the amended law the Objectionable
features were removed.
This law bids fair to reach the
trusts by taxing their franchises, more
effectually than any antitrust legisla-
ton.
If the Standard Oil Company and
kindred monOpolies can be made to
bear the burden of taxation, according
to their value, equally with the farm
err, it will have tendency to stop the
over-capitalization of these great COM
binations, in which the greatest dan
ger to the business world lies.-Rural-

The Texas Antitrust Law.


adopted by any state in the far-reach-
ing character of it's provisions. 1t alb
solutely debars any pool or trust from
doing business in the state, prevents
their goods from being used in the
state, as it clearly specifies that goods
bought from any trust or corporation
which may prove to be a trust need
not be paid for. 1t also provides that
no corporation can fix a price on it's
goods and force merchants to sell at
such price. 1t provides further that
pooling is strictly prohibited, and that
any corporation giving away it's goods
with view of crushing competition
shall be adjudged a member of
trust and shall be debarred from do
ing business in the state. But Texas
will discover it is only at the opening
Of the game, and the other side is COM
posed of experts with innumerable
tricks up their sleeves.
The Farmers Voice in view of the
enormous power of intrenched capital
behind the mOnopolies cautions Texas
people not to expect too much of this
legislation. And by way of illustra-
ton cites the Standard Oil Monopoly
Attorney General MOnnett of Ohio,
declared in his testimony before the
industrial commission at Washington
on Tuesday that he believed the gross
receipts of the Standard Oil company
were $12O,OOO,OOO a year on the Ohio
product alone, and said that all was
profit over four cents a gallon on re-
fined oil. He placed the value of the
earnings OF the company each year ut
greater figure than the value OF all
the farm products of the state. Let
the farmer ponder that statement, and
then calculate the difference between
the taxes paid by the farmers of Ohio
and those paid by Mr.. Rockefeller'S
monopoly! Gen. MOnnett also COM
planned of discrimination in railroad
rates in favor of the Standard Oil COM
pany tank lines, saying that it was
equal to 400 per cent against the ordin-
airy citizen.
Does anyone suppose for a moment
that corporation already worth hun
dreds of millions, and controlling nat
ural resources that bring to it hun
dreds of millions more each year, can
be thwarted in it's purposes so long as
it is permitted to control these great
natural founts of wealth? 1t is utter
folly to dream it for a moment. The
Standard Oil monopoly could make ev-

are here referred to. But bribery
aside, there are countless ways of lie
feating the provisions of such law
as Texas has passed, and we cannot
but feel that all legislation of this sort
is worse than time wasted, and only
serves to dishearten the people who
are always made the victims Of the
wrath of those against whom such leg

Report OF slxirmIsh Between French
and Chinese Troops In which Over 60
Men Were wounded.

and Chinese Troops In which Over 60
Men Were Wounded.
Hong Kong advices state another Fran
co-Chinese war is imminent over the de-
limitation of French ceased" territory
at Kuang Chou Bay on the Tonkin border.
The French have demanded three times the
amount of territory which China is willing
to concede under Frances original demand
for an open port there under French dom
ination. Marshal Su, China's most famous
general and the victor of the battle Of
Liang Shan in the last Franco Chinese war,
was sent to Kuang Chou Bay with 10000
well-drilled troops. He bore special orders
from the empress dowHger to uphold the
Chinese cause and fight if necessary with
out further orders from Pekin. Marshal
Su arrived last month from Kwong Chou
Wan, on Kuang Chou bay, and skirmish
between Chinese and French troops follow
ed his refusal to longer temporize over
boundary negotiations. Half dozen
Frenchmen were wounded and go Chinese.
Marshal Su has a reserve force of 5000
regulars at Fz-Khan, and is preparing toI
big fight. The French had smaller forces
and to strengthen them have assembled five
warships. Official circles at Pekin and
Marking are excited because President
Loubet of France has refused to receive
Yu Kong, the Chinese minister at Paris,
until the boundary dispute is settled.

Gold Ore Worth $500, 900.

