I Industry should be divided over all OF
the country In FL Paso, for instance,
iuterurban lines should insure each
man his acre Of ground, where he could
farm The industries here should take
care Of the Ell PasO territory and not Try

same way as the industries IN huge
eastern cities should take care OF their
territory and not become so large that
to work them means the coping up OF
hundreds OF Iaborers IN a small space

York, Pittsburg and Chicago. but now

equipped with brakes for the first time
on Saturday and that is one reason

they do do. The view over the south

make the ascent and see it"
