Washington Letter.
By T~ayenner.

"The farmers of Pennsylvania
sold forty eight million dollars
worth of potatoes in New York
last year, but they were not
worth forty-eight millions to the
Pennsylvania farmers. There is
what the New York consumers
paid for them. The Pennsylvan-
la farmers got three and three
quarter millions"
This statement was made by
members of the Pennsylvania
grange who visited New York
City to investigate market con-.
ditions.
These grangers discovered that
a cold storage chicken, weigh,
ing a pound and a halt, sold for
a dollar in Madison avenue. For
that same kind of a chicken the
farmers received twelve and a
half cents a pound, The farmers
bought apples for five cents each,
and offered to sell the vender
from whom they bought them
all he wanted for two dollars a
barrel. Eggs which the farmers
sold for twenty-five cents a
dozen brought forty-five cents
when sold to the New York
This vast difference between
what the farmer gets and what
the consumer pays represents the
unearned profits that flows into
the Golfers of the railroads, the
express companies, and the food
trusts. The railroads get theirs
in the form Of excessive rates,
which must be exacted in order
to pay dividends on watered
stock. The express companies
get theirs by reason of the fact
that one supine Republican adj
ADMINISTRATION after another has
refused to put them under a de

trusts gets theirs by maintaining,
unnecessary cold storage houses,
through which they manipulate
the supply, and create artificial
shortages"
Nearly all the perishable food
supplies which 60 to the cities
are handled by the express com
panies, or by the equally mon

the food trusts, both being owned
by the railroads. Thus the
consumer pays a double haulage
bill. AS soon as these products

NO WAY TO STOP THIS
TRUST.

For years and years the sugar
trust is known to have stolen
from the government. By means
of false weights and tricky
springs to cheat the scales, and
by bribery of government Of
f@icials, this rapacious trust di-
verified into its own Golfers mil
lions of dollars that should have
gone to the government in rev.
enue. The trust was caught red
handed in its thievery, yet no
body was punished nobody went
to Jail.
The government finally put a
stop to the revenue stealing. The
doctored springs were taken
away, and the corrupt customs
collectors were discharged. This
forced the trust to adopt new
methods in order to maintain its
inflated dividends, so recently il
sent out a wall about a "short

almost as high as they were

COST OF NAVY YARDS.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer, speak
ing before a house committee, favors
abandoning half of our navy yards.
Mr. Meyers offensive minding of
other peoples business is deplored by
our politicians, who feel that the prin.
cipal duty of navy is to repair po-
litical fences, and furnish a supply of
reserves always on hand with which
to carry caucuses.
1t is on this account that the ex-
pense of our navy yards has always
been disproportionately large to the
total naval bill. The jackies doing
real navy work on board warship,
who have signed papers under which
they must stand UP in their little
boots and be fired at In case OF war,
are too far distant from any particu-
lar polling place to become cogs in
any political machine.
Meanwhile, the land lubbers and
hangers on and sinecurists of our re-
pair shops live within half a mile Of
the place where caucuses are held and
they always vote straight. They must
be cared for.
Thus it is that in five years up to
1909 it cost 100000 to maintain
our navy yards. During similar pc.
riod the maintenance bills in Great
Britain's home navy yards were only
100000
In the New Orleans navy yard in
one recent year they paid out $7S,247
for maintenance, and the shops put
through a product worth $1,046.
A recent commandant at one OF the
big yards found that one Of the prin-
cipal jobs was to sign routine papers.
The heads Of departments could not
settle detail matters by the quick
method of talking face to face or over
the telephone, as would be done in
any private business. Under the rules
they had to write, and the command
ant had to sign personally 300 to 1000
routine letters daily.
| Inc prize paper by paymaster re-
Gently revealed that boat tillers, sim.
pie wooden sticks, average to cost 81
to SO in several yards. The writer
said that he could buy a pick handle
in store that with little whiting
would make two fine tillers, for 20
cents.
In one yard building occupied by
three different bureaus had three diff
ferent heating and lighting plants. In
another fine machine shop was oc.
cupied by but one man.
When will our people learn how
their daily cost Of living is enhanced
by allowing their public services to be
run by politicians instead of by bust,
ness men?

THE OIL ROAD.

