Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers come to a conclusive test. Progres- sives in both houses have .been suc- cessful in their fight to get hearings on the identical XKenyon-Anderson bills for packer licensing and regula- tion, one of the most fundamental of the “trust-busting” bills, and this measure will be fought out to definite victory or defeat within the next few weeks. The Kenyon bill is the sword which congress has ready to hand if there is any real desire on its part to cut the root causes of unrest. It has aroused a storm of indorsement from- all sections of the country, and an even greater storm of violent pro- test, voiced through one of the most’ comprehensive campaigns of propa- ganda the country has ever seen, from those who rightly see in the bill the undermining of special privilege. The chances for passage have been great- ‘ly improved recently by the announce- ment of Attorney - General Palmer that the “Big Five” packers are to be prosecuted for violation of the anti- trust laws, and by the president’s im- plied indorsement .of the bill when he urged legislation requiring federal licensing for all,/corporations engaged in interstate commerce. Nevertheless, it would take a lot more than these two factors, or any factors of which the mind can con- ceive, to force a large group of sena- tors to vote for any measure limiting in any way the divine right of vested interest. Senators Smoot of Utah and Sherman of Illinois, familiarly ~known in Washington as the “packer twins,” have already demonstrated that they will lead the fight against -the Kenyon bill in the upper house, and there are many of their way of thinking. Inconceivable as it may seem, there is an organized effort afoot to discredit the Kenyon bill as “an administration- measure,” and to force the whole crowd of standpat Republicans to line up against it on tl,lis ground. “JIM THE PENMAN” IN AGAIN N, Yuma, Col. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: - I am sending you: a letter from a gentleman I do not know. or remember of having ever seen. He also sent a copy of the “Truth,” published at Duluth, Minn., which has a great deal to say about the “left wing,” whatever that is. His letter is written on the stationery of the Grand hotel, and the handwriting doesn’t look much like that of a dry-land farmer. Is this let- ter from the “man of 40 names”? These men seem to watch for a new contributor, then write to him and try to fill him with their dope. Most of us have been queered so often we’re not now willing to fall for any of this mischievous stuff. HORACE BERLEW. Mr. Berlew did get a letter from the “man of 40 names.” This time he signed himself as B. A. Calkins, and said he was a dry-land farmer. Al- most simultaneous with this letter another one reached the office. The prune peddler signed himself as “H. B. Mott,” and told a correspondent of the Leader that he was organizing a farm- - hands” union, in which the Leader writer was interested.—EDITOR. ., i CHOLERA KILLS FEWER HOGS According to records of the United States department of agriculture for the 18 months from April 1, 1918, to April 30, 1919, hog cholera killed 2,- 815,004 hogs, valued at $62,042,688.16, in the United States.. This is the low- est loss. by numbers for a similar period in the livestock history of the United States, but on account of the high price of hogs the monetary loss was heavy. For example, during the year ending March 81, 1913, hogs num- bering 6,064,470 and worth $58,833,663 died from cholera, while the next year the disease took 6,304,320 hogs $67,697,461. i worth PAGE FIFTEEN “THE FARMER’S results ¢ome from Leader Classified Ads. of 8 cents per word is made. ship receipt when claiming the 8-cent rate.
