The Elk County Citizen: Several
times day we hear the remark, You
can not legislate money into a mans
pocket" The fellows who so freely
use this expression are the ones who
are opposed to an expansion of the cir
culating medium and who tell us that
we have plenty of money now if 'peo-
pie would only work more and talk
less !" and SO earn it. The people have
long ago learned that it is very easy
to leglslatc money OUT of mans poe
ket, and several of the fellows who
talk SO much about the present .good
times" are so reduced financially by
pernicious legislation of the past thirty
years that they are unable to pay us
bills of long standing. It becomes
very tiresome when you have to listen
to this cant about the excessive pros
perity of the country from men who
are unable to live and get enough
money ahead to pay what they owe.
The people are convinced that con-
gress can, indirectly, .legislate money
into their pockets. An increase OF
the circulating medium to a point
where IS will be amply sufficient to
meet the agricultural and commercial
wants of the country will at least give
the producing classes chance to got
some OF it while. under existing cir
cumstances, they are practically de-
prived Of that chance.

The Farm Ranch: The object of
the sub-treasury plan is to store the
grain and the imperishable products
in the section where they are produced
until demanded for consumption, in
stead of crowding them into two or
three grain centers to be controlled by
grain spectators. By this means we
will avoid the depressed price caused
by throwing the crop onto the market
after harvest, and the farmers will get
the benefit of the rise in the price in

North Guthrie and directs that a hearing
be had TO determine the rights of the
respective agricultural claimants. Entries
by those who entered the territory prior
to the hour fixed by the proclamation for
opening the land to settlement are declared
void. As 10 the claims of Veerder b.
Payne and Zenophon Fitzgerald, the sec
rotary finds that their homestead entries
were not made in good faith, but on the
contrary, in the knowledge that town
site would be located at a certain point,
they had entered on these tracts with a
view To speculation in town lots. Al
though they were on the ground a few
minutes prior to the arrival of the town
site claimants. their motives are taken in
20 consideration and the land is awarded
TO the townsite people. thus reversing the
decision OF the commissioner of the gen.
erai land Office. The application of the
mayor and others To enter the west half OF
section nine as the towusite of East
Guthrie is rejected, on the ground that the
application is made in the interest of men
who violated the law In entering the terri
tory prior to the date liked by the presi-
dent in his proclamation.
