Only One Wny

The object Of The Independent has
been to show the absurdity of this talk
about railroad control" 1t involves
contradiction. If the government
has a right to regulate one kind of pri-
vate property it HIS right to regulate
all kinds. If it can say that a man
who invests his money in a railroad
can not fix the price of his service and
the commodity he has to sell, it also
has the right to fix the price of the
service and the commodity of the man
who puts his money in farm. The
principle is exactly the same. To get

ital stock only amounts to 100000 and
James H. Hyde owns 81 per cent of it,
which gives this young high flyer the
management of over five hundred mil
lion dollars of money to invest, and
insurance to the amount of 1900 mil
lions. When young Hyde, who inher-
tied this stock from his father, gave
d hundred thousand dollar dinner at
which the performance OF the Little
Egypt at the Sceley dinner in the

there was row. The knowledge that
the savings of millions of people are
at the mercy of this young butterfly
OF fashion is not pleasing one, and
the prospect that the Equitable had
reached point where the public would
no longer patroniza it caused some of
the more sober ones connected with
the company to advocate change Of
it, organization so that policy holders
could have voice in the election of
directors. But the Independent believes
that back of all this is the use Of the
I..any millions Of the Equitable funds
by trust and loan companies connected
with Wall street, as market for rail-
read bonds and stocks of the big trusts.
1t has even been suggested that r
Fl. Hartman be elected president of
the Equitable, AMI thus turn the whole
affair over tc the Standard OIL crowd

out of this dilemma the railroads are
called quasi-public or semi public prop
erty. That is another absurdity. II
they are semi-pu5Iic property the pub
lie should own one-half the bonds and
stocks and have calf of the board Of
directors, which is never the case. All
the bonds and stock is owned by pri-
vate parties and none by the public.
The truth of the matter is this. The
railroads are no more capable of pri-
vate ownership than the wagon roads,
the highways on the sea or the rivers.
They are in their nature public, not
semi-public property. The public has
as much right in the highways as it
has in the air or the sunlight. Man
has a natural right to move about on

The Philippine

From several remarks made by re-
publican members In the house during
the last few weeks it is very evident
that that body is in a mooa, privately
to award handsome prize to any one
who will point out a decent and hon
orable way for us to retire from the
far east and relinQuish our obligations
III our colonial possessions.
George E. Frost, chairman of the
committee on naval affairs remarked
very bitterly the other day after a
fight on the MAYA appropriation bill
that: ''At least one-third of great naval
outlay was attributable to our posi-
tion in the Philippines" Another mem
Der of congress said in discussing the
same subject: I'VE are like the man
who had the bear by the tail, we can [
let go and we can't hold on Both
members of the he use and senate are
saying: I'VE set ITO the greatest mess
in all our history when we took the
islands, but now hat we have got them
we must hold on until we find a chance

prevent her from taking them. OF
course, if Uncle Sam got his dander
UP we could go over there and retake
them, but | think it would be hard to
inflame public sentiment in this coun-
try sufficiently to make that recon
quest possible.
The readers of The Independent will
remember how often it declared when
the republicans had the imperial craze
that the acquisition Of the Philippines,
instead of being defense in time of
war, would be weakness, and that
il would be almost impossible to hold
eHelH anu ueleuu our OWN COASTS
against any great power.
But the republican leaders have had
fashion whenever fad struck them,
whether financial, domestic or foreign,
to declare that every man who pointed
out their folloy and madress, was a
traitor and a cOpperhead. And every
mullet head whel he heard the declar-
alton answered back: yep, that's So"

proposed moderate maximum freight

smiles a quiet smile?
This attempt in Kansas to down mo-
nopoly and .re-establish competition
has given heart to those who have been
robbed for so many years in other
states and they have mustered up cour-
age enough to attack the trust also.

be no final relief and these Kansans

out to fight the trust will find that
there is none, until the government

EDITOR CouR1ER-DEMocRAr:-
We, the citizens and taxpayers of the
City of Langdon, call upon the mayor
and council to publish the proceedings
of the city council.
We want to know, and we now demand
that we be informed where u money is
being spent, and how it is spent. 1t is
only fair and just that the said proceed
ings be published according to law. In
justice to the taxpayers We now demand
it.
We want to know if bonds have been
sold, and if so, at what price. We want
to know what the city is paying for sup
plies, and also what is being done with
our money. We want to know what
this electric light plant has cost us late
ly in repairing the boiler, and what the
work has cost on same. We want to
know what is paid for nails, lumber,
labor on the streets, coal. etc.
We want to know why supplies are
not furnished by the lowest bidder.
What we want is to have the proceed
ings of the council published so that the
taxpayers will know where their money
is going, and we think that it would be
to the interest of the council themselves
to have the same published, without be-
ing asked as it may AVE them from
| much adverse criticism.
We do not wish to say at the present
time hat our taxes have been misap-
propriated, but there are a great many
rumors going around, and we think it
would be to the interest of the council
themselves hat the proceedings be
published.
If they are not published soon re-
course to the courts will be our remedy.

The following clipping tells the ex-
perience of a farmer near Neche with
bromus racemosa. an inferior variety of
bronze grass,commonly called"chess and
a noxious weed of the very worst type.
From the fact that quite a number of
Cavalier county farmers were purchasers
of this kind of seed last year and no
doubt have undergone a similar dis
appointing experience the item will
int erst many reagers:
Several years ago Joseph NORM pur-
chased a quantity of what %purported to
be bromus inermis seed. which he de-
signed to SOW for hay and ~pasturage
purposes. the stuff throve we'll and yield
ed abundantly, but OF late Mr.. NORM
has discovered that it was beginning to
over run his farm and rapidly becoming
ing a nuisance, which caused him to
doubt It's being the genuine bronze grass.
Accordingly he sent a sample to the ex-
perimental station at the state agricul-
tural college at Fargo with a view %
having it classified and was both sur
prlsed and chagrined to receive the in
formation that what he had been cult
waiting for bronze grass was bromus
racemosa. commonly called "cheat" or
chess which is a very bad annual
weed that drops its seed like wild oats
and hence keeps the ground full from
year to year. The only way to get rid of
this pest is to cut it green and burn.

The thousands of farmers of North
Dakota who are engaged more or less in
raising fax are 10th to see the fibre in
the stalk, which in some sections is fully
as valuable as the seed, going utterly to
waste here, simply because there is no
market for it within a reasonable dis
lance. Now that the fact has been
established that fax fibre makes an ex-
cellent grade of binding twine it seems
as though a way might be found for
utilizing the straw of the North Dakota
fax crop for binding the North Dakota
wheat and other cereal crops. The cost
of binding twine is a very material fac
tor in the cost of raising wheat and this
state alone uses millions of pounds an
nually. The International Harvester
company has preparations under way for
the erection of a large plant for the
manufacture of fax Irvine in St. Paul.
The outcome will be watched with con-
siderable interest and if feasible there
is no reason why such a plant might not
be established in Langdon, for instance.
