Over in Logan County, Illinois,
thirty farmers entered into contest
last year to see who could raise the
largest yield of corn on the same

per acre, so the difference between
good and bad seed was 27 bushels per
acre.
A similar contest in Putnam Coun-
ty, Ill. among 16 farmers; in the same
field and same kind Of soil; lowest
yield was Is bushels, the highest 1O6
bushels per acre. The difference be-
tween good and bad seed was 81 bu-

Is It Possible?

Another Legislature met and about
to adjourn and still have failed to re-
lieve the state of it's exodus. While
scores are leaving the state every year
on account of excessive taxation which
in many cases amount to double. For
instance, T.. w. Barhydt was q
wealthy capitalist of Burlington, his
assessment was raised flom nothing
to $780, 900. He fought it through the
courts on the ground that he had ta-
ken up his residence in California on
account of unjust tax laws, aud the
courts have sustained him. Take the
Beckwiths and McClures of Mount
Pleasant and our much respected Gov.
Drake's estate and hundreds of others
that we couid mention all gone and
hundreds more will follow. The Jour-
nal is not pessimist but it would be
pleased to see less politics and more
good common sense along these lines
during the meeting of our Legislature,
more done for the relief of lows and
her people, and less photographing,
electrotyping and publishing the cuts

| Views Afoot
THE oMNlPoTENT MONARCH

The power of the sword is waning in
these modern days, and seems already
to have been eclipsed by that of money
1t is not hard to see that wars and ru-
mors of wars hinge upon the commerce
and finance of nations, or that finance
very largely determines the outcome
when war is once begun. And so it is
that we are coming to look upon the
kings of finance as the real rulers of the
modern world.
We have long regarded J. P. Morgan
as man of colossal power and infu-
ence in the affairs of the American ma
ton. Yet it appears that this power
has actually been underrrated, if we
may believe the recent statements re.
garding the stupendous aggregate Of
wealth controlled by him. When we
remember that the total value of all
wealth of all descriptions in the United
States is only about one hundred thirty
billion dollars, the statement that he
alone directs the use of ten billions of
it is almost incredible. The facts are
set forth by the Duluth News-Tribune
as follows:
''There may be richer men ia the
world. Men whose personal holdings
represent . greater cash value, bntss no
other can compare to ]. Pierponts Nor
gan in thsamonnt of capital he con
trolls. Beside him the Rothschilds and
Barring and all other financiers Of any
other country, sink into iasigniicance,
in financial power.
It is estimated that he controls in
vsstments representing $1O, 900, ,0o0, 600.
That is an amount beyond human
comprehension. The basis of this rests
in the three greatest of the New York
banks, in trust companies and insur-
ance companies, which have enormous
surpluses and trust funds.
The investment of such funds have
tremendous reach. Hartman, for in
stance, controlled all his other railroads
through the Union Pacific Largely
in the same way Mr.. Morgan, can die
tate to hundreds of vast corporations,
transportation, industrial and financial
His direct control is said to represent
nearly $4,000, 100000 After this comes
partial control of another So, 500, ,OOO,-
600; but with complete power over
five billions. any partial power as to-
other corporations becomes, in fact,
absolute.
This is all represented in American
companies, while another billion in
Europe answers to his distation thro'
his English and French connections.
1t may be source of pride that this
man is a citizen of the United States,
still in its infancy in DEVELOPMENT.