A train load of broad -gauge cars of gold
ore from Cripple Greek arrived in Denver
Saturday night. This shipment is worth
more than any train load of ore ever sent
out, probably, from any mining district in
the world. One carload of irst-class ore is
without question the richest that was ever
known on the globe. This car contains
about 80 tons and it is estimated at
$250,000 The other 10 cars are also high
grade. Five armed guards arrived with
the train. Two carloads of ore containing
in all 81 tons, were sent out few weeks
ago, which brought $164 900, or $3213 a
ton. There were 10 other cars in the train
aud the entire lot were said to be worth
1894 600. The lot shipped on Friday is
little more than half the weight, and it is
believed that $500, 600 would not be bad
guess as to the value of the train. George
Kilorn, the Emanager of the mine, had
trouble in inducing the Midland Terminal
railway to take the ore. The express com
panies refused to handle it, and the rail
way officials took it on the condition that
they would be responsible only to the ex-
tent of $500 600. The ore came from the
tenth level of the mine, opened up about a
year ago.

BIG FAILURES IN BOSTON.
John p. Squire g. Co. Corporation As
signed Friday,

with Liabilities OF S3,OOO,OOO, Assets
$1,000, OOO---Cause, Lack OF Ready
Cash---DoOrs OF the Broadway NatIon-
al Bank Closed Saturday.
The John P. Squire & Co. corporation,
dealer in pork products, made voluntary
assignment at Boston Friday. The liabili-
ties are So, 900, 900 and the assignee esti-
mates the assets at $1,000, 600 Among
the liabilities is an item of $3.50, 900 due the
employees, some of whom for years have
been in the habit of leaving part of their
earning with the firm and on which they
were paid liberal interest.
With the failure of the John P. Squire
q Co. corporation 21 other firms and cor
porations in New England are affected
These are the distributing houses and firms
which handled the Squire products, and
were owned in whole or in part by the
parent concern. The cause of the failure
is want of ready cash. Recently several
Boston men who were largely interested in
the Squire company were badly pinched in
the copper slump, and they are said to have
induced the Squire company to indorse
their paper. When this came due it was
not taken up, and the Squire company,
nOminally solvent, was forced to suspend.
Two concerns in Vermont closely identi-
fed with the John P. Squire & Co. corpor-
alton are the Rutland Provision company
of Rutland and the Lake Champlain Pro
vision company of Burlington. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that the Rutland con-
Germ is not affected by the assignment.
The Burlington has made an assignment.
The great Squire establishment was
founded in 1912 by the late John p Squire,
a native of Weathersheld, Vt. The
founder died in 1893 and his son,
Frank o. Squire, is now the president of
the corporation. The Squire plant in Cam
bridge is one of the largest pork packing
establishments in the East, covering %
acres.
AS result of the Squire failure the
Broadway National bank of 80 Milk street.
Boston, did not open its doors Saturday
morning, and announcement was made
that the bank was in the hands of the
comptroller of currency, with d. o. Wing
as temporary receiver. Only heroic eff
forts of well known men and houses pre-
vented the collapse of other institutions in
Boston. The Broadway National bank has
been known as the esquire bank" and
Frank o. Squire, head of the Squire com
pany, has been vice president of the bank
and an influential force in its management.
Cashier Curtiss says the bank is solvent,
and has $500, 900 in cash on hand Its de-
posits amounted to about 50 100000. The
banks capital stock is $1,000 1t was
incorporated in 1858.

Ceuta, that speck of Spanish soil on the
coast of Morocco is acquiring international
importance. 1t is reported that Russia is
negotiating for its purchase, probably with
view to transferring 1t to France and
that England is gathering formidable
feet at Gibraltar, only few miles away,
to prevent the sale. The story seems to
be variation OF the report recently circu-
lated that Morocco Is about to fall TO pieces
and be partitioned among the leading
powers OF Europe, and both have at least
so much foundation as is contained In the
gathering of British ships at Gibraltar,
which is fact. If the rest Of the story Is
equally true, highlands African troubles
have only begun.

stolen from guests in fashionable hotels in
Hot Springs, Ark, recently. Mrs. Mark

rings valued at $4,000 taken from the draw

About $50, 900 worth of sunbursts. cres-

in Mrs. Hanna's trunk, and these could

thief evidently did not take the time TO
search further or was afraid to accept the
risk.
