ANOTHER FIERCE SLAM AT
FRENZlED FINANCE APOLOGlSTS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Glad to see by Mr.. JeWett s
letter and Val Stones communication
that some of your correspondents are
giving attention to that fallacious re
ward of ability" argument one SO often
hears used even in the pulpits of the
Christian church.
When these apolOgiSts stand up in
defense of the position of Rockefeller
q mention him as a representative and
typical case) there is an assumption
that such a man is however selfish his
motive doing a service to society, anu
therefore his gains are the legitimate
reward of his ability. But is this so?
Is the assumption that John D. de-
Yelops and increases the oil supply
correct one? Not at all. He has no
concern with the question of how
much oil the public needs he doesn't t
have to consider that; he doesn't care
He Just figures out-as the Standard
Oil company is equipped to do TO a
fraction-what is the total amount OF
public money available for fuel and
lighting oil. Then as he will get the
whole of that anyway, he figures out
not how much oil the public needs-but
how little he can give them for that
maximum of available price. If that
available maximum be, say $1OO 100000.
and the public need of oil 800 million
gallons, does J. D. proceed to give us
500 million gallons. No! He figures the
price on say 400 million gallons 10
cover the whole available maximum,
and thus saves the working expenses
on the 100 million gallons he starVes US
for. Thus in effect, ]. D. does not per-
forl a public service, but by shutting
down and restricting vast sources Of
supply, he gets his enormous rewards
for the damnable disservice of keeping
millions of poor people in darkness and
cold.
Hyprocites indeed as Mr.. Jewett says
are those-churchmen and so-called re-
formers-who fiaunt in our faces their
greasy lick-spittle apologetics for fren-
Zied finance ]. W. McKRIMON.

URGES MORE FREQUENT
FLUSHING OF SEWERS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Somef provision ought to be
made for more frequent flushing OF
vour sewers and better washing of
your curbs. The odor Is not a credit
to a progressive city, and is very
noticeable. Some of your old-fashioned
stone block cutters appear to have
been innocent of water since the last
rain. If you will stand on almost any
business corner you may detect-in
fact. you can hardly escape-the odor
of sewer gas. This Is especially true
of the corner of Sixth and Main streets,
where so many tourists come and go
daily. VISITOR.

Great Institution!

The California state FISH and game com
mission is great institution yea, verify
and then some. The tax imposed by this
department Of the state government last
year amounted to over 100000, and the
money was collected chiefly from farmers

upon to pay for the privilege of picking up
the few crumbs that are allowed to fall
from the rich mems tables, the rich men in
this instance being tho members OF the vari-
Gus gun clubs and land companies whlch

MARRIAGE

A COMIC opera singer who is asking
"A an annulment of her marriage to
"A a husband with whom she lived
ten days gave the following reasons
for her action:
Hes more than negligent as hus-
band. He's a Jonah, hoodoo. I'm no
more than ordinarily superstitious, but
then right after we We're married and
my mother and l were on our way to
Highlands, n. Y, to look up a country
place I've since bought, our car was
No. 13, the peanut boy was cross-eyed,
we broke an umbrella, lost half a dozen
things, stepped on a toad, were chased
by a bull and walked under a ladder
that was placed so we couldn't help It,"
On account of this alarming success
sion of warnings, the woman asks the
law to free her from her husband.
We cite this as an instance of the
friyolity with which many men and
women in modern times regard the
married relation.
Nowadays it savors of blasphemy to
say marriages are made in heaven.
The other place seems to have its
share, and perhaps more than its fair
share, in the manufacture of matri-
monial alliances. 1t is too easy to OBJ
tain separation and divorces. When a
couple of full age and completely ma
tured understanding become husband
and wife, then the law should compel
them to live with each other unless
there is proof of the one offense which
Jesus said justified the separation OF
married couples, and married persons
who commit that offense should not be
allowed to go scot free and brag of
their perhdy A term in states prison
would, be a mild punishment for trans
gression of marriage contracts, vows,
pledges and promises.

Beet SUGAR In the United States.

Beet sugar factories are now in sue

Colorado leads all other states en-

factories. In 1907 these produced 169,-

been passed around to give all the peo-
pie in the United States four pounds
apiece.
California and Michigan follow Colo
RADIO at respectful distance in the
race for second place. Michigan has
the same number Of factories as Colo
RADIO, but their product is considerably
smaller. California has only nine
plants, but some Of the latter are very
large. From year to year the produc
ton Of sugar Is about the same In the
two states.
Utah has FIVE factories, and they are
strong producers. Idaho and Wiscon-
sin follow with four each. and there
are ten states with one factory each.
The most eastern factory is that at

FARMERS UNION A FACT.

Million and Half Members Work To-
gether to Control Prices of Products.
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union of America now has
membership of 100000 in the twenty
four states where it is organized. One
Of the objects of the union is to rush
the construction of elevators in time
for the handling Of the wheat crop of
1909 when II is thrashed. The organi-
cation is the outcome of project sug-
gested by Texas schoolteacher.
All the southern states have union
organizations, as have Missouri, ILL
nOis, Kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma and
Washington. Two great crops, cotton
and wheat, have received the attention
of the union up to date. But this will
not be the limit of the organizations
activity in the future, the members
assert.
1t is the object of the union to make
standard" prices for everything raised
on American farms, from a bale of
cotton to dozen eggs. A. yet, how
ever, there has been no scale Of prices
fixed to cover the whole list. That is
matter to be worked out by each
state organization. There is a mini.
mum and maximum price for wheat,
the so called "fair'' or Standard
price for that grain being dollar o
bushel.
1t is the purpose of the union to have
elevators to store grain in, to be
sold at such time and for such prices
as the local may think best, provided
that none be sold below the minimum
price and that none be held for more
than the maximum price. All sales are
conducted through the business agents,
the union being at work to eliminate
the middleman.
This is attempted by having the
business agent deal directly with con-
sumers, so each business agent has a
list of mills and grain buyers who
want the actual grain for manufacture
ing or feeding purposes, and he keeps
in touch with them by correspondence
Each local has business agent, and
there is one for each state and ma
tional business agent.
A farmer who needs cash after put
ting his wheat In union elevator Is
tided over his eight place" by brother
members of the union who are better
fixed than he. The same sort of sys-
tenn is in operation in the southern
states, where cotton instead of wheat
is the great staple crop. The elevators
and cotton warehouses are stock con-
Germs, the par value of each share Of
stock being fixed by the local which
erects the elevator, but the fact that a
member holds stock i'm the unions en-
terprise does not give him any more
extensive privileges in the organiza-
ton or in the handling Of his grain.
The association is affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor.
Though it is not real branch Of that
organization, there exists between the
two what is known as fraternal I'M
