TO FIGHT THE COMBINE. and furnish more finished product to tho plants, which in view of the rea sonable prices made to Hie public, would be taxed to their utmost ca pacity, to keep pace with a growing trade. The money Invested In tho stock business would pay double dividend ono on the production of live ani mals on the range mid one on tho business transacted by the plant handling the animals, in tho retail market. It would do away with the necessity of middle men, who now handle the output of the range, be tween the grower and the buyer. It would settle the question of ex orbitant commission nml terminal yards charges. It would place the Rtookgrowor In direct touch with his markot and would place the public In direct touch with tho 'producer of the livestock. The enormous dividends now enriching the trust, would re main In circulation among the pro ducers of the range. j The Oregon Woolgrowors' Assoela- tlon should make this subject the chief topic of discussion, after tho ' strictly local Issues are disposed of. It Is the only salvation for the stock man. Co-oporntlon is the only possi ble rollof for any trust-cursed Indus- l try, and the establishment or me sys j tern of packing plants would be a l fiiroriinnor nf others, which would 111 I time settle all the vexed questions 1 The .Miles presidential boom will 1 ' now holding the Westerner's nose on not create much of a stir, hill that ! the monopolistic grindstone, trans-1 heartless slap of Miles by House-volt, very few appointments have '" made by tho various bodies authoriz ed to mime delegates."

No othur mitlonal sub ject so vitally concerns tho West as this, yet the press of Idaho says the governor cannot find men lo act as delegates to the national convention.

The scheme Is a gigantic one and is Intended to rid the country of tht : beef trust, or bring it to terms of trade which will permit tho stockman , to live ami follow his occupation. It should have the sanction of every stock association In the entire ; country, as well as the retail dealers and the public. The trust Is a curse lo all of them. It deals unjustly, alike with the man who raises beef and tho ' man who eats it. It forces down tho price of the grower's product and ;forces up the price of the consumer's meat, until tho entire population of the country Is In its grasp. It pays what it wills for tho live animals in tho great market centers, and fixes, , .arbitrarily, tho prlco of meat lo tho .retail trade. Tho trust Is paying ?12 per head less for fat cattle in the Chicago and Omaha markets today than was pal' . oi.o year ago, while the price of meat lo tho consumer has been advanced wo cunts a pound in that time.
