PROTECTING THE WEST
Wr.SThli.V tiit-ii have ut l is! twn uroiwd to the necessity fur
oreseutititf a united fnnit to southern iisjarfssion to seeure their
just share nf the jiropuseii hundred million dollar impropriation for
preparing; publie hinds for 1 1n- reception of soldiers and sailors.
Kvtr nitice the Wilson administration was inducted, the south hns
Wn itcciintf morn than its portion of all pithlie moneys. Tliere
is no denying this nssertion for the records show that whenever
money was to be expended the south was in the .saddle ever ready
to tfuib all that could hv had regardless of any latent merit that
may have heen nttached to their offering. They have had a ma-
lority of the military cantonments on the theorv that the southern
ilimatc was more euuahlc and the temperature more conduciv
to outdoor trainiiiK. .Swamp lands and malarial sections have been
unloaded ou the government for any purpose that would bring in
revenue to wily promoters who knew they had the backing of the
solid south and would not have to strain at the truth to secure a
hearing and possible appropriation. Shipyards were located where
the old river and harbor pork bnr'l subsidies were denied through
superior pressure of war exigencies. The ternal eroy of money,
money and more money was the tocsin sounded all through the
south from the banks of the Kio Grande to the Mississippi river
while more advantageous locations in the west and north were
slighted. Not satisfied with the plethora of puhlie funds lavished
during the war, the south is at the same old game by urging con
irress to engage in a project for reclaiming swamp lands that can
i.ot be made habitable for another generation. The pressure for
plunder has not relaxed and it is commendable that the west has
arranged to get together movement by which the arid country will
have a square deal in the reclamation projects under eonsideration.
You have not heard anything of any of the British colonies offer
ing swamp lands to the returning soldier They are too practical
and have too little money to squander on any such schemes. These
countries are after results which they appear to be getting at the
expense of the t'nited States which has manifested singular re
luctance about engaging in any economic development of the mil
lions, of acres lying close to the principal markets and along main
lines of railroads. These can be turned quickly into income proper
ties and the western men have become aroused to the necessity for
insisting that every dollar of the conservation and reclamation
fund be disbursed in projects likely to yield the most adequate
returns. Western m.-n contend rightfully that the returned heroes
should not be handicapped fn their efforts to establish themselves
themselves under the most eb-vating conditions which are clearly
set forth iu resolutions adopted this week at the conference of
western empire builders in Salt Lake. The states represented in
he movement arc Nevada, T'lah, Montana. California, Arizona.
Wyoming and New Mexico. These states have abundant acreage to
furnish, homes for a million farmers and with the assistance of the
government there is no reason why there should not ensue a west
ward movement that will repay the small amount asked for land
and water development. Every state is willing to do its duty to
ward the young soldiers by appropriating supplementary funds to
assist in colonizing these. The next move is for the Nevada legis
lature to demonstrate that it is ready to do tits share in making
ettraetive arid wastes which arc as fertile as any lands on OodV
footstool and, by interesting soldiers and sailors, destroy the asper
won that Nevada is not suitable for agricultural development.
FIGHTING THE MEAT TRUST '
TMIK National I livestock association has thrown down the gaunt
x et to the packers whose recent statements demonstrate that
they were the chief . profiteers of the war. For four venrs the beef
growers and sheep men have been urged to greater efforts to in
crease the production of meats and wool which, according to tin
."tatements of President Pryor, have reached an acute stage where
the superstructure raised by war demands is growing so top henvy
that it is likely to topple over and collapse utterly. The live stock
men have been forced to accept what they were offered while the
f.ockers fixed prices to suit their own sordid aims. With millions
more hogs of the four-footed variety reported by the animal bureau
census is it a paradoxical fact that the price of bacon and ham
shows no evidence of relaxing its tension. Home consumption has
been reduced to a minimum until rhe American nation has almost
become a nation of vegetarians. The markets are turning away fat
I ogs with the explanation that there are too many for the demand.
Still there is no relaxation of the climbing tendencies and it is
obvious that some other influence of an artificial nature is bolster
ing up prices.
Millions for our soldiers but not a cent for the enemy is the
ulogan that the president has aroused through his demand for a
hundred million for distribution in Europe. AVhen our boys are
restored to their wage-earning eapieities and absorbed by our in
dustries there will be time enough to consider the wants of others.
With the British dominions and Ireland claiming economic and
political independence it begins to look as though the peace con
gress would have a perfect Dounyhrook fair on its hands.
The old adage that charity begins a home finds a suitable
occasion for exercise just now.
Portugal shows a reversion to type through revival of the
monarchy. As ft republic that country never was a howling success
and the iron hand of royalty may bring order out of chaos.

Nothing equals the unmitigated gall of the Ilun in replying to
he terms f the revised armistice that, if he is compelled to restore
r.ll the farm implements and machinery stolen during the War
lrom unoffending allies he will not have enough left to cultivate
his own lauds.
Election returns in Germany are coming in about as fast as
those of California when that state was the pivotal commonwealth
in the election of Wilson to the presidency.

These newspaper quotations
represent live cattle prices in
Chicago on December 30th, 1918.
The list shows price ranges
on nine general classified groups
with a spread of $13.85 per cwt.
the lowest at $6.50 and the
highest at $20.35.
Why this variation in price?
Because the meat from differ
ent animals varies greatly in
quality and weight.
Although the quotations
shown are in nine divisions,
Swift & Company grades cattle
into 34 general classes, and each
class into a variety of weights
and qualities.
As a result of these differences in
cattle prices,, (due to differences in
weights and meat qualities), there is a
range of 15 cents in Swift & Com
pany's selling prices of beef carcasses.
