THE SQUARE DEAL.

Disregarding what irresponsible
rich or irresponsible poor, i%rresponsi-
BILE capitalist, or irresponsible work.
ingman, may hold upon the matter, the
courts of the country constitute the
bulwark upon which the stability of
our institutions and our rights rests.
And at the last the supreme court of
the United States stands as all OF
that, and the personiication OF the
square deal to every man beneath the
shadow of the flag. This regardless
of what blatherskites of any condition
may shout--and it Is a cheerful fact.
Which is called to mind practically
by two decisions rendered this week
by the supreme court, the one declar.
ing Gompers and other labor leaders
not guilty OF contempt in the Buck
range case, and the other declaring the
Standard Oil company an unlawful
merger in restraint of competitive
trade under the Sherman act, and Civ.
ing that company six months to be-.
come dissolved.
The one case was that of the great.
est labor union combination in the
United States, and was decided in
favor Of the union; the other was tn at
of the greatest trust in the United
States, and was decided against the
trust. Both cases were decided upon
their merits before the law, and will
be accepted as the last word.
Had the merits been different, and
the cases decided exactly opposite,
what q howl would have gone up from
those who love to see the worst In ev.
cry institution of the country they dis.
grace. Yet the court would have stood
the same; above need for trucking,
the highest responsible tribuua al in the
United States-in the entire world
the supreme court looks out upon the
country with an eye single to justice,
and justice without regard to anything
but justice.
Listening to the irresponsible shout
Ing OF the street corner demagogue,
1t 10 relief to turn to the supreme court
for confirmation Of the fact tina,
shouting is not before the law, and the
law as Interpreted by that court
stands for every man in the land, and
every combination of men, exactly
alike.
Also while upon the subject it nigh,
be we'll to call attention to the fac,
that the Sherman antitrust act has
been on the statute books something
like halt q century and it remained
for a republican administr alton to use
1t for the purpose ~intended-a demo,
cratic administra alton having declared
it useless, and that other law must be
made before the trusts might be curb.

Decision In Standard Oil Case Sue-
gests Legislation.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The gov.
ernment's policy in dealing with trusts
and combinations of capital, a. it
must be shaped in the light of the ST.
preme courts decision in the Stand ard
Oil case, was discussed by the presi.
dent and his cabinet today. There
was q great rush at the clerks Office
Of the supreme court today for copies
OF the opinion.
The court, In declaring that the
Standard OIL company OF New Jersey
and its 10 subsid aries were q cor.
spiracy In unreasonable restraint of
trade. did not condemn ell great inter.
state corpora atoms and did not hold
that "every" restraint of trade was q
violation OF the law. In other words,
the court seems to have upheld the
doctrine that there are ''good' and
''bad" trusts, and that the Stand ard
Oil vas a bad trust.
Attorney General Wickersham may
consider criminal prosecutions of the
officials of the Standard oil company.
1t is said that in the event the oil trust
officials should plead immunity under
the statute of limitations. the govern
ment could take the position that the
combine in restraint of trade was q
continuing conspiracy, and the court
ordered it dissolved.

tiuuous cropping, rates and dates OF
seeding, fall as compared with spring
blowing, crop rotation in comparison
with growing the same crop year after
year, variety tests, care of the ground
when cropped and fallowed and sew.
eral other branches of the subject are
all thoroughly treated In this edition.
The plan Of the work lie outlined and
the data concerning winds, precipita-
ton and other climatic conditions are
taken into consider alton.
In the variety tests the Turkey red
wheat gave the most satisfactory
yields, as did the Canadian white and
sixty.day oats, while it was also found
that white hulless barley was the earl.
lest maturing Of the grain crops.
Concerning the question of continuous
cropping it was found that the yields
were about 10 per cent. greater when
the fallow system was installed. 1t
was commonly noticed that q much
better crop of grain is raised when
breaking is done and summer tillage
given the year previous to the crop
ping than when the land Is broken
and seeded Immediately. Concerning
spring and fall blowing, it vas found
that, as far yield was concerned,
there was but little difference. Rates
of seeding are in favor OF the small
than of the heavy planting.
Five pecks to the acre are found to be
the most satisfactory for grain, al.
though in some of the experiments
plats seeded with the rate of two pecks
per acre gave the highest Yields.
1t is found that the following net
profit per acre could be obtained:
Wheat, els; oats, IS; barley 50; fall
rye. $3.50; fax, 1927; corn, sl4 So;
potatoes, al. 80. Alfalfa gave a re.
turn of about S12 per acre, while sugar
beets ara Improbable at 81. 25.
In q general way the bulletin can
be summarized as follows: 1t 10 de.

The appeal of the so-caed Spokane Mining Mems club te
recommending reduction in the tariff lead ane

They inform us that the cost of production in Canada is
greater than the United States and that the present tariff
lead and zinc imported from Canada of advantage

existing conditions knows is without foundation From al
indications this great Of Spokane intellect does not take

promote the interests of few living in Spokane who in
terested in hole in the ground in Canada.
1t may appear from the statistics compiled by the Min
