ECONOMY OF PRODUCTION.
Lawyer Brandeis' Views Upon the
 Question-How Trusts Operate.

By c. H. Tavenner, Special Corre-
 spondent of The Farmer.)
 Washington, Dec. 1s-Louis D. Bran6tes, the noted Boston lawyer, who appeared before the Senate com mittee on Interstate and Foreign Con- merce, which just now is Investigating g the trust problem, put some bad dents in the favorite arguments of those Re- publicans who contend that trusts are necessary to the industrial develop ment of this country.
 George w. Perkins, former partner of J. P. Morgan, among others of the trust magnates who appeared before the Stanley steel inves' fgating com mittee, had a great deal to say about the economy of production brought about by the trusts. This, Mr. Bran deis, in his statement to the Senate committee, declared to be false in theory, and of no value in its prac- ticable application.
 ''The economies of monopoly are superficial and elusive" MT. Brandeis said. ''The unit in business, under the competitive system, may be too small, as the trusts contend it is, but this unit may also be too large. The danger is greater of monopoly pro- than of competition producing too small a one."
 Mr. Brandeis also pointed out that monOpoies had a tendency to lower the quality of their products, and he cited the number of railroad accidents, due tn poor rails. to prove his point.

Came the Sunday Herald, yester- day, like knight of the grail, break ing a passionate lance on a new field of the cloth of gold, against all who would slander those holy maidens of politics, the Warner-Lavery-King saints, who are unselfshly working overtime to save the people of Bridge port from the burdens of public own ership.
 The Farmer realizes its imperfec- lions and admits that it can make no claim to admission to this worthy company. It does regret that it is made to play the part of the wicked dragon which the holy. band hath set out to destroy by arms and exor- cisns
 There is some principle that draws like things together. after the fash ion of the affinity of fire and oxygen 1t is not strange therefore that in a world of glacial wickedness and cold unappreciation so unique a company should meet to fight for righteous ness.

'In 1902 there were P derai,ments due to poor rails," he said. "In 1911, after decade of steel trust control, the number of derailments were 249 Railway experts have repeatedly com plained that they have been unable to get the trust to give them good rails. In this connection it will be remem- bered that the farmers of this coun- try are complaining today because of the poorer quality of fence wires they now get"
 MT. Brandeis cited steel price fn- creases of the last few years as show ' ing how trusts sent prices soaring year by year, whereas products not controlled by trust sell for less now than formerly. Tn less than ten years" he pointed out, "the steel trust made profit of $650, ,00O, 900 on watered stock, while prices to the consumer rose constantly. In book paper the average selling price declined from 7.08 cents in 1889 to 399 cents per pound in 1910

lDl7OR1o4L FACE OF HE EVENING FARMER
GREED, CORRUPTION, THE LOBBY AND MONOPOLY AS CAUSES OF REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALISM

in Bridgeport where was the specta- cle of a city bound to pay for it's own shame exhibited in elevated railroad tracks, where had occurred the mo- torious harber grab, where was made the twenty year water contract, where the forces of greed and monopoly had secured the breaking of sacred party pledges, the shame of Common Councils and the injury of the peo- pie.
 Here was a city so completely giv- en into the hands of public enemies represented by the lobby that it's wa ter, it's gas, and its trolley fares are higher than in neighboring smaller cities.
 Gas at 75 80 or 90 cents in cities not So large as Bridgeport and $1 here teaches a fruitful lesson.
 Golfers is right 'tThe best way to fight any harmful kind of socialism is to fight for more honesty in our laws and more justice in our treatment of our fellow men,"
 The city exists for the people and not to furnish revenues for the own CTS of private monopoly.
 Already >monopolistic greed has alienated from the progressive forces of the community almost a third of the vote. How long will it take sen sible men to learn the lesson thereby taught?

WOULD DEBATE POLL
 TAX WITH HOLCOMB.

Dec. 15. 1911. Editor of The Farmer:
 Sir-Reading Judge Holcomb's de- fense of the personal tax, defense is far fetched and no support at all.
 Who are the real tax payers of the country? On the surface it appears that the property owners are the tax payers. Let us see.
 Take any city in this broad coun- try of ours. AZ sure as there is an increase in the taxes the owners of property raise the price of rents. They will not in most cases foot the extra burden. Whom does it fall up- on, but upon the backs of those who can least bear 1t. N-
 I wonder does the average man know that taking the entire country every fiftieth person holds some political job or public position and they are all receiving a higher remuneration than the average wage worker, and all of these political servants and pubTc employees do not produce any wealth. They have to be paid out of the sur plus of the wealth produced by the productive workers.
 I do not wish it understood that all these employees of government are un- necessary. But very large number of them are not. But If we would and eliminate the unnecessary units as they do, so as to keep larger divi- dends for themselves, all government corporations would soon have a sur plus and be able to maintain them selves on far smaller tax levy than they do not.
 Hon. Judge Holcomb must believe in the old saying as quoted in the New Testament, 'to those that have shall be given, and to those that have not shall be taken away even that which they have,'' but that was writ ten away back in the dark ages of the past and will not do for the twen- tieth century. Mo- it is not as he says, that no good citizen Will refuse to bear their share of the support of the militia. The trouble is that it is overdone. The burden is too great on the workers without putting Ap such a steal on them as taking away the price of pair of shoes or clothes or very good portion of their already was not the samething or very near the same that was the cause of that Boston tea party, and if things go on the same much longer there will certainly be another party but Of different kind. The personal tax is an outrage and about all the laws that have been enacted in Hartford for the last two sessions have been enough to cause great howl from the common people.
 It is impossible for me to present all the flaws that could be picked in all that has been done by our very wise and brainy men we send to the capitol. I would be willing to meet Hon. Judge HOlcomb on any public platform and debate the question with him, having had large and wide field to get my education on these ques- tons.

What is the cause of the growth of revolutionary socialism In this coun- try? Golfers attempts an answer. as iollows:
 Hoxie, writing an admirable view Of the whole subject for the October aumber. of the .':.Journal of Political Hcononay," spoke-accurately when he said: '.It is the Otfses the Posts, the Parrys, the Van Cleaves and tFe Kir- bys who are most active In raising revolutionary socialists in this coun- try.
 / What has caused the enormous out cropping of socialism in Connecticut? The public service corporations, the lobby they hire and pay, the reaction lry legislators they ow91 and ,eontrol. They are the cause. Opposing all reasonable progress in government and laws these forces and these cor rupt and brutal men are steadily breeding into the minds of the people aistrust of established political or yanization. They are driving the people into other and strange organ nations. They are sowing the wind to reap the, whirlwind.'
