cent session of congress Senator Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette of Wisconsin, re-
viewed the elevator and grain for
warding trust of the United States, in
an able manner. The following ex-
PLANTATION of the inner working of the
grain buying trust which extends all
over the United States, and which
maintains from one to three buyers
representing different" companies in
every wheatgrowing center, is from
Senator La Follette's speech in con-
gress. He said:
1t has been stated as result of
the investigation conducted by the in
dustrial commission. that the great
rain-producing sections of this coun-
try have been divided into districts
and allotted by the railroads to cer-
tain favored elevator companies, and
that those elevator companies,
through an alliance with the railroads
which excludes competition, have
been given the monopoly of the grain
buying throughout all of that terri
tory.
The testimony taken by the indus
trial commission shows that on the
Rock Island railroad Charles Counsel
man & Co. have been given special
privileges which enabled that COM
pany to obtain substantially monop-
oily of the grain buying business along
that line of road; that the Bartlett
Frazer company and the Peavy Ele-
vator company had such privileges
and such connections with the North
western railroad as to place them in
substantially TIE same position of ad-
vantage on that road; that upon the
Chicago. Burlington & Quincy road,
and the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul road the Armour Elevator com
pany maintained exactly the same
control of the grain buying business,
and that like favors We're given by
the Santa Fc railroad to Mr.. Richard
son, and by the Union Pacific to the
Peavy Elevator company.
The line elevators control the local
market. The local dealer" is per-
mitted to buy only a certain amount
of the grain that comes to his station
He is compelled TO pay the price fixed
and no other.
II the Independent dealer refuses t.
observe the trust regulations, the trus

As to the little unfortunates who are
classed as unE,vernable, who run
away from home, etc.-the fault lies
largely in the hume. Indifference,
neglect and Ill treatment are the
causes Of juvenile crime. Third class
