Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1906-10-19

The interstate commerce commits
sion is getting after the grain trust.
1t is now engaged in an investigation
at Chicago. Among the witnesses
examined was George Marcy, presi-
dent of the Armour Elevator and
Grain Co., who admitted that it was
the rule to fix prices on the board of
trade to be bid for country grain. He
admitted that it was not fair, and
claimed to have voted against it..
Another witness, |. p Rumsey, for
fifty years member of the Chicago
board of trade, declared he is sun
qualifedly in favor of grain dealers
associations, and in favor of discourag-
ing farmers in the elevator business.
He said it was not fair to the COM
mission men, who deal homorably,
and that this state of affairs should
not be allowed to go oa." Little by
little we are realizing the benefits of
the powers conferred upon the com
meree commission by the new law.
1t is unearthing condition in the
grain trade long supposed to exist,
but in such way that it could not
be reached by law. The benfits to be
derived by the people in connection
with the investigation of the grain
trade are reduction in freight rates,
which have already taken place, the
elimination of storage charges paid to
certain elevator companies on grain
passing through certain cities, was
the case with the Peavy company,
which was only blind way of help
ing the old line companies in competi
ton with independent houses. Think
of the outrage in making freight so
high that il would pay the railroad

The report in London is 20 the
effect that trouble is promised between
China and Japan over Manchuria.
Japan made war upon Russia under
the plea of self protection and for the
protection of China. 1t is hard to
figure out how the island of Japan
was in any way endangered by the
operations of Russia upon the main
land but that was the claim. All know
how that war resulted. For moral
and material support given by several
of the European countries and the
United States Japan promised an
open door to Manchuria. Up to date
the door of Manchuria was opened
just long enough and wide enough to
let Japan enter, and there is mighty
little prospect Of its being opened to

companies a profitable rate and as
high in some cases as | ] cents storage
charge to an elevator just because the
grain happened to pass through the
town where the elevator was located.
The elimination of such practices
means the saving of millions annually
to the grain producers of the great
northwest. Think, also, Of a board
of trade 500 miles from the grain
fields adopting rule and fixing the
price -llowed to be bid for grain in
the warehouses Of Independent com
panies and farmers elevators; fixing
an arbitrary price regardless of quail
ity or demand. When the interstate
commerce commission breaks up this
practice it will mean millions more to
the producers. A ceut a bushel is a
small item to one farmer, but it tmeans
millions to the whole. The reduction
of the rate on grain, which took place
August 9th, means about S600,00000
to South Dakota farmers on wheat
alone, putting the crop at 40,000,000
bushels. There is no way Of estimat-
ing the profit to farmers by breaking
up trust that fixes an arbitrary price.
1t may mean from a small fraction Of
a cent at times to several cents at
other times 1t means considerable
amount or the trust never would have
been f,rmed. Part of these things
are already accomplished and o. hers
are well under way. When anyone
asks you what the present administra-
ton is doing for the people, you can
refer them to few of these matters,
and the few millions annually placed
in ,he pocket of the producers.

the trade of the countries that were
so ready to pat Jal an on the back
and help it against Russia Now
comes the word that Japan intends
to move upon China. That will be
for the protection of Japan, also. But
the civiliz d powers will hardly look
upon this action of their yellow broth
er with the degree of satisfaction
which characterized them during the
Russo-Japanese war, The promise of
an open door in China will hardly fool
them this time. Japan has the land
grabbing fever, and it is only ques-
ton of time when civilized interests in
China will be endangered by the
covetousness of Japan.

All of these propositions have been
under discussion in this state and else
where for several years They were
fully discussed in public debate for
months before the state convention
met in June. They were directly in
issue at the caucuses held last May.
They were adopted by decisive ma
jority of 400 delegates in the state
convention. At the county conven-
tions held on Sept. Is they were rat
flied by forty-fi counties.
They now have the force of posi-
i've mandate to all republicans in the
state. No man who is elected tooflice
as republican can be honest with
his party and play false TO these prop
ositions. They come as demands di-
rect and fresh from the people. The
legislation proposed must be enacted
in honest and thoroughgoing fashion,
without trick or evasion. We shall
have before us laws of similar char.
acter enacted in Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon and
other states from which to frame prac-
tical and efficient statutes, and we
shall have no excuse to offer if we
fail next winter to make good every
one of these declarations.

GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD.
Proposed to Erect Many More Markers
and Tablets

II is the intention of the Gettysburg Ma
tional Park commission to preserve the
field at Gettysburg as nearly practicable
In the condition IL was at the time of the
battle. For that purpose over 10000 trees
have been planted and all the stone fences
restored. 1t is the intention of the COM
mission to erect corps division and brigade
tablets, giving the composition OF each and
its movements on the field during the
three days battle
IL is the purpose of the commission to sub
stitute bronze tablets for the present iron
tablets the field far the proper au-
thority Will be given to do So Also to erect
granite markers with bronze tablets there
on To the army corps OF the Army of the
Potomac; one marker to each corps, in
Guiding the cavalry corps The monuments
to be erected to the United States regular
commands forty-three in number. Will be
contracted for during the year. if proper
designs and satisfactory bids are received:
A bronze statue of Brevet Maj Gen.
George S. Greene will be erected by the
state of New York near the summit of
Cups Hill.
These statements are contained in the
s!sts of John F. Nicholson. Charles A. Rich
ardson and l. l.. Lomax. The commission
recommends the purchase of thirty-s' X

BIG TELEPHONE MERGER.
Plan to Connect Four tates and 100
Cities

1t has just leaked out that one of the
most important telephone deals in recent
years. which may have great effect in the
near future upon long-distance rates here
and in nearby states, was contaminated at
a meeting of capitalists held in Philadel-
phfa Tuesday and Wednesday of last week.
-. The American Union Telephone Company
was at that meeting brought into working
existence, the coWpa , having been incor-
porated at Harrisburg on May 81 of this
year.
= The new company, which is capitalized
at S5,O00,000, links together by purchase
and lease number Of Independent tele-
phone companies of Pennsylvania, southern
New York. northern Virginia. Maryland
ment the Keystone Telephone Company of
Philadelphia.
The new company will soon perfect a
long-distance service extending from Phila-
delphia to Baltimore, Washington and
Wheeling in the south; Pittsburg, Cleveland
and Erie in the west, and Buffalo, Roches-
ter and Syracuse in the north. Among
those present at the meeting were Rem
brandt Peale of New York CITY, Presidents
Peale. Peacock and Kerr, coal operators,
and j. Sloat Fassett of Elmira, N. Y.
Among the companies entering the merg-
ed combination are the Union Telephone
dozen counties in Pennsylvania and ex-
tends to the city Of Olean, N. Y, and the
York State Telephone Company, attracting
the principal exchange centers at Elmira,
Binghamton and Owego, in the state of
New York.

seems to me that it indicated a very strong
sentimental feature In connection with the
PRONUNCIATION of this Greater Washington
idea and sentiment isn't to be sneezed at

sort of rough, but 1t is the TRUTH. And
what's the use of fooling when were all

idea of trying to give. even in the briefest
way, bit of the viewpoint OF the pig

we've passed l gave it up long ago. It
would take every page of every EDITION OF

Perhaps it is the first time, but that is

This is just preliminary to the announce
ment that il this sort of thing keeps up
until we near. on our backward swing, this
Greater Washington, of which we are all
talking and for which we are working, this
commercial gateway to the south, I'm liable
to take off the lid and show what is posi-
BILE to express in circus posters language.
For the swing around the circle of The
Star Special has been successful to the very
topmost limit and I'm aching to say SO
without an 'if or but" or maybe
in the way.
The Rainbow is crowded to the doors now,
eighteen missionaries bunking under its
hospital rooftree last night with an over
flow of half dozen at a HarrisonburE ho-
tel. Mr.. Bond of the Baltimore and Ohio
will stay with us through to Washington
and is doing everything in his power to
help the game along. 'Tis rather odd, by
the way, that every railroad man we've had
with us for, even a day or so has boarded
the Rainbow in a skeptical mood and left
us later bubbling over~with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Burgess of the Southern is also here
and promises to stay till the finish Incl
dentally, I'm mighty glad, indeed. that Mr..
