PLANTATION LABOR
GETS MORE PAY

/ e. FaXon Bishop, chairman of the
labor committee of the Hawaiian Su-
gar Planters Association, has issued
! the following statement to the press:
! 1T has been decided by the Hawai-
ian Sugar Planters Association to in
crease the pay of all ordinary day la
borers on an $1S per month basis to
$40 per month, to go into effect the
first of January, 1912. This will take
the place of the bonus system of last
year.
1t has also been decided to put into
effect sliding scale bonus system,
which is to be based on the average
price of duty paid raw sugar in New
York for the year.
The purpose of the system is to
give the day laborers additional COM
pensation during years when high
prices of sugar prevail and is arrang-
ed on sliding scale beginning with
an average price of 355 cents per
pound-$71 per TOMAS follows
IF the market price of raw sugar
in New York for the year averages
$50 cents per pound-$71 per ton
laborers will receive a bonus of l per
cent of their years earnings, and for
every additional dollar per ton in
crease in the price of sugar, one per
cent will be added to the bonus, so
that if sugar should average four cents
for the year, laborers will receive 10
per cent of their yearly earnings, and
so on up to 500 per ton, when the
bonus will be 20 per cent.
This sliding scale bonus will apply
only to laborers receiving $24 per
month and under, and they must work
an average of 20 days per month for
~ months in order to be entitled
thereto"

COMMERCIAL AoR1crJLruRE.

A unique form of financial assist
ance in agricultural promotion are
the industrial research fellowships at
the College of Agriculture at Cornell
University. Several of these have
been offered for short periods 10y
firms of manufacturers of agricul-
tural implements and supplies. Since
1906 $4,000 per annum has been dis
tributed among the state agricultural
colleges in twenty scholarships,
which are competed for at the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition in ac-
cordance with an offer of ]. Ogden
Armour.
No comprehensive review of agri-
cultural endowment in foreign coun-
tries is attempted, but by way of illus
tration reference may be made to the
princely gifts of Sir William Macdon-
aid in Canada, including Macdonald
College, and to the wellknown in
stances of the Lawes Agricultural
Trust and what it has accomplished
at Rothamsted, the liberal aid to ag-
ricultural work at Cambridge Univer-
sity by the Diapers Company of Lon
don, and the bequest of the late Mr..
John Innes, whereby $4,000 a year
is available for the promotion of hor-
ticultural instruction, experiments,
and research at the John Innes Horti-
cultural Institution. A sum of nearly
100000 was recently bequeathed by
the late S. B. Thomas for the estab-
lishment of an agricultural college in
Sierra Leone, Africa. The establish
ment of the Imperial Agricultural
College of India, at Pusa, is attributed
to its initial endowment of S150,000
by an American, Henry Phipps, of
Pittsburg What is probably the larg-
est bequest to agriculture yet record
ed was recently announced at the
death of DR.. S. N. Kolaceoskij, who
left property valued at over $20,O)O,-
900 for establishing an agricultural
academy in southern Russia.

EDISON FOR ROOSEVELT.

Orange, N. j., Sept. 10. Thomas A.
Edison is for Theodore Roosevelt and
the Progressive party, first, last and all
the time. In an interview today he not
only declared that he was going to vote
the Progressive ticket, but said he
didn't see how thinking people of the
country could do anything else.
Eyes, I'm for Roosevelt" said the
inventor, land he's going to win. 1"
Reasons? Why, because he's the man
for the job. He's real, he's alive and
he's needed at the present time. He
has brains, he has ideas, he has courage
and he has understanding of conditions.

politicians and they are ak. afraid of

THE TIDES OF IMMIGRATION.

