MEAT AND FOOD SUPPLY,
Tart IV of the Federr.l Trade commission's
report on its inquiry, into the activity of " the
meat packers comes to the root of the whole
trouble. Citing the fact that the packers "al
ready handle more than 200 foods unrelated to
the meat packing industry, many of them di
rectly competitive as meat substitutes," the re
port goes on:
The extent to which the packer should be
permitted to enter unrelated food lines is a
matter which the public interest alone should
determine.
Two questions, primarily economic, are in
volved: , - j
Does this widening of activity result in ad
ditional economies of production and dis
tribution? Does it result and will it continue to result
to the public in lower prices and better qual
ity of product and service?
These questions are fundamental. Monopoly
in food supply is not yet admitted as possible.
Control is established. Meat packers are not
the only, nor the greater, offenders. More com
pact and easily operated bodies control certain
foods and send prices up or down at will, and
in their turn may perhaps receive some atten
tion, although at this moment the public pa
tiently heap with the exactions. -
It is elementary that "widening of activity"
will "result in additional economies of produc
tion and distribution," but it is also fairly well
established that a point is finally reached where
to further widen the circle means increased ex
pense. It is not easy to determine just where
this point is, but proper business management
will determine it
That the public should share in the
economies made possible by permitted and
legitimate combinations also is elemental. What
should be aimed at by the Trade commission, and
seemingly has been entirely, missed by it in its
onslaught against the packers, is to adjust mat
ters, so as to avoid oppressive monopoly with
out checking legitimate expansion of business.
Competition between the wholesale grocers and
the meat packers is still possible, and it may
be doubted if public interests will be greatly
served if the trade in foods were to be divided
by any arbitrary line and' dealers be required to
keep on one side or the other of it. ' v
Wha is more to the point is the undeniable
fact that a considerable portion of the present
excessive cost of food is ascribable o undue and
improper manipulation of markets, and not all
of this fault may be laid at the door of the meat
packers.

" Good Living in America
According to the figures of the Burean of
Internal Revenue, just made public, 3,472,390
persons filed income tax returns for the cal-.
- endar year 1917, for a net income of $13,553,
383,207, which is an average income above ex
mptions of $3,902 each. AH but a few of these
were heads of families, and as there are some
20,000,000 families in the United States, this
' means that almost 20 per cent of the families
. of this country have an income urge enougn
to exceed the minimum exemption of $1,000,
while the great majority of them exceeded the
maximum exemptoin of $2,000 for being: the
- head of a family, plus further exemptions for
minor children. '
What other country In the world has 20 per
cent of its population in the enjoyment of such
a substantial support? This is admittedly the
most wealthy nation in the world, but it has
cynically been alleged that the wealth is all in
the hands of a small number of persons. That
allegation-is negatived by the above figures.
In European countries the exemption from tax
ation is far below the amount in this country.
Only those are taxed here who earn enough on
Nvhich to live comfortably, and the tax is small '
on the amounts that but slightly exceed exemp
tion. Therefore, the above figures represent a
general scale of living far above that of other
countries. This fact has been at the foundation
of the tariff policy of the United States. It is
a condition that must be continued, which our
people all desire to be continued. But it can
not be continued unless' we produce more in
proportion than other nations not having the
same high scale of living or surround ourselves

. "What Is the Record?"
Our democratic brethren are lashing them
selves into a froth again over the "record" of
the present congress. Taking its cue from the
Springfield Republican, the World-Herald de
votes some space to generalization, but does
not make a specific charge of neglect. The
Massachusetts paper does say: "The senate's
finance committee has virtually stopped func
tioning, for its chairman, Mr. Penrose, has an
nounced that everything of any account in re
construction is postponed until 1921." This is
a very serious charge, and the weight of its
responsibility ought to rest squarely where it
belongs, on the president and his party.
When the last revenue bill was pendjng be
fore the democratic congress a year ago, it was
purposely extended to include the tax levy for
;192Q, with a view to carrying out democratic
plans and to prevent any, possible amendment
by a republican congress. The unwisdom of
the course was obvious, but Mr. Wilson did
not propose to allow any interference with his
program. He had asked for a congress that
would obey him In all things, and the people
had declined to give it to him; therefore he had
recourse to the expedient of tying the hands of
the Sixty-sixth eongress b forcing a submis
sive body to anticipate the country's needs
through extending the revenue bill a year
beyond its life. ,
Efforts to amend this law has been blocked
by direct notice from the White House that ex
ecutive approval will be withheld from any such
measures. Under the circumstances the senate
finance committee has a choice between enact
ing, laws that are threatened in advance with
veto, and waiting until the democratic blunders
expire with the passage of time. .
Other matters are delayed by the presence
of a treaty the president has sought to drive
through the senate, against opposition from his
own party associates. His persistence in de
manding that it be accepted as he presented it,'
obstinately refusing to accept the judgment of
the senate on any of its points locates the
reason for the blockade on the treaty.
As far as 'reconstruction" work is con
cerned, the present congress is going ahead
safely, not doing a lot of things that will prob
ably have to be undone later on. . ,
Fife Prevention Day.
Governor McKelvie has designated Novem
ber 7 specially as fire prevention day for Ne
braska. He recommends that heating apparatus
of all kind be carefully inspected, that rubbish
accumulation be removed and premises placed
in safe condition. As on many other occasions,
The Bee commends this coarse, with the sug
gestion that it be followed 365 days a year. Ne
braska's annual contribution to the great Amer
ican bonfire is impressive. Moreover, just as is
the main show, it is a monument to our care
lessness. We complain bitterly of the waste
of war, but pay scant attention to the waste of
peace. Annually we allow hundreds of millions
of dollars to vanish in smoke and flame for
want of a little watchfulness. Wealth destroyed
in this manner is lost It may be replaced by
other wealth, but the value is subtracted from
the sum total of human achievement. Experi
ence shows that almost 90 per cent of the fires
that destroy property in the United States start
from preventable causes.' Many costly blazes
result from criminal incendiarism, but most
arise from careless lack of reasonable precau
tions, amounting almost to crime. Property
owners are to blame for this. Fire prevention
day should remind them of their remissness and
lead to an every day application of the simple
rule of "safety first."
The president's plea for a friendly con
gress was not only disregarded but resented.

