Feeding Stock a Particular Job

Feeding Stock Particular Job
The feeding of cattle when corn sold
at ten cents bushel was an unset.
entific proposition, and many men
made money out Of the operation
without thinking much about 1t. Corn
cannot be now unscientifically fed and
return n profit from its use. Conditions
in the raising of live stock have

that go only on past experience are al

Colorado & Southern Report.

Denver.-Despite the financial de.
preston. the annual report of the
Colorado & Southern railroad for the
year ending June 80. 1908. shows II
healthy increase in revenues. besides a
large outlay for improvements In
equipment and increase In mileage.
The report has just been made public.
The total operating revenue for the
year was Sli.2S0. .535..i. an Increase Of
s9oG.73l.l9 over last year. The oper-
ating expenses were s9.59i. .205.Sl, an
Increase OF SGl2.5S1.62. The net in
come. after the payment Of all cx-
penses and interest on bonds. was 81
l7l.903.32. an increase of SS0.0i5.5I
over last year.
The increase Is considered especial
ly satisfying in view of the fact that
most of the roads of the country have
shown decreases.
Among the improvements made for
the year is the new line to Louisville
Junction. which has completed the
electric line between Denver and Boul
der. The cost of this was $254 .490.02.
Other Colorado improvements con
sisted of bank widening and ballast
ing of the roads in the Fort Collins
district. the expense of which was
S25,O11.O2. Large amounts were .ex-
pended for "ock ballasting of parts of
the Fort Worth 4 Denver line.
The total outlay for improvements
during the year. including the erecting
of buildings along the line and the I'M
provement of machinery. was S943.-
S1O.26. The amount expended for new
equipment was $29l.SSS.55. These
amounts are about the average. 1t is
stated that improvements will con-
tinue during the current year and
more building of tracks will be re-
corded than for many years.
The new electric line to Boulder
has added materially to the revenue
of the road, proving to be one Of its
best paying investments. There has
also been considerable increase in
freight traffic on the Fort Worth &
Denver line.
The number OF passengers carried
for the year was 2,935,2GG, as COM
pared with 2,SO1 500 for last year. The
average rate received per passenger
per mile was 2.53 cents.

A Billion Dollar Session

When Speaker Cannon shall have
given the gavel its last thump on his
desk for this session of Congress, there
will have been recorded an u~nprecedent-
ed public expenditure. This Congress
came to Washington amid the shock of
a financial disturbance, in the early
Fall, and it has made appropriations for
the first session of the Goth Congress
that will exceed a billion dollars, Only
a few years ago the first billion dollar
Congress in the time of Speaker Reid
astonished the country. Now it has
reached the billion dollar mark in the
first session of a congress, and there is
every possibility that it will have ap-
propriated two billions of dollars before
the Goth Congress steps out Oh the 4th
of March, 1909. 1t must be remem-
bered also that this great appropira-
ton comes with a nearly empty Treas
ury, and facing a deficit for the fiscal
year of about sixty millions of dollars
and for the entire year ending Decem
Der 81, one hundred millions.
Nearly all the yearly appropriation
bills have received consideration from
the lower House, where under the law
they must originate. Not one bill has
been passed by this Congress which
does not show an increase above
the corresponding bill of last year.
This increase runs over $500, 600
first in the Indian bill, twenty-six mil
lions of dollars the increase in the nav
al appropriation bill. The approp-
riations of this session exceeded those
of the second session of the last Con-
gress by Over one-hundred millions Of
dollars, and to this amount must be
added the public building bill approp-
Rating twenty thousand dollars and
urgently demanded by those having
close districts where the distribution of
the money is expected to turn the tide
of votes. 1t is quite natural from a
political point of view that the Demo-
Gratis are making use of these facts and
figures in campaign documents, and are
expecting political advantage from the
record Of the party in power.

State Commission Appointed

Gov. Fort has appointed several COM
missions.
The excise commission leads the
others in interest to the people, the ap-
pointees being: Charles j. Fisk, of
. Union county; Caleb V. Whitbeck, of
Bergen; j. Kearny Rice, of Hudson;
John Howe, of Essex; T.. Frank Apple
by, of Monmouth; Peter Backes. of
Mercer, and George H. Smith, of
Ocean. 1t will be noticed that South
Jersey came out rather shy in the allot-
ment.
OF his excise appointees Governor
Fort has this to say: 1.-THE Republican
party stands committed to the bishops
bill and is pledged to MAINTAIN it. 1t is
essential, therefore, that whatever this
commission may be, it shall know ex-
actly what the bishops bill is, and
ayoid any possible complications or
otherwise from any legislation which
might conflict with it. So far as l
know, not a single member of this COM
mission has produced the subject in
any way or will bring to the considera
tlon of the questions or the inyestiga-
ton any prejudice or preconcieved
notions.
Commission to suggest a law for tax
ton on banks, trust companies and
savings banks and the like: John o. III,
Pitney. Essex; Bloomfield H. Mineh,
Cumberland; William H. Davis, Hud-
ron; Albert M. Bradshaw, Ocean; ].
Hayes Lippinc0t, Atlantic.
The Governor says: 81 have appoint
ed, on my W motion, a commission
for the revision of the bank tax laws.
In view of the decision of the highest
court of the state, / think that there
should be a consideration of this whole
tax question, with a view to suggesting
legislation next year, if legislation he
thought by the commission, after con-
~sideration, to be necessary. The mat
ter OF bank taxation in New Jersey in
wolves probably a hundred millions of
taxable values-a matter of serious i'm
port to the people of the state, land fur
ther legislation seems to be necessary
IN the intrest OF fair and equitable tax
alton OF this class of monied capital.
For this reason, ] have appointed this
commission, and will provide for it i'll
some way its legitimate expenses out of
my emergency fund.-

Control Won By Bryan

During the last week of the 166
democratic delegates elected MI.
Bryan got 159, and had 405 out of CSC.
That was over two thirds of the voters
of the conventions held.
The New York Herald is the only
daily in the East which is gathering an
Impartial and nonfactional view of the
democratic contest. Henceforth it will
be absolutely certain that all contests,
all questions of organization and all
matters pertaining to making rules for
the Democratic Party and adopting the
platform will rest entirely in the hands
of the Bryan wing of the Democracy.
The next most important feature of
the struggle of the week was MI.
Bryan's triumphal towards the two
Thirds necessary to nominate the candi-
date for president.
All this is unpleasant reading for
many Eastern Democrats, as well as for
those enthusiasts who were supporting
the candidates of Governor johnson. of
Minnesota, and Judge Gray, of Delaware
Many of these gentlemen are disposed to
cr1tisize the Herald for printing he ac-
tual facts about Mr.. Bryan's strength,
holding that nc Eastern newspaper
should do anything to discourage the eff
forts of gold Democrats and conservative
politicians in their efforts to wrest con-
troll of the Democratic Party from Nh.
Bryan.
If Governor johnson or Judge GRAY
should have the lead at this time. he
would be cheerfully accorded that enjoy.
able position. If either of the opposing
candidates should suddenly have good
fortune and begin to swing in ahead of
Mr.. Bryan, that important political de-
velopment would be chronical as a piece
OF news of prime Importance in the
Herald.
The above shows how the daily papers
controlled by corporate interest is sup
pressing the news for effects on the
voters whom they wish to keep in be-
nighted servitude.
