Bacon company ever since it began
making candies and is proud of the

almost as old as he and have been
making sweets for the youngsters in
the summer and for Santa and the
Bunny in the winter

Bu GLLSON. GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-That
there is no occasion for laying on
railroad employees is shown by the
sworn returns made TO the interstate
commerce commission by the rah
roads themselves.
The revenues OF all railroads.&c.
net revenues-that Is, their revenues
above all expenses and all taxes dur.
ing the past four.year period, COM
mencing 1910, have been greater than
for any other fourSear period since
the steam-epgine was invented. This
statement was made in sworn testi-
mony before the commission BY Cliff
ford Thorne railway expert. and
chairman OF the Iowa state railway
commission.
The fact is the railroads have de-
liberately misrepresented their hnan-
cial condition. They have juggled
their books. Anyone who doubts this
has only TO look at the returns made
by the Pennsylvania railroad. one OF
the eastern lines now demanding in
creased rates and laying on it's men.
These returns show that the Penn
sylyania attempted 10 conceal it's pros.
porous condition by charging on
huge sums TO renewals and deprecia-
ton. These are items which are
largely discretionary with the roads.
The Pennsylvania increased its
allowance for renewals and deprecia.
ton OF freight cars last year 80 per
cent over the previous year" said
Mr.. Thorne. In the same way the al
lowance for locomotives was increased
10 per cent last year as against the
year. before. This one item meant an
increase or more than S2,00O.000. II
am not able TO explain" said Mr.
Thorne, and do not claim to say

They're Getting Land
BY L. GUTIERREZ DE LARA

In the present revolutionary turmoil
in Mexico, when the rattle OF the rifle
and the booming OF the artillery in the
I battlefield, the abhorrent but neces.
sary execution OF prisoners, the depor-
tation OF the enemies OF both factions
and the International complications
attracts our attention, the real issue
OF the fight is largely overlooked or
ignored; but. in spite OF this. the rev.
olutionary issue Is. step by ste?, slow
~ but firmly, overpowering Mexico.
We refer TO the solution OF the agrar-
ian problem, the real and only cause
of the present strife
In previous communication we
wrote about the confscation by the
revolutionary government of the land
from the big landowners in Sonora.
This was accomplished about eight
months ago In the meantime, the
irevolutionists controlling the northern
part Of the state OF Tamaulipas car
ried out this same issue in a most
clear-cut way by sending civil engin-
GERS TO that district to divide the
large haciendas into small farms OF
about 10 acres each. and giving TO
former poems documentary titles 70
these small farms In consequence
within the last six months hundreds
OF small farms have appeared where
before three or four landlords were
monopolizing the land
II was not until the revolution had
accomplished complete driving ont
OF the landlords the state al
) chihuahua that the military forces
were able to undertake the accomp-
lishment of the characterization Of the
land and, about three weeks ago, the
military government. by an official
proclaimer gave 10 very head OF a
family, man or woman, actually resi-
dent in the state, the right TO own a
small farm OF about 20 ares, a part
of which is well irrigated land, and
the rest grazing La d. for the mainte-
nance OF the necessary cattle and
sheep for support of the family
Also, about two weeks ago, in the
state OF Durango. the revolutionary
government proclaimed that no for
elgner would be allowed 10 buy lands
any more in that state. This decree
IS the consequence OF the necessity
of preventing the former, land owners
transferring their property TO foreign
subjects. thus causing their various
governments 10 make International
claims for the prote ton OF the in
I terests. indirectly Of the Mexican land
owners who had driven the nation TO
the present turmoil. Already this land
! Is being worked by the peon, now a
small proprietor, and as soon rs the
revolutionists grow stronger and have
complete control. this democratizatlon
