Washington. May 4-Now comes the
discovery that Burdette ID. Townsend.
one OF Mr.. Roosevelt's special trust
investigators. was assigned. in 1906.
10 investigate the harvester trust, and
that he reported that it was a monopo-
ly in every sense of the word: that it
was holding up farmers. receiving re-
bates from the steel trust and rail-
roads, and that the trust was organ
iEed by George w Perkins. who is
now financing the Roosevelt campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt said recently he new
er had any reports suppressed. But
this report was suppressed. The pub
lie never heard OF it. 1t died by the
ehloroforming process. as a result of
air. Roosevelt's order TO his attorney
general not TO start suit against the
harvester trust.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was protect
ing the harvester trust from prosecu-
ton by the federal government, that
organization was being driven from
Missouri. Aklahoma and other states
whose legal machinery was not un-
der the domination of Wall street.
The Townsend report showed that
the harvester trust controlled 80 per
cent Of total harvester industry in
this country. and stated that George
W. Perkins conducted the negotia-

The most effective weapons EN-
ployed by the harvester trust" report
ed Mr.. Roosevelts investigator, are
of the invisible kind. 1t is directly
allied with that group of Standard Oil
and commercial aggregations com
monty known as the steel trust, the
coal trust. the railroad trust, the bank
ing trust, etc Rebates. prices of raw
materials, extending or refusal Of
bankin gcredit. can all be manipulated
with a discriminating favor which is
murderous to the competitors Of the
International Harvester company
This, then, is the kind of informa-
tion Theodore Roosevelt had on the
harvester trust when he instructed his
attorney general not TO start suit with
out letting him know, with the conse-
quence that suit was never started.
Considering these facts. is it any
wonder that George w. Perkins, or
ganizer of the Illegal harvester trust
and director OF the illegal steel trust,
who might today be in the penitentiary

immunity from prosecution, spent 81 q
