living TOO EASY

sCoutirued from Page OUep
use a telephone that costs them $3.50
a month. They want the order sent
up, and sent up at once. It costs the
grocer about 10 per cent to deliver that
package. If the man who drives the
wagon were thrown out of his job he
probably would have to work on a
farm and would then become a pro-
ducer, adding to the worlds wealth.
There are thousands of acres of unde-
veloped wealth in the country and
there is hardly an acre that is being
made to yield all that it could yield.
And an army of men are employed in
catering to the Americans love of COM
fort and ease.
Many a family that orders it's gro
ceries by telephone does it because
cause the time Of any member of the
household is worth more than that of
the man who drives the delivery
wagon"

The tax on oleomargarine was re-

why it should be taxed any more than
any other product. OF course, reve-

must be taxed But taxation is a big
subject by itself
THE government itself is very ex-
travagant. There is too much pie
cutting. Congressman are lauded for
getting appropriations for their dis
tricts and the expenditures for public
buildings and other public works are
enormous. 1t is the hardest thing in

INVESTIGATION OF
BEEF TRUST ASKED
Albany AssembIyman Prepares Reso-
luton as Result of Present
Condition of the Meat
Market

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 23.-An inves-
tigation of the beef trust is called for
by resolution introduced by Assem-
blyman Andrew +! Murray, Repub-
lican, of Manhattan. The resolution,
which went over until tomorrow
night, is as follows:
Whereas, The retail prices Of meats
in the city of New York are higher
than at any time in the history of the
United States, which prices do not re-
suit from economic laws and are out of
all proportion to the ability of the
great mass of wage earners in the city
of New York to pay said excessive
prices for this necessity of life; and
Whereas, The recent statement of
Swift & Co. for the year shows a net
profit of IA per cent on 100000, 900 of
stock and it's assets were increased
nearly $12,000,000 after paying interest
on bonds; and
Whereas, 1t appears in the public
press that Swift 81 Co. and the Ma
tional~Packing company now have and
by agreement are about to control all
the supply, packing provision and beef
companies engaged in the sale of meats
to the retail trade in the city of New
York, and that the National Packing
&C npany is about to acquire every re-
tail butcher store in the city of New
York desired by such trust; and
Whereas, Said monopoly is in re-
straint of trade and in violation of the
antitrust laws of the United States
and the state of New York, and
against the general welfare of the peo-
pie of the city of New York; there
fore, be it
Resolved That the legislature of the
state of New York request the hon
orable attorney general of the United
States and the honorable attorney gem
eral of the state of New York to in
quire into the existence Of such mo-
nopoly or contemplated monopoly, and
to bring such actions or proceedings as
may be necessary to dissolve restrain
and prevent said monopoly, and to
prosecute criminally all those con-
cerned in such conspiracy as in such
cases made and provided by federal
and state statutes"
A resolution providing for an inves-
tigation of the high price of foodstuffs
and increased cost of living was pre-
scented in the assembly by Minority
Leader FriSbie

ALASKAN LANDS
ARE UNENTERED
COMMISSIONER SAYS NO APP
PLICATI0NS PASSED
CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS MAY BE
INSTITUTED
General Land Office Recommends
Prosecution in Cases Where
Fraud Is Alleged to Have
Been Practiced
Associated Pressi

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-According
TO statement issued today by Com
missioner bennett Of the general land
office, none Of the applications to enter
Alaska coal lands have passed to entry.
1t also is shown that in the Alaska coal
cases preliminary adverse reports have
been received covering about 700 en-
tries.
The Cunningham group of thirty
three entries, on which payment was
made in 1906 and 1907, and which Will
cut an important figure in the Balm
ger-Pinchot inquiry, are now in hear
ing upon adverse reports of special
agents.
- Z mai reports have i1GGG received upon
100 entries, on large number of which
the general land office has recommend
ed criminal proceedings. Adverse pro-
ceedings to cancel entries have been dt-
rected upon most of the entries finally
reported upon by agents.
In the United States at large final adj
verse reports from agents have been
received in the last twelve months on
eases involving more than 100000 acres
of land within the United States. Much
of this is coal land.
1t appears from this report that In
the last eight years coal lands within
the United States have been obtained
by fraud to the extent of more than
$4,000 acres. These entries usually cover
the best of the coal and are today es-
timated as being worth S10,000,000
1t is declared that if mined on a roy
atty sufficiently low to enable indepen-
dent operators to compete with exist
ing coal combinations, returns to the
government would reach more than
500, 100000. All of these patents are
from five to eight years old.
Indications are that the fiscal year
ending June, 1870 will show $4,000 acres
of patented land recorded and that
cash collections win approximate the
$100O,000 appropriation for the work.
Reports involving more than $3,000,
900 in timber trespass also have been
made in the year. Suits have been filed
in most of these cases.
In the six months ended January 1.
$247,521 was collected ON account of
public land cases, and in the fiscal
year 19OS-19, $405, 440. Collections for
the preceding four years were less than
100000.

