Earnings Explained.

po%rations.
Earnings Explained.
The enormou earnings of the
Steel corporation are due not to a
degree Of indignation Of efficiency
not possessed by its competitors, but
to the ownership of ore reserves out
of all proportion to its output or
requirements and to the control and
operation Of common carriers. di-
visions of rates, and the liberal al
lowances obtained from other con
Germs through inequitable and inor-
dinate terminal allowances. The
business of production and trans
%portation should be absolutely sepa-
rate and distinct, and no industrial
concern should be permitted to own
operate an interstate carrier.
Compulsory Prosecutions.
"The attorney general of the Uni
ted States and his subordinates
should not be permitted to exercise
an absolute discretion as to the in
stitution or proceedings under the
act Of July Il, 1890, known as the
antitrust act, or other
acts prohibiting combinations in re-
of trade. The parties injur-
affected by such a combina-
should have access to the
courts and the benefit of adequate
and sufficient remedies for wrongs
inflicted by such combinations"
Legislation Proposed.
The legislation recommended by
the majority of the committee con-
of three bills. One of them,
known as the Brandeis
bill is designed to give an injured
party the right to institute suit to
proven the organization of a COM
bination in restraint of trade. This
bill also transfers the burden OF
proof to the defendant corporation
to show that it is a combina ion
reasonable restraint Of
The bill recommended by
the committee has long been before
congress, having been introduced by
Senator La Toilette and Represen-
tative Lenroot.
Qualifications Of Directors.
Another bill would provide that
mo person who is engaged as an in
dividual or as a member Of a part
" rship, or as a director or other Of
fcer, or an employe of the corpora
ton, in the business. in whole or in
part, of manufacturing or selling
railroad cars or locomotives or rail-
road rails or structural steel. or
mining and selling coal shall act as
a director or other officer or employe
OF any railrc 4 which conducts In
terstate commerce business
The third bill is intended to hit at
the system OF interlocking director
ates, and would separate industrial
from railroad business

Electric Iron Caused Fire.

According TO Fire Marshal Han
son the fire in the tailor shop on
Elizabeth street early yesterday
morning started from an electric iron
which had been left burning. The
iron had been placed on a wooden
table.
The loss to the tailor shop. which
was owned by Frank Dodson. Is not
known. but the stock of woolens on
hand was a complete loss. There
was no insurance.
The ceiling Of the barber shop.
next door to the tailor shop. was
damaged to a small extent. The
barber shop, owned by Laro A. An
drews. was damaged about $35 BY
smoke and water. Laro & Andrews
carried no insurance. The building
i owned BY Or. q. ID. Mahan OF Mar
shall, Texas. ~ was fully insured.
Mr.. Hanson estimated the damage
to the building at $50.
The prompt action OF the fire der
partment prevented the spread OF
the flames. During the time OF tho
fire the water pressure was very
good, and three men could hardly
control the nozzle OF the hose.
The stock of the Club saloon. just
south of the burned tailor shop. was
removed during the fire. No dam
age was sustained.

railroad and its patrons profit to the
maximum extent.
Our officers have injected into

the citizens as a representative of
the railroad in discussion of matters
pertaining to the mutual interest Of
the railroad and the community in
which he lives.

suits from this cooperation. We are
also working on broader lines
through our industrial department.
The department under the COM
pany's industrial commissioner is
particularly well equipped to reach
the public, as it has no favors to
ask of the people, but the organiza-
ton is solely for the purpose OF help

spective communities and placing
before them the actual facts in con-
nection with questions affecting
their mutual interests.
I'm other words, the industrial
department of the railroad is an i'm

