The decision of Judge Dale of Wieh-
ita in the textbook case is an interest
ing one. He held that a five years
contract made with the American
School Book company one day before
the new law went into effect was not
valid for the reason that under the old
law the board had no power to make
such contract, because, if it had such
power it eonld not bind its successors,
and If the contract had been good il
would have been rendered invalid at
the timeof disqualification ofthe mem.
beFs elected at the ensuing election,
aud the attendent reorganization OF
the board, He granted peFemptcry
order directing the board to use the
new books. This is a victory for the
textbook law.

Who're the Money Gos,

While reading that the miners of
Pennsylvania are willing to mine coal
for abOnt 60 cents per ton, and that
they have been mining it for much less,
does your mind sometimes revert to
the fact that you pay about So per ton
for the same coal that the miners dig
out for So cents? asks Warren Foster
in Living Issues. Have you ever
thought enough along the lines of rea-
son to ask who it is that gets the other
s4.35? If you will take tour of your
local coal dealers you will soon
discover that it is not they who get it,
OF any perceptible portion Of it. In
fact, the margin on which coal dealers
do business is so small that as a rule
they are driven to stealing in the way
Of short weights or else go out Of bust
ness.
It is the railroad companies that get
the great margin between the miner
aud the consumer. These corporations
rob in both ways. They press down
the price of mining just as low as it is
possible to have it done, while they
force up the price of transportation
just as high as the traffic will stand
The railroads could give the miners a
dollar and s. cents for each ton
and then sell it for a dollar less than
they do and still make millions.
Why don't they? Well, it is plain
enough. The fool people have turned
over the public highways Of the country
into their hands, and they are simply
taking advantage Of their foolish
ness-that is all. Would others do the
samei Most certainly, yes. Nobody
can blame a business corporation for
making all the profits they can. Gov
eminent ownership Of railroads would
cause a revolution along this line.

Some time ago when the railroad as
SCISSORS we're considering the matter of
fixing valuations Of railroad property.
ex-Chief Justice Horton, Who repre-
sents the Missouri Pacific, appeared
before the board snd made soma re.
markable statements. He said that in
1894 the republican state central CON-
mittse made a campaign assessment Of
$1,000 esch on the Missouri Pacific,
the Rock Island, the Santa Fe and the
Bnioa Pacific roads. The Missouri
Pacific refused to pay. and when the
arst valuation made by the republican
board was fixed it appesred that this
road was raised nearly one million
dollars. lie did rot say that the other
roads paid the committees demands.
but the fact that the Missouri Paeifo
vas singled out and made to suffer an
enormous raise leads to she suspicion

Following so closely upon the Rd
dress Of Gov. Altgeld at Philadelphia,
and coming from one SO radically op-
posed to that gentleman politically,
the remarks of ex-COngressman Rob
eFt La Toilette of Madison, Wis, deliv-
cred before 1900 people at the Wiscon-
sis State Fair, Milwaukee, the other
day, are noteworthy as indicating the
Widespread sentiment which is growing
up in opposition TO corporate control
Of private, public and governmental
affairs. We quote from his address:
"What is it, then, that is swelling the
ranks Of the dissatisfied? Is it not the
growing conviction in state after state
that We are fast becoming dominated
by forces that thwart the will of the
people and menace representative gov
eminent? From the control of great
manufacturing plunts to the running
of bargain counters, from the opera
ton of railways to the conduct Of
cheese factories, and from the manage
ment of each of these singly to the
consolidation of many into one of 81
gantic proportions, the corporation
has practically acquired dominion over
the business of the world. The effect
of this change upon the American
people is radical and rapid. The iniVid
ual is fast disappearing as q business
factor, and in his stead this new device
the modern corporation. These cor
porations not content with taking
royal tribute daily from the privatt
citizen, shift upon him the chief sup
port of the government. The same
disregard of the rights of others and o
all obligations to the state is shown il
a Determined resistance to bearing
Just share of the burdens of taxation
{ While this is coming to be somewhs
5 understood, yet a rigid investigation o
3 this whole subject of the evasion o
/ taxation by corporations and the pos
SCISSORS of great wealth in every stat
would awaken the just wrath Of tn
people and inaugurate a reform tina
might reach even the machine mad
legislatures OF the day."-Farmers
