PROFITS IN FARM WEEDS.

All things seem to be coming the
farmers way these days. The gov
ernment analyses his soil, experiments
for him and is talking of lending him
money, and now even his weeds, which
have long been regarded as an in
eradicable pest, are to be turned to
account for his profit.
Francis L. Stewart, who has q la
boratory in western Pennsylvania, has
patented a process for making paper
from weeds and believes that by
means of it good paper may be made
for less than we pay for the poor
quality of paper today.
When the demand for weeds in
creases the slack farmers whose over
grown land has heretofore been a
reproach may surpass their more
thrifty neighbors in returns for Their
respective crops.

once declared he could save the rail-
roads Of the country millions Of dol
lars every day, in . statement written
for the United Press, today champion
ed Senator Il Follette's act provid-
ing for the physical valuation of rail-
roads by the interstate commerce COM
mission. He insisted that before the
people can know whether the money
they pay to railroads Is honestly and
necessarily spent, interlocking directo-
rates must be abolished and q federal
bureau Of railroad costs established.
Mr.. Brandeis charges that ]. p.
Morgan 4 Company and other bankers
have . monopoly Of selling to many
railroads the money they need, at
rates Of the bankers own fixing.
BY Louis D. Brsndeis.
The La Toilette act providing for
the physical valuation Of railroads by
the interstate commerce commission,
is . great step forward. The sena-
tors ssvsn-ysar hght has been nobly
won. Tho act IL but another appli-
cation Of La Follstts's favorite motto
-"Ys shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free"
Everybody admits that the value Of
railroad property Is one Of the ele-
ments to be taken into consideration
by the interstate commerce commits
sion in fixing rates, and everybody has
been obliged 70 admit that the COM
mission was without reliable data
bearing upon this value Under the
L . Toilette act the public will at least
bti furnished with the best evidence Of
va lue available.
'' But there il more truth which must
be known before La Follette's task OF
sec uring TO the people just railroad
rat es, is eocmpleted. To secure just
and. reasonable rates, other steps must
be taken. We must know, besides the
act, iaI value Of railroad property, the
actual cost Of operation and the cost
OF current construction and Of new
equi. .pment. The Sailrosd reports give
US now . statement Of what they
spend each year; but the public has
no means Of knowing whether this
amount has been we'll spent.
In ths calendar year 1912 the rail.
roads collected from the American
people In gross earnings, 33,045,77s,-
321, most Of which has be en- spent In
some way. About one-thi I'd Of that
amount has gone In interest and divi.
dends and taxes. The physi cal valu
alton would help US TO know W hat par
Of that interest and dividend Is pait
on capital which is water. Abou'
two-thirds Of the years revenues ii
paid out for operating expenses. II
is least equally important to know
what part Of that revenue has be er
spent unnecessarily; what part h.u
been wasted through dishonesty, ant
what part through ineffciency. Be-
sides the $4,000, 900 900 Of current rev.
enues spent in operation, there are
each year expended hundreds Of mil
lions in new construction or the pur-
chase Of equipment What part of
the money spent for new eonstruc-
tion or equipment il efficiently and
honestly spent! Until We know all
this, ws cannot know whether rates
