THE SYSTEM USED BY THE HAR- VESTER TRUST IN SECURING MONOPOLlSTlC CONTROL OF THE IMPLEMENT
 BUSINESS.
600 44oo

How is it possible for the Harvester Trust to secure a monopoly or the implement business?
 The object of this editorial is to point out definitely the far-reaching plans of the Harvester Trust, and to show just how it is engaged in deliberately re- ducing dealers and farmers to a con- ditiOn of absolute Subserviency to it's wishes. This cannot be told in single paragraph, nor in single column, but those who are interested, to whom it is not yet clear, will be willing to read to the closing sentence; and they are assured at the outset that they will then have full understanding of the one great, main, supreme plan of this $l20, 100000 Rockefeller Mccormick creation to destroy competition, to control dealers and farmers alike, and worst of all. to exact extortionate profits without fear of other capital it will have for itself. Those who are not familiar with the implement trade, and even some minimizing members of the trade, would say:
 "It is impossible. It cannot be done. The idea is ridiculous. Itis too large a proposition for one concern, no matter how large, to handle. The field is always open for any manu- facturer or capitalist who desires to enter the business. This is a big country, and there are plenty of farmers to buy from all the manu- lecturers; there are lots of concerns manufacturing implements, and the Harvester trust can never take the ments. No, it is absurd to talk of a monopoly of the implement business. J
 Those who think thus will think differently after reading the plan of operation carried on by the Harvester Trust-how it is enabled to take the trade from old-esta blished concerns and to close the door to capital seeking to engage in the manufacture of farm machinery and implements.
 A well-pOSted member of the trade would have no difficulty replying to the question in decidedly different manner. He would say: "The keynote of the whole thing is the grip that the Harvester Trust has on the marketing avenues. Just think a minute: the Trust already claims 90 per cent of the means not only that the Trust makes 90 per cent of the machines, but that the Trust is in direct business con- munication with 90 per cent of the dealers. The full significance of this fact may not be apparent at first glance but it is the foundation of the Trusts operations, as can easily show you.
 "Nearly all dealers handle harvest ing machinery. Many dealers got their start in the business by securing an agency for line of harvesting machinery, adding other machines and implements and developing into regularly established dealers with a

can market it's other lines, getting stronger at each step, because the more Trust goods dealer handles the more subservient he becomes to the dicta- tion of the Trust.
 At the same the Trust is in direct communication with every farmer in the country through it's canvassers, and has every farmer listed, together with data as to his resources and his needs Thus the dealer is less and less neces- sary to the Trust as an active sales IS reaching these same farmers with it's advertising and through it's canvassers, so how important is the dealer going to be, especially when he can be re- placed by merely taking his stock away from him and placing it with some enterprising young man, giving him an extra allowance of canvaSserS, if necessary, to make it a knockout blow to the abandoned dealer? How important is the dealer going to be? And how independent is he going to be?."
 But one think is very clear-the dealers and farmers are the ones who are creating this monopoly, for without their patronage it could not exist. Let each individual dealer, wherever possi- ble (that is unless the trust already has him by the throat)-let each individual dealer make up his mind not to buy trust goods. Don't leave it to the other fellow-you turn down the Trust goods yourself, or it will soon be too late. More than this, let the Dealers Associations take concerted action each Association and the National Federation. And let the National Assoclation of Agricultural Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers take action on a situation which threatens to destroy the industry in which it's members are engeged. It is time to do something. Soon it will be too late.-[ Implement Age.

Have you seen the new advertise ment of the Farmers Supply SJ Roof ng Co. that appears in this weeks is sue? If not you had better look it up for there are prices that are interest," ing to every user of moving machines. We would advise if you are going tC use anything of this kind that you get busy and get the machine while they are selling at this extremely low price. A word to the wise is sufficient.
 The history of the manufacture of harvesting machinery, particularly moving machines, and the history of the Worcester Buckeye Mower are most closely related. After over 40 years of continuous manufacture of mowers, with a record behind us of which any manufacturer might be proud, we announce the perfection of the Worcester Standard Gear Buckeye mower, as machine which in every particular SustainS the reputation of the past and is bound to gain us fresh laurels for the future.
 The story of the superiority of Wor- cester mowers has been told and re- told so many times, and the machines have so thoroughly demonstrated their superiority in thousands of tests, that the farmer, as a rule, needs little further talk. To the farmer who is not using Worcester mowers, be gov erned by the experience of many Oth- CTS who have tried various makes and have fallen back on Worcester mowers as the only reliable and the best grass cutting machines built
 The production of Worcester mow- CTS is unique in one respect in that their manufacture is Superintended by men who are not only skilled in mechanics, but who are also practical agriculturists, experienced in the use of harvesting machinery and knowing what the needs of the farmer are, have been able to apply such know ledge to the perfecting of Worcester mowers. It goes without saying therefore that the Worcester Stand ard Gear Buckeye contains every inn provement that modern ingenuity has developed, and the owner of one of these machines has got the latest and most improved machine built. Lyon & Grumman of 1923 Main street, Bridgeport, are the agents for these high class machines and solicit call.

