 As soon as the people see that the system of competition is dead, ard come to understand that cooperation, as eXem plitied by the trusts, is an en- tire success, then it will not be long until great majority of them will consent to make a change, and no .:er- manent relief can come until they do consent.

Some of our Democratic friends are Soing to pull down the tariff walls and kill the trusts as dead as door nail, and probably all the rest of us along with it.

and the working man. Even the old | party politician knows and admits that when he tells you that he is go ! ing to bust the trusts and go back tC competition. \ Now, it is admitted that the trust is a success, especially by the fellow on the inside. We are not annoyed with the complaints of any one who is drawing a liberal dividend from trust stocks or bonds. It is on ly some eighty odd million of us little fellows on the outside that are con- ducting the big howl. We'll, now, what is the trouble There is surely something the matter, because the trusts, with their up-to-date machin- cry, their economical, specialized and methodical system of producing the necessaries of life today, are cheaper than at any time in history, and yet the cost of living is higher than at any other period. Yes, there must be something. wrong. The Socialists say the trouble is that these trusts are conducted by rriva'e iuIiv1:Lals for the sole purpose of private profit and in order for the few owners of the trusts to pile up their enormous pro- fits they must oppress the many. We Socialists claim, of all the political par ties today, to have the only clear-cut,
 
 for the solution of the knotty indus trial problems which confront us. The old parties have come before the peo- pie for the past thirty years with var ing and ever changing remedies. One campaign it has been free trade or high tariff; another time sound mon ey or free silver; and now their lat est fad is bust the trusts, or regu- late, or control, or put them in jail.
 Now, they are not going to bust the trusts; Roosevelt did that and preSSive than ever. In fact it is alto gether likely that the trusts will bust the people-and then the people will wake up and do something. Neither are they likely to regulate. or control them: we have been doing that with the Sherman antitrust act for the past twenty years; and about the only one we have regulated is the working mans labor trust when he came into too active opposition with the other fellows trust. Some of these people are going to remedy the present state of affairs by placing criminal trust managers in stripes; that looks pretty good until you look it over carefully. According to our present laws there are very few criminal trusts or trust managers. We Socialists are not Op- posed to placing a man in jail if he needs it but we do say remove the cause which made him a criminal, or there will spring up another in his place What prudent bank president would go home at night and leave his vaults wide open, feeling secure in the thought that the law would catch the thief who stole his money and put him in stripes We do not happen to know any who entertain such ideas. If every trust were to be brought strictly under the law it would make little difference, because this great industrial machine can out-produce and under-produce the little individual acting alone, and at the present rate of gain by the legitimate trusts alone it will take no great length of time un- til they control the Nations entire wealth.

DRY FARMING NOTES

Colorado Springs, Colo-'1ts the difference of opinion that makes horse races" says old David Harum. By the same token, things are always made interesting when a few dry farmers get together for a compari- son of systems. At the recent In ternational Dry-Farming Congress here half the discussions concerned the relative merits of various varieties Prof. E. H. Webster, dean of the Kan sas Agricultural College, and amour ces himself as feminist" them all.
 The wheat farm has no place in the developm ent of the dry-framing ar"1. he says, The general failure to recognize this fact has caused un- told suffering and loss to settlers who were enticed by misleading state ments to occupy this country with the hope of growing wheat for profit. Wheat farming has certain require ments of moisture and temperature which are imperative, or the crops fail. The region between the tooth meridian and the Rocky Mountains has proved it's entire unreliability in this respect. It is destined, however to become one of the greatest produc ing centers for live stock in Ameri- ca.
 The transition from the open range to the abandoned wheat farm has taught that forage crops are, to workable degree, sure; that kaffir, mi To and sorghum will produce suffi- cient grain for the needs of the stock farmer; that the capacity of this re- zion to carry live stock can be great ly increased over that of the range days by raising forage and by win ter feeding, and that the climate is ad- mirably adapted to the live stock in- industry
 To insure success even under these however, Prof. Webster advised the farmers at Congress to produce feeders rather than finished stock, to raise forage crops for win | ter feeding, to care for those crops | by siloing, to practice approved dry 1 farming methods. and to keeI ing a l better grade of stock than now.

THE SOCIALISTS AND THE TRUST

WHAT IS A TRUST? It is known in law as an artificial person, an in dividual, or an association of individ- uals collected together for the par pose of doing business. To the econ omiSt it is known as organized CO., operative effort in any line of human endeavor, and it is chiefly applied in the production and distribution Of the necessaries of life. It may be of any magnitude from the size of the Stan
 dard Oil and U. s. Steel, whose sphere of influence extends over the entire globe, down to a group of Chinese truck gardners on the outskirts of a town, who band themselves together and by mutual agreement sell their produce at a certain price. The Con greSsional investigations of the vari- ious trusts in recent years shed con siderable light on the situation; the sum total of the testimony of the dif- ferent magnates shows the trust to be the legitimate child of competition. They tell us, from Gary, the head of the Steel Corporation, all down the line that competition was wasteful, ruinous war. In the early eighties this competitive war arrived at a critical stage. There are those living now who can remember the time, during f-7i~0ad rate wars, when a ticket co ''r -2urchased from the west coast t. Missouri River points for one dollar. The conditions in the manufa curing industry are almost as bad as transportation It was this condition of affairs that. led the fin ancial and organizing heads of Amer ican industry to put their wits togeth- CT to devise ways and means to stop this waSteful, ruinous competition. At this stage the American railroads were at their lowest ebb. Their roll ing stock, maintenance of way and equipment generally was in worse shape than at any other time in their history. Out of this unpleasant state of affairs evolved the trust simply a board of trustees to take over and hold in trust, and control the major ity of stock in the various, then ex- isting, corporations, for the sole pur pose of working together in harmony, and for their mutual interests. By following along this line of policy our managers of industry have built up the greatest machine of production and distribution known to any age of the human race. By the concentra- tion of large amounts of capital in any industry they are able to employ the most powerful and -up-to-date- ma chinery; by their division and special izing of labor and management they have reduced the cost of production many fold. This trust system of the United States comprises S,664 corpor- ations, and companies engaged in ev- cry line of production and distribu- tion, with total capitalization of twen- ty billion, three hundred and sixty nine million dollars-from Steel and oil, and railroads down to peanuts and popcorn.
 Everyone knows that almost every article we use in daily life (except some few homegrown products) is either made or handled by some form of this trust. Competition is dead; entirely dead except among the Tit tie feilows''-the small business man

