost of inspection exceed 8 cents per head. I call special attention to the fact that GORMAN DIES (Continued from page 1) The most notable contest of his Con gressional career and one which attract ed to him wider attention than any thing else wa when he led the Senate minority in 1SD0-91 and defeated the federal elections bill. To his sagacious leadership and adroit management his i party friend' attributed the ilcteat ot the measure which was o obnoxious to the South. When the democrat had control of the Senate, Gorman was the recognised leader of that body. It wa at that time that the tariff bill of 1S!4 was passed and although the Maryland senator wa not member of the finance committee he had so much to do with shaping the matter that hi name is often given to it, and, iu fact, it is frequently called the. Wilson-Gorman tariff. It was during Cleveland's last admin istration that a break occurred between the democratic president and the leader of the party in the Senate. In a speech which always will be remembered by those who heard it, Senator Gorman se verelv arraigned the President. To this opposition the defeat of Senator Gorman a few years later is attributed, although hi Kirtv lost Maryland in the silver campaign. As soon as the democrats regained control of the state he was at 41.:., !a m1 im in a rv unit t)tlf thp investigation is still unfinished.

Grave alle gations are made in reference to the abuses of this natune. Let me repeat that under the present law there practically is no method of stopping these abuses if they should be discovered to exist. Legislation is needed in order to prevent the possibility of all abuses in the future. If no legislation is passed, then the excellent results ac complished by the work of this special committee will endure only so long as the memory of the commission' work is fresh and recrudescence of the abuses is absolutely certain. I urge the immedi ate .enactment into law of provisions which will enable the Department of Agrueulture adequately to inspect the meat and meat food products entering into interstate commerce and to super rise the methods of preparing the same, and to prescribe the sanitary conditions under which the work shall be performed. L therefore, commend to your favorable consideration and urge the enactment of substantially the provisions known as Senate amendment Xo. 29 to act mak ing appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, as passed by the Senate, this amendment being commonly known as the Beveridge amendment. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The White House, June 4, 1906. London Don't Like It. LONDON, June 4. Roosevelt's mes- places that were equal to those he had held after long continuous service. Senator Gorman was vigorously op posed to the acquisition of the Philip pines, and fought the ratification Of the Paris treaty with all the force he pos sessed. Knowing that strong pressure was being exerted on democrats who were standing with him, he urged an early vote, which friends of the treaty held back until the necessary two-thirds of the Senators were secured. Condemning extravagance in public expenditure, Seuator Gorman's pleas for economy voiced the views of his party that less money should be spent for building ships and more for river and harbor improvements. Packers Make Reply. . CHICAGO, June 4. Eight big packing houses in Chicago issued a statement tonight replying to the charges in the Neill-Revnolds report and President Roosevelt's message to Congress in which they declare the plants are clean and jnethods of manufacture satisfactory, the products wholesome and that the in vestigators of every civilized nation are satisfied with their investigation.
