GOVERNOR FOSTERS V|ENS.J
Would Establish a Government Bu-

TAX PROFITS OVER 6 PER CENT

Chicago, Sept. 16.-EX-Governor Eos
ter of Ohio, in his speech at the Anti
Trust Conference, said: "Denounce
trusts as we may, they have come to
stay. Why? Because the gigantic bus
mess operations of the present and fu-
ture cannot be carried on without
them. Through the trust the enor-
nous waste that is entailed upon bust
ness operations by competition is saved.
The product and the service performed
is cheapened. Labor will have the
better opportunity to. enhance wages
and shorten the hours of toll, as Is So
signally illustrated in the railway selt
vice of the country. When the trusts.
shall have been properly IL
by law, their securities will furnish a
means of safe investmentr at a some

be paid by government, state or munic'
ipal bonds, thus atfording an oppor-
tunity for investment by people OF
moderate means. A bureau of govern
ment, or board of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, should be establish
ed, to whom all trusts shall apply for
license after being incorporated and to
whom reports, as required of national
banks, should be made. The terms OF
the license should provide against overs
capitalization. All profits beyond six
per cent should be taxed for the benefit
of the government. 1t seems to mo
that it is the duty of this conference tc
request congress to submit amend,
ments to the constitution giving it nee;
essary power to control the trusts and
to tax their profits"

MORE CORN and LESS HOGS.
Secretary Coburn Gives Results Of
His Investigation.
HOW PROFITS MAY BE WON.

Topeka, Sept. 1S.-Kansas has n
much largcr'supply than usual of the
very best producing foods this
year, and the all-important question
now is how it may best be utilized or
disposed of. Probably the first prop
ositfon to be considered will be the
probable profit of sending it to market
via the live stock route. Audience the
combination of an immense corn crop.
abundance of all kinds of forage,
and the high price of stock. animals,
has caused much speculation as to the
probable number of cattle and hogs
which will be grain-fattened in the
state this coming fall and winter.
Realizing the public interest and
value of information along this line,
Secretary +. d. Coburn, OF. the state
board of agriculture, has made inquir-
les of leading stock growers, feeders
and farmers, located principally in the
foremost corn and stock counties, with
view to ascertainlng what, IN their
Judgment, is likely to be done in this
direction, compared with last years
operations; if stock cattle and hogs are
considered too high for probable profit
in fattening with grain and fat stock
prices as at present, and what feeders
will likely have to pay for corn, deliv-
cred in their feed lots, between now
and Christmas.
A summing up of the reports received
show that in many of the larger cattle
counties there is likely to be an in
creased number fattened over last year,
and in others more or less of decrease,
while apparently there is general
scarcity of hogs, and the number for
winter fattening is almost without ex-
ception reported less.

knights of Labor Heard.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-John w. Hayes,
secretary of the Knights of Labor, in
his address at the Antitrust eonven'
ton said:
II maintain that these great COM
binations are an assault upon the in
herent and constitutional rights of the
citizens; that the real and vital adj
vantage to be gained is the despotic
control over labor.
Il assert boldly that trusts are the
enemies of society and as such should
be destroyed as any common enemy
and the financial phase of the question
should not come into the subject fol
consideration as the liberties of the
people are far above the mere question
of money"

of the several state Legislatures to apply
to such phases as could not be reached
