Anybody Proud of the Senator

1t may be wondered whether any
considerable element of the Republic
an party of the country feels any
sense OF pride or satisfaction in the
present course of the majority In the
national senate.
Here is 1.-The greatest deliberative
body in the world" fooling away its
time, obstructing legislation, defylng
the advice and wishes of the presl-
dent and doing nothing.
With promptitude and even enthusi.
asm, the house of representatives has
attended to the matters covered by
the presidents call for the extra SEES
sion. 1t has gone further, in Initial
ing and carrying TO completion the
consideration OF matters and meas
ures for the good of the country.
But that senate. controlled by mem
bers of the party which elected tho
president. persists in ignoring and
opposing the very matters for the con.
sideration OF which 1t was called to
meet
Is anybody in all this wide republic

STEEL TRUST PROFITS
BUSINESS BUILT UP BY UNFAIR
TAX ON CONSUMERS.
Congressional Committee Has Brought
Forth Facts That Should Cause
Voters to Do More Than
Little Thinking.

The congressional committee that
started an investigation OF the United
States Steel corporation uncovered
sensations" which have been matters
or public knowledge for ten years.
The fact that Carnegie received for
his Pittsburg plants 100000. 900 more
than he was willing to take few
months before the trust was organized
received widespread publication at
the time
AS the investigation proceeds the
committee doubtless will discover
also that other properties were turned
into the trust for millions upon mil
lions more than they were worth. Ref
erence to the plan of the organization
OF the United States Steel corpora
ton will show that about $3.50, 900, 900
in United States Steel stock was Civ
en- in exchange for about $500, 000.0 900
OF capital OF six large corporations
which had been organized few years
previously, every one Of which had
been created with capitalization very
much in excess of the actual value OF
its properties.
IL was well known then that the
500 millions of United States Steel
corporation common stock and con-
siderable portion OF the 500 millions of
preferred stock represented no tan
gible value in property.
With these facts well known, the
freedom OF the United States Steel
corporation from congressional inves-
tigation and legal prosecution during
the past ten years Is a mystery. An
explanation for IL is the policy OF can
dor and publicity adopted by l.. II.
Gary, the chairman of the executive
committee OF the concern, early in its
career, and the efforts that have been
made to build up the properties of the
corporation so that they would more
nearly approximate the capitalization.
Several hundred millions OF earnings
have been put into the new properties
and an enormous Increase in the value
OF the corporations coal lands and
iron mines has occurred, so that the
actual value of the corporations prop
critics is much closer to its capitalize
ton today than ten years ago.
But the fact cannot be overlooked
that this result has been possible only
because the steel business has yield
ed excessive profits. The material
capitalization OF the trust has necessi-
tated an unfair tax on consumers OF
iron and steel, to pay dividends and
interest and to build up the value Of
the properties.

Culture of Currants.

For varieties the President Wilder
is probably the best liked as it clings
to the bushes the longest. The Cher
ry. Fay's Prolific and Perfection are
also very good varieties. The soil for
currants should be very well prepared
and enriched. Practice deep blowing
before planting the currants and then
put them 6x4 feet. Practice shallow
cultivation and mulch If need be. Put
in cover crop the first OF July such
as buckwheat. This can be cultivated
into the soil in the spring. thus keep
ing up the amount OF humus in the
soil. AS one and two year old wood
produces the best crops. care should
be taken to see that no wood is over
two years old. Prune out old wood as
soon as berries are picked out.
