ECONOMIES OF HARVEST

1t is possible for careless help to
leave a considerable portion of the
grain crop in the field by neglecting to
gather up scatterings, loose bundles,
etc.' and by hauling grain on oren-
oottom racks. From a few pounds to
few bushels Of grain may be saved
every DAY during sacking, by using a
tlgnt. boom rack, or canvas over the
rack that will catch all of the gram
that is shattered out of the heads. In
seasons when the grain skaters badly,
a surprisingly large amount of grain
can car be saved in this way.-A. D.

NEWSPAPER SPACE

Some people do not seem to under
stand why newspaper should charge
for the publicity 1t affords. They
think 1t should make favorable men
ton of private business enterprises as
q matter of everyday policy without
cost to the enterprises thus bene-
fitted. A newspaper conducted on
this line would have very brief ex-
istence. A southern paper states
some pertinent facts in saying:
Every line In newspaper costs it's
publisher something. II it is to bene-
fit some individual, he may fairly ex-
pect to pay something You do not
go into a grocery store and ask the
proprietor to hand you out ten pounds
OF sugar for nothing, even though the
grocer may be personal friend and
the gift might not be large one. If
the beneficiary of advertising does
not pay for it, the proprietor has to
settle the bill Nevertheless, many
people cannot seem to learn that a
newspaper pays its expenses sby rent
ing space and that it is just as much
entitled to collect rent for every day
that space is occupied as you are for
the house you rent to tenant.

The Riaht View.

Galesburg Republican, Register: we
admire the answer that j. Kelley.
manager Of the Chicago Tribune. made
to Hines. the lumberman, for 1t illus
trates an ethical point. Hines had
put an advertisement in the Tribune
at cost of 5000. The management
OF course presumed that Hines want
ed to advertise his lumber business
and accordingly the ad was thought
to represent legitimate business
transaction. The lumber company got
the advertising which was what it had
paid for. But Hines did not insert
that 'ad'' for advertising purposes.
He was trying to influence national
legislation on the tariff question.
That issue was before congress. He
wanted to line up the Tribune Evi-
IDENTIFY he thought that this could be
done through the business depart
ment. The Tribune, however, did not
sioe with Hines on lumber duties. So
Hines betook himself to the Tribune
Office and intimated that the 5000 was
designed to influence the policy of the
Tribune, that 1t was a gift with that
Interior object in view. The answer
of Kelley was that there was no con-
nection between the editorial and
business departments of the Tribune,
and he gave Hines back his $780, No
gift there. A little incident like that
greatly enhances ones respect for
the Tribune 1t is being openly
charged by writer in Golfers that
the editorial policies OF the American
press are being too much framed by
the business end and LaFollette pub
licly made practically the same charge
the other day in the national senate.
A man that will buy space in a news
paper not for legitimate advertising
bit to use as bride or club in the
forming of opinions Is none too good
to spend money on members of leg
islature.

WickERsHAM FOR FEDERAL CON


n0Es
The radical proposition that all the
big industrial corporations or trusts
should be controlled and supervised
by the government much as the rail-
roads are now supposed to be govern
ed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was plainly advocated by At
torney General Wickersham in his
recent address before the Minnesota
Bar Association at Duluth While he
did not say in SO many words that
he reflected the views of President
Taft, it was inferred at once that he
and the President must be in substan-
tial accord on this question. Mr..
Wickersham referred to the fact that
further regulation of corporations had
been openly advocated recently by the
heads of some of the largest corpor-
ations menaced by the recent inter
probation of the Sherman law.
The attorney general suggested the
creation of new bureau or commits
sion to handle these Industrial activ-
tiles, and even went so far as to in.
have to deal with the regulation of
prices of commodities just as the
Commerce Commission deals with rail-
road rates. He said that the theory
on which antitrust legislation now
rests is that prices are fixed by the
operation of the natural law of sup
ply and demand working without
artificial restraint" But he remark
ed that "the fact is that the law of
supply and demand does not and has
not for many years worked in this
country in natural. unrestrained and
unfettered manner He went on to
say first how the government exercjs-
ED an artificial restraint in the pro-
tective tariff on imports. Then he
thinks it safe to say that for years the
principal producers in almost every
one of the great staple industries
have fixed prices by mutual agree
ment and that prices of necessities
have not been fixed at all by supply
and demand with those who have
had to pay the bill having any voice
in fixing the price {" Hence he argues
the reasonableness of letting the pub
lie have some say about prices. Still
he fears that the practical obstacles
In the way of price fixing by the gov
eminent are well nigh insurmount-
able