Mike Rice. the Poet Larriet" of Ari-. zona has his irrisibilities aroused by the claims of the republican candi- dates, in their canvass for votes in the present campaign. It is evident from the following squib, that their progressiveness is far fetched and in sincere.
 I've met the cheerful liar,
 Of the far-famed "Sazarac," And heard the wondrous Prowess
 Of the pioneers of Tubac; I've met the Ananias
 Of the famous "Hassayamp" And marvelled at the mouthing
 Of the Weary Willy tramp; \ eHard the progressive virtues
 Of Wells and Pitcher Doan: The reduction of the taxes

Rediscovery of Lost Mines

In addition to discussing deposits of precious stones in the United States MT. Sterrett also describes foreign mines and their output. An account is given of the rediscovery of certain lost emerald mines in Colombia When the Spanish took possession of that country in the sixteenth century the emerald mines of the Indians were seized by them. Excessive cruelties were practiced by the Spanish mine workers on the Indians employed in the mines. In the war of indepen- dence of 1916, the country was so de- Solated that the mines of COSquez and Somondoco were entirely lost. A Co lombian named Francisco Restrep, guided by a few hints given in an cient Spanish parchment maps, and with little or no knowledge of geo. logy or emeralds, undertok the search for the lost emerald mines. In 1896 he found traces of ancient workings and later the large workings of the lost mines. These mines are situated on ridge of the great eastern range of the Andes, at an elevation of about 5000 feet above the sea level The great open cuts and tunnels were scat tered over an area of miles long and 3 miles wide
 It is worthy of note that no partfcu- lar section of the United States has monopoly of precious stone depos- it's; for instance, turquoise have been found both in Virginia and Nevada, sapphires in Indiana and Montana, and topaz in Texas, Colorado, and California.

Hotel There to Cost
$4,000.

If the plans of Il. II. Lewis, as pre-
scented to the Promotion Committee,
mature, there will be an observatory
and rest -house up at the Pail that in
time will become as famous as the
Cliff House in San Francisco or any
of the Switzerland cliff -perched hos
terics Mr. Lewis asks the endorse
ment' of the committee for his plan to
build rest house on the Pail, and
declares he will put $4,000 into it,
TO guarantee the responsibility of
the place, Mr.. Lewis says it will be
run by his own family and that it will
be a desirable addition to IIonoIulu's
obstetrics in every way. Without Civ
ing final endorsement to the plan, the
committee is inclined to favor it, for
the hotel is to be placed where it will
not mar the beauty of the site and
will help attract tourists.

COMMISSION
Plan LAUDED
Deputy Attorney General Talks
On Municipal Govern
.ment Form. ..,.


Government by commission was as
serted neyef~to have been an abso-
lutte failure where tried and to have
bettered conditions genera ly. by Ar
thur G. Smith, deputy, auorneS-gen-
eral, in paper read last night sbe-
fore the civic section of the mems
league. Mr.. Smiths paper as dis
cussion not only of the technicalities
of the commission plan, but also OF
its actual effects where tried and of
the objections found to it,
He said in part:
The citizens are put in charge of
the city government The theory OF
government by commission has been
long time developing, for the rea-
son that the theory upon which our
city governments were founded has
been so essentially different AS NUM-
cipal conditions in this country were
more thoroughly inyes tigated, and
the evils of which we complained trac-
ed to their source, it was shown that
practically everything bad in our city
politics was the work of the few and
not of the many; that what we were
suffering from was not too much de-
mocracy, but too little. and that the
real remedy for our ills was not less
democracy, but more. The new plan
prescribed a form of organization so
plain and simple that the five repre-
sentatives could not fail to carry out
the popular will without the imme
diate knowledge of every citizen. Not
only this. but by the initiative. refer
endum, protest and recall, it put de-
mocracy in as complete control of the
management Of the municipality as
human ingenuity could do providing
direct, simple, and easily operated in
strumentalties for compelling the
public representatives to respect the
wishes of the people both Affirmative
ly and negatively. or submit to the
penalty of involuntary retirement at
the behest of the people.
MT. Slnlln also asserted lldl ull-
der the commission plan card lines
are abolished, utmost publicity given
municipal affairs, and the political
machine" done away with. He urged
as objections that the commission
tends to paternalism in government
gives a chance for voting along race
lines, makes tenure of Office mcer-
tain and the officials therefore less
inclined to act independently. and al
low the danger of abusing the recall,
referendum and initiative.
However, he sums up his conclu-
sions somewhat as follows:
How has the plan worked" there
is vet, so far as | can find. an abso-
lutte failure TO be recorded in any
city which has adopted it, and there
is yet to be found municipality in
which conditions have not been bet
tered under the new plan. and over
200 cities now have it or are getting
ready to try it,"
