After the Hen-Bent Brigade.

With exceptions here and there. the
newspapers of North Carolina have re
fused to endorse the radical Legislation

act This is Ind I'D gratifying. Very

alarm the present attitude, for il IS
plain that 1t will not only have a dis
astrous effect npoL business, but will
injure the democratic party and turn
men TO the republican organization,
just as it will force scores and scores
of industrial concerns to quit the state.
The unanimous voice of the democratic
press is for conservatism.
We do not wish to be understood
however, as saying that all Of the state
newspapers hold these or similar
views. What we mean to say is thar
the majority feel that way about it
and they refuse absolutely to follow
the lead Of one that would bring dis
tress merely for selfish reasons. The
newspapers, as a general thing, observe
a high code and standard. They Sec
the danger ahead, and they are calling
upon the Legislature to ave us from
the fanatics who are snorting wildly.
But they have the utmost faith ana
confidence in the conservative men In
the assembly and look to them TO save
us from the hell-bent bridage.-Ra-

Speaker Justice and the Railroads
The News and Observer calls on lis
to name the grievance that Mr.. Justice
has against the railroad if we have
any knowledge of it. Now if we want
ed to be mean about it we might ask
the News and Observer to name the
members whom it believes to be in
iuenced by the railroads, if not &C
Eually employed by them. However
this has nothing to do with the case
We do not know why Mr.. Justice has
it in for the Southern, but to us il
seems that his enthusiasm is prompted
by something more than a desire for
the welfare Of the people.-Durnam

6 cents more than the price offered
them by the warehouse combination.
Independent buyers found that to
buy grain they must be in the ware-
house business. They could not COM
pete with the warehouses, they had to
have store room to get the wheat
When the grain was brought in they
were receipted for No. grain. When
it was sold the buyer got what is No
l grain but instead of the maximum
weight, if the grain was of the maxi
mum weight, he got SO pounds OF
wheat, the minimum for that grade.
While in this locality the grain usu-
ally is piled in separate poles. in the
neighboring localities it is piled all
together and the buyer gets wheat
the farmer never saw.
Another fraud put up on the farmer
is the advantage taken of the increase
in the weight of wheat. Wheat, as any
one who is posted knows increases IN
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-08-07

weight from one to four pounds per
sack during the winter Thus the far
mer's wheat when taken out will
weigh much more than when taken In.
This the farmer never gets the advan-
tage of, it is pocketed by the ware
housemen.
"To say that the warehouse will not
ray at SO cents is not true said an
Independent grain buyer today. "Per-
haps there are three, four. or perhaps
half a dozen little warehouses in a
system that do not pay but there are
so many more larger ones that do
that the loss is more than made good
Warehouses pay and pay well at so
cents; the farmers here are making
money at 40 cents, and this raise of
25 cents is simply a hOld-up on their
part. Wages are no higher this year
and other material is no costlier. This
extra money taken from the farmers
will amount to about $37,500.'

|BY POOLING THE FARMERS GET BETTER PRICES

AS an instance of the combination
of the warehouses existing. even last
year the following example was cited
today by a Walla Wallan who knows
the details and facts of the case.
Last year at Hatton, in Adams
county just across the Franklin coun-
ty line, there were four warehouses
doing business. In these four ware
houses were several lots of grain be-
longing to farmers of that section and
to whom each of the four warehouses
of that place offered 81 cents and only
81 cents. None of them would offer
more and none offered less. The far
mers could not get any other price
than the combine price although grain
was higher in other places.
Finally they pooled their grain and
sent a man to this city to consult in
dependent buyers and see if a better
price could not be obtained. AS a re-
suit, they got 81 cents for their grain,

find our city today. We have, during
the past year made some improve
ments that have added materially to
the appearance and convenience of our
city. but owing to the financial condi-
tions which have prevailed here there
has not been as many civic improve

However. the improvements that have

the name of Walla Walla in the front

reputation as a city of law and order.

competit n sinot say.
"The price grs with us is reg
ulated by Liverpool market quotations
being received h twice daily. AS
far as 1 know there is, and has been
no combination among grain buyers.
That, l think, is sufficiently demon
strated by the competition but the
season is too early to tell yet what the
result is"
why have the warehouse people
put up prices when the farmers ware
house claims it is making money at 40
cents?" was another question asked.
Simply because it is not a paying
proposition at the old price The ware
house here, where men can be obtain
ed at short notice and steady men are
not required all the time, can arroru
to do it, perhaps, but other warehouses
cannot Our warehouse operators are
offered the earnings of the house in
stead of a salary in many cases but
they would rather have the salary. II

round.
"In regard to the wheat of the Yar'
mer being shipped before he sells it
that is true in many places. Here
however, It Is piled in separate pile
and the grain the farmer sells is de-
livered to the buyer. This is true ii
this entire district with the possible
exception of Prescott. In this localit!
the buyer gets the grain he buys"

GOOD RAILROAD
At PEN|TENT|ARY
COMMODORE MUTT INSPEcTS THE
TRACK WHILE GUEST OF
WARDEN kINCAID.

H. G. Mutt, general manager Of the
today, left the special train as it was
being switched from the O. r. & N.
tracks to the Northern Pacific and
took advantage of the opportunity to
inspect the new track up the hill to the
penitentiary, and be entertained as
the guest of Warden Kincaid.
This is the track built by convict
labor and which did not cost the state
a cent except from the contingent fund
of the state prison for the salary OF
the two guards, the material being
furnished by the N. p. and the o. r.
& N. companies.
The track is an excellent one and
saves a great deal to the state by Sc
curing better facilities for transpOrta-
tion to the pen" Heretofore it was
necessary to cart all coal, wood ard
other supplies up the hill and no eff
fort was made to furnish supplies in
car load lots. 1t was predicted that a
track would never be built on the hill
on account of the steep grade but the
track now completed is an excellent
one with only a three per cent grade.
General Managel Mutt said, con-
cerning the track:
Il am highly pleased with the con-
struction. did not suppose there was
so much enterprise out there. The tracA
is a good one and satisfactory in every
detail "
