The State Grange

At a meeting of the officers of the
State Grange held in Harrisburg to
confer ON the work for the coming
year.
In matters of legislation it was re-
solved to support the National Grange
in its demands for a Parcels Post,
Potal Savings Banks, and such legis-
lation as will prevent the manufactur-
er from selling his products cheaper to
the foreigner than to the consumer at
home.
All candidates for Congress will be
interrogated as to their position on
these questions.
In State affairs we propose to make
an aggressive effort for the relief of
real estate from unjust taxation by de
manding that the personal property
taxes and licenses now paid to the
State by the counties shall be retained
by the counties and that special tax
shall be laid on corporate property for
road purposes. The money thus raised
shall be so used as to put into operation
the law of 1897 known as the Hamilton
road law. The law of 1902 the Sproul
bill is regarded as unsatisfactory and
we shall work for its repeal.
No effort will be spared to educate
the people on the possibilities of the
Initiative and Referendem anu we
shall seek to have the Legislative sub
init an amendment 10 the constitution
incorporating it into our organic law.
Trolley companies should have the
right to carry freight and the grange
will do what it can to have that right
legalized. All candidates for the leg
islature will be asked to state their
position ON these matters.

THE GREAT MERGER CASE
A Blow at the Formation Of Trusts.
Several Affected

The Supreme Court Of the United
States in an opinion delivered by
Justice Harlan Monday declared the
Northern Securities Company to be
trust formed to restrain trade and
create Illegal monopoly. Some of the
points made are; ''Congress has
supreme authority and control of COM
merce among the states.
The Northern Securities Company
tended to operate In restraint Of trade
and as a monopoly.
Laws passed by Congress which are
in accord with the Constitution cannot
be set aside by any device or comblna-
ton created under the laws of state.
The natural effect of the Merger
agreement was to prevent competition
and therefore subject to the Sherman
act which embraces not only m0nopo-
lies which have been consummated,
but attempts to monopolize as well.
Ownership of a majority of its stock
constitutes the control Of a corporation.
The securities company clearly in
tended to establish a monopoly by
acquiring control of the stock Of the
competing railroads.
BY transferring a majority of their
stock to common trustee the two
railway companies have combined to
violation Of the act.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Holmes, Peckham and White dissent
ed, while Justices Brown, Brewer,
Mckeuna and Day concurred.

favor Of the Parker boom. 1t is con-

over anybody.

of the Honorable d. b. Hill.

was rather unceremoniously fired out
Of the House Of Representatives is
stated to be audibly chuckling over
the Reed Smoot situation in the

sible for that country TO carry out its
pledge Of evacuating Manchuria on

Patrons OF Husbandry

Lecturer Of the State Grange Patrons
of Husbandry A. M. Cornell of Austen
vile, Pa, contemplates trip to this
county some time in the future with
view to interest farmers in establishing
oranges. The objects of these organi-
cations are to advance the mutual
interests of farmers along financial,
educational and social lines, and in
some counties they are becoming a
decided factor. Any one interested
may address the state lecturer and
will receive literature giving an idea OF
the principles and objects of the order.
Almost every line of business has a
combination for mutual interest and
protection and farmers would do well
to investigate any thing which pro-
mises to secure for them advantages
