WORLD’S POPULATION
INCREASING FASTER
THAN MEAT SUPPLY
Washington, July 9.—With the pop
ulation of the world increasing faster
than the growth in the meat' supply,
givernment experts forsee a serious
problem to be solved in the not for
distant future.
The situation in the United States
lias reached an interesting stage,
i Within the last ten years the popula
tion has increased about 10 per cent.
,while the herds of the nation which
brought the meat industry to its pres
ent high development have declined
.20 per cent. In Europe the condi-
fttons are even more serious because
| >f the depletion due to the war. Aus-
i ralia and New Zealand continue to
iroduce great quantities of meat, but
t;he distance to the congested centers
f population adds much to the ex
pense of marketing. South America’s
' ast fields and splendid herbage, there
'.ore, are being looked to as the source
, f supply, now as well as after the war
Argentina is today the most import
ant beef-producing country in the
; ^orld, according to a review of meat
Sacking in South America by the l.at-
■-American division of the bureau
’ fcreign hnd domestic commerce.
1 jruguay also is becoming a center of
L y e industry and Brazil, Paraguay,
[ Balombla an# Venezuela to a less ex-
nt. Out of a total of 915,G47 tons of
•ef, mutton and iamb produced in
16, Argentine produced 436,405 tons,
aw Zealand and Australlia 2G2.176
ns, the United States 80,522 tons,
■uguay 43,895 tens, Brazil 33,57!
Meat packing in Argentina has been
so successful because it was spared
the hardships which a new industry
usually encounters. Profiting by Am
erican experience, the plants were es
tablished along modern lines without
costly experiment. A market already'
had been created in Europe by the
shipment of frozen meat from the
United States.
Argentina is now seeking to increase
her herds to keep pace with the ca
pacities of the packing houses, while
Brazil is endeavoring to augment the
number of packing houses to augment
the number of packing houses to han
dle the plentiful supply of stock. The
Brazilian government is giving everv
encouragement to breeders to improve
their strain of cattle.
Colombia has offered a subsidy of
10,000 pounds to the first packing
house established in that country. Co
lombia has approximately 1,000,000
head of cattle, which can be exported
now only on the hoof. American,
British and Swedish farmers are re
ported to be investigating the subsi
dy offer.

Washington. July9.—President Wil
son informed Congress Friday that he
would like to see the resolution au
thorizing him to take over telegraph
and telephone lines passed before the
proposed recess of congress.
Chairman Pou, of the house rules
committee sought the president’s
views with the explanation that mem
bers wanted to get away as soon as
possible for a brief mid-summer re
cess. Secretary Tumulty telephoned
him later that the President thought
the resolution should be passed at
this time.
Leaders of both houses have de
clared that it would be impossible to
get the resolution through without
much consideration and debate, and
that if the President insisted upon its
passage recess plans must be aban
doned. V
Representative Pou later presented
a special rule for immediate consider

