House its Own Master

The fact that majority of the
members stand for the passage of
the reciprocity measure and the
farmers free list bill is the best
evidence that the house is no long
or controlled by the tariff trusts,
Lumber, for instance, would
not go on the free list if Big Bus
mess was still in control. Hereto
fore the lumber interests-the
same interests and individuals that
are alleged to have elected and re-
tanned Lorimer in the senate
have been able to prevent lumber
from going on the free list.
The fact that wire fencing and
other steel manufactures are placed
upon the freelist, and that a sweep
ing investigation will soon be un-
der the Stanley resolution, is pos
tive assurance that the steel
barons are no longer able to die
tate the kind of legislation that
the house shall or shall not enact.

combine has lost its grip on the
house, because agricultural imple-
ments, including plows, harrows,

pear on the farmers free list.
Nor is the beef trust still in
command. II it was, dressed
meats would continue to be taxed,

They are Looking to the
Southwest

Up in Illinois, the big broom
corn center of the world, they are
figuring that the broom corn must
come from down in here if it
comes at all in the years ahead.
Local brokers in NATION, Illinois,
declare the era of Illinois broom
corn sorn supremacy is at an end
and the palm for production of
brush must hereafter go to Kan
sss, Oklahoma and the great south
west. For twenty years Nation,
Illinois, has been the broom corn
center of the country, for Coles
county has raised a greater a.
mount of the valuable product
than any similar sized area in the
world. The excessive cost of pro-
ductlon of broom corn in Illinois
as compared to the new field is
given as the reason for the change.
Farmers living in Cumberland
County banded together and a.
greed not to raise broom corn for
FIVE years unless dealers would
guarantee a price of not less than
$500 per ton in advance of plant
ing. To this declaration w. M.
Checkley OF NATION, Illinois, a
prominent broker, replied; III
you cannot raise broom corn for
less than $3.50 per ton, you had
better quit because the farmers of
Kansas and Oklahoma can raise it