BRAVERY OF SKIPPER
SAVES FIFTEEN LIVES
CAPTAIN OF FISHING SMACK
DEFIES OCEANS PERILS
Rows to Wrecked Schooner and Res.
cues Those Aboard Who Had
Been Lashed to Rigging
for Ten Hours

EDGARSTOWNs Mass, Jan. 23.-The
six-masted schooner Mertie B. Crowley
lies tonight total wreck on the reefs
off Martha's Vineyard island. The
Crowley was bound from Baltimore to
Boston with coal.
To the bravery of Skipper Levi jack
son of the Edgarstown fishing smack
Priscilla is due the rescue of the fif-
leen persons aboard the Crowley-Capt.
Haskell, Mrs. Haskell and the crew Of
thirteen, The shippers wife, like the
others, was dashed for ten hours to the
rigging of the battered schooner.
The schooner hit the rocks at $40
this morning, the man at the wheel
making out Edgarstown light as that
of Block island.
At 10 o'clock the Crowley broke in
two. Efforts to get out to the schooner
before noon were unsuccessful, because
of the great seas. Capt. Jackson late
this afternoon finally reached the
wreck. Then he anchored, and four
dories, manned by as many fishermen,
took off the crew.

Draws Conclusions

RAILROAD financial arrangements
should incorporate an educational
scheme as a definite part of their pol
icy. Such policies should be inaugu-
rated for periods of not less than hVe
years, preferably ten, otherwise the
money appropriated will be largely
wasted" Mr.. Eaton writes in con-
clusion.
Railroads should extend the prin-
ciples of definite apprenticeship to
every department of the service, and
should provide for two or more grades
of apprentices in order to take account
of differences in capacity and work
done elsewhere, either in properly ac-
credited schools or by experience, and
leading to different grades of service
In executing the policy of educa-
ton announced by the directors, there
should be a superintendent of educa-
ton reporting directly to higher Of
ficial such superintendent to be thor
oughly informed of the educational
policy of the railroad and the broad
considerations on which it rests. His
department should Systematically re-
cruit the employees throughout the
service and certify, on request, to their
records and general efficiency in the
early stages of promotion.
Efficiency should be recognized by
an efficiency wage, stated distinctly
apart from the seniority wage.
employees should be encouraged to
take outside courses of instruction or
experience without FORGETTING their
tenure, and, so far as possible, the
educational department should sys-
tematically turn to account every out
side educational agency by suggesting
courses, uniting in cooperative
courses and recognizing the work done
in those courses, to the end that the
DRY and practice be joined"

A GREAT FIELD OF OPPOR-
TUNITIES IN PLEASANTvILLE

The diffusions of enthusiasm which
you hear and read concerning Pleasant
ville's opportunities are not vagaries or
dreams of castles in the air. The op-
portunities are realities. They are fert-
lie fields that are producing for you
every day. As Pleasantville advances to
the greater prominence to which it will
positively attain, the persons who will
profit personally will be those who see
the opportunities and help develope
them.
You have seen Pleasantville grow, and
know that it is now growing at rapid
pace, but do you know the factors of its
makeup or what is causing it to grow
All that is required to find out the real
cause is closer study, with that study
will come the knowledge why Pleasant
vile is fast developing into coast city.
Within the boundaries of Pleasantville
houses are springing up in every direc-
tion. New streets and high class resi-
Dental sections are being laid out to
meet the increasing population. Large
tracts of land are being sold in building
lots to the best class of home seekers,

is nothing but open fields and farm land.
Take for instance, Blenheim and Oak
hurst, large tract that is rapidly de-
veloping into beautiful residential sec
tion. Ten houses are now in operation
with many more promised, this new sec
tion is building up like magic. 1t is
the fastest growing spot in Pleasant
vile and is showing wonderful build
ing boom for the short time it has been
on the market. Fine residences are be-
ing built and laid out in keeping with
the property restrictions which demand
regal beauty, stately and commodious
homes, and the added beauty of green's
ward, beautiful Towering plants and ex
otics.
A large number of our home people
are taking advantage of this one grand
opportunity for investment, as well as
people from all parts of the United
States. The people who come here
either as visitors or home seekers are
Immediately impressed with the great
opportunities for investment here, they
are picking all the plums that rightfully
belong to Pleasantville, outside capital
is getting hold of every available inch
of ground which is bringing growth and
prosperity to our pretty seashore town.
A great amount of credit should be given
