road commissioners, and to fix a maxi

OH oil. Last week it supplemented
these measures with the so-called anti
discrimination bill. designed to pre-
ve1t the Standard Oil company from
sitting competition by temporary cut
ting OF prices in various localities of
the state. The evil which this law
attempts to remedy is widely recog-
nized by economists as one of the most
vital in the whole trust problem. Thus,
for instance, Professor ]. B. Clark, of
Columbia University, in his recent vol
,lme on "The Problem of Monopoly
remarks that s"the difference between
a regime of uniform prices and re-
gime OF discriminating prices
maAes the difference between freedom
and oppression and the differ
ence between a sound economy and
an uncomfortable one" He adds that
if federal laws, or laws made concur
rently in the several states, made this
predatory competition unsafe, the To-
cal competitor might survive, and his
survival would afford a guaranty
against extortion." He concludes that
"a regime of uniform charges would
go far toward disarming monopolies. ;"
It is precisely the policy suggested by
Professor Clark and other economists
Tor trust regulation that Kansas is
Il ying to cary out in the anti-discrimi-
nation law. The statute forbids any
person, firm or corporation to discrimi-
nate between localities in the selling
price of goods, after equalizing the
distance from the point of production,
manufacture or distribution, and
freight rates therefrom." If complaint
is made to the state charter board that
a clporation is violating the law, the
boa1G is authorized to conduct an in
vestigation, and If in it's judgment the
corporation has been guilty of unfair
scrimination, it may revoke the char
ter Cf domestic corporation or with.
draw the permit of a foreign corpO-
ration to do business in the state. A
for every violation of the act, the sum
to be collected by suit brought in a
competent court by the attorney gen.
eral of the state. If the law can be
effectively enforced, and does not be-
come what Professor Clark has called
| merely a pious wish," it ought to
prove of great value in developing the
potential competition that so often
checks monopolistic exactions. It's ope-
ration will be watched with interest
by persons throughout the country who
are concerned with the possibility ol
the control of monopolies.- The Out

Will Win in Georgia

The old ring forces in Georgia are
bracing up and putting this man and
that man out as a candidate for gov
.ernor, feeling for the best taking bait,
and itebehooyes the populists to begin
to bestir themselves and do something.
Georgia is ours next year if we but
reach out and take it. The people have
been hoodwinked and honey-fuggled
as long as need be. The law built
and protected trusts and corporations
are eating us up. Are we to sit idle
and unconcerned and let them go on,
or are we men enough to measure
swords with the rascals and drive
them out? Go to organizing at once,
and join in the fight for Mollie and

Good Seed Corn

1t is important to farmers that they
secure good seed corn. Here's what
a farmer says about corn he purchased
from Ratekins Seed House, Shenan
doah, Ia:
Racine, Wis, Feb. 4, 1905.-The
Iowa Silver MineI purchased from
you last spring grew almost to a
grain, and made me a splendid
crop which made an average of 80
bushels. to the acre. This corn

Not Overproduction
The farmers are having many Sc

The farmers are having many SET
backs right now and we do not care
very much, for we must not make a
big cotton crop this year and the only
thing that will keep down big crop
will be providence. If providential
hindrances will keep us from planting
so much cotton, it will be a great day
for the south. We do hope something
will happen that will keep down that
great crop which we are bound to
make If something does not happen.
We used to say we could not make
thirteen million bales of cotton, but
we have done made them and ginned
them, and now I believe we can make
and gather fifteen million, and that
very thing will be done, for every fell
low will think, now is the time for him
to make his pile. But the good Lord
will take care of us.-Ozark Tribune.
Let the readers of The Standard SUBJ
ject the above to little rigid reason
ing in order that they may see if it
will stand the test The idea of the
Tribune writer is to make cotton less
plentiful and so enhance the value of
this lessened amount This argument
carried out to it's logical conclusion,
would result in the least possible
amount Of cotton being produced, in
order that the highest price possible
could be obtained for it. So little
raised, that it became a luxury that
only the rich could buy. If this were
found to be profitable for the produc-
ers of cotton, the same thing would be
true in the case of producers of all
other things and we should then have
a condition, where only the very rich
could buy and since the consumption
of production would fall off, there
would be a falling off in the demand
for labor to produce; this would re-
duce the earnings of labor and result
in still less demands for labor prod
ucts and so on in one round of ever
| tightening construction. 1t was the
politico-economic ignorance of Presi-
dent Harrison which advocated the
| idea that anything that was plentiful
was "cheap and nasty" So long as
there are people needing cotton goods,
| there can not be too much of 1t pro-
| duced, and there are millions of peo-

goods; many, very many more mil
| lions all over the world needing them
and if we have them, we can ex-
change with these people and both
| parties to the exchange, be benefited.
| What the planter most needs is not
high price for cotton, but just price
relative to the prices he has to pay
for those things he does not himself
directly produce. Free him from the
burden of taxes he now pays-owning
Is per cent of the total wealth of the
United States, he pays so per cent
of the taxes-give him free trade with
all the world and he will prosper
These are the things he most needs
and the men who are now advising a
reduction of cotton raising are working
at the wrong end of the line.-The

The French have loaned Russia $2,-

on that amount is about all the czar
