SOME "HIGH UP" CONVICTED
President John H. Patterson Of the
National Cash Register Company
One OF the Number.

In Cincinnati, O., on Monday, Feb
ruary II, President John H. Patter-
son Of the National Cash Register
Company of Dayton, Ohio, was SEN
fenced to serve one year in the
county Jail at Troy, Ohio, and to pay
fine of 81 900 for violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. Twenty
eight other officers and employees of
the company were sentenced, vary
ing from three months to one year,
and were ordered to pay the costs
of the prosecution.
It is not the fine which is dis
tressing but it is the Imprisonment,
yet one years seryitude is compar-
atively light and will soon come to
an end if it seem to be long to the
convicted.
1t is only by the terrors of the
law that these and others like them
may be persuaded.
The sentences were pronounced
after United States Judge HOLSTER
had scored the defendants bitterly
for their business methods, methods
which he declared were needless in
a concern where millions of dollars
could have been made legitimately
and without violation of the law.
Closing he said: ''The government is
strong enough to protect its people,
whether this protection extends TO
the transportation Of dynamite
across the land for the purpose Of
blowing up bridges or the laying Of
hands upon men who seek to stiflle
competition b. illegal business
methods" ,.....E +. asss -

were men who knew their business
and would not stand for interfer-

sheriff has asked for a grand jury,

the commissioners. and now his

Interesting Grange Meeting.

That the state should not expend
more than $25O.0OO for advertising
its products at the Panama-PacifiC
exposition in San Francisco In 1915
was the decision of the Pomona
Grange of this county at Welcome
last week. All the grangers In SEES.
sion were of the belief that the state
should be represented. but opinions
to the amount that should be ex.
pended varied.
The estimate of the state expo
sition commission totals 100000
and is detailed rs follows:
Buildings. furnishings and equip
ment. $4,000.
Exhibit, assembling. preparing
and returning $4,000.
Maintenance, administration and
general expenses. $125,OOO.
State publicity and exploitation
$4,000.
Entertainment, $4,000.
TIL item most objected to at the
grange meeting was $4,000 fol
buildings and equipments. The gen
eral opinion was that $4,000 was
enough for that purpose. Many
of the members favored Fruit In.
spector Flint's suggestion to build
a big, modern barn for exhibit pur
poses.
1t was not so much the size oil
the proposed appropriation that
scared the farmers, as 1t was lack
of confidence in the men who will
have the spending of it The grange
mem bers do not believe 1t is neces'
sary to have big banquets and dress
suit balls and functions to proper
ly advertise the state and they ex-
pressed that the commission would
use a large part of the $4,000 for
maintenance and administration In
that manner. One of them said:
at isn't the swallOw-tailed class
of immigrants that we are working
for. They will never clear many
acres of stumps II we get them
The kind of men we want to inter-
est is the sort who want to zee
what we grow and how we make
our money"
The Pomona grange will oppose
a greater than $250.000 appropria-
ton.
