MARKET REPORT.
weekly Market letter From Our
Correspondent at Kansas
City.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 20.
There is a sentiment in the feed
ing sections that fat cattle are going
to sell higher between now and next
May, and buyers paid a little higher
prices for feeding steers last week
than they have been doing previous
ly this winter. Desirable feeders sold
freely the last half of last week at
$3.50 to S6.25. Stock cattle also
moved with less reluctance than
formerly, and shipments to the coun-
try for the week were greater than
during the corresponding week a
year ago, in spite of smaller total
receipts of cattle during the week.
1t was the first week this year to
show an increase in cattle to the
country over corresponding period
last January. Feeding bulls sold at
$500 to S475, and stock steers at
$500 to $3.50. Cattle receipts in
January have been enlarged by the
hurry of feeders to market their cat
tie, and some dealers believe Febru-
airy will show more decided de-
crease from year ago than has
January Fed cattle so far this sea-
son have made money for feeders,
but killers are clamoring for lower
prices, claiming they cannot sell the
meat at the prices they have had to
pay during January. The run here
today is 1900 cattle, fed stuff
steady to 10 lower, stockers and
feeders steady to strong. Top ma
tive steers here today brought $40,
fair to good steers $500 to 1926,
Oil Mill steers from Oklahoma $685.
to $50, bulls $3.50 to $500, veal
valves up to $3.50, native cows $500
to 1925.

PROMISES TO PEOPLE KEPT.

Wilson as Governor a Fair Sample Of
What He Will Do as Pres ident.
BY JUDGE THOMAS n. OWEN,
Muskoaee, Okla.

Muskosee, Okla.
The Democratic state platform in the
New Jersey campaign Of 1910 promised
five particular reforms. each of them
radical and each Of them apparently
academic. They were: A new election
law 10 take the control Of nomina-
lions out Of the hands Of the bosses:
an employers liability law. just to
both employer and employee; a cor
rurt practices act. to stop the wrong
full or excessive use " money In cleo
lions; Il public utilities commission.
with actual and not merely theoretical
power. and law regulating the cold
storage Of food. These five things
were promised In the Democratic plat
form
New Jersey had been a machine
ruled state for years. and nobody took
platform promises seriously. Nobody
expected them to be redeemed. a no.
litical party platform was like street
car Notwithstanding to get In on.
What They Said Would Happen.
When the election was over New
Jersey found that it had Democratic
governor, a senate Republican by l"
to . and a lower house Democratic by
| ~ to ia OF course the Republicans.
| controlling the senate. could block any
| legislation they desired. They deter.
mined ut once to stop all the bills Of
the governors program, and. what Is
more. the Old time Democratic ma.
chine leaders decided not to let the
bills pass the lower house. That was
the situation when the legislature met
in January
When 1t adjourned In April every
one Of the five promises made In the
Democratic platform were laws on the
statute books Of New Jersey. and
along with them were several other
new reform laws.

for governor may spend $500 under
this law and no more. Candidates fol
congress may spend $1,000. candidates
for county offices 500. and so on dowr
the list. The law goes further and
prohibits intimidation = It prohibits
printing political sentiments on pay
envelopes; It prohibits the posting OF
political handbills In factories and nj
other means that employers may take
to influence their employees in poll

A public utilities commission was
created with complete power to regu
