A Chicago editorial rips the Beef Trust and allied committees for disguising probes into meat safety. It condemns paid editors, publishers, and politicians, notes public anger over tainted packers, cites Ames and Beveridge bill disputes, and calls for strict inspection funded by packers.
A roar of public outrage targets the Beef Trust over diseased meat and press coverups. Roosevelt faces the issue as investigations by Neill and Reynolds are cited and calls grow for strict interstate meat inspection and enforcement. Chicago Eagle reiterates the fight, naming officials, health reports, and pending legal actions.
Strong field of candidates fills the Democratic slate in Chicago with Ernst Hummel for county treasurer and Harry Gibbons for sheriff leading the ticket. Governors, lawmakers, and party organizers push a clean, aggressive campaign while Republicans nominate their strongest figures. Multiple party meetings, primary law debates, and public pledges mark a busy political season.
United Societies of Chicago, a group of citizens, defeated a water meter ring scheme aimed at forcing meters on all frontage rate owners. City Council raised frontage rate exemption to 850, protecting small property owners from meters and graft. The same session granted liquor permits to certain organizations for dances, while moving toward removing cable cars and tunnels as electric power replaces cable traction.
The city council on Monday fixed electric light rates for five years and allowed Edison and Commonwealth Electric to consolidate. They passed an order for marking mallk bottles, reviewed bids for Modular Courts Building, and gave Chief Collins and Assistant Chief Schuettler 100 automobiles. A resolution for a municipal audit of each city department was sent to committee, and a rule for a committee to consider appointments requiring council concurrence was referred.
