RATE REGULATION AND WAGES
The railroad labor societies which

The railroad labor societies which |
have protested to the President
against his railway rate-regulation
policy placed him in a rather en-
barrassing position. They said
that rate regulation would reduce
freight charges by the railways,
and that, as a consequence the
roads would cut wages. Unques-
tionably the effect on railway rates
which the labor societies point out
is the very effect which presents
itself most cOnspicuously to the
minds OF the general public.
But the President extricated
himself from the difficulty with
mastery adroitness.
He said said that his object was to
head off improper discrimination
by the roads between individual
shippers rather than to reduce the
general level of the railway char
ges. Comparatively little COM
plant of excessive rates come to
him, he said, but he had many
complaints of unfair treatment by
the roads to. certain shippers and
localities.
| According to the President, the
real evil to be eradicated is this
granting of special favors to ship
pers who either Fstand in" with
the heads of the roads, or who
reciprocate in monetary way.
These are mostly the larger ship
pers, and a majority of them are
in combinations or trusts which
the government has been fighting,
or which it is preparing to fight
This is skillful presentation Of
the Presidents position. None of
his spokesman, in or out of Con
gress, could have made such an
effective answer to the protest
which was presented by the labor
societies. The general public, how
ever, may keep on thinking that
; rate regulation, if adopted, will
operate chiefly to reduce the freight
: charges by the roads.
All that the President asks is
= power for the interstate commerce
commission or some other govern
ment body to hear complaints O
3 rates which they consider to bt
r excessive or unjust, and if the
commission takes the view of thu
complainants it will set some
maximum rates, and let the roads
e appeal to the federal courts if they
Y considered themselves aggrieved
e The discrimination between ship
t pers would be hit incidentally
Or the face of things the Presi
luent's policy is mild.
e Opposition to it, however, is de
e veloping in unexpected places and
on unexpected points.

Development of the Pecan In.
dustry In West Texas 10
Being Urged.

The development Of the pecan indus
try in west Texas is being urged BY
many familiar with the great returns
that can be had from the planting Of
this nut.
The tree will grow with very little
cultivation, and will bear for many
years, and experts say that no crop
yields better return, especially as
the land could be utilized for other
crops during the time the pecans were
coming to maturity.
H. A. Halbert, an expert on pecan
culture, says:
7 As i rough estimase we would say
that the area Of Lard In Texas on
which the pecan will, thrive, without
5crowding. is %. 900 900 acres. This vast
area will grow half . billion Of trees.
At low estimate of IS per tree as an
annual ineome, the total annual value
would be $500, ,O0O, 900. This, IN pounds,
would be SO. 900. .0OO, ,000, or 4 $50 900 car
leads, enough to supply the world, and
ID q few years to absorb its wealth.
T.Is estimate IS made upon bas:s Of

the low average rate In pr1ss and bear
Ing qualities Of the Texas wild pecan.
Suppose this area was planted In the
improved soft-shell varieties, and the
ruling price obtained for them, these
figures would be greatly augmented.
What are the actual facts, approxi-
mately, Of the area covered by the
wild pecans in Texas? We would esti-
mate it at about 500 square miles, or
81, 900 acres. From this area are gath
Grad and shipped, the best bearing
years. in carload lots, about 100 cas-, or
80, 0O0, 600 pounds. The quantity shipped
by express and consumed at home by
man and beast will make 10, ,000, 900
pounds. This quantity at five cents Q
pound should be worth to the state
81, ,000. 900. But prices are generally
low on these bumper crops, and per-
haps it actually brings only $1,000, 900
to the state In my opinion nothing
could be cultivated more profitably."

It is claimed that the Pekin duck
will thrive well without ponds. It is
true that the ducklings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams THAI when allowed to have ac.
cess thereto, but this is due to the fact
that most OF the dacklings are hatched
with incubators during the winter sea-
son, when the cold waters Of the pond
would call them and cause loss. Young
ducks will thrive better II they are
kept away from the ponds until they
are well feathered: but despite all
claims in favor Of the Pekin ducks as
being adapted to dry locations, my ex-
perience is that the adult ducks are
more contented when they have a pond.
