If the results would compensate for such
an expenditure. The American cotton
growers and manufacturers Of cotton
goods should depend upon their own
enterprise for enlarging and extending
their exports. They have their associa-
tons and if they deem it desirable to
have n commission to study foreign
markets they can afford to create one

pay the cost. There are quite as good
reasons for commissions TO promote
trade in other industries as in that of
cotton. AS a matter of fact the com
mission expedient has been greatly over
done and has rarely proved of much

BOOSTING THE FRUIT BUSINESS.
Reduced Rates of Transportation
Promised for the Summer.

Chicago Tribune.
California fruits should be cheaper in the
markets of the middle west and east next
summer than they have been heretofore.
The refrigerator lines of the Santa Re and
the Armours, which together control the
business of transporting east the fruit
crops of California, have agreed on a con-
siderable reduction of rates. The reduce
ton per carload from Sacramento to Chi
cago will be SO and to New York $3.50.
and proportionate reductions will be made
in the rates from other shipping points
The cost OF transportation is large factor
in the market prices of fruits. This factor
being diminished the prices that it enters
into may be expected to come down.
The refrigerator lines have on several
previous occasions cut down their charges
considerably. They expect thereby to cause
an expansion in the fruit-growing business
and increase in their own profits; and
they have never been disappointed. There
is reason to believe that in the present
instance they are actuated by other mo-
tives. The prospect is that the ice crop
will be short and that, therefore, it will
cost more TO get this years fruit crop to
market than it did to handle last years.
The decision to cut rates in spite OF the
bad outlook for ice probably is largely, If
not chiefly, due to the agitation that has
been going on against the alleged extortion
practiced by private freight car lines. The
Spokesman of these lines have denied that
they were charging unfair rates or making
unreasonable profits. but their words have
not carried conviction. The lowering of
their schedules under present conditions
will be considered a concession to public
sentiment.
The reduction in rates from California
should be followed by diminutions in the
tariffs from other fruit-grOwing sections,
especially the south. II the rates that have
been excessive, as the refrigerator lines by
reducing them have admitted, then so have
been the rates on the fruit OF Michigan
and Of Georgia. Further reductions prob
ably will not hurt the refrigerator lines,
but may he expected to cause an increase
in the production and sale Of fruits, which
will be beneficial to growers, consumers
and transporters.

RETALIATION OF RAILROADS.

pose openly to punish the railroads for
obedience to a law of congress. In view of
the abolition of passes he proposed to cut

passes cost them as much as they pre-
tended he said, they would be no worse
off with no passes and $10,OO),OO0 less for
carrying the mails than they have been

ton for carrying the mails.

THE FIRE INSURANCE COMBINE

1t is to be hoped that the protest
lodged with the state auditor against
the Pe-licensing of some of the principal
IRE insurance companies doing business
i'll Nebraska on the ground that they
are violating the anti-compact and anti
trust laws of the state will result in
determining whether the operations of
this combine can be reached by the laws
now on our statute books. or whether
we must have new legislation to uproot
them.
1t is notorious that all the fire in
surance companies are banded together
so far as their business in Nebraska
is concerned so that it makes no differ
ence whether the person seeking insur-
ance on his property deals with one
company or another. In a word, they
have stified competition as completely
as if only one company were writing
policies instead of two score or more.
When the Nebraska anti-compact law
was first enacted suit was begun to
enforce it's provisions against the in
surance combine, but before the issues
were tried the insurance company law
yers devised clever scheme to evade
the provisions of the law by the estab-
lishment of n so-called inspection bu-
reau, which each company pretends to
consult of its own accord in quest of
information on every risk offered for
its insurance. In practice, the reports
of the inspection bureau, which poses
as an independent institution. are
as binding on each and every fire
the authorized agent of each COM
pany and the companies have gone
along writing their policies on the same
terms and at the same IA ties, and subject
TO the same mutual agreements not to
compete as they did before the anti
compact law was passed. Owners of
insurable property are absolutely at the
mercy of the so-called inspection bu-
reau, which has the arbitrary power,
though it may not always exercise it, to
raise or lower rates simultaneously for
all companies. to order the cancellation
of policies and to control fire insurance
in Nebraska without recourse
The point made by the protest pre-
ferred before the state auditor is that
if these fire insurance companies are
violating the Nebraska law they are not
entitled to be licensed to do business in
Nebraska. or course, the refusal of
licenses to all these companies and their
disbarment from the state is not what
is really wanted, but if there is any
way to break up the combine existing
between them and restore unhindered
competition in the fire insurance field
it will mean thousands upon thousands
of dollars saved annually to Nebraska
holders Of fire policies.

ASSISTED IMMIGRATION.


The report of Marcus Braun, special
immigrant inspector, the facts set forth
IN which have been sent to congress,
contains statements that should COM
mand attention. The inspector states
that he obtained incontrovertible evil
dence that while the number of aliens
shipped To this country who are legally
inadmissiblc because of disease is d.
mlnishlng, immigrants inadmissible for
other reasons are constantly brought
into the country in large numbers "by
the concerted action of some European
governments and steamship agencies,
by bankers. and schemers of all sorts
The report says that while these gov
ernments have laws ostensibly intended
to restrict emigration, instead of doing
so they actually encourage it. This is
and Hungary. He found in the latter
country hundreds of agents licensed by
the government carrying on a campaign
to get emigrants i'm direct and open vio-
ldIlOll VI hne ldNS. II dDptdIS luuI
there is contract between the Hun
garian government and the Cunard
steamship line for the transportation of
emigrants and naturally the government
and the company cooperate in encour-
aging emigration.
As to emigration from Italy TO the
United States, the government derives
n revenue from it in the sale of pass
ports and therefore does nothing to dis
courage. But perhaps the most inter
esting statement Is that three-fourths of
the immigrants that come to this coun-
try from Austria come under contract,
thus violating tht law prohibiting the
importation of alien contract labor. AS
to the statement that some foreign gov
crnments endeavor to maintain among
their people here patriotic interest in
their native land and seek to prevent
them becoming Americanized, there is
probably little substantial ground for it.
Mr.. Braun expresses the opinion that
violations of the immigration laws will
continue as long as there are agents and
subagcnts OF steamship companies work
ing on commercial basis
While we cannot have too much i'm
migration of the right sort, to quote
President Roosevelt. we do not want
that sort of immigration that comes
through the assistance of foreign gov
ernments, or that is encouraged to come
here by the agents of steamship COM
panles. In his last annual message the
president said: Adequate means
should be adopted, enforced by sufi-
cient penalties, to compel steamship
companies engaged in the passenger
business to observe in good faith the
law which fOrbids them to encourage or
solicit immigration to the United
States" He further urged that pro-
vision should be made for the surer pun
ishment Of those who induce aliens to
come to this country under promise or
assurance of employment. The evil
dence seems to be pretty conclusive that
in both these respects offenses against
our laws are being constantly COM
mitted. The immigrant who comes
here voluntarily and is admissible will
be welcome. He IS pretty sure to be-
come good citizen. But the govern
ment-assisted immigrant. or one who
has been induced or encouraged to COME
by steamship agent for the commits
sion there is in It cannot be relied upon
to become a good citizen.
