PAYING FOR PAST ERRORS
At the time the United States annexed what is now
the southwestern states the cattle barons of that por
tion of Mexico maintained their herds solely for the
hide and tallow. This was in 1848 when we boasted but
23,000,000 population. Packing houses were unknown
and meat was so cheap that only the choicest portions
were saleable. Even alter the packing houses emerged,
vast quantities of what is now commercial products
passed through the sewers. A man watching the sewer
leading from the Chicago stockyards and packing
houses discovered that large quantities of tallow was
going to waste, erected skimmers and reaped a fortune
from this waste product, much of which is purchased
in Alaska today at from 15 to 20 cents per pound and
used as dog feed.
Now, it is claimed, the packing plants conserve
everything of the animal but the squeal of the pig.
And yet, despite this utilization of by-products, we
are paying approximately four times as much for
fresh meats than we did less than a half-century ago.
This condition is the natural outgrowth of increas
ed population. While we had only 23,000,000 mouths to
feed in 1848, we now are called upon to feed approxi
mately 115,000,000 or five times as many.
Without the conservation of what was once waste
products, the price of fresh meat would be beyond the
reach of the ordinary family.
Today a can of salmon may be purchased for 25
cents, because there are plenty of salmon. Like the old
days of an oversupply of frozen meat, only the choisest
varieties of fish are saleable.
What will it be within the next halt-century:
In an effort to solve the problem the Bureau of
Fisheries has imposed rules regulating the taking of
salmon. It has powers to prohibit fishing altogether.
The same rule might have applied to the cattle industry
had it been a public commodity instead of privately
owned. It was economic laws and not governmental
regulation that solved the meat question. The same
laws might go far toward solving the salmon question.
Today the fish are being taken for their “hide and tal
low” *as it were, and only the choicest fish are sought
because an extravagant public has forgotten the his
tory of older countries whose growth of population
alienated vast areas of grazing lands and reduced their
meat supply.
Herring oil and fertilizer are being permitted to
convert edible fish into this material, and by-products
from canneries are being thrown away. It would ap
pear that the salmon industry must rely as much upon
commercializing the entire fish as it does upon packing
only choice varieties as a solution of the matter of un
certainty with respect to success or failure.
Like the packing houses, the cannery appears
ready to emerge as a food factory. Once this condition
arrives the value of the annual catch will be increased
by eight or ten millions of dollars without increasing
the number of fish taken.

UNITED ARTISTS PRODUCTION
“The Gaucho”
A wild and wierd story of the immense pampas country,
South America. The enormous territory where the Ar

like feudal lords of old. This play has magnificent back
grounds and settings, and Fairbanks outdoes himself in
the role of a Gaucho. One of the latest pictures of this
great actor and said to be one of his best.
