a certain detail In the manufacture oi
steel rails. Carnegie opined that he

The committee was thunderstruck.
Here was a man who had made mil.

didn't know how that business was
run.

The reason McCombs was such q
huge success as manager OF the Jer-

he's a Carnegie kind OF fellow. He
doesn't know anything about the

average farmer supported two famil- ies-his own and one in the city. , Today. say the alarinists. the aver age farmer is supporting three ! familieS-his own and two in the ! city The logic of this procedure leads one to believe that in time the average farmer will have more people depend-
 ent upon his efforts than he can care | for.
 There are several elements entering into this question that have been lost sight of-Or, at least, ignored-by the average reader What was true of farm life and the factor of farm pro- duction a score of years ago IS not always true now. Agriculture is car ried on today as q commercial bus mess old methods are giving way to new and better ones. In 1Si0 agri-
 culture composed IS per cent of all gainful occupations. In 1900 this per , centage had been reduced to 8. and the completed census reports of 1910 probably will record a still further reduction. The resources of the Bur eau of Labor show that the same amount of labor required to produce one bushel of wheat in 1S40 will TOW produce nearly twenty bushels of wheat Improvement in farm me thods explains the miracle of how a decreasing agricultural class can keep up the food supply of an increasing urban class, with enough surplus left to make substantial export showing.
 During the decade ending with 1910 the population of this country in creased 2l per cent While tEe city
 population increased 394 per cent the country population increased only III per cent. It will be seen that the food demand from the cities has in
 creased faster than the facilities for production, on the face of the sit uation. Increasing acreage. better
 methods. scientific direction. improv- ed machinery. crop rotation. inten- sive farming-all of these things have
 helped the farmers to keep the city people supplied with food. But the
 ever-increasing demand for food has
 had the inevitable tendency of in-
 crcasing the food cost. Under the
 mechanical law of diminishing re-
 turns-or whatever it is-city people
 will not be able to pay the increaS-
 ing prices. and will be forced to re-
 turn to the farms There is an au-
 to,natic balance which the experience
 of ancient civilizations has demon
 strated. With the vast resources Of
 this country for growing food there
 is no need for fear of starvation, even
 when the population increases by
 many more millions. And with the
 constant improvement in methods os
 production and transportation, the li-
 init of adequate production is moved
 farther and farther away.-Kansas

SALOON INJUNCTION

Fred Marsh Wants a license-City
 Says No-Court Will Decide.

On Tuesday the injunction case brought by Fred Marsh to compel the city of Phoenix to issue him license to operate a saloon in this munich pality will be argued before Judge J. c. Phillips of the superior court. The petitioner, who is represented by Attorney General George Purdy
 Bullard. will argue that the license must issue, first. because there IS nothing in the city charter limiting the number of saloons, and second,
 that the council is proceeding under
 motion and not an ordinance. The city is represented by its at ttorney. T. J. Prescott, who hopes to show that limit of twenty saloons having been established by action of , council. a license could not issue to 1 Marsh. the entire allotment having been already made.
 l MT. Bullard also intimates that there is more behind the case than appears upon it's surface. The present saloons he says, are practically all supplied lby one brewing concern. The new lplants expect to buy elsewhere. ano lthis fact, in the opinion of the law lyer. may be behind the effort whicr
 he says is being made on the part oi the liquor interests to keep the llmi inViolate.
