Digger Work


Asbury Park, N. J.-Georpe w K
boyce, manager of the C. EFF Hot.
TICK farm near Farmingdale. was ar
ralgned before Police Justice P r
Dodd of Neptune township. accused of
beating his wife after he had hitched

awaiting effort to make a patent potato
digger work. 1t was charged Rovce
hooked himself, his thirteen-year-old
son and his wife to the digger, but the
EFFORTS of the three. despite the horses
ala, were insufficient for the farmers
purpose. Becoming enraged, Boyce is

thrown her into a gully. The COM
plant was made by a married daugh-
ter. Mrs. Grace Townel, of Elizabeth.
M.
Boyce was held in 5000 bail to await

went down in the Titanic he left an
estate. speaking in round numbers. val
ued at about $9O.OOO.OOO.
II am informed by the officials in
New York city that this estate repre-
sents the increase in value of an orig
inal Investments great many years
ago, of cOurSe-Of less than 100000
and that all of this immense fortune
has been brought about by the in
crease in value Of real estate, princi-
pally on Manhattan island. in which
for all these years the estate has been
invested
with an investment. let us say
and it is liberal. as | understand it
Of 100000 years ago made by the
original Aston, the estate has grown
until at this death of John Jacob Astor
it amounted to $9O,OO0,OOO. During all
those years. for several generations,
the Astors have really done nothing
except to see the estate grow and be-
come more valuable and to live in lux
ury off its income
'This property. originally worth ST.
100000, now worth $9O,OOO,OOO has
been made valuable by the public.
Every man who ever paid taxes in
New York has contributed something
toward its value Every man who ever
erected a building on Manhattan isl
and. whether it was a mansion on
Broadway or humble cottage in the
suburbs. has done something to make
this estate greater.
From the man in the street who
laid the paving blocks to the master
minds that planned the giant skyscrap-
ers which lift their heads up in the
clouds, every one Of them has con-
tributed something to the Astors.
Every drop of sweat that ever trickled
down over the brow of labor on Man
haitian island for century has con-
tributed its mite to the Aston fortune.
There is nothing unjust Mr.. Presi-
dent. there is nothing unfair in such q
case. after the man who owned it has
used it during his lifetime for the gov
eminent to say ut his death. before
anybody shall take his fortune which
the people of the country have in real
ity made We will levy tax and give
portion Of it back to the people,"

Then she proceeded to build the coffin

with hardly halt to reach Grizzly
Gulch so that her husband might be
buried with suitable rites.

More-Outlines His Reasons For Be-
lieving Amendment Was A Good
One-Defeated by Decisive Vote.

WashingtOn.-The names of Vincent
Astor, Andrew Carnegie and other men
of great wealth figured in a discussion
in the senate on the subject of swollen
fortunes. Several very unkind things
were said about the laird Of Skibo and
the means which he had adopted to
distribute his fortune.
The discussion came up on an amend
ment to the tariff bill offered by Sena-
tor Norris of Nebraska. 1t provided
for graduated Inheritance tax. The
tax starts at per cent ON inheritances
of $4,000 and is graduated rapidly up
ward to proposed levy of 10 per cent
on inheritances of more than $5O,OOO,-
coo.
The Norris amendment was defeated
by an overwhelming vote.
Senator Norris said in speaking of
his amendment:
ITO illustrate the working out of this
amendment l wish to take the estate
of John Jacob Astor. Let me say right
here that l have nothing against any
of the Astors or any of their predeces-
sors or any of those who live now. AS
far as l know none of them has ever
done dishonorable act in the acquisi-
ton of property.
LAS far as l know the present young
Mr.. Aston is perfectly honorable. per-
fectly honest and has not done any
thing to secure his fortune that is lille
gal. disreputable. unfair or dishonest.

cost and without seeking dividend

The organizations for production
and distribution of farm products fol-

are sold by the producer at a relatively

Credit Is the keystone Of the organi-

The task is to discover plan whereby
that credit may be made cheaply and

In the United States the farmer is
