"When my attention was first directed to this matter an investigation was made under the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture. When the preliminary statements of this investigation were brought to my attention they showed such defects in the law and such wholI conditions that ly unexpected deemed it' best to have a further immediate Investigation by men not connected with the bureau, and according-iappointed Messrs. Reynolds, and Ne'JI. It was impossible under the existing law that satisfactory work should be done by the bureau of an. lmal Industry. I am now. however, examining the way In which the work actually was done. Before I had received the report of Messrs. Reynolds and Neill I had directed that labels placed upon any package of meat food products should state only that the carcass of the animal from which the meat was taken had been Inspected at the time of slaughter. If Inspection of meat food products at all Btages of preparation Is not secured by the passage of legislation recommended, 1 shall feel compelled to order that Inspection labels and certificates on canned products shall not be used hereafter.

Under existing law the national government has no power to enforce Inspection of the many forms of prepared meat food products that are dally going from the packing houses Into Interstate commerce. Owing to an Inadequate appropriation the department of agriculture is not even able to place Inspectors In all establishments The desiring that. present law prohibits the shipment ol uninspected meat to foreign countries, but there is no provision forbidding the shipment of uninspected meats in interstate commerce, and thus th avenues of Interstate commerce are left open to traffic In diseased or spoiled meats. If, as has been alleged on seemingly good authority, further evils exist, such as the Improper use of chemicals and dyes, the government lacks power to remedy them. A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general government to Inspect and supervise from the hoof to the can the preparation of meat food products. The evil seems to be much less in the sale of dressed carcasses than in the sale of canned and other prepared products; and very much less as regards products sent abroad than as regards those used at home. In my judgment, the expenses of the Inspection should be paid by a fee levied on each animal slaughtered. If this Is not done, the whole purpose of the law can at any time be defeated through an insufficient appropriation and whenever there was no particular Interest In the subject It would not be only easy, but natural, thus to make the appropriation insufficient. If it 1 were not for this consideration should favor the government paying for the Inspection. in certain The alarm expressed this feature quarters concerning should be allayed by a realization of the fact that In no case under such a law will the cost of inspection exceed 8 cents per head. I call special attention to the fact that this report is preliminary, and that the Investigation Is still unfinished. It Is not yet possible to report on the alleged abuses In the use of deleterious chemical compounds In connection with canning and preserving meat products, nor on the alleged doctoring in this fashion of tainted meat and of products returned to the packers as having grown unsalable or unusable from age or from other reasons. Grave allegations are made In reference to abuses of this nature. Let me repeat that under the present law there practically Is no method of stopping these abuses, if they should be discovered to exist. Leglslar tion Is needed In order to prevent the possibility of all abuses In the future. If no legislation is passed, then the excellent results accomplished by the work of this special committee will endure only so long as the memory of the committees work Is fresh, and recrudescence of the abuses Is absolutely certain. I ugre the Immediate enactment Into law of provisions which will enable the department of agriculture adequately to Inspect the meat and meat food products entering Into Interstate commerce, and to supervise the methods of preparing the same, and to prescribe the sanitary conditions under which the work shall be I therefore commend to perforated. your favorable consideration and urge the enactment of substantially the provisions known as senate amendment No. 29 to the act making appropriations for the department of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, as passed by the senate, this enactment being commonly known as the Beveridge amendment.

Miles, In and can only guess how many lives It has cost the republic. I have a barrel of testimony on the subject In the way of affidavits that I collected when I made my Investigation seven years ago. The Investigating committee closed the case and refused to hear 200 witnesses whom I bad ready. At that time I could have secured the testimony of 100,000 men that the canned beef sold to the army; was Impure, adulterated and unwholesome. In my Investigation of 'embalmed beef during the Spanlah-Araericawar I found that poisons were betngj used to preserve meat. My first Intimation of the practice came to me in reports from commanding officers to the effect that the rations were not wholesome and were making the soldiers sick. I ordered an Investigation and learned from the reports brojght to me that canned meat had been sold to the army that had been for months In the warehouses of the Baltimore ft Ohio railroad and at the docks In Liverpool. and This meat had been sold to the United States for soldiers rations. I turned the reports over to the war department and a whitewashing Investigation was Instituted and successfully carried out. The official report was that a colossal error had been made.
