Des Moines, April 12.-The Iowa su-
lpreme court has again affirmed its posi-
tion with regard to interference with
the business methods of newspaper
publishers who are anxious to secure
the county printing. In the case of
George f. Smith vs. T.. II. Rockwell,
from yanBuren county, it appears that
Rockwell showed up the largest list Of
subscribers before the board of SUPER
visors but the board gave the county
printing to Smith, and the district court
held this was all right because il was
shown that in order to secure his big
list Rockwell made reduced rate for a
time just before the annual printing
contest. The supreme court decides
that the lower court has no right to
consider the price at which subscribe.
tions We're taken. No question is
made said the court, but that all
these persons were yearly subscribers
and no claim is made that.hey in any
manner coiluded with defendant to era-
ple him to secure the printing. Indeed,
so far as appears, they took advantage
of the rate for the purpose of securing
the paper. They We're bona fitle yearly
subscribers for the defendants paper,
unlessit il be for the fact that he reduced
the price thereof with the intent 70 in
crease his list SO a 8 to have his paper
declared the official paper of the county.
We do not think DEFENDANTS intent TO-
secure the larger list by reducing tho.
price of his paper in an. manner af-
fected the validity or good faith Of the
subscriptions. The statutes do not at
temp, 10 fix the subscription price or.
the size of the paper. That there mus
be some price greater than a mere nom

There is nothing iB the record to show
the size Or quality of defendants . paper.
TOR that the price charged therefor was
grossly disrroportionate to its value
For aught we know % cents o year may
lbe all that II was worth. But however

tempted to regulate the price or size

CONCERNING SALT BUSINESS.
President of the National Company
Gives HIS Views.

Washington, April 12.-rhe salt indus
try of She country received the atten-
tion of the industrial commission yes
terday. Archibald S. White. president of
the National Salt Company, being the
witness. He said that the annual con-
sumption OF salt in the United States
amounts 10 about 1S,000,000 barreis, of
which the National company supplied
last year between 5000, 600 and 9,000000
barrels. He said that his organization
had taken in thirty-siN plants. of which
six had been closed. He also stated that
the object of effecting the consolidation
had been economical. Previous to the
combination the competition was 80
sharp that there was no profit in the
business and much inferior salt was
made.
In Michigan, for instance, salt was
sold for 2S cents a barrel, the barrels
alone costing 204cents. One great saw
ing had, he said, been effected in sup
plying salt to the districts in which it is
made. As rule. he said. the men pre-
viously employed had been retained in
the plants, but occasionally it became
necessary to let some employees go.
Probably 80 per cent Of the statesmen
had been dispensed With as such. There
was aaving of commissions to dealers.
We try to get az near the consumer
as possible he said. we would hand
out the bags to individuals If we could
arrange to do so. We should like to cut
out all middiemen.
In the company's business Mr.. White
said that the countrys divided into dis
tricts, .he head Of each district being re-
CURED to make a daily report. The eff.
feet of the combination. he said, had
been to advance wages to the etxent of
20 to 30 per cent
He considered a monopoly impossible
In any industry except in cases in
which II is protected by the state thru
patent rights and otherwise. He did not
consider any ANTITRUST legislation nee
eSsary. but a tax on excessive earnings
might be placed He thought the time
would come when the trusts would be
regarded as benefactors. because of
their conservatism of energy, labor.
ETC.. and because of their prevention of
overproduction and the elimination of
the middleman. As a rule. he contend
ed the stock In trusts is held by people
of moderate means.
Last year the net earnings of the Ma
tional Salt Company had been s1.267.-
$50, and the company had paid per
cent dividend upon preferred and per
cent upon common stock.
How then do you account for the fact
that your stock is quoted SO low?" Mr..
Litchman asked.
II don't know. That is a Wall street
problem" !" the witness replied.
In reply to questions. Mr.. White said
that the tariff of sl.6O per ton on salt
was sufficient to prevent foreign COM
petition, except at seaports. but that the
freight rate on American salt s SO
much greater than on English salt that
the railroad companies generally get the
benefit Of the tariff protection. Ameri-
can salt is now, he said, for the first
time In the history of the country. be-
ginning to find foreign market.
Mr.. White said that there is salt
enough in the state Of New York to sup
ply the world for million years.
