DEAR PEACEABLE THING.
That Is What the Legislative Invest
igation Finds Harvester Trust.

A report of the harvester trust inves-
LEGATION committee appointed jointly By
the two houses of the legislature has
filed its report The result of the in
vesugation has so far been that the
state has furnished number of free
rides Of harvester agents to Topeka and
has aided in the support of a stenogra-
pher or so by giving them something to
do. The harvester trust is implied by
which ought not to be further bothered
by the state. The report says:
Your committee finds that the inter
national Harvester company is a COM
pany organized under the laws of New
Jersey solely for the purpose of the
manufacture of mowers binders. head
ers and other implements, together with
binding Irvine. and that the same has
not filed articles of incorporation in the
state Of Kansas and is not permitted to
do business in this state.
Your committee further finds that
the International Harvester company of
America is a corporation organized IN
der the laws of Wisconsin for the pur-
pose of selling the products of the IN
ternational Harvester company and that
it has filed articles of incorporation
within the state and has complied with
the laws of this state.
Your committee further finds that
the said International Harvester COM
pany of America is not such a trust or
combination of ca-ital as is unlawful
void or against public policy.
Your committee begs leave to report
that 1t finds in several instances that
the price Of binders has increased from
s. to SO on each machine, and In other
cases that it has been lowered as much
as s. on each machine. The average
price on each machine is $3.50 higher.
Evidence was introduced showing that
the material used in manufacturing such
machines has advanced largely in price,
thereby indicating that the prices
such machines have remained about the
same"

PECK RAPS GOVERNOR.
General Counsel for st. Paul
Road PrOds La Toilette.

Milwaukee, March All the polite
fans Of the state are talking of the brief
which George R. Peck, general counsel
for the ST. Paul road. has filed in the
railroad taxation case He charges the
governor with using violent language in
his message. intimates he is a dema-
g0gue, and winds uD with more than a
hint that the governor was guilty of
representation for political purposes.
Mr. Peck said. ~ should like to IN

tered into in conformity with the law
passed by the last legislature, for the
purchase Of the southeast quarter of
section nineteen 80, township nine co.
range twenty-three (23) east, Leaven-
worth county, Kas-. which belongs to
the heirs of H. T. Green, deceased,
whereby this land is to be purchased
by the board of directors of the state
penltentlary, from these heirs, for the
sum of $4,000. This land consists of
100 acres; the north half of this is di-
rectiy east of the penitentiary grounds,
and separated from it by a narrow strip
of land, under which the state has
hereto fore mined all the coal on the
vein which it is now using.
This contract was submitted to each
one of the Green heirs and signed by
each one separately. and the testimony
OF the heirs whom we examined shows
conclusively that these heirs are to, and
Will under the contract, receive every
cent Of the $4,000, and no part of it viii
go to any other person whatever.
We, therefore, find that the article in
the LeavenwOrth Times, of February 8,
1908, is without the slightest foundation
in fact.
We find that unless the matter is care
fully investigated it might seem that
$4,000 is an excessive price for this $50
acres of land and. therefore. the trans
action, unless 1t is perfectly understood
might be open to some such suspicion
as contained in this article, but the tes-
tlmony taken by US shows to the salts
faction of the committee that from a
business standpoint, the management of
the Kansas state penitentiary did the
best thing for the state, in the premises
in contracting for this land. and in view
of all circumstances the price named
does not seem to be excessive.
