Truck Gardens for the West.

The suggestion OF George l.. Nc
Donaugh of the Union Pacific Bureau
of Land that Omaha will some day
become the gateway to a vast truck
farming country TO the west, is, We
believe, more important than people
have yet begun to realize. That Mr..
McDonaugh has the right of an expert
opinion on this subject goes without
saying, because of his intimate knowl-
'edgA of the west and It's resources.
Irrigation and other agencies of land
culture Rnd conservation are being ex-
tensixely practiced in the west, and
yet the system is in its infancy. Its
natural 'resuh is colonization, and we
have only begun to COLOMBO this vast
empire, Nebraska. Colorado, South
Dakota and Wyoming, to say nothing
of all the other states further away
frcm Omaha, have space on the best
of soil for millions OF settlers. When
this space is occupied more thoroughly
than it is today, when the land is sub
divided more generally, when each
family cultivates a small area and cul-
tivates it upon a scientific basis, then
we shall see the fruition of this dream.
Then We shall see Omaha, the natural
Gate City, as the gateway to this king
dom of prodigious wealth, this land
Of many homes and small farms.
he L.
ment which this country holds out to
the farmer of the future is that of
truck farming. Opportunity for the
greatest wealth is along that line.
Omaha, with it's excellent railroad IA
cilitieS, connecting with every section
of this great west and the east, will be
within easy reach, freight rates and
facilities of transportation will be i'm
proved and distance thus annihilated.
| New roads today are being constructed
all through this country and others are
being planned. But the truck farmer
will not be obliged to depend solely
on Omaha for his market. There are
Denver and hundreds of other smaller
cities and towns to help out locally
The main export center, of course, will
be Omaha. for it is but one step from
this city to Chicago, St. Louis and
other larger cities.
1t is not imaginative at all to per-
ceive such conditions just ahead of us
and when they come, added to the
great stock raising and grain produc-
ing resources. our wealth will mount
to such proportions that we shall won
der how we ever retarded the progress

Triumph Of Justice.

Get the man higher up" has been
the cry of the people every time the
government has undertaken the prose
cution Of large corporations. This cry
is met. completely and securely, in
the conviction and sentence of Charles
r. Heike. former secretary and treas
urer of the American Sugar Refining
company, known as the Sugar trust.
Heike's sentence to the New York
penitentiary, in addition to a fine of
$4,000. is the climax of distinguished
triumph of justice, coming after the
conviction and sentence of men Of less
magnitude in the company's employ.
1t not only proves the good faith and
determination of the national admins
tration to go to the very bottom OF
these criminal charges. without refer
ence to persons or interests, but 1t de-
monstrates the power of the govern
ment to enforce law and punish law
breakers when such enforcement is en-
trusted to fearless and able authority
whether the violators of the law are
malefactors of grea, wealth or i'm
pecunious crooks. But what is OF ad-
ditional import is the fact that before
the government secured the conviction
and Imprisonment of all these men, il
secured the return to its treasury OF
more than $4,000, 900, which they stole
through their skillful frauds.
The Taft administration has shown
the people, better than it could tell
them, what its attitude is toward high
crime. The lesson rs thorough and
most impressive. 1t will stand in the

Iowa Railroad Earnings.

1OWh hhllfOdu EdTnluRb.
In pressing their. claims for higher
rates on the ground that increased
wages and cost Of operation have cut
down net earnings, railroads will do
well to go TO other states than Iowa
for their material for argument The
records in Iowa do not show the facts
as they state them. 1t would be in
teresting to know Just how the reports
in Iowa compare with those Of other
states, too.
The thirty-second annual report of
the Board of Railroad Commissioners
Of Iowa for the year ending December
z, 1909, is Just out, and according to
its table OF revenues for every year
since 1873. the net earnings keep pace
very well with the gross earnings, in
fact they show a gain as between 1908
and 1909 for instance, both in the ag-
gregate and per mile and at theysame
time, astonishing as Il may seem, the
average daily wage paid to employees
was less in 1909 than in 1903. 1t is
important to know this, inasmuch as
the railroads have based their whole
case upon the facts involved.
Gross and net earnings alike
reached their maximum in Iowa in
1907, when. they were respectively,
$72,S26,331 and S21,713.954, and like
wise the net earnings per mile, which
we're S2,211, were greater that year
than ever before or SINCE. But so was
everything else in the business line
greater in 1907. Earnings of nearly
all kinds reached their climax just be-
fore the financial strlngency, so that
1t is not a fair test to use the figures
of 1907 in the railroad or any other
business as the average or as reason
able standards. But since 1907 in
Iowa gross and net earnings have
been going up, while wages of railroad
employees, from a percentage stand
point, have gone down. In 1908 the
railroads of Iowa had gross earnings
of $67,74S,279 and net earnings of
$1S,257,251, or net earnings per mile
to road of 1857. IN 1909 these f1g-
ures stood: Gross earnings, $69,4O5,-
31S; net earnings, S1S,731,440, and
net per mile, 1887, a consistent gain
all the way through. On the other
hand, in 1908 the railroads OF Iowa
had 1888 employees at an aggregate
compensation of $23,O43,622 or an
average daily wage OF $2.33, while in
1909 they bad 44,910 employees at a
combined compensation of $29,456,-
772, or an average daily wage of $2.22,
a decrease of IL cents day to the
man.
The board in it's report says; The
state of Iowa was the pioneer in fixing
rates within state limits. For twenty
years and more the people OF the state
have been enjoying much DOVER local
rates than any adjoining states."- And
again: The records of this board
show that for years It has been lower.