AS the latest census bureau bulletin
shows New England has just about
been holding its own as regards immi-
grafton. The census returns of 1901
showed 1,l29, 9l3 foreign-born whites
in the New England States, or 10. per
cent. on the total number registered by
the census takers throughout the coun-
try, while the returns compiled last
year show 6S4 ,473, or 1877 per cent. OF
the foreign-born whites who settled
down in this part of the country during
the decade then completed. But the
comparison holds true as we'll of the
entire region north of the Ohio and east
of the Mississippi, which took in 70.l
per cent. of the earlier immigrants and
I'll per cent. of the newcomers. A
larger number of the more recent ar.
rivals took up residence in Massachu-
sets than in any other State, with the
exception of New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois. In fact, the Bay State
has the task of assimilating more for.
eigners than several grand divisions,
including the whole section of the coun-
try lying West of the Rockies.
But it must be admitted that the task
of assimilation is growing more diff
cult every year. The newer Corners fiji

LETTER FROM H. r. NOBLE.
To the Editor of Middlebury Register;

To the Editor of Middlebury Register
Dear Sir Many of the old guard are
saying, eff it hadn' been for Roosevelt
there wouldn't have been any third
party" and that che wants more
notoriety," etc., etc. Why not speak
the honest truth and say that the Pro-
gressive movement began with the So
called "Insurgants" during Taft's adj
ministration.
The better element of the Republican
party have had longing to break away
from the bosses and have the common
people have just little to say about
government and that is why such a
majority of them desired Roosevelt as
their candidate for President in prefer
ence to Taft.
1t may be true that Theodore Roose-
welt more than any other man has beer
the power that has crystalized the
Progressive sentiment in the Republic
can party and made it possible to or
ganize new party around whose stand
ard honest men could gather with the
hope of square deal, but let no one fol
moment believe that Roosevelt, aftel
all of his great achievements, woulc
stoop to such a thing as looking fol
cheap notoriety, or hunting "Gover
ment job" The Republican conven
ton at Chicago last June kicked thu
infant Progressive party out upon thu
street and the common people are Civ
ing it laid and comfort" in a wonder
full way, regardless of the raging of tn
helpless bosses and wire pullers of tn
old party.

COAL FREIGHTS EXCESSIVE,
Moveme emit in Philadelphia to
Force Railroads to Reduce
Rates,

Philadelphia Sept. 20. Mayor Blan-
kenburg and director Cooke have re-
ceived from the experts on the anth-
racite coal freight rate case the pre-
liminary plan which they will use in
the case against coal-carrying roads,
to reduce the present rates and so
smeliorate the high cost of living by
an attempt to bring this necessity
down to the price at which it is de.
clared it should be sold. These papers
show that coal which now sells for 81 a
ton should not retail at more than So. %
ton and the smaller sized coal at $3.05
ton.
The plan was prepared by Professor
w. Ward Pierson, of the University
of Pennsylvania, who as counsel in
this case has the Endorsement of Harry
E. Bells, the we'll known freight rate
expert and it shows that the con-
stitution of the State contains a pro-
vision which is most rigid in stipula
ting against any form of preference or
discrimination by the railroads and
against the charge of a greater rate
direct and unequivocal and is further
strengthened by the acts of 1888 and
1907, which give effect to the long and
short haul provisions of the constitution
which We're placed on the statute books
to regulate freight rates in this State.
The plan submitted by the mayors
experts shows that the published tar
ifs of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company on prepared sizes
of anthracite coal from the Schuylkill
district to Philadelphia when con-
! signed to points outside the capes is
/ Sl.30 a ton. The carriers charge II
cents ton for handling this coal over
the piers, so that practically they
charge Sl.lS ton on this coal, whereas
coal shipped to Philadelphia for con-
sumption in this city is charged for at
the rate of 81. 20 ton.
The brief which Professor Pierson
has prepared in the action of the city
against the anthracite roads further
shows that if Philadelphia were allowed
by the carrier the advantages it natur-
ally enjoys with respect to coal freight
rates the rates on coal shipped to this
city, based on the cost of coal shipped
to other cities, would not be 81. 70 ton,
but, on furnace coal, Sl.0l; on egg coal,
81; on stove and nut coal, 81 cents, and
on pea coal, "a cents.
The city in its claim for redress is
asked to make this plea:
That if the present traffic is profit
able, then the rate of $l.70 ton on
prepared sizes of coal is excessive and
exorbitant because the character of the
service rendered in both instances by
the carrier for the long and short haul
is identical.
