Poor Business Today.
Meat markets report poor business
today. Too much turkey left over!
Propose to Limit Saloons.

A dispatch from Madison, Wiscon-
sin, states that the State Retail Lii
quor Dealers Protective association
plans to have law introduced into
the next Wisconsin legislature
which will limit the. number of SAL
oons in any one place to one for
each 1000 Of population
1t is further proposed to make it
a misdemeanor for brewer or
wholesaler to be interested in the
retail trade to the extent of holding
lease on a building used for retail
purposes.
The step proposed for Wisconsin
follows the one proposed for Minne-
sofa which goes little farther and
prohibits brewers from being inter-
ested in any way in a retail estab-
lishment. Brewery owned or con-
trolled saloons are not only the men
ace of the state today but also make
it practically impossible for a re-
taller who operates alone to do bust
ness on fair scale.
In many instances the breweries
do not actually own the saloons but
get control through paying the city
license. They get their money back
at the rate of $50 per month and also
get 81 barrel more for their beer
which that saloon must handle ex-
clusively. AS it costs $1.65 to pro-
duce barrel of beer which whole
sales for 81 to the Independent sa-
loon or SO to the brewery controlled
saloon, it is a good investment in
more ways than one for the brewery
to pay the license or to otherwise get
control of retail establishment.
But it is not only the independent
retailer that is hurt by brewery
ownership. The city breweries, with
their large capital, are able to ope-
rate all over the state. There are
many small breweries, of which Be-
midi has one, which have not much
capital and whose area of operations
is limited. Under the present sys-
tenn, these small breweries must tie
up a big portion of their capital in
saloon fixtures and licenses in order
to obtain bar over which their pro-
duct may be sold.
This is not defense of the small
brewer but in this case, at least, it is
to his interest to stay with the gen
eral public in the fight on brewery
owned saloons. Minneapolis has
made great fight during the past
year and there are many indications
that the Minnesota legislature will
consider a law forbidding brewery
owned or controlled saloons from do
ing business in this state.

Senate Combine is Formed.

The following editorial from the
st. Cloud Journal-Press hits the nail
on the head. The Pioneer is glad to
reproduce it:
"The latest in state politics is that
majority of the state senator's, COM
prising all the Democrats and the So
called sand pat Republicans, have
formed combine for the purpose of
taking away the appointment of the
committees from Lieutenant Cover
nor Burnquist. 49,
"These machine senators are do
ing this in the name OF progressive
REFORM which in this instance is an
x-ray of irony.
"This procedure is clearly within
the legal rights of the majority of
the senators, whatever their motives.
1t has been the practice to have the
lieutenant governor appoint the
committees, but neither the consti-
tuition nor the law confers any such
power on him.
@*Such a combine was formed some
years ago when Gideon A. Ives was
lieutenant governor. The reasons
then were political, and a few dis
gruntled Republicans combined with
the Democrats to name the commit
tees. ...~
"Lieutenant Governor Burnquist
is a progressive and he has been
keeping his own counsel. The plain
truth of the matter seems to be that

ATrELL-MURPHY FIGHT AUG. 3,
Coffroth's Match stands Despite Trou-
bile Between Abe and Nolan.

San Francisco, July 25.-The Abe
Attell-Harlem Tommy Murphy twenty
round bout will be staged at Promoter
James w. Coffroth'S Eighth and How
ard street arena, August 3, the date
agreed upon between the fighters fol-
lowing the July postponement This
announcement was made by Promoter
Coffroth last night following an hour S
conference with Attell.
Several days ago the former feather
weight champion startled followers OF
the boxing game by declaring he had
cast off his manager, Billy Nolan, and
would not fulfill any engagements
made by the veteran trainer-manager
At the conference Attel1 agreed to
begin training for the fight today. Muir
ply and his manager, Jim Buckley, ar
rived here from the east several days
ago, and the Harlem lad has been
doing light work for The past couple of
days, despite Attelrs threat to call off
the fight.
The trouble between Attell and No
Ian, according to last nights develop
ments started three weeks ago in Coff-
roth's office. They had gone there to
meet Buckley and Murphy to discuss
the August date. Attell was not sat
isf1ed with Nolan's handling of the
match, and it is said the presence of
outsiders is all that prevented them
from coming to blows. 1t is also said
they agreed at that time to part after
the August battle, but later Abe de-
cided to take matters into his own
hands and call off all existing contracts

Farmers, Organized, Will Wait
Until Price Renches 81.
Thousands of Grain Tanks Be-
ing Built in Kansas.
ONE FARMER LOSES BET

Wheat Yield Better Than Ex-
pected This Year.

Hutchinson, Kan, July 25.-Farn-
ers in the wheat belt in Kansas are
organizing to hold their wheat until
the price reaches the dollar marx.
From a dozen or more towns in this
section of the state comes this report
and although the threshing season
brings a lot of wheat into all the towns
in the wheat country, dealers say it
will not be long until the market boy
colt, if put into effect, will affect local
markets.
There isn't any joke about farmers
organizing to hold crops in Kansas
any more. They are already organ
lied. Their organization, known as
the Farmers union, is state wide and
it is a live concern. The farmers are
Hanging together" And they have
wheat until the price reaches 81 per
bushel.
OF course there is a lot of wheat
moving in Kansas just now. Prob
ably half of the farmers have to dis
pose of at least a portion of their
crop to meet the operating expenses
of the year. But when this wheat is
moved something is going to happen
the price sooner or later. Most of the
big wheat raisers have plenty of bin
room and are financially able to hold
their crop for the price they want
This has been fixed at 81 per bushel.
Thousands of grain tanks are being
erected in Kansas now. Most of them
are of concrete construction Whine
others are built of galvanized iron.
The grain men are hoping that some
thing will happen to prevent the mar
ket boycott but they can't see any
thing Of the kind coming.
CrOps Better Than Expected.
1t isn't often that the Kansas wheat
crop is underestimated. Kansas farm
ers have a habit of expecting the best
because the soil has been good TO
them. This year, however, is the ex-
ception. Wheat which was not plowed

ground to another crop, made from

Stevens of Mcpherson is one of the
several such farmers. He was taken
