"We can run a slaughter house and make it pay with out destroying business, as the scoff ers cry. The biggest single Item in homes Is the meat bill and the pack ers are all millionaires." This Is the vay Emil Seidel, the so cialist mayor of Milwaukee, defends the action of his city council in urging the legislature to give the municipal ity power to start a municipal slaugh' ter house, cold storage plant and othei business enterprises.

If a city can furnish its stockholders with cheap commodities that enter in to the cost of living, then it is the duty of its servants to see that meas ures are adopted which will bring about this much desired result. "Tho greatest problem confronting the American people today is the cost of living. It is the duty of every offi cial to study this problem lor,s snd carefully. I think that tr biggest s'nglo item In the cost of maintaining the home Is the moat bill. There Is hardly a packer of any consequence In this country who Is not a millionaire. Started Out Poor.
