RATE-FIXlNG
 IN THE SENATE

 President has loaned the prestige of his great name to the existing condition of affairs"
 MT Daniel favored the bills going to the appropriations committee and MT. Morgan to the canal committee. MT. Morgan read the first section of the bill relating to the issuance of bonds of $780, OOOOOO and declared that the whole issue is the intention of this section to make these bonds bankable.
 'When this has been done, there is nothing to prevent the President from turning his back upon congress" said MT. Morgan. "He could say to Con gress I don't need any more appropria- tions from you. I have $130,000,00O and that is all I needed.'
 The protested against referring the bill to an overwhelming Republican commit tee, as he termed the appropriation com mittee.
 After saying that he had no cause to fear the present appropriations committees Mir. Morgan continued:
 But there is a new generation com ing up which will serve on this committee, and If this precedent was established, 1t might take the same liberties with the treasury of the United States as the President takes"
 The bill was then referred to the com mittee on appropriations on yea and nay vote, 40 to 23.
 As result of the discussion precipi- tated by Tillman's bill, MT Bailey and MT. Foralxer resumed the debate. MT. Foraker referring to his contention as to the absence of decisions, sustaining

the right of Congress to delegate the rate-fxing power to commission, said the President recognized this in saying in his message that "the power should be conferred on a purely administrative body"
 The senator said that to call com mission. purely administrative did not make it so. however.
 Mir Foraker dwelt upon the difficulty of comforting upon the commission power to make rates, where competition is involved.
 Mr. Bailey expressed the opinion that any unreasonable railroad rate can be reached under existing law. He defended the validity of railroad rate-maklng legts- lation, saying the supreme court has ire quently upheld such legislation by the states, He considered a railroad com mission as an administrative body.
 The senate then at 4.vJ p. m. went into executive session and at 510 adjourned.

SPECIAL MEETING
 OF CITY COUNCIL Will Receive Report of Commit
 tee on Saloon License MEETS THURSDAY NIGHT It Is Understood That License Will Be Refused to Six Saloons In Close
 Proximity to Manufactur- ing Plant.
MEETS THURSDAY NIGHT

Ensley, December 1.-(Special) )-Mayor N W. Scott has called a special meeting of the city council for next Thursday night at 7:30 o'clock to receive the re- port of the police committee on appli- cations for license to operate saloons in the city of Ensley.
 It will be remembered that this com- mittee met at the city hall last Satur- day afternoon to receive applications for license and also to hear complaints that might be made against the operation of any particular saloon or saloons.
 About fifteen applications were received and it is expected that one or two other applications will be received before the meeting of the council next Thursday night It is expected that there will be less number of applications than last year.
 The report of the police committee will be of special interest from the fact that a report will be made on the objection of some of the manufacturing plants To- cated here to the operation of certain saloons on Nineteenth street and also
 
 on Avenue C.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron x Railroad company asked the committee to refuse license to saloons on Nineteenth street between Avenue A and Avenue c, and Chief of Police Suggs also made complaint against certain saloon between Avenue and Avenue D. The Alabama Steel & Wire company and the Bessemer Fire Brick company complained of a saloon at Avenue and Twenty-third street. In all complaints were made against six saloons, one at Avenue and Twenty third street and five, being all, between Avenue A and Avenue D. on Nineteenth street.
 The grounds for complaint made by the manufacturing plants were that the proximity of the saloons interfered mater ially with the operation of the plants ill that the employees slipped from the works and spent considerable time in the places when they should be on duty. The com plaint of Chief Suggs against the saloon on Nineteenth street between Avenue c and Avenue D was that crowds congre- gated on the sidewalk in front of the place and interfered with people on the street and made the way almost impassa ble for ladies'
 While the committee withheld it's de- cision it is understood from trust worthy source that it will recommend the refusal of license to all six saloons of which complaint is made.
 The matter has created considerable interest in this city and the final result in the council is a matter of much specu- lation.
 Captain Frank $. White of Birmingham and Attorney Frank Deedmeyer of this city represented the proprietors of the saloons in question before the committee and made strong speeches in favor of continuing the licenses to the places for another year asking that if the saloons are to be moved that at least one years notice be given so as to allow the people tol 4t.. fn, lao

The Columbia Sails for Colon.

