CLovERPoRT KENTUCKY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1906.
100000 FARMERS
STRIKE MAR. |.

Ind annapolis Ind, Feb. ga strike
OF the 200, 900 farmers composing the
American Society OF Equity, an organ
ization with headquarters in Indiana
polls, has been called for March 1.
Every one who responds to this call
will agree to withhold from market
ing any agricultural products except
ing at price that are up to the level
that has been decreed as equitable by
the officials of his organization, and
residents of the big cities may feel the
effects.
The word is being passed through
all the wheat growing States, and the
response that being made IS said to
be causing considerable concern on g
part ut market men and speculators.
A representative Of recognized au
tnority in the wheat trade was in In
dianpolis today trying to ascertain
what response the call was receiving.
This organizations claim that the
producers ought to got at least So a
bushel tor wheat, no matter what may
be the size of their crop. 1t is claimed
that the price for any agricultural.
commodity can be controlled by con
trolling the marketing
The call for the strike sets forth
minimum selling price on all farm
products, prices which the sgricultu.
raj strikers claim they are entitled
to and can get if they stand together
Kansas and Minnesota are being
flooded with copies of this call. 1t is
figured that if these States hold out
for the higher price the trick will be
turned, as Minnesota rises p big per
centage OF the spring wheat crop and
Kansas produces a controlling percent
age oft he winter wheat crop.

Shellman as Watchdog

The Frankfort corr respondent OF the
Evening Post says:
In connection with the revenue pill,
Representative Ed Sbellman, of
Breckenridge county, is rapidly gaining
the name as the watchdog of the treas
ury. AS the head OF the Appropria-
tions Committee. he has in his keep
ing all of the bills carrying appropria-
tions with the exception of the new
Capitol bill, and he Is holding onto
them like grim death waiting for the
result of the vote on the big bill of
the session. He absolutely refuses to
let go OF any of the measures until he
is convinced that there Will be enough
money raised to make them good and
neither threats nor pleadings are hav-
ing any effect on him. In fact, he is
rapidly becoming known as the man
with the MAJ ble heart. AS il requires
a two thirds vote of the House to call
the bills from the committee, it is al
together likely that he will be allowed
to pursue HIS own sweet, Will In the
matter, and meanwhile those back of
the normal school proposition and 9TH
er measures which require an outlay of
considerable cash are wondering when
their dreams of securing some OF the
States cion will come true.

CAUSE OF ALL OUR TROUBLES

CAUSE OF ALL OUR TROUBLES.
President Stuyvesant Fish, of the
Illinois Central, in an address on
Economy" at Louisville few
nights ago, gave it as his opinion
that many of the present evils of the
country may be ascribed largely to
the almost universal tendency of the
American people towards extrava-
gance. He also gave his hearers
some good advice to be applied to
government as well as domestic man
agement.
He said Wall street had a diseased
appendix and needed operating on;
that the interna, and public affairs
of the government were badly ad-
ministered, and that the centraliza-
tion of money power must be stop
ped. illustrating this by the three big
life insurance companies. He added
that there must be greater economy
practiced in the household Mr..
Fish said:
Turning to our general or public
economy, no one can examine the ap-
propriations made by congress. by
the state legislatures and by our mu-
nicipal governments without appre-
eiating that there is in each con-
spicuous and growing lack of econ
omy. There is not only waste and
extravaganza in administration, and
what is now commonly called graft,
which is a combination of bribery
and larceny. but. what is economical
ly worse. the laws are so framed as
not to get the best use out of the
taxes paid by the people.
what we have to fear is not so
much the magnitude of the appro-
priations as that our laws require
that an uneconomical and therefore
bad use he made of them"

was badly swollen. and caused him
so much pain that afternoon MI.
Tate insisted on his going to a spe-

his eye was in a very serious condi-
