Combinations Of Retailers.

BY trusts and industrial conbIn-
atoms one ordinarily means the
great corporations whose operations
are national. even worldwide in eX-
tent. and the statistical data given
refer to Them. The Secretary OF AZ
riculture has lately called attention
TO local combinations of retail de-
learss who have possibly an even
greater influence upon the cost OF
living. Although as yet there are
no trustworthy statistics on 4 large
scale that can enable us to prove
such general influence, personal
observation in different localities
confirms his statement. In small
towns and cities the butchers and
grocers often have associations tt
promote their common interests, ana
it is known that in some instances
at least their activity goes 10 the
extent of influencing city councils
to place difficulties in the way OF
competitors from outlying towns,
and even to agreements upon retail
prices. 1t is much easier to secure
statistics on matters that affect the
whole country, such as the wholesale
prices asked for by the great combin-
ations but there is good reason for
believing that careful study of re-
tail prices made in, say one hundred
different localities in various parts
of the country. together with the
margin of profit and cost of selling
between Wholesale and retail prices,
would show an influence not less
than that eXerted by the great
trusts.
1t seems probable, too, that these
local combinations would account to
some extent not merely for high
prices but also for increased prices
as the growth and influence of such
organizations seem to be, relatively
Speaking, recent. 1t is to be hoped
tht the Investigations to be under
taken by Congress will not overlook
this important factor.-F'rOm 10

A Feasible Plan.

Anent the building of trolley lines
in Chehalis county, G.. NJ. Powell Of
fers a suggestion that is practical,
one that would do much to hasten
the building of those aids to material
development. Mr.. Powell proposes
that the commercial bodies of the
county join in an organized effort
to survey a route between Aberdeen
and Elma, and secure the right Of
way to be turned over to any COM
pany that will build and operate the
line within a reasonable time.
This could be accomplished by To-
cal organizations cheaper than by
any other means, and we would have
a much better proposition to offer
the necessary capital than giving
them rights over the wagon roads,
where the necessary restrictions
would prove a serious handicap.

A Rakeof of Two Millions.

In their attacks on the Roosevelt
Taft conservation policies the Port
land Oregonian, Judge c. II. Hanfor1
and other reaetlonaries frequently
refer in awe and generation to "our
historic land system"
The news columns of the Portland
papers have just reported a concrate
example of the beauties of this his
toric method of raiding the public
timber lands. 1t appears from these
reports that Henry Turish of Duluth
and associated capitalists, wishing
to engage in the manufacture of lum-
Der in the Nehalem country, west
ern Oregon, have purchased $4,000
acres of rich timber lands from "the
Benson holdings" and paid for this
timber approximately 100000.
1t seems that the Benson interests
had done nothing to develope these
holdings and are raking off in a
speculative way nearly all of this
100000. Before manufacturers
who mean business can start indus
try and payrolls they must buy off
the spectators.
For these $4,000 acres of rich tim
Der lands the United States govern
ment-the people-received $3.50 an
acre, or a total of $4,000, a mere
bagatelle compared with the huge
profits that have been made by a
few shrewd spectators operating
under our "benehcient historic land
system. SPOKANE Spokesman Re-

A HELPLESS NAVY
LESLIE n, SHAW SAYS PRESENT
NAVY Is USELESS.
Former Secretary OF ihc TroaSurY
Says Hostile Army Could Land on
Puget Sound without Firing d
Shot. Ba'iIeshiDs Are Helpless
without Golfers.