Washington, December 1.-The navy department is informed of the sailing yes terday from the navy yard at League Island of the cruiser Columbia for Colon with 15O marines aboard. It is estimated the trip can be made in five days, giving ample time for the Columbia to land the relief detachment of marines embark the marines who have completed a two years service In the United States and reach home waters in time for Christmas. AL though it had been announced some time ago that the Columbia was preparing to carry down marines to relieve those now on the isthmus, her sailing yesterday gave rise to some unfounded reports about the object of her mission.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER AS
AN EDUCATOR.
"a Great Help to County Superintend-
ents" in School Work.
Mr.. Clarence III. Poe, Editor Pro-
L. .-...n,, d lni oh

Mr.. Clarence III. Poe, Editor Pro-
gressive Farmer, Raleigh.
Dear Sir:-Please find my seventy
five cents to continue my years sub
scription to your excellent paper. L
have been doing my best to get the
study of the elements of agriculture
into our public schools. The book
adopted is a model one. But In the
country schools, it is so difficult to
get a poor book out or a new and
good one in. But your paper Is
unique. / shall talk about it, and try
TO get it into more of our homes.
We could much more easily get the
textbook adopted into the hands OF
the teachers and children If a paper
like yours were taken and read in the
homes.
Our women teachers are in such
majority. even now, in our schools,
that there is an idea, almost pre-
valent, that women know nothing
about agriculture, and hence cannot
teach the book. Yet. for all the book
contains, a woman, if she would,
could teach it just as well as man,
or better. My wife, in her garden, is
a better farmer than / am-yet l
sometimes make addresses at agricul-
tural fairs!
The literary tone and cast of your
paper would commend itself to intel
lioent readers anywhere. So, in our
difficult work bringing the light
of knowledge into country homes,
and inspiring what is greater and
deeper, a love of knowledge in coun-
try children, / believe The Progress
sive Farmer. under your fine direc-
ton, will become a great help to
county superintendent. [ can say
this the more freely as | have no per
sonal acquaintance with YOU. [ am,
sir,
Very truly yours,
w. T. r. BELL,
County Superintendent.

How the Beef Trust Hits North
Carolina.

The wilmington Star, referring to
the loss sustained by Eastern North
Carolina by reason of the lack of re-
frigerator cars in which to transport
the strawberries lying at the stations
awaiting shipment, raises the inquiry
if it would not be a good idea to or
ganize private car companies here in
North Carolina "to get our products
to market" We have heard a broad
er-or narrower-suggestlo on the
same general subject, to-wit: the rail-
roads of the country have for two
years or more had more business
than they could handle by reason of
a shortage of cars. The car works
have not been able to meet the de-
mands upon them. Why, then,
would not the building of freight
cars be a profitable business in North
Carolina, where timber is abundant
and all sorts of woodworking is GO
ing on? High Point, which has late
ly engaged in the building of Street
cars-and they are as good as the
best-might think on this to advan-
tage.-Charlotte Observer.
Freight cars might be built to ad-
vantage in North Carolina, but the
refrigerator cars, which are neces-
sary to the berry and truck growers,
are another proposition. The man
who builds one of these in North
Carolina would find himself in the
fix that Robinson Crusoe was, when,
having with much work built a great
boat in the interior of his island
where the timber was. handy, found
that 1t was his labor for his pains.
because he had no way to get the
craft to the sea. The refrigerator
cars of the country, with trifing ex-
ceptions, belong to the Beef Trust.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-05-30
PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND COTTON PLANT.

and if there were a thousand such
cars idle in North Carolina belong
ing to other parties, the Atlantic
Coast Line wouldn't give ten cents
apiece for them, for the simple rea-
son that it would no sooner put a
lighted torch to the finest depot on
it's line than it would undertake to
operate one of them. Not only do
the allied packing houses of the
West, led by Armour, and known as
the Beef Trust, own the refrigerator
cars, but they compel the roads that
operate them to illegally chlsel the
shippers of the country out of thou
sands of dollars every day, which
goes into the treasury of the trust,
and not to the railroads. Since the
Beef Trust got control of the refrlg-
orator cars, they have not only muir
dered every other concern that dared
touch them, but have quickly sand
bagged every railroad that refused
to rob the public for them. The
Observer will notice in its own spe-
cial that the suits which are being
brought by the berry growers are not
being brought against the railroad,
as would be naturally expected, but
against the Armour Fruit Express
Company.
We have seen it stated in repu-
table publication that the illegal
money collected by the Beef Trust
through it's refrigerator car system
of robbery from the shipments of
perishable stuff in one season from
Wilmington alone amounts to $685.
600. This is one way that the Beef
Trust slugs North Carolina. Most
people think of the Standard Oil
Company as the manufacturer and
seller of kerosene that goes into the
lamps, and don't dream that it large
ly controls the. railroad, banking, in
surance and kindred lines of busi-
| ness of the country and is every day
getting a stronger hold upon them
all. Likewise, when the Beef Trust
is mentioned, there is a vague idea
| of something that butchers meat and
sells bacon, and no thought of the
| fact that it not only controls the
| meat market of the country abso-
| lutely, but nearly as completely the
| grain, fruit and other foods products,
and the average man would laugh if
told that the same institution comes
to North Carolina and lays its greedy
hands upon the poor huckleberry
pickers of the sand hills. But some
time the people will know all these
things, and the mere cry of Social
ism" will not sidetrack the matter.
