FIREMAN ON

DEPARTMENT
Comments on Plan OF Alder
men to Buy Additional
Apparatus.
MAKES ARGUMENT FOR
AN ADVANCE

fireman, writing to the EVENING
NEWS today discusses the FIRE depart
ment and the recent action of tho
Board of Aldermen in an interesting
manner. The writer commen,ls the
purchase Of combination chemical and
hose wagon but urges second class
steamer instead of third class APP
paratus such as we already have. He
makes some timely comparisons and
offers to back up what he says. A plea
is also made in behalf Of the hook aud
ladder. The letter is as follows.
The Letter.
Editor EVENING NEWS:
viii you kindly allow me Httls
space in your valuable paper:
In the pernsal Of the local papers
of Tuesday, the 7th instant, I note au
article in reference TO the action ta-
ken by the Board Of Aldermen Of this
city toward the purchase of some new
fire apparatus, namely one third class
steam fire engine and one combination
chemical and hose wagon
In the purchase of the latter namen
type of apparatus, | think that the
board Is to be commended, as in my
mind all of the apparatus connected
with the fire department should carry
at least one chemical tank of about
thirtyfye gallons-. capacity and sufti-
cient hose to properly handle small
fires without the use Of water when
ever possible, as in this way the sctnal
damage is usually lessened to a very
great extent.
Urges Second Class Engine. .s4~.S---s4
In the purchase of ~ tiiffd class steam
fire engine, ] think that the board Is
making very serious mistake mas.
much as this is a city Of over - ,00G
inhabitants and is continually grow
ing We now have two third class
engines in our department and should
from now on be looking into the fus
Iture and be purchasing larger types af
apparatus, for instance; why dom I the
board purchase second class engine
for the business district, and place
the third class engine now at Lins

ConfiscntiOn Not the Purpose of the
statute.

1t is not the purpose OF the statute
to cOnfscate the property and capital OF
the offending trusts. Methods Of punish
ment by fine or imprisonment Of the in
dividual offenders. by fine of the corpora

transportation, are provided, but the pro-
Ceeding in equity is a specific remedy to
stop the operation OF the trust by in
junction and prevent the future use of
the plant and capital in violation of the
statute.

Federal Incorporation Recon-
mended.
In a special message to Congress on
January :. 1910. | ventured to point out
the disturbance to business that would
probably attend the dissolution of these
offending trusts. / said:
But such an investigation and possible
prosecution of corporations whose pros
perity or destruction affects the comfort
not only of stockholders but of millions
of wage earners, employees. and asso-
ciated tradesmen, must necessarily tend
to disturb the confidence of the business
community, to dry up the now flowing
sources of capital from its places of
boarding, and produce halt in our pres
ent prosperity that will cause suffering
and strained circumstances among the
innocent many for the faults of the
guilty few. The question which I wish
IN this message to bring clearly to the
and discussion OF Congress
Is whether, in order TO avoid such a
possible business danger. something can
not be done by which the business COM
binations may be offered means, with
out great financial disturbance. of chang
ing the character, organization, and ex-
tent of their business into one within
the lines of the law under Federal con-
troll and supervision, securing compliance
with the antitrust statute.
Generally, in the Industrial combina-
tions called trusts the principal busi-
ness Is the sale of goods in many States
and in foreign markets; in other words,
The interstate and foreign business far
the business done in any one
State. This fact will justify the Federal
government in granting Federal char |
.er to such a combination to make and !
sell in interstate and foreign commerce |
he products of useful manufacture un-
Ter such limitations as will secure a |
compliance with the anti-trst law. 1t Is |

to maintain the price of Is cents
per pound on cotton. this surplus
would have to be taken care of and
stored. No one except the farmer is
directly interested in maintaining the
price Of cotton at Is cents per pound,
therefore, he alone can be expected
from the market.
The Southern States Cotton Corpor-
alton, by it's system has worked out a
plan by which farmers can not only
keep this surplus off the market, but
can carry it as an investment with
out loss and with reasonable inter
est on their money. For every mil
lion bales raised, over and above the
requirements of the world it will
take 1 cent per pound on the total
number of bales to carry the excess
million bales, SO that if 100000
bales are produced, the farmers can
expect to get only IA cents in cash
before the end of twelve months; if
10000 900 bales are produced he
can expect only Is cents in cash with
in the following twelve months; if
Is, 1000 bales are produced he can
expect only IL cents in cash within
the following twelve months; if 49,
100000 bales are produced, then
only II cents in cash during the fol-
lowing twelve months.
The Southern States Cotton Cor
pOration will take off the market the
surplus cotton and will have is
sued against it, scrip or notes, bear
ing per cent. interest which can be
used as any other first-class collater-
al or notes may be used, since this
scrip will be issued on actual cotton
held in store by this corporation in
bonded warehouses.

the form per cent scrip or in
terest-bearing notes.
This simply means that the cotton
growers themselves had invested all
OF their profits in raising cotton in
this scrip which they could use for
collateral, or for any purpose Just
the same as if it were stocks or
bonds of any corporation. Thus
while the farmer would be holding
his cotton off the market he would
be drawing interest on it's value,
whereas Gas formerly, he would in
the first instance be losing interest
on the investment, and in the second,
interest on the investment together
with warehouse and insurance charg-
eS.
Suppose the worlds needs are 12,-
100000 bales and the South's pro-
duction is $4,000, 900 bales. under
this condition the farmer would get
ID cents per pound Immediately or
in 6 per cent. interest bearing scrip,
payable in ninety days, just as the
farmer elects, and cents would be
issued in 6 per cent interest-bearing
scrip, which scrip would be redeemed
as soon as the cotton was disposed of
to the mills, as then the money re-
ceived from such sale would at once
be subject to the order of the own
er Of the scrip.
Suppose, however, the worlds re-
qu1rements to be 100000 bales
and the South's production is 49,
600, 900 bales, there would then be
surplus of 100000 and in order

concisely: The proposition of this
corporation means that it will put
the cotton raised in the South to
good uses: First it will put into the
channel Of trade as much cotton rails

which gives only fair return on it's