gained for the express purpose Of
working with and helping he pub

the federal government, as recon-
mended by Mr.. Carnegie. Judge
Gary, and others, Is not approved.
Whatever may be the evil results Of
the elimination of competition from
the steels business. il does not jus
tify such a remedy and could not
be cured by it. Such control, semi
socialistic in its nature, is beyond
the power vested by the constitu-
ton in the federal congress.
The abuses mentioned in this re-
port can in a great measure be rem
edied by giving to the operation Of
the United States Steel corporation
and other like corporations the wild
est publicity, and by the strict en-
forcement of laws specifically in
hibiting the employment Of cunning
devices by which unfair advantage
over competitors is secured.
Bureau of Corporations.
The bureau of corporations pos
sesses the authority to thoroughly
investigate the internal affairs OF in
dustrial concerns doing an inter-
state business. Had the chacater Of
the Steel corporation and the nature
and extent of its operations been
known TO the people and to the pres
ident of the United States at the
time of the absorption of the Tonnes
see Coal and Iron company. it is
hardly probable that the chief exc
cutive would in 20 minutes have
given his consent to a merger
fraught with infinite injury to the
steel industry and to the public
alike.
THE commissioner OF corpora
tons should be required TO report
to congress as we'll as to the presi-
dent of the United States. at such
times and upon such conditions rs
it may prescribe. and the law Great
ing this bureau should be so amend
ed as to make such reports manda-
tory upon the commissioner of cor
D%OratiOns.

HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS
Professor imagined Appeal Was From
Fldo, and the Situation Became
Embarrassing.

A great lover of animals, Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit
tie plate.
The other evening he was at a din
ner party, and his partner was a very
great lady, who was proud of her
title.
But the professor paid absolutely
no attention to her. His mind had
switched off on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve of this,
and presently, to attract his attention,
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
blng half-picked chicken bone from
his plate, he thrust it under her
startled nose.
Don't bother Just now, Fido!" he
said CURLY. Here, take this and go
and eat it on the mat, like a good
doggie!"

PRACTICE OF "DRY FARMING"
Consists Of First Stirring Soil to Good
Depth, Then Packing and
Providing Mulch.

In answer to query as to the mean
ing of the term DRY Farming"
Hoard's Dairyman makes the follow
ing reply:
The term DRY Farming" applies to
a system first developed by H. w.
Campbell on the semi-arid soils OF
western Nebraska where the rainfall
was about fifteen inches per annum
and lightest in the late fall, winter and
spring. Briefly stated, it consists in
first stirring the soil to a good depth.
then packing the sub-surface soil with
a tool invented for that purpose, fol-
lowed by keeping the top soil loose to
check evaporation. The grain is sown
in drills twenty-six inches apart. A
surface agitator or cultivator follows
between the drills, stirring the surface
between the rows the same-as we do
with corn.
The following yields are reported in
the American Cyclopedia of Agricul-
ture page 400:
"In an experiment at Lisbon. North
Dakota, the yield of wheat by the in
tercultural method, from 20 pounds of
seed per acre was 271s bushels; from
one-half bushel of barley per acre
54A bushels; from three,fourths of a
bushel Of oats so bushels. These fields
were cultivated six or eight time, de-
pending on conditions. By the or
binary methods the same year IA
bushels of wheat seed is commonly
sown per acre yielded to bushels;
bushels of barley seed yielded to
is bushels and 2h bushels of oat seed
yielded to 20 bushels per acre"

The Earmer,s Search.

While blowing, a Crawford county
farmer near Helper had the misfor-
tune to lose a small part from his cul-
tivator in the plowed ground Soon
neighbor came by. Lost some
thing?" he asked. Soon another came
by and asked the same question. And
then another. Pretty soon a man he
didn't like anyhow approached. Lost
something?" he asked. The farmer
looked up in supreme disgust. "Oh,
no; Just digging worms for my pet
buzzard." he replied.-Kansas City

Steamboat Memories.

London Opinion, commenting on
the recent celebration of the centen-
airy of the steamboat, remarks that
1t is interesting to note that the Brit
ish admiralty of that period rejected
the invention with the declaration
that "a paddle wheel steamboat could
be of no use in navigation" and that
DR.. Lardner, a pundit of that day,
who proved that no steam vessel
could ever cross the Atlantic. lived
long enough to bolt to America in a
steamer along with another mans
wife!"
