One is in Madison county which is
bearing its proportionate part of the
expense of the magnificent new High
School building which is nearing COM

Tobacco Crop Good

The Tobacco crop this year in Gar
rard county is extraordinarily good and
isn't it a shame that it will have to be
hauled away to be sold and part of the
money received for same spent in an
other town when Lancaster needs the
business so much and could afford such
a good market.

| The protected interets have not
only selected the articles to be taxed
but have fixed the rate. The bur-
| den falls upon the people of moder-
ate means while the rich ecape. Why
should the one not be required to
contribute out of his abundance as
well as the other out of his neces-
sity l? The favored class has accum-
ulated great fortunes at the expense
of the people. Why should this
wealth not bear it's just proportion
of public burdens? Those that re-
ceive the benefits of protection
should assume part of the burdens
of government.
These inequalities have affected
the social as we'll as the political and
econmical conditions Of the people.
The unemployed with it's attendant
hunger and many of the paupers or
the country can trace their cond1-
ton to these causes. There will be
day of retribution unless this grind
| ing process be discontinued The

stein of those who produced it.
These vast fortunes ought to have
been prevented and the wealth rep
resented by them distributed among
those to whom it rightfully belongs.
They should bear their fair share OF
the burdens of the expense of the
government. The graduated income
tax based upon the ability to pay and
protection received would give sta
bility to our revenue system. The
tariff could then be safely reduced

The Trust Question.
The republican party announces
itself as opposed to special privileges
boasts of it's enactment of the Sher-
man antitrust law and the Inter-
state Commerce law with it's amend
ments, and the faithful execution
of both.
If, as a matter of fact, the Sher-
man antitrust law has had any vir-
| tue to prevent combinations in re-
straint of trade or for the purpose of
monopoly or to dissolve those organ
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-08-01

lied in opposition to it, or to punish
it's violation, then it follows that
there has been no good faith effort
to enforce it. Trusts and combina-
tons in restraint of trade and for the
purpose of monopoly have grown,
multiplied and flourished in VIOLA
ton of the law without fear or him
drance. All efforts of prosecution
and to dissolve them have failed of
their purpose. These trusts and
monopolies have been largely respon-
sible for the unequal distribution Of
wealth and the republican party for
their operation. The law should
have been enforced and if not suftici-
ent to prevent and dissolve them,
then it ought to have been amended
so that it would be.
There is no way to justify the Or
ganization or conduct of such con-
Germs. They are criminal from the
beginning. They are nothing more
or less than conspiracies against
trade and the people and have no
legal right to exist. The law should
have been amended So that every one
or conducted in restraint of the trade
VI LUZ IuS Pun pooC VI 4AO4Opo1S
would be guilty of criminal conspir-
acy and punished as other criminals
committing like offenses.
The criminal part of this statute
has never been of any virtue for the
reason that it undertakes to punish
the institution instead of the indi-
vidual. Crime is personal. These
combinations with their millions ex-
torted from the people care nothing
for a fine. The civil part of the law
has been nullified and made ineffec-
tive by the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust
cases.
The republican party admits the
Individual is entitled to buy the nee
essaries of life in open market unin-
fluenced by the manipulations of
trusts and combinations and yet
they have been allowed to organize
and operate without effective inter-
/ ference. There is but one remedy
for trusts and monopolies and that
is to prohibit or prevent the organ
ization or operation Of every com
| bination either in restraint of trade
or for the purpose of monopoly The
Sherman antitrust law should be
re-enacted and its criminal and, civil
j provision made SO drastic that it

