Curiously enough, it would az
pear, upon the surface at least, as
if a reduction 10 duties on iron and
steel would lniure the competitors
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton far more than it would that
corporation, so that in this case at
least Tariff reyision would result in
strengthening the financial concen-
tration rather than in weakening it.
The net profits avallabls for divi :
dends of the United States Steel
Corporation were last year equiva-
lent to about $40 ton on the steel
sold. This is arrived at after de-
ducting all fixed charges, sinking
fund, depreciation, extraordinary
replacements, repairs, etc. On the
ether hand, the net profits available
tor dividends OF the independent
companies In the steel trade range
from Sa to 81 ton. The larger
profits of the Steel Corporation were
due to many sources of gain, no,
enjoyed by the independent com
panies, including railroads and YES
sells, interest on large cash holdings,
sales of cement, etc.
Now if the Tariff were revised
radically so as to amount to $7 OF
81 ton, this reduction, it would
seem, would serve to wipe out the
competitors of the United States
Steel Corporation, leaving it master
of the feld.-"Wall Street Jour
pal."

SAD DEATH

Last Saturday evening, John
Weaver, a young man living about
seven miles southeast of Humboldt,
walked into the flttle city to visit a
married sister there. He was not
very familiar with the locality and
arriving after II O'Clock at night, in
the dark, he seems to have made a
mistake and got to the wrong house.
Mrs. Marvin Barrackman, a xear
neighbor of young Weaver's sister
was wakened about eleven by some
one at the door. She heard him try
the front soor and then go around
to the back door, fin; lily returning
to the front door. She aroused her
husband who went to the front door,
revolver in hand. He opened the
door slightly and called to young
Weaver but he failed to answer. A
bull dog that was in the house
rushed out and attacked young
Weaver. In order to escape the
dog, he made rush for the open
door. The boy seems to have been
so badly frightened that he did not
speak. Mr.. Bsrrackman thinking
he was being attacked, fired at the
intruder and he fell to the floor and
died in a few minutes, being shot in
the head.
1t is a most lamentable occur
renee. Mr.. Barrackman, evidently
did not intend to harm an innocent
person, but he was excited and was
entirely too ready with the gun.
The Chanute times., 1908-03-27
Would Wipe Out Competitors

1t is now proposed to revise the
Tariff. A revision is understood tc
mean lower rates of duties, which
would mean lower prices. 1t would
make fruitful study to investigate
as to the probable effect of Tariff
revision upon the business and pro-
fits of the great trusts.
Take the United States Steel Cor
poration, for Instance, which as
the principal producer in the iron
and steel trade, controls fully SO
per cent of the entire product.
Would a reduction in duties upon
iron and steel have the effect of
breaking up this tremendous com.
bination? Surely when the read
justment of the Tariff takes place,
the duties upon iron and steel will
be revised.

popular candidate before the people,
especially under present prevailing
conditions of thought. Uncle Cy

crowd to be 4 popular candidate
right new. Though he was about
the brainiest and wisest of than all
and possessed more Of the elements
of fairness and honor than the aver
age machine leader, and seems to
have had one foot in the reform
wagon for some time, still the taint
remains.
Now the crowd seems to have
under consideration two other
gentlemen who are being weighed
for the place. Senator H. B. Mil
ler and Farmer Smith. Senator
Miller is a square dealer and the
machine crowd think he might be
able to divide the Stubs vote. But
there is where they are without their
reckoning.
The people who believe in reform
in Kansas politics, believe in Stubbs.
They believe he is and has been the
head and front of the movement and
has done more than any other half
dozen men in the state TO bring
about the reforms demanded by tt c
people and Will not allow themselye S
to be Hoodwinked by a man like
Mr.. Miller who seems inclined to
listen to the hattery and glittering
assurances of his friends, the enemy.
Farmer Smith is a different kind
of a proposition. He has never
been accused of any very serious re-
form sentiment unless it brought
with it some profit or hohor to him.
self. He has been in several scraps
and is pretty well known in the state.
His candidacy should be acceptable
to the old machine crowd. They
beat him at the polls once upon
time and would have no compuntion |
at seeing him slaughtered again.
He can draw no votes from the
Subbs forces.
What is the matter with Uncle
Cy, anyway. For many years he
was bell wearer of the crowd and he1
has not wandered so far away from
the fold but that he might be taken
back. He always was about the
best man of the lot. His word even
IN pslitics was always good. The
only trouble with Cy was he would
not stand for some of the methods
Of the machine and some OF its
nominees.