A number of states that cast
majority of the votes for Roosevelt
as President elected Democratic
governors = Minnesota, Massachu-
sets, Missouri, Colorado; while in
Rhode Island, Washington and New
York the Republican candidate for
governor was badly scratched.
There is lesson in these results for
the politicians. The lesson is easy
to learn but may be comparatively
profitless for the persistent office
seeker is seldom the best man for
the office. The nominee for any Of
flee should be fit MANIPULATED to
perform the duties which the office
demands, fair and honest, and with
a disposition to hold and administer
it as public trust, to administer it
for the benefit of all and not for a

Suicides seem to be rapidly in
creasing. Few statistics of the mum.
Der the past year have been pub
lished but from the newspaper re-
ports during the year it has been
apparent to all that the number OF
suicides has been unprecedentedly
great. The report of the health de-
partment of St. Paul shows chat
there were 1876 deaths from unnatu-
raj causes 80 were from accidents,
40 were suicides, 6 homicides and 7
by poison. The year before there
were Is suicides in the city.

The Spring Valley Sun says the
JOURNAL ought to be ashamed to
say Pierce county pays state tax of
$I3,3o4 this year. Well, we will
correct the statement. The county
clerk says in his report see the
County Board Proceedings = the
amount of the state tax is SI2,3o3.-
SI,--Io cents less than what the
JOURNAL quoted. We have lin
gering suspicion that we put the 81
cents with the So 90 and called it
$500, not having in mind at the
time the critical accuracy of our
Spring Valley neighbor. Hohle
figures the "rate per cent of the state
tax at .ooI6oa6S" The report of the
county treasurer of Eau Claire coun-
ty is before us and in it is this item !:
ITO state tax, S22,46o.o6," and the
Spring Valley Sun says "The total
County and State Tax for Spring
Lake is $3,2oI.76."

Port Arthur.

The question that has most large
ly occupied the conversations of men
all over the civilized world for the
past few days has been the fall OF
Port Arthur, an event which Gull
minated on January 2. The siege
commenced near the beginning OF
last February and was prosecuted
with relentless vigor until its reduc-
ton. It was the most memorable
siege in history, considering the
strength of the place, natural and
artificial, and the fearful loss of life
entailed in comprising its fall. The
city and port are surrounded by
high hills, ridges and mountains,
which for miles back are crowned
with massive Notifications, con-
structed with the scientific apprehen-
sion of modern engineers, defended
by the most powerful armaments-
rihed cannon of large calibre, ma
chine, quick-firing guns, and sur
rounded by mines and barbed-wire
entanglements. Forty thousand men
defended these forts. Against these
the japanese presented force of
men as great as could be effective in
assault, with siege guns, hand gre
nades, ,bayonets-an army of men
reckless of life, with an assurance of
ultimate victory. The Russians
were reduced to a feeble remnant;
the japanese lost more men than
were engaged in the defense. But
the capture of this great stronghold
is an accomplishment that iustifies
the means of its conquest. Port
Arthur belongs now to the Japan
csc ssto have and to hold.'' There
is no question about it. What now
will Russia do, with the loss of its

Election Frauds in Colorado.

The political troubles IN Colorado
may rebound to the interest of the
people, inasmuch as the courts have
issued an order for sweeping in
vestigation into all the circumstances
attending the late election in the
city of Denver. The Republican
ticket was elected in Colorado with
the exception of governor, by large
majority. The Republicans claim
there were frauds in the election in
Denver that elected the Democratic
candidate for governor. A prelimi-
nary investigation made the Repub-
lican claim of crookedness pretty
certain. BY reason Of the frauds al
ready discovered three Democratic
candidates for state senator, who
were declared elected, have been
shown to have been defeated and
certificates have been given to their
Republican opponents. This will
give the Republicans majority of
both branches of the Legislature. 1t
will be remembered that two years
ago the Democrats of Colorado
changed the political complexion of
the state Legislature by unseating
two Republican senator's and giving
the seats to two Democrats, where
by the legislature was enabled to
elect a Democrat as United States
senator. The Republicans are now
retalliating, and there is even some
talk of appealing to the United
States Senate to have Senator Teller
over the Goals of an examination in
to his title for his seat.
1t is hoped the investigation into
the Denver election, held the 9Th of
last November, will be so thorough f!
as to leave no doubts in the minds |
of the people with regard to this al
legged fraudulent voting. The pur-
ity of elections is of primary con-
sideration.

The Russians estimate that the
taking of Port Arthur has cost
Japan $Ioo,ooo,ooo. Suppose Rus
STA should figure its own loss in the
premises? 1t must be two or three
times what it has cost Japan and be-
sides Japan wins the stake which
Russia loses. Russia's loss in the
destruction of her warships alone is
nearly double the amount it is al
legged to have cost Japan to take the
fortress. 1t must be admitted that
Japan has lost the most men, but in
material the loss has been almost
exclusively on the side of the Rus
slams.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1905-01-05

The losses in the assaults on the
great Port Arthur forts were fright
full. In the capture of the 2o3-meter
fort the Japanese are estimated to
have lost from 10000 to 10000 men.
The Russians acknowledge their
own loss to have been 5000. This
being so the loss of the assaulting
Japanese would seem to have been
several times greater. 1t is doubt
full if any nation other than Japan
could have taken Port Arthur in
ten months of siege, for no other ma
ton could have the heart to sacrifice
its soldiers with such reckless ex-
travagance.