will be impossible for any such con-
Germs to exist.
These combinations not satisfied
with fair return on their actual in
vestments, have in their organlza-
ton added to their actual capital
by watering the stock and increasing
it to many times it real value. AS
for example in the case of the United
States Steel Combination which took
four hundred million dollars of &C
tual value according to it's own est1-
mate and added to it one thousand
million dollars Of watered stock,
thereby making capital OF fourteen
hundred millions Of dollars out OF
an actual value of four hundred mil
lions. This Is fair illustration OF
the manner in which these trusts
and combinations are organized. 1t
means that those who consume their
product must pay a price that will
yield dividends on the watered stock,
in this case 21a times as much as
the real capital. Inasmuch as the
United States Steel Corporation fur
nishes a large part and practically
controls the price of raw materials
used in the manufacture OF farm
machinery, agricultural implements
and tools in common use, it thus
charges price largely in excess of
that which should be, thereby extort-
ing from the consumer of these
necessities this tribute to pay divl-
dends on stock that never had any
existence in fact.
The watering of stock means to
undertake to make capital and get
dividends on something that does not
exist. Its prevention is, in the end,
beneficial to the stakeholder, the
public and the wage Garner. An in
dustry that is capitalized for it's &C
tual value can demand and receive
fair return on the investment, pay
its labor reasonable wage and sell
it's product for price sufficient to
cover both, and much lower than the
trust that is compelled to pay divi-
dends on capital that has no exist
ence in fact. 7aan
1t is estimated that there is prob
ably not less than thirty billions OF
dollars of watered stock outstand-
ing in the United States to-day Oh
which stock dividend of at least one
and one half billions of dollars are
being paid by the consumer each
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-08-01

year, amounting to about SIS a per-
son or nearly $100 to an average
family of the United States. The
over-capitulation of trusts and COM
binations by the issuing OF Watered
stock is one of the causes OF the in
creased cost of living. This ficti-
tious capitalization greatly increases
many of the common industrial lists
on the stock exchange or market. The
CORPORATION issuing them in turn con-
trolls the prices of their product in
Guiding many of the necessities OF
life.
Those in favor of limiting the cap
value are the real friends of all con-
cerned. 1t will prevent the neces-
sity of drastic measures of legisla-
, ton and encourage the investment
of honest capital. The prevention
of watering stock will render dis
tinct service to the cooperation, the
stakeholder, the employee and con-
sumer The concern that has no
watered stock can obtain capital at
fair rate of interest, the investor
will be assured of a safe and pro-
fitable return on his purchase, the
laborer of fair wage and the con-
sumer of reasonable price. .
The democratic party proposes to
fix by law the conditions on which
corporations shall be permitted to
engage in interstate trade, and pre-
vent holding companies from inter-
locking directorates, stock watering,
discrimination in prices and the con-
troll by any one corporation OF SO
large proportion of any industry as
to prevent the wrongs that have been
wrought and perpetrated by the
trusts and monopolies. .f. s7s:.tl
A trust or monopoly is only pos
sible when protected by law or nat
ural conditions from foreign and by
law or failure Of its enforcement
from domestic interference. The
only limit of their extortion IS thel1
greed, modified by the protection
furnished and the limit of the law. y.
These combinations sheltered by
the protective tariff, organized under
corporation laws Of the land, secure
and immune from prosecution and
dissolution under the antitrust law
by and through their manipulation
of watered stock, limiting production
determining the quality, fixing the Ia
Eprice ofethe product, and OF the la9ol

it is sufficient confession Of incom-
potency as to justify the people in
refusing to return a single one OF
them as their representatives in any
department of government.
A Tariff for Revenue.
The issue on the tariff is squarely
drawn. The democratic party be-
lieves in a tariff for revenue only. We
do not advocate any sudden reduc-
ton or overturning of the present
system but rather a gradual one
that will allow legitimate business
to adjust itself to the change. First,
by removing the tariff from trust
made articles and those produced
and manufactured in this country
but sold cheaper in foreign countries
than at home. Second, gradual re-
duction on the necessities Of life
until we have reached revenue
basis.
A tariff for revenue is based upon
constitutional grounds of necessity
raising sufficient revenue to defray
the expense of government &C.
onomically administered. The only
claim made as to the constitutional
ity of a protective system is. that it
promotes the general welfare OF the
people, Instead of promoting, the
general welfare it has accomplished
exactly the opposite. 1t has been
the primary means, and cause, OF the
unequal distribution of wealth, made
