The relative values of land in

THE relative values of land in
the east and west is subject of
discussion that is exceedingly in
teresting, especially at this time.
We all know that a bushel of
wheat is worth in the west what it
is in tue east, minus the cost OF
transportation. The same rule ap-
plies to beef, horses and other
articles of personal property that
are usually transported from the
west to the east. But land is a
different thing. That stays whore
it is, and we all know that prices
are exceedingly unequal. While
land IN Iowa may be worth 500
an acre, similar land IN North Da-
koto, capable Of producing exactly
as much may be worth only $40,
and the difference in value is far
greater than the difference in cost
Of transportation of the products
to market would warrant. In New
Jersey the osnsss reports show
that the average value of farms il
1850 vas $43.67 per acre In 1860
the average had declined to s4O.4l
In 1870 the gold value vas $69.9l
In 1880 it had destined to $65. 16
aud in 1900 to $57.23. But il
Massachusetts, the value Of farm
lands is higher that ever before
In 1850 the average was 1924, bu,
in 1900 the average value per acre
was 1881. This is four times af
great as in 1860.

NORTH DAKOTA has again taken
the big piece of immigration per-
simmou this spring. Since Jan
uary LIST, 10000 have been added
to its population. North Dakota
was credited by the census of 1900
with 100000 inhabitants. The i'm
migration Of last year, together
with that Of the last four months,
will bring the ficksrtail states
total population to $4,000, which
demonstrates the wonderful pos
sibilities in North Dakota between
now and the taking Of the next

The Bishop of Boise.

! G ONE years ago it was the writer's
y pleasure TO listen to an evening
discourse delivered by the Bishop
/ of Boise in st. Mary's in this city. If
memory be urged to fix the season of
Bishop Glorieux's visit at the time il
yields TO the odor of lilacs and the ear
~ roses which come with TIE month
of May. 1t dwells upon group Of
children in white before the statue Of
the Virgin in our little church. Youth
ful voices are lifted in hymns of praise.
and when at last their Queen is
crowned, their jubilee of song has
ceased, We look to the main altar, and
there at the railing stands Bishop
GlorieuX- His face as radiant as those
of the children before him. For awhile
he is in his native Belgium as he
speaks to them and the congregation
present. Then he is in New York. out
in the far west, back again and over
Abe seas 10 the Eternal City. AT every
point in his running discourse some
fact in religion was brought out that
we never heard treated just exactly in
that style, and it seemed so original
so devoid of studied effect in descrip-
ton, so entertaining and instructive.
that the memory of that vesper dis
course is as fragrant as the Nav bios

One day last week a special mass

Robs the Hungry Poor.

C OMETIMES a man is robbed with
\ out knowing it. Other times he
is cheated, but blames himself as
much as the swindler. When he is
held up. not once, but every time he
sits at his table and looks at a plate
OF meat, then he is aroused to some
action towards Furnishing the robber
In most cases prosecution of the rob
Der fails. The robber has the most
money and can employ the best law
yers on his side to throw dust into the
eyes of justice. The court may also
be inclined to pick some flaw in the
law contemplated to punish such Of
lenders and declare the statute of no
effect because of conflict with other
and previous statutes. That happened
IN an antitrust prosecution by the
state of Illinois not long ago. The su-
preme court shot the Illinois law all to
pieces. Justice McKenna alone dis

The beef trust has been indicted by

The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-04-26

the suffering it's alleged misdeeds have
caused is most intense there.
The list of offenses charged is a long
one. 1t includes boycotting, blacklist
ing, the ruin of competitors, the re-
striction of supply, the regulation OF
prices, and the establishment of sys-
tenn by which all retailers of meat are
made it's servants. The broad charge
which sums up the asserted iniquities
of the trust is that it is d monopoly,
which has made meat dear and is de-
priving the laboring poor of a food
they need to maintain the efficiency of
their labor.
The Chicago Tribune, ever willing TO
give the devil his due, says that be-
cause of the odium which inevitably
attaches to trust it is often held
responsible for many things which are
not of it's procurement. 1t is not GER
tain that the burdensome advance in
the price of beef is due to the machi-
nations of the beef trust. Trusts do
not always operate to advance prices.
They do not always wish to advance
prices for fear of the effect on con-
sumption. They are satisfied some
times with the profits obtained from
economies in production and distribu-
ton. The greater relative advance in
the price of cattle on the hoOf than of
that of dressed beef goes to show that
Il scarcity of cattle has something to
do with the almost prohibitory price of
beef.
This much can be said about the beef
trust. One of its great objects-as
with the Standard Oil cOmpany-is to
crush out competition-to destroy the
small competitors. 1t is INSCRIPTIONS
in carrying out its policy. No doubt
and oppression have been
resorted to in smaller places, especially
in the east, whence come the loudest
No doubt local butchers,
on legitimate trade in d
fair manner and selling meat at rea-
sonable prices, have been driven out of
business by the methods of the trust.
1t has undersold them-has sold be-
low cost sometimes-in order to break
Town its rivals. 1t has adopted illegi-
innate methods to suppress competi
