 "If such a firm should be organized to drive the logs for these ten firms at so much thousand. do you suppose ir would get the businesss"
 "It would depend on the driving firm" said Orde. You see. mill men have got to have their logs. They can't afford to take chances. It would not pay"
 "Then that's all right" agreed New mark. with a gleam of satisfaction across his thin face. Would you form partnership with me having such an object in view?"
 Orde laughed

 That's easy,v cried Newmark. "weTl make "a stock company-say 1O0. 900 shares. Wen keep just enough between us to control the company say 51 900. I'll put in my pile. and you can pay for yours out of the earnings of the company
 That doesn't sound fair"
 You pay interest" explained New mark. ..Then we'll sell the rest of the stock 10 raise the rest of the money.r

BALLINGER,S POLICY


Mr.. Ballinger is not a large
man. He has been questioned
and quizzed about his troubles
over Conservation until he is no
longer able to control his temper.
He stepped away from his desk
and paced rapidly up and down
his office.
"See here. You don't under
stand this thing, " hesaid. "You
chaps who are in favor of this
Conservation programme are
all wrong. You are hindering
the development OF the West.
These railroads are necessary to
the country. And more than
that, this whole big domain is a
blanket-it is expressing the peo-
pie. The thing to do with it"
and here he stopped and faced
me. "In my opinion the proper
course to take with regard to
this domain is to divide it up
among the big corporations and
the people who know how to
make money out of it and let
the people at large get the bene-
fit Of the circulation OF the mon
ey.'-John Z. Matheq0s az Hamp
toms for December.
Is this the Roosevelt policy2
Is this the declaration of man
who sincerely believes that the
Public Domain should be pro-
tected from rapacious monopo-
lies-even with the ''strictest
construction OF the law2 We
think not. Mr.. Ballinger's state
ment reveals the philosophy
which has guided his official acts
-aphilosophy which places Vest
ed Interests above Public Inter-
est. In the face Of it, his publicly
expressed scruples about acting
within the law, Z etc, appear as
mere eyasions. His policy isnot
the peoples policy. He has him
self made that plain. "Divide
the Public Domain among the
big corporations" he says. So
says Big Business. La Follett's.

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 9. 1909
Prosperity Returned
BUT WHO REAPS THE BENEFIT?

1t has been asserted by the
masters of finance and many OF
the papers throughout the land
that Prosperity" has returned
and that the abundant harvests
and renewed activity in the open
ing of the mills and manufacture
ing establishments indicated
that coincidence" had been re-
stored. While it is true that
the crops have been abundant,
and Dame Nature and the pro-
ducers have done all within their
power to provide a sufficient
supply OF the necessities Of life,
vet there must be a hitch some
where, for we find reports Of
strikes, starvation and disasters
OF all kinds prevailing from every
quarter. The effect Of recent
legislation for the regulation
OF commerce and all branches of
business has been to the benefit
OF the trusts and great monied
corporations, while the small
business man finds it is almost
impossible to make ends meet
and conduct an honest business.
The enormous increase in the
price of all the articles that sup
ply ones actual needs, shows that
the cost Of living has increased
100 per cent faster than the
price that the producer receives
for his products.
James Wilson, secretary OF
agriculture in his annual report
just issued for the year 1909,
pronounces it to be the most
prosperous in the history of the
United States. The yield has
been bountiful and prices high.
The value of farm products
has nearly doubled in the past
ten years as shown by carefully
prepared statistics Of the depart
ment of agriculture.
The figures upon which Secre-
tary Wilson bases his position
OF increased yields and prosperi-
ty are astonishing in their pro-
portions.

the return OF Hartman from Europe

The Hartman stocks were natural

1t was asserted that many of the