This being the csse, the railroads
cannot eliminate Iowa from general
consideration. In'fsct, the weight OF
argument 1t against their contention
for II they can consistently maintain
Increased gross and net earnings on q

LeRtHlRtton.
St. Louis Globe Democrat uep)
Prohibition. turned more votes against
Governor Fernald OF Maine than any other
single question. For many years prohibi-
ton has been a dead weight round the neck
OF the republican party OF that state.
Maine invented prohibition. when that fad
first began to be mentioned outside that
state II was popularity called the Maine
law" It has been on the books there for
nearly two generations But in the larger
cities Of the state it was never enforced,
and never can be enforced. II has never
been enforced in large towns anywhere.
Statute after statute has been passed to
strengthen the hands OF the law admin
istrstors in the hope Of making prohibit
ton effective, the latest OF these being
the Sturgis act. All were vain.
Although public sentiment throughout
Maine has long demanded a full and free
vote Of the people on prohibition, this
aspiration has been denied by the inner
circle Of the republican party. Republicans
as well as democrats have asked for the
resubmission OF the prohibition amendment
to the state constitution, but this wish has
always been defeated. The republican ma
chine has obstinately and blindly chung to
this impossible exclusion policy. Bill after
bill In the interest Of liberalism and prac-
ticalism on the liquor issue have been
vetoed by republican governors. Fernald
killed a measure Of this sort year ago.
One of the results of the democratic rev.
olution In Maine will be that the people
Of the state will be permitted to express
their sentiments on prohibition as a state
wide policy The result Of this coming
plebiscite can be stated beforehand with
positiveness. The prohibition which at
tempts TO spread itself over hostile as
well as friendly communities will be abol-
ished, and enforcible measure, either con-
stitutional statutory, will be enacted,
giving counties or towns the privilege, In
dependenty. of admitting intoxicants I'M
der proper restraints through license and
surveillance, or of excluding them A large
element Of the republican party is against
the continuance of the statewide prohibit
ton farce. With a sensible and practicable
local option act on the books the republ-
| cans will be emancipated from all connec-
ton with this antiqusted hypocrisy, and
| they will soon regain their control OF the

AN EXCELLENT COMMISSION.
Inquiry Into stock and Bond Issues
of Common Carriers.


Harper's Weekly.
Two economists, two lawyers and a banker
that seems a sensible composition for the
national commission on the stock and bond
issues of common carriers engaged in in
terstate commerce. When, moreover II is
known that the two economists, President
Hadley OF Yale and Prof. Meyer of Wis
consin have both specialized on railways
and made themselves authorities In that
field; that the two lawyers, Mr.. Frederick
N. Judson of st. Louis, and Mr. Walter L.
Fisher of Chicago. have both distinguished
themselves in railway litigation; and that
the banker, Mr.. Frederick Strauss of New
York, is also a student of economies, one
feels that President Tafts selection is
pretty nearly ideal. Some of us may have
misgiVings at seeing so many new COM
missions set up. and so much governmental
work turned over to them-at the constant
increase of governmental machinery and
the steady widening of the scope of govern
mental activity. But that tendency seems
at present too strong to resist and the
only thing we can insist upon IL that all
this new work which the government is I'M
dertaking shall be given to the best men
available In fact respect for President
Taft is doing very we'll indeed-so well
that most OF his appointments command
the instant approval of both parties and of
