that instead Of doing so he secretly de-
parted for America where he has resided
ever since. In the meantime having
become an American citizen, last summer

TO be his holding by the government until

The Nursery Trust.

What has become of the proposed
"trust" that was to be formed by lead
ing nurserymen? Let's hear from these
gentlemen. The avowed object of this
trust was to increase prices Of nursery
stock which, it is claimed, are now far
too low. Whatever the object, the re-
suit would be left to the small nursery
men," who sell directly to the farmers.
When an article is protected by pa
tent, a copyright or a monopoly owner
ship, as in the case of coal or oil, it
makes sound foundation for trust.
Not so with nursery stock.
We wonder if our friends have money
enough to prove this fact by actual ex-
pertinent. Further, will the dear public
of farmer buyers be anxious to purchase
trees and plants Of monopoly? Or will
they prefer to purchase of the little fell
lows who are left out of the trust and
the host of new ones who will spring up,
following the combinations as mush-
rooms follow rain.-Rural New Yorker.

The Iowa railroads are assessed
for 100000 while their capital
lied value is $500, 100000. The
capitalized value of the railroads in
Missouri is 1904, 725, 258, while their
assessed value is $57, 273,911, or a
little more than one-sixth OF their
capitalized value. So long as our
present system of taxation exists,
there is no reason in equity and JUS
tice, why railroad property should
not be taxed as other property. This
would compel the railroads OF Mis-
souri, and Iowa to pay taxes on at
least one hundred millions OF dollars
worth OF OF property in each state.
