6CALPERS" HIT
BY HIGH COURT
& N. RAILROAD WINS CASE OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE AGAINST
CUT-RATE TICKET MEN.
EClSION IMPORTANT ONE.
cans That Railroads Can Stop "Scalp-
ing" of Tickets in Every Sec
ton of the Country.
AS LONG DRAWN OUT CASE.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec 1.-The
Ipreme court of the United States to-
~ decided the case of the Louisville &
ashville Railroad company VS.. Marcus
!. Bitterman and others, involving the
ght Of the defendants to engage in
.alping the tickets of the railroad com
any, i'll favor of the company, the de-
sion being handed down by Justice
White
The suit was originally instituted by
10 railroad company in the United
tates circuit court for the eastern dis
let Of Louisiana. That court held the
cket scalping practice to be wrong
ut decided that relief could only be
ranted in individual eases, thus requir-

nd both appealed to the circuit court

ecisiOn Of that tribunal was favorable
Q the railroad company, the court hold

HARD TIMES? LOOK
At FARMERS CASH.
MEN IN COUNTRY IN 1907 RAISED
CROPS WORTH $7,412,00o,ooo,
SAYS WILSON.
Corn Value Alone Exceeds a Billion Dol
lars, and Hay Comes Next with
an Enormous Total.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 30
This has been the farmers Thanksgiv-
ing. Regardless Of Wall street panics
or clearing house certificates, the men
with the bursting barns can congratulate
themselves on a years income of ST.
12,OOO,OO0 That is the total value OF
the farm products Of 1907, according to
the annual report of Secretary of Agrl-
cultural Wilson, just issued.
The farmer has more money to spend
this year and more money to invest than
has a greater money value than any
crop ever grown 1t is worth 10 per
cent. more than that of last year, and
twice as much as that of 1889.
Weather $5O,0OO,o0o a Day.
The fire fall weather, which city peo-
pie regarded without thought, mare the
farmer rich. Secretary Wilson says that
every good day was worth 2OOOO,OOO
bushels Of corn. 30,0O0,O00 pounds of
cotton. and the entire wealth production
OF the farm was at stake and was de-
pendent upon a crop growing season of
sufficient length. Every day of fine
weather was worth $5000O,OO0 to the
farmer and to the nation.
Corn Is the chief of crops, and four
tifths Of the worlds production is grown
in the United States. In value the crop
is above the high water mark of 1906,
and on the assumption that the crop will
be sold by farmers at an average price
not below the present one, its value is
estimated at 81, $50, 100000.
Corn Financial Basis of the World
Secretary Wilson points out that the
value of the corn crop Of eight such
years as 1907 would pay for duplicating
every mile of steam railroads in the
United States and pay for their costly
terminals, rolling stock. and all proper
ty. In thirteen years it would replace
the present banking power of this coun-
try in banking capital, surplus, deposits
and circulation, and in seventeen years
1t would replace the banking power of
the world
The hay crop comes second, with
value IF $G0O,OOOO0O, and the cotton
crop third with an apparent value only
a few millions less. The wheat crop is
Ola per cent above the average III value
amounting to little more than $780,
1000. During the last nine years
wealth was created on the farms Of this
country to the fabulous amount Of S53,-
900 100000.
a number of interesting comparisons
suggest themselves to Secretary Wilson's
.eport. Daily products are much more
valuable than any crop except corn and
are equal to one-third of the value of all
cereals The poultry products are worth
moro than the wheat. and perhaps as
much as the hay. The live stock sold
from the farms and slaughtered on them
is worth nearly twice as much as the
cotton CICp.
