ROAD TO PLATEAU
C|TY'S GREAT NEED
J. N. SampIiner Says That It
Would Mean Much to Pros
perity Of the Valley.

while the citizens of Grand
Junction are busily engaged in offer
ing bonuses for new railroads, they
should not forget the necessity of a
road connecting the Grand with the
Plateau valley" said J. NJ. Samplin-
er. the well known merchant and
financier, this morning.
II have no doubt that a north and
south road would be a great factor in
the development of the country, but
what is most needed at present, and
what at the same time is something
that we can build If We go after il,
is road into the Plateau valley.
= ''Such a road, l believe, can be
constructed for 100000. and 1t
would be worth almost that much an
nually to the business men of Grand
Junction.
THE community should be able to
finance such railroad without much
outside help. and its completion
would soon show a remarkable de-
velopment of Mesa county"

Aid for Farmers.
The bill as finally agreed to makes
generous provisions for the farmers
interests. For the first time, in the
history of national banking, the
banks supervised by the federal gov
ernment are authorized to make
loans on farm lands-the best secur-
ity known to man-and these mort
cages may run for five years. In
addition paper secured by farm pro-
ducts-wheat. cotton, corn, etc.-is
made the subject to re-disconnt at
the federal reserve banks and the
maximum period or maturity is ex-
tended to six months. This provi-
sion places the paper of the farmer
and stock raiser, secured by the pro-
ducts of farm or ranch, in the pre-
ferred class along side the prime
commercial and industrial paper of
the merchant and manufacturer.
There was earnest opposition to this
provision and much loose talk about
"corn-tassel' currency. But the
friends of the farmers were in the
majority and routed their opponents
by derisive majorities.

Enthusiastically recommended that the

IS REMEDY FOR TRUSTS
Representative Bailey Explains the
Workings Of Single Tax-Reviews
Instances of Corners.
FAILED IN OATMEAL INSTANCE
BY Congressman G. H. Tavenner.

Washington, June .-Represen-
tative Warren Worth Bailey, the
most eminent of the single tax ex-
ponents in the house, took the oppor-
tunity afforded by the debate on the
trust bills to explain the single tax
remedy for trusts. The resume of
his address was: @-
Repeal all tariffs.
''Take over all natural monopOlies.
''Untax labor and the products of
labor, and for all other taxes sub
stitutte a single tax on the value
of land, irrespective of improve
ments." .a..1t%:
Most trusts, explained Mr.. Bailey,
are products of a system which per-
mits private taxation of the people
through the control of natural re-
sources. ...~-. s...,. -, -... .
"Trusts. do not attempt to corner
the north wind" he said. "They
seek to get control of things which
are limited in quantity, and so every
really effective trust in the long run
must be one that in some form is a
landlord" 49,. -.
He explained how the oatmeal
trust came to grief because after it
had raised the price of oatmeal,
millers everywhere found they could
grind oats profitably. The market
was flooded and the trust broke, be-
cause it had failed to monopolize the
raw material.
The paper trust, he said, was able
to thrive because it cornered prac-
tically all the spruce timber in the
United States, and the protective
tariff prevented the importation of
Canadian spruce. - d
Once the trust, however, captures
the raw material, it's power to exact
tribute is enormous. Mr.. Bailey
told the story of the Colby iron mine
in Michigan. The owner of the land
leased the privilege of mining the
ore to the Colbys at a royalty. The
Colbys Immediately released it. to
Morse & Co., for greater royalty.
Morse & Co. let contract to take
the ore out for a specified payment
per ton. The operator was getting
a wide margin of profit, so he found
capitalist with q mining outfit and
hired him to do the work. The cap
italist employed the men,
In one year ore worth $236,O73.6O
was taken out. The capitalist with
the machinery received $1O,539, out
of which he paid the miners. But
the great body of profits went to
those who had absolutely no part in
the production. About $4,000 went
to the owner in royalties. The Col
bys' profit in royalties was about
81, 900. Morse & Co. got the
lions share-$11S,OOO. The oper-
ator who hired the capitalist got
$4,000. -..r E...--. q ~. Z
"The only person who did any
work was the capitalist" said Mr..
Bailey, "and his share, for the cap
ital and labor employed in mining
and placing the ore on cars, was less
than five per cent of the total value
of the product. = ,
TN other words, monopoly claim
ed and got 95 per cent of the pro.
duct, and capital and labor divided
between them five per cent. The
difference represents what privilege
demands from the toiler for access
to natural opportunities. 1t repre-.
sents the difference between natura1
wages and the wages fixed by lega
restrictions"