Collective Bargaining
Fromthe Chicago Tribune.
The justice of the principle of collective bar
gaining is pretty generally recognized. We
can all see that a single employe is at a hope
less disadvantage in dealing with a powerful
employer if his place can be filled by another
worker. Therefore, the American courts and
public opinion have recognized the right of
employes to associate themselves for the pur
pojJof presenting their claims to employers
aiifigeneraHy advancing their conditions. It
is clear, too, that a man may be a very highly
skilled mechanic, a man of ability and brains,
and yet lack either the experience or the spe
cial faculty required to negotiate on fairly even
terms with his employer or his employer's rep
resentative. Therefore, most of us realize that
the only way in which employes may be put on
a safe fo6ting of comparative independence is
by banding together and selecting representa
tives who can devote themselves entirely to
the special business of representing the em
ployes' interests. 1 ' .
But the term collective, bargaining is a broad
one. If it meant merely the right of a group
of men or women employed by the same em
ployer to present their demands collectively
through one of their own number, there would
be little or no objection at this stage of our
industrial development. ..Objection from em
ployers begins where employes combine w.ith
employes of other employers and select a com
mon representative who is not employed by
any one but the union. This, some employers
assert, is "interference by outsiders." It is cer
tainly an extension of the right of collective
bargaining which very greatly increases the
power of the employes while bringing the evils
inherent in any form of indirect representation.
But it also sometimes brings substantial bene
fits both to industry and the public which pays
the cost of industrial warfare. In the hands of
radicals great damage can be wrought by a
high concentration of power. In the hands of
conservatives a moderating -influence can be
exercised,' and has been frequently to the honor
of organized labor.
This, of course, is the basic problem of all
government. But the American principle is to
create checks "and balances for any power, and
we are confident that the American public will
not submit long to the rule of any autocracy,
whether in politics or industry. The closed
shop, the sympathetic strike, are exercises of
power which challenge the instinct and prin
ciple of all Americans who respect individual
liberty and wish to retain our present system
of government and society.
Collective bargaining covers all these ques
tions of the organization of representation in
industry, but perhaps the irreducible minimum
of it is that there shall J)e a bargain. That is,
when employer and employe have met in this
way, the result formulated in an agreement
must be considered by both sides binding. If
it is not, there is no collective bargaining.
Here. is. where not only the employers but
the general public, which pays in, the end for
industrial conflicts, have good reason to com
plain of present conditions. Especially of late,
since radicalism has increased in the labor
movement, breaches or repudiation of contracts
by employes have multiplied. Sometimes rep
resentatives of the employes have bravely op
posed repudiation; sometimes they have or
dered it or connived at it. In either case, men
who look beyond immediate results can see that
if contracts are frequently broken they will not
'be made, and collective bargaining will cease.
1 he radicals would welcome this. When the
radical leadership of the steel strike includes
collective bargaining among the issues, it does
so, with its tongue in its cheek. Collective
bargaining means industrial peace, at least be
tween contracts, and the radicals don't want
peace. Radical ethics are based on the theory
not of co-operation but of opposition; not of
partnership but of war. , T-hey hold that the
employer is an oppressor, not a party to a con
tract of common effort for common profit.
But the American labor movement, which
has been able to place .American labor on a
higher plane of prosperity and security than any
other labor, has not yet been swept into the
radical stream. It is conscious of steady ad
vance on its own lines, and it has had of late
the opportunity to watch the working of rad
icalism in practice abroad. We do not think
the American labor movement is going to lose
its head, desert its wisest leaders, and follow
theorists into a wallow M destructive experi
ment. But if it is not heading that way it ought
to consider that its real progress rests upon
fidelity to its proved conservative leaders and
upon fidelity to contract. Without these, col
lective bargaining is an empty phrase.
In fact, civilized society could not exist with
out respect for contract. Without it there can
be no dealing among men except that of brute
force; there can be no security, no order. With
out contract there can be only anarchy or
despotism.
Contracts made under duress or clearly
proved deceit sometimes may be broken. But
these exceptions should be bona fide exceptions.
When contracts are frequently broken it may
be understood that there is bad faith in their
making, and that the principle of contract, of
collective bargaining, is not respected. The
folly of this ought to be clear, will be clear, to
any one who is able to think beyond immediate
results.