said, “I imagine all this has become

William J. Harris was born In Ce-
dartown, Polk county, Georgia, Feb
ruary 3, 1868. He was educated in
the common schools of Polk county
and the University of Georgia, teach
ing school during the summer to pro
vide means for his college training.
In 1895, he married Miss Julia Whee
ler, daughter of Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
the distinguished Southern cavalry
leader. Mr. Harris has three brothers
now serving in the United States
Army, Gen. P. C. Harris, Maj. Seals
Harris and Capt. Hunter Harris. Many
young men have been beneficiaries
of Mr. Harris' aid in obtaining an edu
cation to equip them for life’s work.
Political Service.
As Chairman of the Polk County
Democratic Executive Committee, he
succeeded in establishing the "white
primary," In 1892.
As private secretary to Senator A.
S. Clay, and under the training of this
distinguished Georgian, Mr. Harris be
gan, in early life, to look after the
interests in‘Washington of Georgians
from every section.
In 1912 Mr. Harris managed Presi
dent Wilson’s first campaign in Geor
gia; was elected chairman of fhe
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, and played prominent pari in roll
ing up the largest majority Georgia
ever gave a candidate for President.
Legislative Service.
Mr. Harris represented the 38th dis
trict in the state senate in 1911-12, and
there worked and voted for every
measure that would help the farmers
and benefit the taxpayers of the state,
Some of these include;
(1) Mr. Harris introdueed and aid
ed in the passage of the bill abolish
ing the unlimited fees of oil inspec
tors, and fixing their maximum salary
at $100 per month. This law has
saved the state thousands of dollars.
In 1917 alone, it saved the state net,
$182,588.
(2) Mr. Harris introduced and pass
ed the bill requiring lobbyists to reg
ister, thereby eliminating the grafting,
professional lobbyist, and protecting
legislation.
(3) Mr. Harris advocated the sepa
rate leasing of the W. & A. Railroad
from the other state property in Chat
tanooga, a policy since adopted by the
“Lease Commission.”
(4) Personally, Mr. Harris has al
ways been a consistent prohibitionist,
and has always supported all measures
looking to freeing the state from tht
liquor traffic.
National Service.
As director of the United States Cen
sus, to which he was appointed by
j President Wilson, officials today say
I that Mr. Harris was the most efficient
director since the bureau was estab
lished. The chief "criticism” against
bis administration, made by Judge
Hughes, Republican nominee for Presi
dent, was that he appointed so many
Georgia Democrats to positions in the
department.
President Wilson appointed Mr. Har
ris acting secretary of commerce, in
the absence of Secretary Redtield, and
cordially approved bis services and ef
ficiency as a temporary member of tile
cabinet.
Under Republican rule the Wall
street gamblers were permitted to keep
down the price of cotton by including
in the census estimate the number of
bales of linters cotton. Mr. Harris had
the linters estimate separated from
the regular cotton reports, which re
duced the estimates and tended to
raise the price of cotton. During Re
publican rule, it' was freely charged
that there were “leaks" in cotton esfl-
mates of the census bureau. Not once
since the administration of Mr. Harris
has there been the slightest suspicion
of a “leak’’ in the census reports.
In the census bureau, Mr. Harris
changed the “age limit,” fixed by the
Republicans, so that Confederate Vet
erans could be given the same oppor
tunities as Union Veterans; and many
old Confederate Soldiers are now hold
ing good places in the department. It
was in keeping with his devotion to
the old soldiers. HU father was a
brave Confederate Veteran, and his
father-in-law was the gallant "Little
Joe” Wheeler.
Promoted by the President.
Due to Mr. Harris' efficient adminis
tration of the census bureau, President
Wilson promoted him by appointing
him a member of the federal trade
board. Recognizing his ability, his
colleagues, two years later, elected him
chairman of the board. Resigning to
enter his campaign for United States
senator as the loyal supporter of Pres
ident Wilson in winning the war, as
against the present junior senator from
Georgia, Mr. Harris carried with him
the love, esteem, confidence and best
wishes of his colleagues, the depart
ment. heads and the President who had
further expressed his confidence in Mr.
Harris by the following additional ap
pointments:
(1) Appointed by the President as
member of the price fixing committee
of the war industries board, to fix
prices for army supplies. When New
England manufacturers endeavored to
fix the price of cotton, Mr. Harris op
posed them most vigorously. He also
brought charges against the "bagging
trust’’ which Is now facing trial.
(2) The President named the sec
retary of agriculture, Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Harris a committee of three to in
vestigate the advisability of the gov
ernment taking over the meat packing
houses. The President's confidence
was further expressed when Mr. Har
ris resigned, by the request that he
name his own successor, and Mr. Har
ris named Hon. Victor Murdoch.
The Confidence of Mr. Wilson.
Further indicative of the confidence
of President Wilson in Mr. Harris, is
the following conclusion of the Presi
dent’s letter accepting his resignation
from the federal trade commission to
run for the United States senate;
“May I not say how warmly 1 have
appreciated the way in which you have
performed the difficult and often deli
cate duties assigned to you in the
trade commission? I am sure that
I am expressing the general feeling
when 1 express my regret at your
withdrawal.
“Cordially and sincerelv yours,
“WOODROW WILSON.
“Hon. William J. Harris,
“Federal Trade Commission."
Mr. Harris’ Qualifications.
Mr. Harris is In close touch with
conditions at the national capitol. His
relations with the administration are
intimate. He has the confidence and
esteem of the President and depart
ment heads. Through these relations
he is in better position to represent
Georgia in the United States senate—
her people, her commercial, financial
and agricultural interests and to ren
der effective aid and service to Geor
gia soldier and sailor hoys, fighting
for Americanism nnd Democracy,—
than probably any other Georgian now
in the public eye. Mr. Harris’ elec
tion will mean that the good name
of Georgia will he redeemed from the
charge of disloyalty and "kaiserlsm"
with which it lias been stained by the
misrepresentation of the recent pas
