BEEF TRUST PROFITS
Armour Company Made Over Seven
Millions in One Year

New York, Nov. 27-Charles
Sprague Smith, head of the Peoples
Institute, says that the advance in the
prices of the necessaries of life calls
for government investigation. He adj
ner yesterday he was handed a slip
of paper, on which was printed the
following true statement:
For the year ended October 20, Ar
mour and Company earned over and
above taxes, expenses and interest on
its bonds, $7127,924, which is equiv
alent to about 80 per cent on its $780,
100000
Armour and Company together with
the. other great Chicago packers and
handlers of meat in the United States
have been alleging that they are in no
way responsible for the rise in the
prices of all kinds of meat. They
have claimed that the advance was
due entirely to the law of supply and
demand yet the figures quoted show
that a $20,000,000 concern has been
able to earn in one year 80 per cent
on its stock
1t is known that Armour and Com
pany gave. these startling figures to
the stock exchange. They had never
before made public their earnings.
But when they desired to list 100000
900 bonds the corporation, under the
rules of the exchange, was forced to
make a statement of its earnings.
Charles Sprague Smith by reason
of his position at the head of the Peo-
pies Institute, is able to speak from
a personal knowledge of the hardship
to the poor caused by the rise in the
prices of the necessaries of life. He
said yesterday:
1.-The worlds history shows that
every time the price of bread has
been raised above the purse of the
wage-e arners there has been revolu-
ton. 1t happened in Rome, it hap
pened in France. What may happen
in this country no man can say, but
one thing is certain, the price of the
necessaries of life-the food-stuffs and
the meat, is rapidly getting beyond
the purse of the average wage-earner.
THE man who several years ago
was able to have a porterhouse steak
once in a while cannot nave it now.
He cannot afford it. How many
workingmen in the city of New York
were able TO pay thirty-five cents
pound for turkey for their Thanks
giving dinner?
1T is the business of the govern
ment to find out why prices have gone
up, in order that the situation may be
remedied Something is wrong. 1t
may be in the combination and trusts
and 1t may be in the tariff; again, 1t
may be in the scarcity of the article
itself, but the fact that the wage earn
er is being crowded harder and hard
er year by year proves that there is
wrong somewhere, and the why of it
cannot be found out too soon.
"The immediate hope was in COM
plete and thorough investigation by
the government The wage Garner
cannot wait for the awakening of
drowsy public conscience"

The entire community joins with
the members of the Baptist church in
sincere sorrow that Rev Frank r.
Morris has felt obliged to give up his
passionate in Bennington. Mr.. Nor
ris condition of health is serious but
not as bad as has been reported. His
physicians expect his complete recov-
cry but think it likely to take many
months and to assist him in regaining
his health, wish to have him relieved
of every care and responsibility. Mr.
Morris eight years in Bennington,
have been eight years of hard work,
not only for his church but for the
betterment of conditions in the com
munity. Bennington has had few cit
liens as valuable to the town as Mr.
Morris and every public spirited citi-
zen will feel a sense of loss and hon
est regret that he has felt obliged to
sever his correction with the local
Baptist parish.

The Banner has frequently express
ed its admiration for the Rutland rail
road. We believe it to be the best
and best managed single track rail
road in the east. but there are few
improvements that we should like to
see made as opportunity offers with
out unreasonable expense. One of
these Improvements is in connection
with the milk train from New York.
This train arrives here daily from
Chatham at 20 and leaves for Rut-
land at 1890. The train includes a
passenger coach generally and brings
passengers from Chatham to Benning-
ton but carries no passengers between
here and Rutland. There is no north
bound passenger train from Benning-
ton to Rutland between 7:45 in the
morning and $3.50 in the afternoon
Why cannot the railroad company ar
range with only slight increase of
expense to have the milk train take
passengers to Rutland? 1t would be
a great convenience to the travelling
public. 1t would allow connection
with the passenger train leaving Rut-
land in the afternoon for Burlington
and connecting there for all northern,
central and northeastern Vermont. If
the railroad company wants to en-
large its list of friends in this section
of the state, here is an opportunity.

TEN MORE DIsMIssALs
Col. Loeb Says General House Clean
ing in Custom House is Completed

Col. Loeb Says General House Clean
ing in Custom House is Completed
New York, Nov. 29.-Ten more as
sistant weighers were dropped by Col
lector of the Port Loeb from the Gus
toms service yesterday. The collec-
for announced that with these dismis-
sails the general house cleaning in
the customs house as the result of
the investigation into under weigh
ing frauds had been completed. Some
individual cases remained, however,
on which he might find ii necessary
to take action, the collector added.
Mr.. Loeb said that there were no
charges against the men removed but
that investigation had developed cir
cumstances which made it seem adj
visable to dispense with their servi-
ces.
Including the latest dismissals a to-
tai of eighty-three men have been re-
moved by the collector since the work
of REIMBURSEMENT of the staff in the
customs service began. The ten men
dismissed were civil service appoin-
tees and men from the civil service
eligibles have been selected by the
collector and by Deputy Surveyor
Parr to succeed them.

MANY HUNTING FATALITIES
Twenty-eight Killed Already in Upper
Michigan and Wisconsin

Milwaukee, Nov. 29.-The hunting
season in Upper Michigan and Wis
consin this year promises to involve
more fatalities to hunters than usual.

cord. So far the killed number % and
the injured o. There are still three
days of the season. OF the % dead,
nine were killed in bird hunting be

We're shot in duck hunting.

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Pub

Several of the west side newspa
pers are foolish enough to advocate
the doing away with the mountain
rule. 1t is incomprehensible that
they can be so shortsighted. Don't
they realize that if the mountain rule
were abolished the east side patriots
would hold all the offices all the time
instead of merely holding most of the
offices most of the time as now.

A great ado has been made about
the raiding of poker game down in
Brattleboro recently What if on a
given night every poker game in the
state, whether in a joint or in high So
ciety, was raided st. Adams Mes
senger.
No use! There aren't officers
enough in the state to do the job, at
least not if they included all the raf-
fes, church fairs and other gambling
resorts where people are separated
from their money without getting val
ne received.