PHILADELPHIA, Pc, March. L.
Leslie VI. Shaw. former secretary OF
the treasurer, today denied that he
had predicted war with Japan i'm his
recent speech at MOrristoWn. Y. J.
which is said TO have occasioned
comment in Tokyo.
Il did cite certain well known
facts. the logic of which spell war. "
said Mr.. Shaw. Il cited the fact that
we sent 16 warships to the Pacific
ocean to demonstrate our poWerss,
and hired - ships built of foreign
material in foreign yards, and float
ing foreign flags, to carry the nee
essary supplies, and stated what all
men know, that one hostile shot
from the meanest country that owns
a gun would have sent every one Of
these home, for no country would
consent to have its flag mixed up in
our contentious. We are at peace
with the world, and yet in 1909 the
war department hired more than 40
foreign ships to do its work. We sent
food to the soldiers in the Philip
pines in Japanese bottoms
Il called attention to the fact that
Japan can-I did not say she will,
but that she can-put 100000 SOL
diers in Hawaii in 80 days without
firing a shot, and, being at war, we
could not put 100000 over there to
contest the territory in two years.
We have no ships with which to do
| it and, in event of war, we could
neither hire or buy.
Puget Sound Unprotected
Japan can land fleet at Seattle
any foggy day without so much as
causing the barking of a dog and
she can march her troops down the
coast and take every excuse for forth
fications which we have on the coast
without serious opposition. Not one
of the forts is protected from the
rear and cannons that are mount
ed to defend against an attack by
sea cannot be turned around in 10
minutes to resist an attack from the
land.
also recited the fact that, if every
powder mill in the United States
were to make powder "a hourse per
day for more than 80 day the product
would last our present navy two
hours, so that in case of war, if every
powder mill were to quit making
sporting powder and blasting powder
and work "a hours per day for the
government, we could fight two hours
every month.
"These are not state secrets. Every
body knows them except ourselves.
And still we go on building battle
ships.
In this we do well, but battle
ships without colliers and trans
ports are absolutely worthless. In
case of war we could not get our At
lantic fleet to San Francisco. No
vessel in the fleet can carry enough
coal to take it there, and we have
no GOLFERS and could then hire none.
| did not predict war, but | did pre-
dict what we would wake up to in
case of war"

Where the Blame Rests.

While the disposition at the meet
ing of the county commissioners
Tuesday seemed to favor giving the
commissioners and the lnterurpan
comDanv credit for a disinterested
attempt to hasten the development
of Chehalis county, by the building
OF trolley lines over the county roads,
those gentlemen appear to feel abus-
ed by the opposition that developed
to their plan, and, yet, they have no
one to blame but themselves.
Every move from the inception OF
this scheme lent color to the Susplc-
ion that plan was alOOt that meant
control of the public highways for
private interests, and that by some
means, two of the county commits
sioners had become pledged to fur
Their the scheme. AS first moOted,
the plan covered perpetual rights
over practically all the roads in the
county, and its official publication
was made where it would be read
by comparatively few people, the
county official paper being ignorol.
The presumtion that secrecy was
desired was fully justified.
The quick passage of the franchise
for fifty years, in which the rights
Of the public were absolutely left
j.
mite that it was invalidated by the
court, fully justified the suspicion
that the commissioners were either
unwilling or incapable of protecting
the interests of the people from such
a scheme, SO that all the blame that
attaches to this i'll advised attempt
has been engendered by the project
ors, and the officials who were SO
prompt to act in their behalf.
The possibility exists that those
people-or some Of them-were
they now have the opportunity to
demonstrate their sincerity. They
have heard the sentiment of the coun-
ty in the most positive manner pos
sible as opposed to railroads on the
highways. Their effort has directed
attention to interurban possibilities
in this region-as soon as they will
pay to operate. They can make this
demonstration by the prompt with
drawal Of their application, and unit
ing with the county as a whole in
a big effort to secure such lines
built like other railroads-on pri-
yate rights of way.

SETS NEW RECORD FOR
MEADOWS AT SEATTLE

Seattle was the scene of another
Stearns triumph when A. c. Stevens
of that city, driving a -year-old
30-60 horsepower Stearns set a new
mile record for the Meadows track,
covering the distance in one minute
3 1-5 seconds.
The track was in poor condition for
it had been sprinkled too freely. This
rendered the turns exceedingly danger
Gus and Stevens was often obliged to
shut down. With perfect track, the
consensus of opinion was that the mile
would have been negotiated well under
the minute mark.
This record is all the more remark
able owing to the fact that the Stearns
factory maintains no racing outfit, the
road, track and hill victories being won
by private owners.
