HARVESTER COMPANY
ASKS FOR new TRIAL
Company Objects to Punish
ment for "Mere Possession
of Power" Says Motion

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Nov. 20
Quoting Colonel Roosevelt's recent dec
laration for a square deal" for both the
corporations and the public. the In
ternational Harvester company today
filed in the supreme court of Missouri
a motion for a rehearing in the recent
case. in which it was condltionally
ousted from the state and fined $4,000
on charges of violating the state anti
trust law. The gist of the motion is
that the Harvester company ought not
to be punished for the mere possession
of power, and it announced it's ''intel-
ton of vigorously resisting the inc
The brief quotes this language from
the courts opinion by Chief Justice
Valiant:
ION the whole the evidence shows
that the international Harvester COM
pany- has not used it's power 10 Cypress
or injure the farmers who are its Gus
toners"
Also from a. separate opinion OF
Judge Franklin Ferriss, of st. Lonis,
as follows:
I'm this case the court is required by
the statute to pronounce judgment OF
condemnation on a combination which Is
proved by the facts in this record to
have been so far beneficial to the com
munity that the price of mowers
and reapers has not been raised in pro-
portion to the increased cost of materials
and labor, and that otherwise Incidental
benefits have accrued to the consumers,
and furthermore, that Independent manu-
facturers have not suffered by reason OF
the combination"
Referring to the fine the company says
il will oppose 1t, mot so much because
of it's amount as because of the fact as
is commended, that so large fine VIII
create the impression that the company
has been unfair or oppressive in its deal
ings, and therefore deserved so severe 9
punishment. while the language or the
courts opinion is to tne contrary"
The brief quotes former President
Roosevelt as follows:
1--WE demand that big business must
give the people a square deal; In return
we must insist that when any one en-
gagged in big business honestly endeavors
to do right he shall, himself, be given a
square deal
1--WE need to formulate Immediately and
definitely policy which, in dealing with
big corporations that behave them selves
and which contain no menace, save wha'
is necessarily potential in any corpora
ton which is of great size and very
well managed, shall aim, not at their
destruction, but at their regulation ars
supervision"

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
CARTERSVILLE, Ca, Nov. ia
demonstration conducted by the United
States government in the construction
Of a frst-class sand-clay road will be
made in Whitfield county within a short
time. Enough money and work has been
pledged and the government viii send
an expert TO supervise the work.
The determination to have this work
done grew out of the visit OF the West
ern and Atlantic good roads train there
Saturday. d. H. winslow. the govern
ment expert, accompanying the train.
having assured the good roads enthusi-
asts that the government would be glad
to make the demonstration.
This Is the result of the Western and
Atlantic railroad Improvement train,
which made trip over that line this
week, stopping at every station showing
the people demonstrations OF road
building.
Barlow county is now in position TO
do some fine work on its roads as soon
as the inclement and disagreeable
weather passes away. Some of the latest
and most up-to-date road working ma
chinery which the county recently pur-
chased will be worked out on the roads.
The new machinery cost the county
the sum of $3.lS7. but it was very badly
needed and will mean a great deal in a
few years time in money that will be
saved the county In its purchase now.
The outfit consists. ~ a ten-ton 265-
horsepower gasoline engine Austin
Western make. which is an engine with
the road roller combined. eombina-
ton rIdder pillow and two and a half
ton road scarifier
This machinery arrived last week and
it was Immediately sent to work on a
road through the lands of Mr.. Smalley
on what Is known as the new river
road. The engine is intended to do the
work of p mules, so the public can read
lily see what a great thing the new ma
chinery viii mean to the county, as it
will cause the commissioners to have a
great deal of work done ON the roads.
The scariier carries with il a capacity
OF four ordinary plows. and the pur-
pose in buying il was not only to use
on the roads, but also to cut down the
hills where they are very hard and
rocky. Wherever this machinery has
been used IL has proved a perfect sue
cess. The board of commissioners Sc
cured their information largely from the
board of commissioners of Hamilton
county. Tenn, where they now have in
operation four of these machines, and
Commissioners Gilreath, Veach and
wischmeyer visited Hamilton county and
saw the machine there in operation be-
fore purchasing this one.
The machines are all guaranteed by
large road machinery concern In the
west to give perfect satisfaction.
The board OF commissioners are to be
congratulated upon the purchase of this
splendid road working machinery.
