Against Capitalization.
(Holstein.Friesian Register.


The Prairie Farmer of Chicago says that
western members of the Holstein-Frleslan
Association of America look with much
disfavor on the proposition of some east,
ern members to build permanent home
for the organization in an eastern city
1t declares that if the eastern men have
their way there will always be cause Tor
dissension in the association. incidentally
It allows (of course) that Chicago is the
only true central location for home. y
This is mild sample of what may be eX'
peeted in the way of protest, north, south,
east and west, if the attempt to centrallze
is persisted in. 1t seems unfortunate that
the subject of "home" was ever preached
since harmony of opinion concerning it is
not possible. The idea is, and always
must be, a creator of discord, in an or.
ganization that has so much important and
profitable work to do that it cannot af'
ford to indulge in domestic strife. There
is no possible real good to be derived from
a permanent home" for the association
that cannot be more easily and economical
" secured in rented quarters: and these
NAV also be shifted to meet the conven'
fence or necessity of the men who do the
work of the association. After all, to have
the right men for the work is mere import
ant than the ownership of the building
where the work is done. The range OF
official selection for these positions would
be extremely narrow if acceptance meant

the Boston 4 Maine system has failed
to build the proposed track on the New

opposite Brattleboro, by referring to the

Mass Republican: Those people who

holders will note the result which has

down to 1874 the past week, or within a
very few points of the panic price OF

With the idea of impressing upon its
employees the value of economy in small
things the management of the Pere Mar
uuette railroad has issued a pamphlet CIV
ing the cost in terms of mileage OF a num-
Der of common articles in use in railroad
operation. According to the booklet every
time postage stamp is wasted the loss
represents what it costs the company to
haul a certain class of freight three miles.
Other simple illustrations are: Lead pen
ell, two miles; lamp chimney, 10 IL miles;
broom, 80 miles; track shovel, 80 miles.
Although freight rates in the middle west
are extremely low it hardly seems as II
the railroads can be hauling any kind OF
freight at prices that would make these
comparisons fair, and yet no company
would dare to put them out unless they
were approximately accurate. In any case
the pamphlet illustrates the value OF econ
omy in small things.

The Central Vermont and Rutland
railroad companies seem unable to agree
on IA plan for a new union station IN the
city of Burlington, At hearing before
the public service commission Wednesday
engineers of the former road presented a
plan providing for elevated tracks in and
out of the proposed station, but this ar
rangement met with the immediate DIS
approval of the Rutland representatives
who favor entering the city at grade. Tins
situation is directly the reverse OF that
over which the Grand Trunk and New
Haven systems fought in the last legisla'
ture. At Brattleboro the latter company
favored elevated tracks with highway
underpass at Bridge street while the
Grand Trunk officials seoffed at the Wis
dom of such an arrangement.

The campaign in Canada over the reel
procity bill is causing much excitement
1t is singular thing that almost the sole
objection urged against reciprocity in Can
ada is the same as was put forward here,
that the agricultural interests will suffer
great damage 1t is hard to see how the
farmers on both sides of the line can be
harmed by the reciprocity bill. 1t seems
that Canada stands to gain more than we
by this bill because she buys far more OF
us than we do of her. Her imports during
the last fiscal year amounted to $685., 600
900, of which S242000,OoO came from the
