If the farmer cannot get enough for his live stock," he
raises less, and the packer gets less raw material.
If the consumer has to pay too much for his meat, he '
eats less of it, arid the packer finds his market decreased.
. The packer wants the producer to get enough to make
live-stock raising profitable, and he wants the price of meat
so low that everyone will eat it. . V
But all he can do, and what he would have to do in any
case to tay in business, is to keep down the cost of pro
cessing the farmer's stock into meat.so that the consumer
pays for the meal and by-products only a little more than
the farmer gets for his animals. ' .
. For example, last year Swift & Company paid for its
cattle about 90 per cent of what it got for meat and
by-products (such as hides, tallow, oils, etc.) r -
If cahle fijpm the farm were turned miraculously injo meat in the
hands, of retailers (without going through" the expense of dressing,
shipping and marketing), the farmer would get only about 14 cents
per pound more for his cattle, or consumers would pay only about
ZY4 cents per pound less for their beef 1 - T
Out of this cent or twp per pound, Swift & Company pays for the
operation of extensive plants, pays freight "on meats, operates refriger
ator cars, maintains branch houses, and in most cases, delivers, to
retailers aH'over. the United States. The profit amounts to only a
traction or a cent, ana a part or this profit goes' to build more plants,
to give better service, and to increase the company's usefulness to the
country; - .

The public service commission is in
receipt of a letter from John Barton
Payne, general counsel for the railroad
administration, stating that the admin
istration is ready to issue to members
of the public service commissions of
the various states free passes over tht
railroads under government control, if
the commission wish to accept the
passes. - . -
Chairman Miller of the Oregon com
mission has rcpliod that this commis
sion cannot accept free passes, and he
does not think it would be just evn
if the commission could.
"Please bo advised," say Chairman
Miller in his reply, "that the statutes
of Oregon prohibit the issuance or use
of free transportation within this state
excepting to certain associations and
individuals mentioned therein. Free
transportation ig not permitted to be
given to or used by this commission.
"Wo are of the opinion that this is
a wise provision of law. This commis
sion .as jurisdiction not only over rail
roads but over all other public utilities
in the state of Oregon, and we believe
it manifestly unfair that the railroads
should be obliged to carry members or
employes of this commission free whon
engaged in the transaction of other
utility work. We are of the opinion that
every individual nr organization sJiould
get just what it pays for and pay for
just what it gets. No one should got
something for nothing. Even though
the lawg of this state permitted the use
of free transportation we could not
conscientiously accept the same."
