IOWA FARMERS UNIONS
Plan of Banding Together to Market
Produce and Purchase Supplies
Grows in Popularity Rapidly

6TOWS III popularity ndpiuiy
Iowa City, la. The present year
has witnessed the growth of cooper
alive movement among the farmers of
Iowa, the like of which has not been
known since the now famous grange
organizations of twenty-five years
ago. In many of the northern cen
trail towns in the state organizations
of farmers have purchased elevators,
shipped their own grain and live
stock, bought their own coal and in
many instances purchased the major
ity of their supplies through COM
bined acquisitions to the mail order
houses in Chicago
AS usual thing these local COM
panies, while maintaining an indie
pendent management, are affiliated
with the State Cooperative Associa-
ton, and are organized by G. e. Mes
serole of Gowrie, who has been act
ing as the agent of the latter body.
Pick Out Small Towns
For the most part these companies
have been formed in the smaller
towns, one of the most successful ex-
amples being at Dougherty, but during
the past few months the agents
Of the state association have invaded
the larger cities and have organized
locals at Hampton and Iowa Falls,
two cities in Franklin and Hardin
counties of about 1000 population.
The plan of organization followed
is the same in all cases. An agent
of the company goes to the city where
the state association wishes to install
a plant and visits the farmers in the
vicinity, explaining the proposition. A
meeting is then called and stock sub
scriptions are taken, the company be-
ing organized, usually for about $4,000.
The organizers count on securing 200
farmers in the company, and they
generally get them.
After the stock has been subscribed
the new local either buys or builds
an elevator and with an elevator man
hired for $50 per month and the cata-
logues of four or five mail order
houses in the elevator Office, the COM
pany is ready for business.
Market Own Products
All of the grain and live stock
raised on the farms of members OF
the company is then marketed In Chi
cago. the members of the company
being paid the amount they bring
there minus small per cent for oper-
ating expenses. In places now in
operation it has been found that the
members receive from to Is cents
per hundred more for their live stock
and from to cents more per bushel
for their grain.
But in every city where the compa-
MES have been organized, the retail
business has been seriously crippled,
and property values have shrunk about
25 per cent. 1t has been found that
every member of the company will
purchase all of his supplies, from
sugar to Easter hats, from the Chi
cago mail order houses. Every week
the elevator agent will make out a
large order for the members of the
company and the shipments of the
mail order goods into many of the
elevator points will
to carload week.

UNMASKS STANDARD OIL
Garfield Report in Congress Showing
Railroads in League With Corpor-
alton to Crush Competition

President Roosevelt gave to con-
gress last Friday the long expected
proofs of the system of secret rebates
and open discrimination by the rail
roads which have enabled the Stand
ard Oil company to build up the great
est monopoly in the world.
The proofs sent to congress were
contained in report made to the
president by James R. Garfield, COM
missioner of corporations.
Piles Proof on Proof
Mr.. Garfield after an exhaustive in
Quiry lasting fourteen months and
covering every oil field in the United
States, lays bare system of rebates
which almost staggers belief He
shows that the railroad companies OF
the country return to the Standard
Oil company every year in rebates
more than 100000.
These rebates have crushed out COM
petition in many fields and limited
it in others.
Under the system the Standard Oil
company is able to- add as much as 5
cents a gallon TO the price of kero-
sene. AS Mr.. Garfield points out,
half a cent gallon is considered a
fair profit, the profit of the Standard
Oil company is not only enormous
but exorbitant.
Railroads to Be Prosecuted
President Roosevelt, in his message
to congress, calls attention to these
plain violations of the law and an
nounces that prompt prosecution OF
the guilty railroads will be undertaken
by the department of justice as soon
as congress passes the pending bill
to correct the Interpretation of the
immunity provision rendered in Judge
Humphreys decision in the Chicago
beef packers case.
The president says, too, that the
railroads should be permitted by law
to unite for the protection of them
selves and the public against the
Standard Oil and other great corpora
tiOns.
He also urges laws giving the inter-
state commerce commission more
power to examine the affairs of
railroad as thoroughly as bank ex-
aminer investigates bank
Stunu to Quick Reply
President Roosevelt's message and
Commissioner Garfield's report had
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-05-10

