July 9. Legislation to prohibit tha sale of distilled liquors, wine, and beer after January 1. 191?. and to prohibit the manufacture of wine and beer after November 1 next was agreed on today by th senate agricultural committee. Tho l.-islation Is proposed as a subftl'ute f"r tn i-o-iding Xorr's amendro r.t to th $1 LOO'1, 000 emergency agricultural at pr--pr itiou bill, which would stop the sale of distilled liquor and wine on June 20, lf19, and prohibit the mantifafcture of beer three months after the bill becomes a law. Provision for the exportation of liquors already produced was considered by tho committee and probably will be reported in some form before the senate acts on the amendment. Action Unanimous. The changes had been discussed for a number of days, so that when the committee met today action was practically by unanimous consent without a record vote. By fixing a definite date after which the sale would be prohibited of all intoxicating liquors, members of the committee believe that any charge of discrimination would be avoided. They say wine growers would be enabled to dispose of this year's crop while brewers could makd use of their entire supply of malt. fr.v T'NtTEn Frkss INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.

the campaign with candidates will prove successful. In the meantime the Republicans expect to have their speakers' bureau send out orators to practically every county in the state. "William Hays, national chairman, is keeping his hands on the reins in the Republican campaign as much as possible. During- a recent visit to Indianapolis he conferred with the party leaders in the state regarding he campaign plans. He is also keeping in close touch with the situation through L. W. Henly. state secretary. The slogan of the Democrats undoubtedly will be "Stand by the President."' Thy will dwell on eliminating the teaching of German language in public schools and oppose concentration of power in the hands of the governor by making several offices, now elective, appointive by the chief executive. Republicans will follow the banner of. "Win the War Now." In state Issues they will fight for centralization of control and responsibility under the governor by making many offices appointive by him instead of elective. The prohibitionists are striving to make capital out of the fact that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans mentioned prohibition in their platforms. They expect many voters to cast their ballots for the prohibition candidates because of the fact that the other two parties did not come out for the national prohibition amendment to the constitution.

Tho Federal Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits, stated that the five lare meat packers have been profiteering and that they have a monopoly of the market. These conclusions, if fair and just, are matters of serious concern not only to those engaged in tho meat packing business but to every other citizen of our country. The figures given on profits are misleading and the statement that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported bv the facts.

The packers mentioned in the report stand ready their profits reasonable and necessary.

The meat business is one of the largest American industries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with its details must be prepared for large totals. The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers were $140,000,000 for the three war years. This sum is compared with .$19,000,000 as the average annual profit for the three years before the war, making it appear that the war profit was $121,000,000 greater than the pre-war profit. This compares a three-year profit with a one-year profit a manifestly unfair method of comparison. If is not only misleading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparent ly lias made a mistake in the figures themselves.

The aggregate three-year profit of $140,000,000 was earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It means about three cents on each dollar of sales or a mere fraction of a cent per pound of product. Packers' profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats. Xo other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit.

Furthermore and this is very important only a small portion of this profit has been paid in dividends. The balance has been put back into the business. It had to be. as vou realize when you consider the probolems tho

,i..kt.is have had to sohe and solve quickly these war years.

To conduct this business in war times, with higher costs and the necessity of paying two or three times the former prices for live stock, has required the use of two or three times the ordinary amount of working capital. The additional profit makes only a fair return on this, and as has been stated, the larger portion of the profits earned has been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to provide

RABBIT CAUSED SOME TROUBLE HEBRON, Ind., July 8. Discovery of a rabbit on Bigler street here caused a violation of a town ordinance, damage to property, and embarrassment to two prominent people.

If you are a business man you will appreciate the significance of these facts. If you are unacquainted with business, talk this matter over with some business acquaintance with your banker, say and ask him to compare profits of the packing industry with those of any other large industry at the present time.

Xo evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in support of the statement that the large packers have a monopoly. The Commission's own report shows the large number and importance of other packers. The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove to any fair minded person that they are in keen competition with each other, and that they have no power to manipulate prices. If this were not true they would not dare to make thi3 positive statement. Furthermore, government figures show that the five ".irge packers mentioned in the report account for only about one-third of the meat business of the country. They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their business. Of how, for instance, they can sell dressed beef for less than the cost of the live, animal, owing to utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful story of tthe methods of distribution throughout this broad land, as well as in other countries.

The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operating with each other to the extent of together presenting this public statement. They have been able to do a big job for your government in its time of need; they have met all war time demands promptly and completely and they are willing to trust their case to the fairmindedness of the American people with the facts before them.
