''As to the Sante Fe, which is a
competing line with both the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific, it
appears that Mr.. Hartman and his
associates acquired sufficient inter
est in the Sante Fe so that two mem
bers of the Union Pacific board, to-
wit: Messrs. Prick and Rogers, be-
come and still are directors of the
Sante Fe and Union Pacific, which,
as a corporation, purchased and still
holds long block of Sante Fe stock.
AS result of the close union be-
tween these lines competition has to
a large extent been destroyed. The
Oregon Short Line is also a holder
of large amounts of stock in the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroad companies.
'tIn pursuance of the plans of Mr..
Harrimna and his associates for ac-
quiring control of transcontinental
traffic, the Union Pacific in 1901 Sc
cured a majority of stock of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
which was later turned over to the
Northern Securities company. When
it was held by the supreme court of
the United States that it was illegal
for the latter corporation to hold
stocks of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific, a distribution was
made among it's shareholders as re-
suit of which the Oregon Short Line
received from the Northern Securi-
ties company stocks of both the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
The latter companies are joint own
ers of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad, which is an active
competitor of the Union Pacific
through large territory, and the
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern are likewise competitors of the
Union Pacific

independent line by w. C. Clarke
and his associates, to run from San
Pedro on tidewater in California,
through Los Angeles to Salt Lake
City, having connection at that point
with the Union Pacific and with the
Gould system. After the work of
construction was in progress, parties
in control of the Union Pacific, by
means of harassing litigation, de-
signed to prevent the acquisition of

improbable, and by other means, in

abandon the scheme of an indepen-

qz:$gasRsn,
GRAIN INSPECTION AGAIN

In connection with the review made
few days ago in these columns of
the national grain inspection law of
Senator McCumber, which pointed out
the injustice of the present system
of grain inspection and the improve
ments that would be possible under a
federal system of inspection, comes a
suggestion of the Commercial West
at Minneapolis that the interests of
North and South Dakota would be
placated by increasing the members
of the grain inspection boards at Min
neapolis and Duluth to five members
and giving North Dakota and South
Dakota each representation on the
boards. The Commercial West thinks
this would convince the state that the
inspection was just and that COM
plants would disappear
While this is greater concession
than the grain interests have hereto
fore expressed willingness to grant,
it is apparent that the agitation for
federal grain inspection is not relish
ed by the Minnesota grain interests
and that they are willing to make
substantial advances if they can still
the demand for a system of national
inspection. We are inclined to the
belief that Senator McCumber will
press his measure as vigorously as
possible and if he cannot obtain its
passage, then it might be well to &C.
cept representation on the Minneso-
Ia board as the next best thing for
the grain growers of the state If
such an arrangement can be made,
however, it ought to be without any
agreements or promises in the matter
of national inspection. If that can
be brought about and proves to be
the best method of fixing the stand,
ards of grain, the North Dakota pro.
Queer should be for it and for that
matter, even the Minnesota produc
er. For his loyalty to a state insti
tuition should not lead him to support
a system that is to his own pecuniary
disadvantage.

Lawson Abandons the Fioht

At the beginning of my battle the
people stood on the curb, looking on
at the most terrific onslaught ever
made on man, and-grinned. Thous-
ands of press Trades, describing me
as all that was dangerous and detest-
able, the people read without resent.
ment and-grinned. Scores of thous-
ands of cartoons, holding me up to
ridicule, the people bought and en-
couraged as they-grinned. Not a
day went by without my family be-
ing deluged with anonymous vileness
meant to terrorize and pain. Not a
month went by but l received mys-
FERROUS little clockworks, powder and
poison packages, threats, assaults
and worse. The public platform from
one end of the country to the other
rang with the curses of the Systems
character thugs until my life, had
chosen to permit it, would have been
hell on earth And the people list
ened and-grinned.
What did l do? Complain? Shirk
my self-imposed task? Exchange my
hellish position for one of ease and
dollars for at no time since the bat
tie began but could have gained mil
lions by deserving MY task What did
the people do? They shouted, 'Lay
on Lawson; don't quit, but for Heav-
ems sake and our, do hurry up!"-
and grinned. Then came the almost
impossible Victories. the insurance
exposures, the terrific financial rev.
Citations, the thousands of appeals
from the policy-holders to wrest the
insurance companies from 'tthe Sys-
tenn; my fight, single-handed, but at
an expense to me of over $1,000, 900,
to do so. What did the people do,
then? They spent their time guess
ing which of the Systems stories of
my profits of millions through by in
surance exposure was true, and as
they guessed, grinned Thorn

When the jury had filed in for at
least the fourth time, with no sign of
coming to an agreement in the bribery
case, says Lippincott's, the Disguised
judge rose up and said, Il discharge

At this one sensitive talesman, stung
to the quick by this abrupt and ILL
sounding decision, obstinately faced
the judge.
You can't discharge me, Judge!"
he retorted.
Why not?" asked the astonished
judge.

THE TRUSTS AND "BoeEy MEN.

THE TRUSTS AND "BoGEY MEN,"
The Minneapolis Journal is inclin-
ed to take not too serious view of
Senator Hansbrough's recent declar-
alton in the senate in the matter of
the International Harvester company
and does not think the harvester COM
bine is seeking to exercise so baleful
al influence on the politics of the
state as the senator would have us
believe. Many of us, perhaps, are
not familiar with the inner workings
of the harvester combine, but current
magazine articles-if we may believe
any of the magazine articles any
more would have US believe that
this combination was necessary ev-
pution of the harvester business and
pressive or fearful, and conducted
upon business basis not to the detri-
ment or harm of the consumer.
If the farmer gets good machinery
on good terms, without an increase in
price more than proportionate to the
advanced cost of material and labor,
we do not believe that he will feel
himself seriously damaged by bust
ness combination that puts out ma
chinery instead of number of differ,
emf concerns. At any rate, until it
is shown that he is being oppressed
and that an unfair and unlawful ad
vantage is being taken of him, we
should not hasten to declare that the
harvester combine or any other com
bination should be Immediately throt
tied, for in the throttling serious in
jury might be worked to a quite legit
innate business concern.
We note that an immense associa
ton of farmers-the American Soci
ETY. of Equity-is working with a view
TO getting better wheat prices through
combination and through systematic
regulation of the output. This is
quite in line with the spirit of the
times and 1t is sincerely hoped thai
the farmers may get the very best
possible price at any and all times
But shall the bread eaters of the
country go into court and get a re
straining order to put this organiza
tion out of business without inquir
ing into the many good things that
may come out of the association? The
