Draft Horses Needed

Ever since the panic Of 1898. horse
raisers and farmers generally have
seemed TO fear over production OF
horses and the supply OF horses has not
kept pace with the growth OF popula-
ton while industries requiring the
nee Of horses have multiplied. There
has developed especial need for more
good draft horses in the city, while
improvements in farm machinery have
required heavier horses for country
use The result OF these conditions
has been an inadequate supply OF
heavy horses and a remarkable increase
in the market value OF draft horses,
the very kind which the farmer can
raise with the greatest ease, use and
profit
To indicate the relative increase OF
horses and population, and the in
CT ease in the average value OF all
horses for the United States during
the last IS years. the following table.
compiled from official reports Of the
Census Bureau and Department OF
Agriculture. is here appended:

and ii has already been attacked num-

the validity Of various provisions.
Some Of the controverted points will

be called upon to review the law.
However it is pretty well agreed
that at least two provisions will mot
hold water. One prohibits the issu-

The other provides for the summary
arrest OF any person violating the pro-
visions OF the law. and for the sum-
mary closing OF all places found open
In violation Of section IL. Both these
points nave been passed upon by the
supreme court, which laid down the
principle that summary arrest without
process is unconstitutional in such
casee. To close mans place Of bust
ness without due process of law would
give police officers not only unusual
