Relief in the Kenyon Bill ‘the Kenyon bill are inclined to believe that Chairman Col ver of the federal trade commission proved entirely too 4 h in answering one question. Answering the packers tisements to the effect that “we make only a fraction accent per pound profit on meats,” Colver declared that enormous extent of their business, with the number of oducts and unrelated products they controlled, could them to “sell meat at a loss and still make millions n millions every year.” Sap , This is indeed interesting. In fact it is the embodiment the packers’ defense. If they perfected such an organi- tion by large scale operations and scientific utilization of cers can handle the product so economically that they n sell part of the product at a loss and still make money, why is that a reason for complaint on the part of the pub- 2? Who else could do it? ; ; a this proposition that meat would be higher if the packing ranizations were disrupted? Would it be good busine: disrupt the business of cattle slaughtering and meat dis- fith additional overhead and under the necessity of making profits? resulted in the oil and tobacco farces—with their en- ced graft and higher prices to the public, there is but answer to this question. 1x much monopoly may be distasteful, the people today not for any mere backward steps on the order of the and tobacco fakes. n why it ought to be enacted, lie not in its antiquated lreaucratic administrative machinery nor the restoration alleged “competition.” The fundamental features of the n bill are those proposals to create public slaughtering d distributing agencies. It is a fact that the alleged packer omy is largely fictitious. The packers are more econom- ind a lesser burden on the consumer than the old order things—a multitude of small connecting concerns, ible. Up to a certain point concentration produces econ- beyond that it creates expenses. It is evident that packers’ system with its unnecessary long hauls for cat- to the few packing centers and of meats from the ighter house to the market could be bested by a system decentralized packing plants near all the markets and the ‘wider diffusion of meat culture. In its provisions designed to make such a system possible Kenyon bill is a great step forward and it should be There is where the public will get relief—not from any trust busting operations and hardly from any bureau- eratic licensing and regulation.

Federal Trade Commission Tf the people elect a reactionary “stand pat” president in 1920, one of the first results will be abolishment of the federal trade commission. Or, failing that, it will be packed with members who are “safe and sane” from the standpoint of predatory big business. 4 Ever since the present 66th congress has been in session | attack after attack has been launched upon the trade com- ) mission by reactionaries.

CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Religious Topics for kink of Naples and Sicily The Star ‘The story of Christ before Pi- may matched by the story of Paul ¥elix. Both Christ and Paul were pris late be before oners, but in each case the prix than the their hearts oners were freer judges because were pure Roth Pilate and Felix were “governors” —chief rulers in their provinces with all the power of the Roman govern ment back of them—but before their prisoners they trembled. They were keen enough to see that their prisoners were inno- cent and that thelr cause was Just But Pilate shifted the respon- sibility upon the mob that final ly crucified Jesus, and Felix waited for a bribe, and, none being offered, he finally turned his prisoner over to his ene mies. Both the governors knew enough about law to understand that the accusers of these prin- oners had no case—and in neither instance did the pris oners depend upon sentiment or emotion to prove their inno cence—but as is the case with most men today, what they needed was not more evidence but more courage. We're told that “the devils believe—and tremble,” but that doesn't save them. The trem- bling of Felix as Paul reasoned of righteousness and judgment to come, and his pious plea for more time apparently did not result tn his salvation And Pilate’s turning Jesus over to the mob meant simply that he himself chose Barabbas, the robber—nobody could cru- cify Christ that day but Pilate. Both Pilate and Felix wanted the friendship of the world rather than the consciousness of having done justice to one man. They got it—for @ very brief period—but today they are both despised by the world, and their Prisoners are honored by all men. | They were both better than the mob that wanted to “get” their prisoners, but their re sponsibility was greater than the mob's because they You can hear a great deal times.
