IGUPLIFT" OF THE FARMER.

Salt Lake will be one of the points
visited by the presidents commission
on country life, which is about to
start on tour of the country for the
purpose of gathering data regarding
| conditions which prevail in the rural
districts. in order that they may intel
ligently begin the study of the subject
and formulate practical suggestions in
conformity with the wish of Mr.. Roose-
welt. The commission will be headed
by Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell uni
versity
In each of the cities where they stop
the commissioners expect to confer
with representative citizens interested
III improving conditions among farm
ers; they will invite conferences among
farmers themselves with officials of ag-
ricultural colleges. with representative
citizens in all walks of life who are IA
miliar with country life and every op-
portunity will be seized upon to gather
data that will be of practical value in
the solution of the problem laid before
the commission by the president
The commission will spend but one
day in Salt Lake The meeting will not
be characterized by long, set speeches,
the commission coming out to listen
and learn. and not to instruct or adj
wise.
In a letter discussing the coming trip,
Prof. Bailey said:
This commission is not appointed to
investigate the farm or to inquire into
technical agricultural processes. It's
function is to give attention to the
larger economic, social and sanitary
questions of the open country. To this
end. the commission would like to hear
the opinions of representative farmers.
teachers, ministers. physicians and 9TH
ers who live in the open country, or
have direct relations with it. So far as
possible we should like to meet accred-
tied delegates from oranges. farmers
clubs and similar organizations. as
well as farmers and others who come
on their own responsibility"
The date of the visit TO Salt Lake is
not definitely known, but will probably
be some time during the present month,
the commission being due in Portland,
Ore, about Dec. l. If any of the citi-
zens of the state have suggestions to
offer, no doubt they will be thankfully
received Considerable fun has been
poked at the president in the eastern
press since the commission was ap-
pointed, but II social and economic con-
ditions on the farm can be improved,
the conferences will no doubt prove of
great practical value.

TOBACCO TRUST DECISION.

The decision OF the United States cir
cult court that the American Tobacco
company is operated in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law and in restraint
OF trade is the most important opinion
handed down by a court i'm this cOun-
try for many years. If sustained il
must ultimately bring about the dis
solution Of the giant corporation, and
as a matter of course all the other
trusts will be brought to book. The
court hesitated when it came to ap-
pointing a receiver at this time.
Notwithstanding the general paraI-
ysis of business during the past year,
mis- company has been able to main
tain its enormous dividends. Its con-
troll of the tobacco trade is world
wide, two-thirds of the stock OF the
British American Tobacco company,
capitalized for sSO.OOOOOO, being held by
the american concern, which is cap
italized at s1SO.0OO, OOO.a The British
company. being on the other side of
the Atlantic with its books and bust
ness. may be able to dodge the appli-
cation of the antitrust law and con-
tinue the vast business.
II has come to light that many of the
trust magnates. fearing adverse deci-
sions in the trust cases, have been
contemplating taking up their residence
tain the rich sources of their income
on this side of the Atlantic 1t is
known that some of the most noted
corporation lawyers of the country are
working on this problem of avoiding
the unpleasant consequences of anti
trust legislation. This plan might be
worked out in the matter of protection
against restraining laws passed by the
states. but IL would hardly succeed
where federal statutes were involved.
Al the time when the Northern Pa
cihq-Great Northern merger was at
tempted the promoters carefully con-
sidered the question of making it
foreign corporation with headquarters
in London. The plan was finally
dropped and the company forced to dis
solve The beef trust is said to be ac-
tive at this time in discussing foreign
Incorporation. but it is not known that
any papers have been filed or that they
viii be in the immediate future.
IRE government has a suit against
the Standard Oil company at the pres
eat time, which win be forced to dis
solve if the decision in the case Of the
tobacco company holds good. The pow
der trust is also being prosecuted and
the same result will follow. If these
corporations are to be split up. the eff
feet upon business will probably be
disastrous for a time, but there is no
other way out. If the decision of the
federal court in New York be not up
held. the effects win be stiu more dis
astrous in the long run. The outcome
will be awaited with intense interest.

GUARANTY OF DEPOSITS.

II seems that the bank guaranty
proposition took root in New York to
the sxtent that many surety companies
are doing big and profitable business.
A dispatch dated New York, Nov. 3.
election DAY, reads as follows:
Since Mr.. Bryan first advocated the
guarantee Of bank deposits many surety
companies IN this city have built up a
large depository bond business which af-
lords the protection to depositors hitler

a canvass cf some of the representa-
tive companies showed that the business
had assumed such proportions that a
special department had been created in
many instances 10 handle applications of
this kind.
There is a growing demand for deposi-
tory banks since the recent financial de-
preston. Bonds aggregating many hun

ing comparatively small deposits. have
been written by the companies during
the last year
representative of. one company said
cases directly TO the prospective depositor
without disclosing the fact TO the bank
that the depositor had applied for protec-
ton.
These bonds are issued for a premium
of one-haif of / per cent The deposit is
limited to $1,000 b. some of the compa-
MES. Other companies will insure much
larger deposits
Virtually all of the surety companies
go the bonds of the banks as guar
antOrs of the deposits of state. county and
municipal funds to the extent of millions
of dollars. In this case practically the
same principle OF bank deposit guarantees
is involved

lily be seen that the defeat of Mr.
Bryan does not necessarily mean the
abandonment OF the plan Indeed, it is
likely that the Republicans will formu-
late and pass the guaranty law in the
near future.

that the japanese government became
most intensely interested in forestry
The mountains were still government
land, so that all that was necessary to
protect them was to place proper re-
strictions on the sale and cutting OF
timber. This was effected by declaring
the forests on the steep slopes as re-
served forests, in which the only cut
ting should be done under government
restrictions. The forests on agricultu-
raj lands, not needed for protection, are
classed as available forests. and here
the cutting is not so carefully re-
stricted.
Consequently Japan has effectuaIly
prevented the stripping of her noun
tain slopes before any great damage
has been done. In some districts,
where the mountains are near the
towns, the steep slopes have already
been cleared. and this has resulted in
foods and the washing down of the
soil from the slopes onto the farm
lands. But these cases are said to have
been exceptional, and have merely
served as a warning, which Japan has
needed before it was too late to prevent
widespread destruction.
We believe the United States is max
ing progress in the right direction and
that the wholesale destruction of the
forests remaining will be
stopped and that tree planting will
eventually repair much of the damage
done Japan has set a good example
in this matter which all the civilized
nations of the world can safely follow.
