the contract for 30,525 square yards, or
practically twenty-one blocks, going to

over a dozen bidders, the highest of
which was about $4,000. Work will
commence just as soon as spring

the farms Of Iowa We're urged to or
ganize in self protection against trad
ing corporations dealing in farm prod
ucts, by w. B. Quarton, of Algona, in
the convention Of the Farmers Grain
Dealers Association of Iowa. Other
causes cited as reasons for closer or
ganization on the part of the farmers,
were the so-called constant increase
Of middlemen and the amazing in
crease in the cost Of marketing the
products.
Mr.. Quarton criticized existing laws
which he said prevented the farmer
from reaping the full benefit Of his
efforts, particularly those laws which
were framed for the purpose Of pre-
venting illegal combinations, but which
are now being urged against co-opera-
tive societies.
Laws Not Based on Facts.
''The whole theory of the laws re-
ferred to- said Mr.. Quarton, sis that
competition governs trade There may
have been time in the history of
of trade was in general vogue, but 1
think am safe in saying we are far
past that time now, in the case Of large
capitalized commercial corporations;
and when competition ceases to gov
ern trade the only thing left for the
people to do is to pass such laws as
will govern the transgressing trade as
sociations; but such laws would never
become necessary if we had only far
mers' cooperative societies to deal
with. These laws were not made or
intended for them. The laws Of the
country should not prohibit their legi-
innate organization for protective
purposes"
1T is not fair to say by the laws Of
The state, that competition shall gov
arn trade as to one class and not to
all others. Does anyone here think
that the price of grain and livestock
on the Chicago market is fixed by
competition"
Mr.. Quarton urged whole-hearted
support Of the cooperative societies,
and the repeal of laws inimicable to
their existence.

Kloster. the present incumbent of the

in which he set forth his views upon
the subject. While it is not decided as

attorneys will appeal the case TO the
supreme court as they appear con-
tident that they will be able to win
the case.