Railroads and the People
To a good many persons in this country the
railroad problem seems a matter remote from
them. As a matter of fact it touches the whole
body of our people very seriously.
Ihe savings banks and insurance companies
have invested to the extent of billions of dol
lars in railroad stocks and bonds. Their secur
ity depends to a large degree upon the security
of the roads. The minute a blow is aimed at
railroad prosperity it is aimed at the banks and
the insurance companies, and so at the millions
of their depositors and policyholders.
Under the modern system of intertwined In
dustry and interest, no great business can suf
fer without every other being affected. This
is particularly true of the railroads, the banks
and the insurance interests. Let any doubter
examine the bank commissioner's current re
port in any state. He will find a long list of
railroad securities among the holdings of the
saving institutions. If he has never thought of
the matter before he will be deeply impressed
with the intimate connection between the wel
fare of the transportation companies and that
of the humblest i depositors of his own com
munity. Providence Journal.

General Peyton O. March.
' General Peyton C. March has had
a ltmg and brilliant career as an of
ficer of the United States army, In
the course of which he rose from
the rank of second lieutenant to the
highest post in the service, that of
chief of the general staff, In which
capacity he served during the war
with Germany.
General March was born .at
Eastern, Pa., December 27, 1864. His
father was a famous scholar on the
faculty of Lafayette college, and the
youth not only had a full course of
study at this institution, but grew
up in an environment calculated to
establish high Intellectual and moral
ideals. Selecting military life as a
jrofessi'on he went to West Point
and superimposed upon his culture
In the humanities the technical
knowledge and disciplinary training
of the military academy.
Upon his graduation from West
Point in 1888 he was assigned to
the Third artillery. He was pro
moted first lieutenant. Fifth Field
artillery, October 25, 1894. He
served as aide-de-camp on the staff
of General McArthur in 1899, was
acting assistant adjutant general,
Second division, Eighth aimy corps,
in the same year, and lieutenant col
onel 33d U. S. volunteer infantry in
1900.
Lieutenant Sfarch commanded the
Astor battery during the war in
Cuba until It was mustered out, and
then went to the Philippines, where
he led the American forces in the
famous "battle in the clouds."
The late. General Funston's capture
of Aguinaldo obscured the brilliant
part that Major March played in the
pursuit of the Filipino leader. The
part that he took in the .."battle of
the clouds," however, won him the
commendation of the president and
promotion to the rank of colonel of
volunteers. It was in this battle that
Gen. Gregorlo del Pilar, one of the
ablest of the Filipino leaders, was
killed. Del Pilar and his forces took
their stand on an almost perpendi
cular hill 3,000 feet above the level
of the sea, almost hidden by the
clouds that obscured the mountain
top. Major March led his men in
the climb up the hill into the hail of
lead the enemy poured into the
American ranks. The bitterly con
tested engagement resulted in the
death of Del Pilar and the surrender
of his men.
But up to the time the United
States entered the world war Col
onel March was unknown except to
his circle of friends and to army of
ficers and men with whom he had
studied and served. One of the, offi
cers who knew him and thought
well of him was General Pershing.
It was at the suggestion of General
Pershing that General March was
placed in charge of the American
artillery In France. The colonel re
ceived his appointment and promo
tion to brigadier general when he
arrived tn Ffance with an artillery
brigade. His services there were so
satisfactory that he was soon pro
moted to major general. Then, in
the early part of 1918, he was sum
moned to Washington to become
acting chief of staff, followed sev
eral months later by his appoint
ment as cnier or stall and his pro
motion to the grade of general.
At Lafayette college General
March was a wonderful base ball
pitcher and star fullback. He earned
his letter in track sports as well, and
was a Delta Kappa Epsilon man.
He was the second of six strappfng
sons, all of them more than six feet
tall.
In 1891 General March was mar
ried to Mrs. Josephine Cuningham
of Washington. Three daughters
were born of the marriage, all of
whom married army officers. Mrs.
Mach died in 1904.

Less Strain On. Your Battery
It is easier on your starting battery when you
use Polarine for engine lubrication.
Because Polarine is made at a below-freezing
point temperature, it does not congeal and
make the engine nard to turn over, in cold
weather.
Polarine always assures maximum power
from your gasoline, too, by maintaining a,
gas-tight seal between piston rings and cyl
inder walls. It does not disintegrate at high
cylinder heat.
Polarine keeps every bearing and engaging part cush
ioned against friction. It doesn't cripple an engine
with carbon. It is the standard oil for all types of
engines and service conditions.
For sale where you buy clean-burning Red Crown
Gasoline by dealers and garages everywhere.
