DO NOT WANT UCEHSING BILLS Farmers, Stockmen and Mer chants Oppose Packer Leg islation at Wasliington. 2 Representing a diversity ot Inteiv ests and including fanners, feeders, re tail butchers and produce dealers, ful ly a thousand individuals have made their way to Washington to enter their protests against the packer licensing plan now in hearing before the senate agriculture committee. Far from solving in any measure the high cost of living, the proposed legis lation if pass.'*d would be a dangerous experiment foi* everyone, is the con sensus of opinion held by these wit nesses. “We’ve had government control of railroads and telephones and tele graphs until we’re plumb worn out, and wo don’t want any more,” W. P. Carpenter, stock feeder of Tarklo, Mo., told the committee. “I’m in favor of the man who can produce the cheapest going ahead as far as he can. That’s the way to cut down the cost of liv ing.” That the packers dominated the stock markets was an idea scouted by testifying stock feeders, who said they found the stock yards places of keen competition. Taking away the packers’ refrigera tor cars was as reasonable as taking aw’ay their butcher knives, was the conviction expressed by J. P. Lynch, another feeder from Tarkio. The concern of stockmen and butch* ers who fear that hampering the pack ers will only result in disrupting the meat industry without benefit to any one, was not the sole interest displayed at the hearing. Business men ilirough- out the country are strongly against the licensing feature which would es- tal>lish a precedent for bringing gov ernment control and politics into the conduct of all manner of business. Many business organizations have expressed themselves formally, through resolutions, as against the principle of bringing business under government Interference of the kind proposed in the Kenyon and Kendrick bills. In speaking for the chamber of com merce of Moultrie, Ga., C. T. Caldwell said: “We’ve got Swift & Co. down there, and they’ve helped more than anything else to get our farmers to diversify. The live stock business needs their national distribution.” a '! Hi' / THE PACKERS AND REFRIGERATOR CARS Why We Handle United States Tires Because they’re good tires. Because we KNOW they’re good tires. Because our experience has taught us that they will satisfy^ \ v; and gratify our customers. There are United States Tires for every need of price or use. We can provide exactly the ones for your car. United States Hres are Good Tires We Know United States Tires are Good Tires. That’s why we Sell Them. FARMERS SUPPLY CO., Brevard, N. C. BROWN-PATTON CO., Pisgah Forest, N. C. Whether refrigerator cars should be owned by the railroads or by the pack ers—a point to be determined by leg islation now pending in AVashington— may seem to be a question rather re mote from the interests of the average person. But, inasmuch as these “ice boxes on wheels,” as one of the pack ers terms them, are the conveyances which bring our beefsteak to town, we may assume that we have a certain concern about them. If they have any thing to do with the price of the beef steak our concern is a deep one. It is maintained by some that these cars give the packers who now o^ them an unfair advantage over com petitors. This is stoutly denied by the packers, w^ho offer as proof the fact that they pay the same freight rates as any shipper; and they assert .that the only advantage they enjoy is in being able to get enough cars for their needs by furnishing them themselves instead of depending upon the rail* roads to do so. In this they are backed up by a report of the Interstate Com merce Commission, made after an in vestigation of all privately owned cars, to the effect that there were no unfair practices and that a radical change would adversely affect both shippers and the public. While not opposing, in principle^ railroad ownership of refrigerator cars, the packers maintain that there are not enough of these cars to go around and that the legislation in question makes no provision for instir- ing that the railroads shall fnmish them in sufficient number. On the other hand, to pool their cars and take chances of getting what happened to be available,. would seriously handi cap the distribution of their perishable meat products. The stream of ship ments from the packing plants would be blocked, which in turn would block the buying of live stock, and the in dustry, which is founded on a basis of rapid distribution, would be badly muddled. these contentions pro and con, ther<& are three parties whose Interests are at stake—the packers, their com petitors and the public. Only one of these parties could gain a possible ad vantage If the packers’, cars were taken away from them, viz, the pack ers’ competitors. The cars arc now admittedly handled on an economic and efficient basis, and no change is justified unless unfairness is definitely and absolutely proved—^which would be in absolute contradiction to the re port that the Interstate Commerce Commission has already rendered on the subject The public would pay the bill for inefficiency in the packing in- dustr;, *ud it has no desire to pay this bill in prder to help a few the pack ers’ comyetiton. , _ 18 cents a package What you pay out your good money for is cigarette satisfaction—and, my, how^- you do get it in every puff of Camels!
