pemur In State Rate Suit.


The attorneys for the Missouri Pa

the petition of Attorney General Bar
ker In the circuit court here, wherein
the latter is seeking a judgment for
million dollars against the railroad
on overcharges collected by 1t while
the rate laws were suspended by an
injunction OF the federal court at Kan
sas City. The demurrer was argued
at length before Circuit Judge Slate,
who took II under advisement and will
announce ruling. Judge J. F. Green,
T. L. Phillips and C. r. Corum ap-
peared for the company. The state
was represented by the attorney gen.
eral and two assistants, William NJ.
Fitch and Lee Ewing. II is held in
the demurrer that the attorney gen.
eral is without authority to sue in
the premises, that If there is any la
bility on the part of the railroad at
all, II must be satisfied out of the
$4,000 bond it put up in the federal
court.

Missouri Transportation Companies

Jefferson City.-AH the main line
railroads In Missouri have fled an APP
plication with the state public service
commission for authority to reinstate
the old passenger rates Of three cents
a mile on main lines and four cents
on branch lines, and increase existing
freight rates rs to 800 per cent.
Later, and after full investigation
which will probably consume months,
II not years, the commission will act
upon the application. 1t Is deemed
practically certain that. II the appli-
cation is granted by the commission,
Attorney General Barker will insti-
tute certiorari proceedings in the SUI
preme court, and probably call into
question the very existence Of the
state public service commission.
The action of the railroads, which
was entirely unexpected, Is undoubt-
eddy based upon recent ruling of the
supreme court In the case of the Mis-
souri, Southern Railroad Company,
wherein 1t was held that the state
public service commission had author
fly to set aside statutory rates affect
ing common carriers and install rates
of it's own based, OF course, upon the
earnings of the company.
II is contended that in this proceed
ing the attention Of the supreme court
was not directed to a provision of the
constitution which specifically makes
1t the duty OF the legislature to estab-
fish railroad rates from time to time.
The opinion is expressed by state Of
ficials here that the statutory act Gre
ating the state public service commits
sion and delegating to it the power to
fix railroad rates, is in direct con-
fiict with this provision OF the consti-
tuition.

state TO sue Packers.

Assistant Attorney General Lee b.
Ewing announced that soon after the
opening Of the coming term Of the SUI
preme court, October 10. he will file
quo warranto proceeding and custer
against Swift & Co., of Chicago and
Kansas City, charging violation of the
antitrust laws OF the state. The pro-
ceeding will be the result of an in
quiry that has been conducted all
summer by Special Examiner Nat NJ,
Shelton of Macon, appointed by the
supreme court. Swift & Co., 1t is
charged, have used methods of an un-
fair character in eliminating independ-
ent dealers from competition in a
number OF places in the state, In the
handling OF cream. butterfat and other
dairy products. To get clear field,
witness testified, the packing com
pany would pay in excess of market
prices until competition was forced
out, then would pay much less. The
original complaints against the Swift
people came to Attorney General
Barker from the Missouri Dairy AS
ISOLATION, the state board Of agricul-
ture and from a number of people in
terested in the development OF the
dairy interests OF the state.

To Inspect Wreck Scene.

Public Service Commissioner Frank
A. Wightman has left here for the
scene Of the wreck on the St. Louis &

will determine after arriving there
whether it will be necessary to con-
duct an investigation. Commissioner
Wightman Inspected the lines OF the
Frisco last December, including the
main line from st. Louis to Spring
fieeld, on which the wreck occurred.
In his report of this division he said:
The rail is eighty-iive and seventy
five-poupd and, generally speaking, Is
in good condition. The ballasting OF
the line is weak in many places. The
ballast consists of chats, gravel and
cinders, the latter not desirable or
suitable for this class OF main line.

Critics of New England Farms
By Examination Would Find a

is more profitable than corn growing
in the Central States. Potatoes on the
we'll drained lands of northern New
England and apple orchards on the
uplands of all but the most northern
part are profitable and command mar
kets which are not SO easily reached
from other states. Truck and small
fruit crops are in demand and are
profitable TO raise near to any of the
large, towns and cities. Market milk
is also paying product even some
what further from the cities, but is
not so universally profitable as has
been supposed, when it has to be sold
for the prices frequent at points more
remote from the cities
Peaches are profitable in number

slopes of the Connecticut valley in
Massac husetts and Connecticut, and

voraoly situated, but should not de-
pend exclusively on dairy products.
The growing of young dairy cattle Tor
the use of market milk regions, and
of sheep for mutton utilize part OF
these pastures to advantage Other
products are of local Importance and
profit in various parts of these states,
where special conditions or markets
obtain.
There are two chief problems in New
England farming, where the land has
been under cultivation for so many
years The first is to supply humus
economically. 1t has been supposed
that livestock would do this but 1t is
now evident that in many situations
other means must be employed Short
rotations including a clover sod To
pillow down with frequent regularity
will do much TO keep the needed
amount of humus in the soil. Where
land is in a badly exhausted state
other more hardy crops must first be
grown as green manure to build the
land up to where it will grow clover
in rotation. Winter rye and buck
wheat are two of the most hardy ana
erica cious crops to pillow under green,
fer soil improvement.
Tho second problem is the choosing
of the combination of enterprises to
make the farm most profitable as. q
whole. This very frequently means
selecting the best adapted cash crop
in a given locality to combine with the
dairy farming or other livestock bust
ness. It may also mean the selection
of the proper rotation to employ the
farmer and his teams to best advan-
tage at all times of the year. both in
growing the several crops and in dis
posing of them. This question may
usually be solved from the experience
of successful farmers in the same re-
gion or at least in adjoining states.

Vienna, April 5.-Labor conditions
are beginning to cause serious anxiety
in official and social circles in AUSTRIA
Hungary. 1t is reported that there are
between three and four hundred thous-
and unemployed in the cities and man
ufacturing centers and but little pros
peet of any immediate Improvement in
the industrial situation. At the same
:. time the farmers are complaining that
the country districts are almost with
out male help, nearly all the able
bodied men having emigrated to Ger
many or America. All attempts to rem
edy the situation in town and country
alike have so far proved unsuccessful.
Discomfort is increasing fast. The
growing number of men out of work
threatens to lead TO grave trouble. At
Budapest and Lemberg recent meet
ings Of unemployed developed into dis
orderly bands which pillaged provision
stores and bakeries until they were
dispersed by the military. 1t is feared
that unless some means of relief are
devised very speedily there will be new
disorders on a still larger scale.
In Hungary some action has already
been taken to help the unemployed
but nothing has been done in Austria.
At Budapest the city council has
agreed to contribute funds with the
aid OF the labor unions for some sys-
tematic form of money payments to
the families of men out of work. The
unions have agreed to furnish some six
! thousand volunteer agents who will
make a house to house canvass and
report to the City Council on the actu-
al needs.
In Austria the main difficulty in the
way of helping the unemployed at the
present juncture lies in the unfortu-
nate internal political dissensions. OBJ
struction in the imperial parliament
.in Vienna prevents the issue of new
- loans for much needed public works

e these deficiencies but can take no ac-
