There would seem to be slight ex-
cuse for shoddy and Indifferent farm
ing in communities where land is
worth from $50 to 500. and far less
excuse for this type Of management
in fruit valleys where land is priced
at from $500 to $500 an acre, yet not
withstanding this just such fellows
are too often run across. and the query
that naturally arises i'll the mind Of
the newcomer from the sections of
lower priced land IL what the owners
of such abused and neglected proper
ties can be thinking of. The situation
as indicated simply goes to show that
whether in sections of low or high
priced land it is after all, the type of
management rather than favorable OF
unfavorable climatic and soil condi-
tons that may prevail that is response

Figures Called Proof.
"These figures prove there Is no rea-
sonable basis upon which the railroads
can demand an advance in freight
rates. On the contrary. they prove
conclusively that railroad rates already
are too high. Yet practically all the
railroads in the United States have
formed a gigantic combination to in
crease freight rates, which the shippers
who have Investigated the matter as
sert will ultimately increase enormous
!y the cost Of freight transportation.
"The advanced freight rates demand
ed by the railroads, and now being
considered by the interstate commerce
commission, were agreed to by the COM
bined railroads Of the United States,
and are, therefore. clearly in violation
Of the Sherman antitrust law. I
submit to you, gentlemen. the propo-
sition that it is unwise and contrary
to sound public policy for the federal
government to permit these railroads
openly and fiagrantly to violate the
antitrust law by combining for the
purpose Of advancing freight rates, and
thru their unlawful acts enormously
to increase the cost Of transportation
to the American people.
Worse Than Tax on Tea.
If the railroads are thus permitted
to violate the federal laws with impun-
ity, in broad daylight. and thereby in
crease their profits millions Of dollars
per annum, what incentive has any cit
izen to respect the law, when he can
increase his income by breaking it?
The amount Of tax money collected by
the British empire from the American
colonists, without representation, prob
ably would not amount to l per cent of
the tribute and extortion which the
consuming American public are now
compelled to pay to illegal combina-
tions. trusts and monopolies every year.
:'The honor. manhood and moral
cha racter Of our republic are involved
in the relation Of the federal govern
ment to this monstrous condition. which
offends every sense Of justice. decency
