An Old STORY.

Testimony obtained at Baltimore IN the gov
ernment's suit to dissolve the American Can
company affords an illuminating story on the
cost Of living. One witness told how be had
been manufacturing certain kind Of can which
sold FOR ZIG to SIS per 1000 in small plant
which could have been reproduced for 100000.
The new corporation paid him 800 900 for his
plant and. after buying up the competing plants
IN the State and closing most Of them, raised
the price of those cans to $50 per 1000,
Another witness explained that he had re-
ocivcd s250ao0 for his plant, though $4,000
would have been a high price, II have a bet
ter plant now. and would sell It for 10000" he
said Another manufacturer got $25oooo for a
plant Of which The machinery was worth, at the
outside, $4,000. and the lease about $4,000.
It's the same old story Most of the trusts"
have been created In the same way. Tndepen-
dent manufacturers are bought up at any price
required TO get them in. Good will is CAPT
,ali2ed at a high figure TO Justify the price and
form a basis for future profits When COM
petition has been lessencd sufficiently to enable
The corporation to fix prices, through power
or example the public has to provide the money
to pay dividends on the whole business That
means the maintenance of prices at un-
natural level permanent tax on the consumer.
It Is the history Of most Of the articles of
common consumption today. II prices are
lowered at ell. owing to natural causes cor
cheapsned production, they are still kept higher
than they would be If the business were not
opercapitalized. The new federal trade COM
mission. however. will probably stop that sort
Of thing.

MANUFACTURING CRIMINALS.

Sing Sing the most famous prison in America
is the place whore the State of New York puts
ITS lawbreakers, presumably for just punishment
and possible reformation.
The retiring warden Of Sing Sing has Just
been unburdening himself Of some facts about
sible for IT,
AS for JUST punishment, he declares that he
could pick at random twenty frsftime conviets
and twenty third.time men. and the total SEN
fences of the latter -ha~ddened criminals
would be less than Of the. former
AS for reform possibilities. he explains that
the prison is so hopelessly overcrowded and so
badly in need OF extensions and repairs that
living and sanitary conditions are revolving. The
place rs breeding place of disease. immortality
and crime. The cause, he says, is complete
disregard and neglect by the legislature" Time
after time no has called the attentfu Of the
lawmakers to the situation, but they have never
been interested
The lesson of Hugos Jean Vatican. IT seems
has not yet been learned by enlightened com.
munities Offenders are still driven TO worse
ofTense by puntshments that do not At their
crimes and by environment absolutely unsuited
to refornative effect. Without being sentimental
over criminals, one may say that in such a
case as this the state itself is Just as criminal
els many Of the men cooped up In it's peniten-
tiary.

Forty-Four Tons Of Free Seed

The size of the free seed graft which COZ
eress has voted to abolish after this year, is in
dicated by the fact that the United States has
given 10 one English firm order for flower
an vegetable seed totaling in weight nearly
forty four tons
This probably Is one Of the largest orders
for flower and vegetable seed ever received by
one firm from one customer. as II is not com
posed even IN part OF agricultural seeds or Of
large seeds such peas and beans. Many
hundreds Of acres must have been under Guilt
walton for the production of the weight in
question. How large an area such an enor.
nous quantity Of seeds would sow seems almost
past human computation.
