be a blessing. But the American
farmer grunts and sweats under mort.

The European mortgage bears as

especially where the banks have all

But in Europe. there are associa-

farmer is liable on the loan, the as

There Is an unlimited market for

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Exactly
20 years ago the people. through con.
gress, enacted the so-called long and
short haul law TO forbid railroads
charging greater price for a short
haul than for a long haul when the
short haul was included in the long
haul. After a quarter OF a century
the supreme court. in its decision in
the "lntermountain" case, has given
its consent that this law may 90 into
effect
The first enactment was In 1886.
The first decision of the court came
about nine years later and stated that
the clause was unconstitutional. This
case was known as the Spokane case.
After years more of agitation. namely.
in 1906. the Dolliver-Hepburn amend
ment TO the interstate commerce law
was passed; re-enacting the long and
short haul provision with an addition
that a certain discretion be granted

vision. Eight years later the supreme
court has reversed its previous deci.
sion as 70 unconstitutionality, and
now admits that such a law is posi-
BILE, and the commission. after 20
years, is empowered to- enforce that
original provision.
The provision Is designed to pre-
vent such monstrosities in rates as is
| illustrated by the fact that during
these years II has at times, cost more
TO send freight from Chicago TO Salt
Lake City than from Boston TO San

Innocent and Trustful

And am right as to your tastes. am
I not? You are sadly deficient in
judgment, and have little knowledge
