porations instead of the people.
It is an easy matter to bring them
to a realization of their duties.
Different organizations repre-
senting the shippers of this state
can compel relief if they will go
about the work in a business like
way. If shippers permit this
shortage of cars to continue year
after year it is their own fault.
Frame a bill and place it in the
hands of your representative and
senator and instruct them to fight
for it. Call upon kindred organ
izations to demand assistance
from those who represent them
in the house and senate. Make
the bill an absolutely just one, as
fair to the railroad as to the ship
per, but make it so they must
supply cars or pay the penalty.
There is nothing unfair about
such program and it is certain
ly unjust for the producers of
this state to lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually be-
cause transportation companies
insist on putting into dividends

Relief For Shippers

The legislature should pass a
law or by some means secure re-
lief for the shippers of this state.
During a residence of five years
in Colorado we have listened to
the same cry each fall season,
more cars; loss to farmers, stock
raisers and fruit growers, because
their product can not get to mar
ket." This wall of woe is annu-
al; it is unceasing, never ending.
If the railroads are causing pro-
ducers to lose thousands Of dol
lars each year because of neglect
to supply cars to transport stuff
to market, they should be subject
to damages equal to the amount
of loss sustained by the grower
with costs added. The legisla-
ture is composed of men who rep
resent the people. tits true that
some legislators, when given a
passport, get it in their heads

Clean Up.

Delta should have general clean up
before winter sets in. Our alleys are
a fright to behold. Tin cans. ashes,
manure piles, rubbish and litter of all
kinds can be found at the rear of nearly
every store and in the alleys. The In
DEPENDENT Office is guilty of having a
dirty back yard, but we have resolved
to clean it up and then make a strenu-
Gus effort to keep the premises in a
tidy condition. It requires no more
time to have things neat than to have
them otherwise and we would like to
see the town authorities enforce any
ordinance that may be available on this
subject. 1t is unsanitary, unsightly and
uninviting to have dirty town and
there is no excuse for it but neglect
and a slip-shod method Of letting things

What Is il That Gets Votes?
Telluride Examiner.


The boys at the court house were
talking the other day about personal
influence of candidates during cam
paign and the practice Of swinging
around the country with q box Of cigars.
etc. getting acquainted with the voters
and all that. Two interesting studies
along that line appear in the official alb
stract published elsewhere. 1t will be
remembered that when Alva Adams was
in the city he remained over day and
visited the Tomboy in binding snow
storm, one of the worst days in the hills
Of the year. He glad handed all the
boys, some two hundred in number and
democratic managers estimated that he
would get at least three-fourths of all
the votes in the precinct. He landed
just seventeen out of sixty. Another
case is that of Sheriff Rutan who went
to Turkey Creek in the same snow storm,
saw all the boys, took an awful cold,
and didn't get vote, not one. Just
what 1t is that gets votes is hard to
determine.

Child Labor Law.

we are gong 10 nave d ID"
prohibiting child labor. It will
be introduced by a republican,
will be passed by a republican
house and senate and signed by
republican president. Mind
that. Senator Beveridge has
stated that on the opening day
of the coming session Of congress
he intended to introduce bill
prohibiting the labor of children
thruout the country and bill to
make more rigid the present meat
inspection law.
He said the child labor bill will
provide that no railroad, steam
boat or other carrier of interstate
commerce should transport or ac-
cept for transportation the pro-
duct of any factory or mine that
employed children under IA years
of age. The bill. he said, would
provide that every carrier Of in
terstate commerce should require
an affidavit from every factory
or mine owner shipping its pro-
ducts that it did not employ chill
dren under ID years of age, the
form of the affidavit to be pre-
scribed by the department of
commerce and labor or the inter-
state commerce commission with
heavy penalties, both civil and
criminal for violation of the law.
The bill, if it becomes a law, he
believes, will stop the practice of
running future citizenship by
working children of tender age
in factories and mines. There is
no other way, he said, to reach
this growing evil.
A federal statute cannot be
passed directly controlling the
factories and mines in the states.
That is the province of the states.
But congress has absolute power
over the railroads, boats, ships
and other agencies Of interstate
commerce, and unlimited power
under the constitution to provide
that they shall not carry the pro-
ducts of factories and mines that
employ children.
The bill to amend the meat in
spection law will require the put
ting of the date of inspection on
every can Of meat produced, and
the packers to pay the cost of in
spection. These two provisions,
he said, are demanded by the
people, and agitation for them
will not cease until these provis-
ions become a part of the law.

The Cities Against Home.

The farmer has seen many changes
in the manner of the controlling and
the conducting of business in the past
few years. From the tiller of the soil
being able to control the markets of
grain, that power has slipped from him
until it is manipulated by the grain op-
orators of large cities. He is uncertain
as to whether he will receive adequate
compensation for his efforts. The lat
est effort in the concentration of busi-
ness in cities is to take from the farmer
and residents of the smaller towns their
opportunity to buy their necessities at
home and require them to send their
money to cities. Perhaps the strongest
factor IN this destruction of home mar
kets is the concerns known as catalogue
houses. Their aim is to, if possible,
drive the retail merchants located in
the towns of all states out Of business.
The home merchant has repeatedly
complained to his patrons and asked
them that instead of sending their mon
ey abroad for what they need, to give
him the opportunity of filling their or
ders and has offered to do so at prices
as low or lower, for the same quality Of
goods as that offered by the catalogue
houses
Our members of Congress have been
aware of such conditions and every one
of them are bitterly opposed to any
change in our postal laws, which would
give the catalogue house stronger
hold on the trade of the country. These
congressman are not narrow minded
men, but have been drilled in the re-
lentless mill of years of experience.
One of the Iowa congressman has made
the remark that he is opposed to the
encroachment of the catalogue house
on the home merchant for the good rea-
son that in the sending of money to an
unseen and unknown merchant, gives
that merchant an opportunity to prac-
tlce INSCRIPTIONS tactics upon the una
suspecting customer.
AS we have said in the beginning of
this article it is the object of the pro-
moters of the catalogue house to drive
the home merchant out of business and
if they succeed in doing so, it means
the running of our beautiful and home
like towns. When you have depleted
the home town you have done much to-
ward depreciating the value of the farm
lands. So this is question that not
only is of vital interest to the retail
merchant, but it is of just as much in
terest to the citizens of our towns and
to the farmers. 1t would certainly be
a deplorable condition If we were
obliged to send away for the most Of
what we need because our home mer-
chants have been driven out of business
by the catalogue houses.
These concerns must pay for their
goods just the same As the merchants
at home, and someone must pay the
millions of dollars they spend every year
in advertising their business. On top
of this expense is The thousands upon
thousands of dollars they pay every
month for rent of the buildings they
occupy, besides the additional expense
of an army of clerks. The home mer-
chant is not called upon to meet any of
these expenses.
1t seems the most of US should have
inbred pride enough to prompt US to
trade at home.
