D. ‘Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers DECREASED WEIGHT OF FRENCH CATTLE Before the war the average dressed, weight of slaughtered cattle in France was. from-770 to 880 pounds, whereas today it hardly exceeds 550 to 570 pounds. This fact makes the depletion of cattle in France, in fact in all Europe, much greater than compari- sons with numbers before the war would indicate. “American dairymen and stock raisers that can hang on in spite . of the packing trust, grain gambling and other factors that threaten a depletion of our own herds,- will probably find a splendid market in Europe after the war.: All Europe will ‘need good cattle to start over again and for a long time it will be very dependent on us for meat and dairy products. By a successful fight ‘‘now on the exploiters and by fighting for retention of railroads and shipping under ‘government: ‘ownership - and operation, these farmers can expect a prosperous future, ' et o B From OFFICIAL REPORTS DAIRY PRODUCTS FOR ARMY AND NAVY The agricultural advisory commit- tee of 25, recently selected by Secre- tary of Agriculture Houston, is on record as favoring the purchase of dairy products by the army and navy. Butter not only tastes better and has more food value than.the camouflage oleomargarine of the packing trust, especially for our soldiers and sailors who come from the farm, but the wider use of butter would encourage diversified farming and thus add to our crops. Maximum use of dairy products is intelligent war conserva- tion. - All dairymen should note this step and if possible make a noise at Washington to support the committee. . EXCESS PROFIT TAXES The latest report of the bureau of internal revenue shows that $3,671,- 918,286.91 has been collected for the last year on income and excess profit taxes. Although the bureau does_not give the total of the war profits on which these taxes were based, this huge sum collected on our low rate of taxation would indicate that the ex- cess profits for the year 1918 must have been approximately eight bil- lion dollars. ; The report also indicates where the profits on the nation’s industry. go. The second New York district, in which is located the Wall street sec- tion, paid in $414,608,907.24 for in- come and excess profit taxes; where- as the states of North Dakota and South Dakota together paid only $4,307,828.10. Minnesota’s share was $68,218,134.48. : SWATS RENT PROFITEERS A. M. Taylor of the Emergency Fleet corporation recently addressed the following letter to the mayor of Wilmington, Del.: “We are advised that a large num- ber of employes engaged in essential government work in Wilmington ship- yards and elsewhere in Wilmington, have been notified by their landlords to move out of their homes on ‘a set date unless they agree to the payment thereafter of grossly exor- bitant, increased rentals which are unjustifiable. If this information be correct, please notify all shipyard employes in Wilmington that the Emergency Fleet corporation will not permit them to be evicted from ®their homes under such conditions and that any landlord who attempts to profiteer at the expense of a shipyard employe will be dealt with summarily by the government.” This is a good begin- ning on what is probably the nastiest form of war prefiteering, and the wel- fare of the country demands that it spread quickly to the rest of the United States. END MINIMUM RATE ON MILK Shippers of milk and cream throughout the country will be ve- lieved of the minimum charge of 50 cents. on each shipment, established June 25 by the railroad administration when a general increase of 25 per cent in rates went into effect. The step was taken after the food administra- tion had received many protests from the dairymen and dairymen’s organ- izations. -Although the minimum is abolished, the - general increase in rates on milk will stand. Perhaps more protests - against this and’ the - wasteful ‘system of milk distribution would induce the food administration to take: further steps.. The federal child welfare bureau might take a ’hand too, because it:is conducting a- campaign to save 100,000 babies and ‘because cheaper milk in the city home would:save more babies than carloads - of T ST TR T M A A B e e e B T T T £ T S e S b e e e SR e b e P R T
