THE TIDINGS INTERROGATED
Reading the recent editorial appearing in the Tidings
on the condition of the livestock industry’ in Oregon, a
well known citizen hurled the following question at the
editor: “ Haven’t the butchers of Oregon heard of the
drop in the price of livestock?”
The butchers of Oregon are <in intelligent class of
men and let no day pass without giving close scrutiny to
the columns and reports carrying livestock market re­
ports, and it would be folly to assume that the retail meat
dealers of the state are so dense that they have not yet
discovered that the price of cattle tumbled nearly fifty
per cent four or five years ago.
But the point at which our interrogator was driving
is that the retail price of meat does not reflect a drop in
the price of beef on foot. There has been little or no re­
duction in the price of meat sold from the block, yet the
cost of the meat to the retailer is, speaking in the most con-
sevative manner, a fourth less than five.years ago.
1 lie heads of every household in Oregon are perplexed
with the same question that bothers our good friend in
Ashland: The farmer gets three and a half cents for. a
dry cow and a week later drops into the butcher shop to
buy a piece of beef neck for mince meat and when the
meat cutter says “ seventeen cents per pound, please,” it
is no wonder that he throws up his hands, or emits an
oath that will not sound well in print. The housewife
who used to buy neck for ten and twelve cents when
cattle were worth more than at present, are asking the
same question. Many are wondering if it is possible that
prior to the war and the extreme high price of beef butch­
ers were undercharging. It does not seem possible that
all of the butchers in Oregon would have conducted their
business at a loss for so many years. Our answer to our
interrogator is: “ Why is it?”
HARD-BOILED BANKERS BEST
Som^thei e aie who still think the banker wears horns.
M ho is the hard-boiled citizen, the man behind the thumb­
screw? The banker, they will tell you. In the light of this
illusion, consider a brief excerpt from the resolutions
adopted at the recent Atlantic City convention of the
American Bankers Association:
the conclusion is inevitably forced on the im­
partial observer that the primary need of the world, is
moral and spiritual regeneration as the essential basis for
economic recovery. Until the nations of the world are
a special kind of chimney, made from
¿pedal kind of brick, that would be
big enough to provide sufficient draft
for the many immense furnaces and
ta.l enough to prevent the smoke and
scales spoiling the atmosphere in the
'•».•rounding locality.

The flues which carry the smoke to
this big chimney form dust chambers,
in which sulphur, arsenic, and the fine
dust carried off from the fbrnaces
which still contains a little copper, are
collected. At the base of the “big
stack” there is a cottrell smoke treat­
ment plant, which extracts, by means
of electricity, all of the fine dust which
has not settled in the dust chambers,
