WASIIINtiTON", Jan. 21. -Not a
single hlg hill, npproprlnllon or leg

both senalo und house or represen

nnd the end of Ibis congress Is only
rifty oiio duyn ago. If President Wil

therefore, as his critics In congress
contended he should, to affix his sig

The house lo (late bus pnr.iWMl only

and Is far from enactment.

Is lo criticise the president and vari

Congress Is getting hack Into the
ruts from which thn stress or war
lima legislation had pulled It. Time
wus In 1817 when a bill could actual
ly bo rut-lied 'thru In two or three
days. The scmito has been known to
let an appropriation bill puss In those
days upon a mere reading. Appro
priations Uicn-wero counted in bil
lions. Now that l hey huvo been re
duced lo millions, or even thousand,
congressmen discuss them at much
length, or give Die bulk ot their tlmo
lu illsviisHlng extrnueniis-iiintters.
A sample ot Ihu tlmo-waslliig hab
it Is shown hy the sennto Judiciary
siih-rommliloo originally created to
Investigate brewery Interests and
(ierinaii propaganda lu tho purchase
ot newspapers. It spent several ilnys
bearing testimony on New York pol
itics and murder trials, which will
make, It Is estimated, nt least 1000
printed pages!
Tho sennto, running out of any

bills not yet aclod on include the
navy, llio nrmy, legislative, executive
and Judicial, military ncadomy, rivers
and harbors, sundry civil, agricul
ture, fortifications, Indian, District

Mono of tho legislative bills has

12 per cent Interest, at tho end of
which tlmo Hie city Is given a deed lo
ull properties not so redeemed. Then

vertised tor salo but slnco that time
85 owners paid up, a number in the

Tho sale took place theoretically
at tho foot ot tho front city ball

conditions Miss Haewell anil her as
slstant, Mrs. Van Cornish, stood In
sldo tho tiro department room nea
the stairs. Tho sale outwardly at

only lookers-on today were the fire

by the auctioneer the owner paid off
what was duo on It.
There being no other blddors to

Swift & Company's
1918 Earnings
How They Affected You
During the twelve months ended Nov. 2,
1918 (its fiscal year), Swift & Company
transacted the largest volume of business on
the smallest margin of profit in its history.
Profits of the meat business under regulations of
tho United States Food Administration were limited
to a maximum of 9 per cent on capital employed but
not to exceed 24 cents, per dollar of sales.
Swift & Company in the regulated departments
earned 7.57 per cent on capital employed and 2.04 cents
per dollar of sales, out of which had to be paid interest
on borrowed money and taxes. Here is how these
earnings affect you.
Live-Stock Raiser
.. Swift & Company killed 14,948,000 head
of livestock, which weighed alive,
4,971,500,000 pounds.
Swift & Company made a profit of only a
fraction of a cent per pound liveweight.
Consumer
The sales of our meat departments were
, 4,012,579,000 pounds on which our earn
ings were less than i cent per pound.
The per capita consumption of meat in the United
States is given as 170 pounds. If a consumer purchased
only Swift. & Company's products, he would contribute
only about 78 cents a year, or Yz cents a week as
profit to the company.
