Within the last ten years Louisiana
and Texas have increased the area de-
voted to rice to such an. extent that
they now furnish nearly thres-fourths
OF all the product Of the country. The
great development of the rice industry
in Louisiana since 1854 has resulted
from the opening up Of a prairie re-

state and the development OF system
of irrigation and culture which made
possible the use of harvesting machin-

AN ANTITRUST LAW VOID.
The Illinois Measure Declared 10 BE
Unconstitutional

CHICAGO. Jan. 3O.-The Illinois anti
trust law has been declared unconstitu-
tional by Judge Kohlsaat in the United
States Circuit Court. Because OF the sec
ton which eXempts from rs provisions the
agriculturist and stock raiser, the court
held that the statute is tainted with class
and special Legislation, and is in con-
prevention Of both the Federal and State
constitutions. In the decision Judge Kohl
saat did not cOnfne has findings to the
clause in question, but ruled against the
entire act.
The antitrust statute was enacted in
1898. Decisions UNFOLDING the validity of
the act OF 1891. of which the law OF 1898
is an application, have been rendered by
the States chief tribunal in the milk
shippers and glucose cases, but that
statute did not contain the clause which
Judge Kohlsaat today finds is class legis-
Iation.
The Objectionable part OF the law is
section g. which contains the words; The
provisions of this act shall not apply to
agricultural products or live stock while
in the hands of the producer or raiser. -
Fhe action by which the ConstitutiOnaIity
OF the Law was attacked was brought by
the Union Sewer Pipe Company to re-
cover about $4,000 on contracts made sew
eral years ago.

A MORTGAGE FOR $1o,ooo,ooo.

BRISTOL, Va, Jan. 3O.-The first mort
gage Of the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke
Company to secure bonds aggregating So
900, 900. which bonds we're issued upon the
organization Of the company last March,
has been recorded in the Office of the clerk
of the hastings court here. This mortgage
required $4,999.50 in United States revenue
stamps in order to comply with the pro-
visions of the war tax law
The mortgage reveals that the company
is paying per cent interest on all its
bonds. the payments being made March 1
and September 1 of each year. These
bonds run for a period of fifty years at the
same rate OF interest. II will be seen
from this that the company is paying
$500 600 a year for the use Of the capital
upon which It operates. This is at the
rate Of a fraction over 81 1863 per day. At
this rate the company will have paid the
equivalent Of the principal within twenty
years, and two and a half times that at
the maturity of the bonds.
This may seem a large sum to pay for
operating capital, but Il is unofficiaily es-
timated that the company is clearing at