The completion Of the oil road on
South Thirteenth street, for three and
a half miles out OF Norfolk, marks the
beginning of new epoch Of roadmak'
ing in northern Nebraska, and the Nor
folk Commercial club, which took the
contract to do the work for the county
has earned by its achievement last
ing place in north Nebraskas heart.
Good roads have come to be recog
nized as one Of the greatest needs OF
the country. The farmers are begin
ming to realize the money that good
roads will save them. Sooner or later
they will be built all over America
And it marks a community as pro
gressive, which gets into the front on
these enterprises and plays the role
of the pioneer.

BURR TAFT, BUILDER.

In connection with the oil road
which has just been constructed on
South Thirteenth street out of Nor.
folk, the people Of Norfolk feel in.
tensely grateful to County Commits
sioner Burr Taft, whose efforts made
this progressive enterprise possible
and who may we'll be termed the IA.
Their of oil roads in northern Nebraska.
But for Mr. Taft's untiring zeal Nor
folk would have no oil road today.
During his service on the board of
county commissioners, Burr Taft has
done so many things for Norfolk that
this city hardly knows where to begin
first in trying to express it's apprecia.
ton for his achievements in Norfolk's
behalf.
The successful conquest Of the wa
ter which formerly rushed down into
the west end Of the city from hills
northwest, and which for years caused
thousands of dollars of damage and
greatest discomfort to residents Of
that portion of the town, was due ex-
clusively to Burr Taft. The compile.
ton of a good road on South First
street was due in large measure to
Burr Taft. The building of substan.
tial bridge across the Northfork on
Norfolk avenue and now across that
river on North First street are the
work Of Burr Taft and now the pio.
neer oil road in this part Of Nebraska
has come as result of his enterprise.
1t is hard to estimate the good to a
community that can be done by man
| like that.

EUROPEAN TITLE TRAFF1C.

Representative 4. j. SABBATH Of Chi.
cago laid his hand on sore spot Tues.
day, when he offered in congress a
resolution inquring as to the purchase
of foreign titles by American women.
He also wants to know how much
American money in stocks and bonds
is in European Golfers, owing to the
high costs of such titles, and refers
also to the craze of the trust.made
rich who are suffering from chronic
titleitis."
Mr.. SABBATH may be joking. Or If
serious, he will be everlastingly jol.
lied. The remedy for this real evil is
not to be found in acts Of congress,
which would tend merely to make the
said titles more attractive still, as be-
ing forbidden fruit.
Meanwhile, all Europe, from Liver.
pool to Naples, is dotted with former
ly ruined castles that are now re.
gilded with American money. But
what does European society really
think of the newcomers?
The Contemporary heView indicates
the point of view by remarking: "Who
would ever hear of the Americans in
Europe except for their great wealth?
And in the society which they have
attained, where do they represent any
moral or political force?
The bargain counters of European
nobility are loaded up with dissolute
and impoverished noblemen, usually
ostracized by their own class, whose
families are only too tickled to sell
them for American coupons.
The process impoverishes our home
land both in money and personality.
1t can never be stopped by any legis.
| lation. OF course there are great
many international marriages that
are happy. But in the also frequent
| cases where title is squarely swap
ped for a fortune, the American girl
and her captalistic father ought to be
made to realize that they do not get a
bargain. They have bought and paid
for the article they wanted, but they
have not got the goods.
Why? No matter how attractive
the girl may be, as an American she
usually has rather picturesque indi-
viduality. This shocks the social red
tape and conventionality Of Europe
She is pronounced queer, erratic. She
remains on the fringes Of their So
ciety. She thought she bought floor
ticket admitting her to all the mazes
of the titled dance, but she merely
has a general admission to the gal
lery, emitting her to stand up at the
rear and look over the heads of the
natives.

THE NEW OCEAN MONSTERS.

Gov. Robinson of Arkansas has
found out for himself how insignificant
governors may be when they really
try hard. He attempted to veto the
resolution passed by the legislature of
that state ratifying the proposed in.
come tax amendment. After the veto
he took up the constitution OF the
United States and discovered that it
provides that congress may propose
amendments" which shall be valid
when ratified by the legislatures OF
three-fourths of the different states
1t doesn't say word about governors.
Like the boy who was kicked by the
mule, the governor Of Arkansas will
never look quite as handsome but he'll
know whole lot more.
