TO CONSERVE CATTLE SUPPLY

Alarmed at the shortage of cattle.
the National Live Stock Exchange
at their convention in Portland,
Oregon, in June, 1912, considered
this question; is it not time some
concerted action be taken to con-
serve our cattle supplya"
Mr.. Horace H. Fletcher, of In
dianapolis, who brought the ques-
ton before the convention, quoted
some startling figures. One com.
parison he made was that while the
increase in population for ten years
was IL per cent the total number OF
cattle In the country decreased 9
per cent.
These figures tend to porve that
1t is only question of time when
our beef cattle will be extinct.
Thirty or forty years ago when our
western plains were dotted with
buffalo, to prophesy that the ex-
tinction of that animal would take
place in few years would have
been laughed at, yet the same bids
fair TO overtake our domestic
animals.
The remedy sought by the Live
Stock Exchange is to pass laws for
bidding the slaughter of calves, but
it is questionable whether such leg:
islation would have the desired eff
feet, for if calves are now slaught-
cred because of the high cost of
grain, then laws compelling the
raising ofcalyes would be unecopom-
ical and would force people out of
the cattle raising business. Neither
is there any opportunity to increase
the cattle ranges because the ranges
are being cut up into small home
steads.
These conditions mean a short
supply of hides with leather scarce
and high in price, and when we
consider the enormous quantities of
leather used in the automobile, fur
niture and other industries, we can
readily understand why it is that
shoes have steadily risen in cost
and must continue to do so in the
future as long as shoes are made
principally of leather.
These conditions are the result of
the world wide operation of law of
supply and demand, over which the
shoe manufactures and the shoe
dealer have no influence whatever.
The consumer gets square deal in
shoes because of the unchecked
competition of 1900 shoe manu-
facturers and $4,000 retail shoe
dealers. That shoes are high and
going higher is not their fault, but
is due to natural condition.

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW

the other is to do under the agree.
| ment. He is to NOW your lawn;
you are to give him fifty cents.
He is to rent your house paying you
twenty dollars a month; you are to
furnish him with the use of that
house. There is mutuality of obli-
cation. and thus the difficult ques-
ton of the consideration SO neces-
sary to contracts does not arise.
You have agreed definitely
enough with your neighbor that he
is to have the trees now growing in
your acre woodlot, and he is to pay
you hundred dollars therefore, the
trees to become his property as
they stand Eac.sa of uou is to give
something, So there is considera-
ton. You do not want litigation to
arise from this agreement; you do
not want, or expect, to go to court
to have it enforced, else you would
not have entered into it-for the un-
probability of buying law suit
is proverbial. But you do want to
haye the agreement in such form
that, if disagreement should arise
you would be able to enforce your
rights. You may not be able to

if you can, that would only involve
you in an action for assault and bat

such form that if you must assert
your rights you will have them in
a form which the law-the proce-
dure provided for the enforcement
of rights-will recognize.
Probably the principal reason
why the average man finds his con-
tracts unenforceable is because of
the lack of the written evidence
which the law requires in certain
classes of cases. In the case of the

The Hoosier Bards gave the White
Crests a severe trouncing last Tues
day evening, and incidentally set
that organization back peg in the
league race. This was the first
victory for the Bards,. and they
made good one out of it, taking
the honors by a score of eight to

Doc Fortunes sluggers got away
with a 4 to start in the first inning
off Sutherland's delivery, added
two more in the second, and then,
after a blank inning, rubbed it i'm
by tallying ten runs in the fourth,
off Schuster. The Crests scored
one run off Irv. Stewart, three off
Geo. Stewart and three off Harry

WASHINGTON LETTER
FROM JAMES A. FREAR, MEMBER or
CONGRESS, 10th DISTRICT

Supreme Court sustaining Mime.
sofas passenger rate law, is far
reaching victory in favor of state
control of always. This decision
was of equal Importance to Wiscon-
sin, for had the lower courts ruling
been affirmed, the struggle in our
state for railway regulation, from
1901 to 1907, would have been value
less, and the holding of the Su-
preme Court in this case is there
fore triumph for progressive state
government and for the state con.
troll of railways and public utilities.
While facilitating ourselves over the
result. one phase of the case has an
unusual aspect.
The two cent passenger rate law
was PASSED in Wisconsin in 1907
after a narrow defeat in 1905 Pro-
fitting by our example Minnesota's
Senate, House of Representatives
and Governor joined in passing
similar law, but the railways at
once brought action before FEEDER
al Judge to set aside the law of that
state. After hearing the case, with
one sweep of his pen, this Judge
nullifed law that had been gained
for Minnesota after years of strug-
gle. From that day to this, during
a period of several years, passen9-
ers travelling in Minnesota have
paid three cents a mile or so per
cent more than was paid in Wiscon-
sin for the same service. WiScon-
sin passengers paid two cents to
Hudson on the Omaha. the same
rate to Somerset on the 500, or to
La Crosse on the Milwaukee Rail
way; but from the state line, three
cents was charged and paid on the
same train to points in or across
the Gopher state. After several
years of waiting, the last court
holds that the Federal Judge was
wrong and the law of Minnesota is
valid.
The case forcibly demonstrates
that a Judge appointed for life, &C.
countable to no one, has greater
power than both branches of the
Legislature with the Governor
thrown into the bargain; and this
if true, not only of Minnesota, bat
of every other state.
No recovery can be had by those
who have overpaid the railways
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
freight and passenger charges.
Ordinarily unsuccessful litigants
are compelled to pay back with
interest the amount in controversy,
bat in this case the railways profit
ed by litigation although they lost
the suit. Railway companies and
other interests have right to in
slant and complete protection
against laws that may confiscate
property, but with hundreds of
thousands of dollars in over charges
snugly slowed away in railway
vaults, with no means of prying it
loose, the mistake of this Judge
comes high.
1t is interesting to know that the
opinion sustaining the Minnesota
two cent passenger rate law was
delivered by Justice Hughes of the
United States Supreme Court. A
half dozen years ago when Hughes
was governor of New York. he Veto
ed two cent passenger rate law
passed by that state. The present
decision of So printed pages lays
down important principles for the
valuation of railway properties in
order to determine what earnings
are reasonable.

If woman's beauty depended upon

In h majority of cases the basis of