the unexpected effect of singing the
Standard Oil officials to a quick and
sarcastic reply. Last night Henry H.
Rogers and John D. Archbold gave to
to the public remarkable statement,
sarcastic in it's reference to the presi-
dent and blunt in its criticism of Mr..
Garfield In opening it's statement the
oil magnates say:
.One does not care to handy words
with the president Of the United
States. Il is not easy to diiferentiate
between Mr.. Roosevelt, the president,
and Mr.. Roosevelt, the individual He
has given us his advice most gener-
ously on every subject from the size
of our families to the mistakes of
federal judges, and some error is in
eyitable now and then to the most
conservative man under such circum-
stances"
Deny They Get Rebates
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Archbold deny
the Standard Oil company has received
or is receiving rebates from the rail-
road companies.
They say if the railroads have vio-
lated the interstate commerce law
it is none of Mr.. Garfield's business.
They ask why the Interstate commerce
commission has not prosecuted viola
tors of the law
They claim the right to a lower
rate in many instances, because they
have been enterprising enough to lay
mir linz hi of h
not.
They say that of the 23,000,000 bar
rels Of oil controlled annually by the
Standard Oil company 100000 bar
rels are exported, and that the Amer
lean public has no concern with the
price charged the foreigner.
MesSrs. Rogers and ArchbOld close
their reply to the president with these
words:
THE grief which the president ex-
presses in his message over the liza
bility of the railroads to combine and
protect themselves from the shippers
probably will arouse amusement
s'The president says respecting this
investigation that the facts are not
in dispute, only the differences are
disputed. The Standard Oil company
furnished the facts, and man with
a muck rake dug out such as, under
his manipulation, he felt would prove
damaging.
s'The Standard Oil company has
been investigated over and over again
at the instigation of its rivals, and
it always welcomes such investiga-
ton when conducted in good faith and
fairly. We are engaged in large
and honorable business. We are con-
Quoting it honorably, and, we sincere
ly believe, in conformity to law"

COMMISSION OPENS
PEAVEY CASE AGAIN.
Complaints Of Other Roads
Against U. P. Brings Re-
view of Matter.
Ry w, w. Jermane.

Washington, July 26. Interstate
Commerce commission has reopen
ed the Peavey elevator case, involving
contracts between Peavey & Go. and the
Union Pacific Railroad company for
handling grain at terminal points on
the latter road, and will hold hear,
ing on it at some time to be fixed
later in the summer.
The order for reopening was based on
the application of the Chicago, Great
Western, the Burlington and Santa Fe
roads. They make specific allegations
that the contract between Peavey and
Union Pacific, under which the charge
has seriously reduced their net and
proper revenue, and in creating an adj
vantage in favor of Missouri river
grain markets of which advantage other
markets and dealers have been COM
planning.
The petitions also calf attention to
the fact in the decision rendered by the
commission last summer, this matter of
contract was not proper subject to be
on complaint, but was simply an ex-
parte proceeding initiated by the com
mission. .
In the decision to be reviewed com.
mission held that the big compensation
paid for elevator and transfer service is
not unreasonable; that the Union Paci
fc is entitled TO perform the work it
legally at fault or guilty Of wrong do
ing because, incidentally, those EN-
ployed by the carrier to transfer grai1
are aided more or less in another lint
of business in which they are engaged
that any injury or detriment resulting
to rival carriers under the arrangement
is something which the law does no
seek to prevent. =

terested herein have an opportunity t,
present further testimony and argumen

born legal battle, backed on one side
by the wealth behind the alleged ice

the resources of the state, is expected
to result from finding by Attorney
General Sturdevant that an illegal COM
bination of ice dealers exists here and
the determination Of District Attorney
Otto Bosshard to prosecute the ice
dealers. t
Attorney General Sturdevant finds
from evidence furnished by Mr.. Bos-
shard that FIVE local ice dealers held q
meeting and fixed prices Illegally and
in restraint of trade, and that an Of
tense had been committed in carrying
out scale of advanced prices, in some
instances three times higher than the
former prices.

pany, who is credited with speaking
| for those alleged to be in a combina.
| ton, denies that any agreement exists
and says the advanced prices are due
! to an increased cost of production, and
that the ice dealers will fight the case
to finish.
One of the strongest bits of evidence
against the alleged trust organizers il
said to be contained in an issue of 9
local paper in which an announcement
Of the agreement to raise the prices OF
ice and maintain uniform scale ap
