THE beef trust. conceded to be
the most gigantic conspiracy to rob
the people ever invented. exceeding
in greediness even the Standard oil
combine. has been declared under
the ban by the United States su-
preme court. and it clears the way
for Mr.. Roosevelt to force not only
the beef combine but the railroads to
give the people a square deal. The
square deal" is the most promi-
nent question before the American
people to-day. and in Roosevelt the
people have a strenuous champion.

II. w. Campbell. Of Lincoln. Neb..
who has achieved wide fame rs the
originator Of the Campbell system"
Of cultivating and crop raising in
the semi-arid regions Of the west
where irrigation cannot be prac-
ticed. arrived in Lamar this morn
ing to inspect the lands in this
vicinity with view to introducing
his system in Colorado.
Mr.. Campbell began = systematic
study Of farming in the semi-arid
section Of Nebraska q number of
years ago. and has gradually per-
fected his system until he now
raises crops that average from 3 to
50 per cent more in yield every year
than those which are grown under
the old methods. Mr.. Campbell has
written a book detailing his method
of plowing. seeding and cultivation.
Over 10000 copies Of this work have
been sold. and the Campbell system
has been introduced with success in
many sections Of the west - q
result.
Mr.. Campbell secured data re
garding the annual rainfall here
from the local observer Of the
weather bureau. and went out today
to look over the lands lying above
the ditch lines. He expresses The
belief that the lands in Prowers,
Bent and Baca counties Outside tn
ditch lines could be made to pro
duce good crops with tie sves.gs

the old maids sang. Unto US child

He insisted that the constitution
and statute of Missouri as decided
by the supreme court Of our state
on November II, 1908, plainly
contemplated only mileage basis
of rates and that tariffs founded
upon any other basis are plainly
illegal as we'll as unjust. He said
that even If the Legislature were to
accept the statement of the railroad
representatives that the new bill
would reduce rates 30 per cent, they
would find that the maximum rates
prescribed by the bill were not less
than the railroads 3 joint tariff rates
on Interstate traffic, and since they
had all testified that interstate traffic
is SO per cent OF the whole, then the
reduction, according to their own
words, would apply to only the IA
per cent remaining, or the domestic

traffic, and that SO per cent reduction
upon only IA per cent of the freight
business Of the roads would hardly
be likely to produce the disastrous
results predicted by Mr.. Bird. But
he said that even these figures were
misleading since the IA per cent do,
mestic traffic included all freight
having Its origin in Missouri river
points and its destination in Mlssiss-
ippi river points or viee VsrSa; and
since this translate traffic is done
at rates In no case lower than the
Interstate rates, it could hardly he
pleaded that this traffic is unpro6t-
able. What the bill proposed to do,
be said, Twas to enforce the mileage
basis, to enforce the observance Of
the classification, and to fix maxim
um rate SO near tbe mean sctual
rates fixed by the roads themselves,
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1905-02-11

that 1t would be impossible 70: them
to discriminate against interior towns
and communities, destroying private
business by excessive rates for
short hauls, higher rates ia one d.
rectiOn than IN the other, higher
rates for shorter distances, and varl-
GUS abuses which serve to make all
kinds Of shipping business precarious
at small places where there is no
railroad competition.
Mr.. McGrew had tabulated vast
mass Of freight statistics from which
he showed that t, rates established
by the Speer. Dickinson bill instead OF
being runious to the roads, weie high
er by 25 per cent than the rates for
the san distance on the Wabash,
B. & o., the Illolnols Central and
the L, g. N. and all railroads
In Illinois. The conclusion SEEM
ed inevitable from Mr.. MCGrew s
argument that the proposed bll.
would cause very little disturbance
In the rates Of that part of freight
traffic from which the representatives
Of the roads said th ir chief remuner-
alton came, but that it would serve
60 prevent the destruction Of the
business OF shippers in small places.
This was illustrated by numerous
examples, one was that Of the Lex.
Ingtcn Brick Company which, be said
had paid rates nj 10 cents, so cents,
and 81 20 on shipments to the same
place, within the same year, while
the rate to this place on coal, which
belongs to the same classification
u nder the law, was 40 cents.
Mr.. McGrew was warmly congratu.

Senate upon his preser tation Of the
case Que senator, not a member of
the committee, SAID to Mr.. McGrew
after the hearing: "You made 1t
clear as day. The bill is right and
will pass"
1t is confidently believed that this
bill will pass both House aud Senate,
though it is likely that the railroads
will make a hard fight in the Senate.
