Government Ownership of Railroads
Inevitable

Government ownership of railroads
very soon, is inevitable" says Mr..
Marsh. "The only issue is as to the
amount the government shall pay for
them. The present value of the rail
roads is around twenty billions of dol
lars The total amount the railroads
have paid for land for rights of way
and terminals, which they have pru-
IDENTIFY invested, is probably about ten
billions. The railroads want to be
paid the present value. They are en-
titled to receive only the value they
have given, and they have not given
any of the increase in land values. The
real estate of the Illinois Central cost
that road two hundred thousand dol
lars. 1t was worth, in 1900, thirty-foul
million dollars. The Interstate Com
merce Commission stated that the in
crease in land values of the Burlington
railroad is estimated at $150,000,000

revealed a comparatively small number
cradle good was done, the effect was
not great. More attention was then
given to holding farmers meetings at
the station and showing the farmers
there what had been accomplished.
Demonstration plats were established
in various sections of the state and the
importance of improved methods was
clearly demonstrated. The farmers
were brought together on these demon
stration plats and the results explained,
apparently with great success. Ua-
doubtedly much good was done. The
number of such demonstrations was in
creased by hiring farmers to handle
ing to directions and paying them a
bonus for conducting the work. The
demonstrations were usually successful
and undoubtedly did considerable good,
but the number who profited was COM
paratively small. 1t was largely the
more progressive members of the COM
munity, the same ones who profited
most from publications and institutes.
The masses who most needed the help,
were not getting It, If they visited
the demonstration farm, they admitted
that it might be possible for the
state to do it, with plenty of money
and experts or "that Mr.. G.. could of
course afford to do it, if he was paid
for it, or "that Mr.. S. who was gem
! orally known in the community to be
be well off, could do it because he had
plenty of money and help, -" "but what
could a poor fellow do who had to de-
pend upon his own labor and who had
only little money?' They agreed
them to make any use of demonstra-
tions which showed only what other
people with plenty of money and more
favorable conditions could accomplish. -
So far as l know, the national de.
partment of agriculture was the first
to learn the lesson that this teaches
and to act upon it. When the boil
weevil came to Texas, something had to
be done and done quickly. A one-crop
system of farming had to be suddenly
changed to diversifcation; a hand-to-
mouth method of living, and borrowing
fr.n- one cotton crop to another had to
be replaced by a sound economic sys-

try by the thousands and some sections
were almost depopulated. The state

of no value after they have served as

tions which Angelo Rizzi, ex-saloon
keeper of Glenwood Springs will prob
ably be called upon to answer in the

Last Saturday little bird told
sheriff Jessup that Rizzi was about to
receive an express consignment OF
booze which he would probably take to
his home on South Grand avenue. The
sheriff consulted with Marshal Rohr
and the latter agreed to keep an cyl on
the express office and apprehend Rizzi
when he made demand for the wei
goods.
The officer did not have long to wait,
for Riszi soon drove up to the office
and called for his barrel. After he had
signed for the shipment which was
billed as beer and which he declared
was beer, he loaded it into his wagon
and started away in the direction OF
his suburban home. At this point Mar

There are those who have fine, big

1t has been his custom each year to
send check for $4,000 to the county
hospital for the purchase of presents
for the ill and unfortunate in that in
stitution and this year, with his usual
thoughtfulness, Mr.. VanSycle tele-
phoned the bank to place the said sum
to the order of J. H. Campbell, super
intendent of the hospital. Without
this munificient gift those lonely ones
out there would have very little, if
any Christmas cheer, now each one of
the nineteen inmates will have din

gratitude to the kindly gentleman who

suspicious of the officers were cor-
firmed, and instead of beer exclusively
the barrel was found to contain sew

The Two Cooperating to Bring
About Better Farms, Better
Schools, Better Homes
EXPERIMENT STATIONS
(By A. F. Woods, Dean and Director
Agriculture and Forestry, Univer-
sity of Michigau) -

Agriculture and Forestry, Univer-
sity Of Michigan) s-S5
In the early days of agricultural ed
ucation, no clear distinction was made
between the work of experimenta.io
and demonstration.
The fundamental idea of the expert
ment station was to solve agricultural
problems by the scientific experimental
tion method. The land provided was
intended to be used for the purpose
Where the work was properly conduct
ed, the experiment farm, as it was CON-
monty and correctly called, was mine
of valuable information and many pro-
gressive farmers visited it to see for
themselves what it had to teach. They
went away, satisfied, with facts Of
great value.
When the reports and bulletins de
scrihing the work were published, these
progressive farmers were interested
readers; some of them already had
profited, or would profit, by the in
formation gained. They formed large
and very influential support to the sta
ton and college work. They we're the
supporters Of farmers institutes, agri-
cultural societies, and fairs, and took n
progressive part in everything that had
to do with community betterment
With this constituency supporting them
the colleges and stations felt satisfied.
During the years of great agricul
tural expansion and over production,
this sort of work was all that could be
successfully carried on. The average
farmer was not then interested in ex-
Periments. If he visited the station
farm, it did not appeal to him. He
could not realize that the failure of =
crop in an experiment was often of as
great value as success, in the lesson
that it taught, and when he learned
that. the station received $4,000 n
year from the national government, and
often as much more from the state, his
disgust was complete. He had no use
for a farm that he thought couldn't It
raise as good crops as he did. This
mattered little until the pressure Of
population on land and the scarcity OF
new land raised land values and the
values of agricultural products and
the problem of more efficient farming
became acute and Of general interest.
The question was then asked, why,
with all Of these improved agricultural
methods, does not agriculture keep
pace with the demands made upon it.
The colleges and experiment stations
sought the answer to this question from
every possible source Of information
and viewpoint. A careful study of the
situation revealed the fact that only
about 10 per cent Of the farmers made
any use Of station publications. What
were $4,000 to 10000 bulletins anyway,
scattered among several hundred thous-
and aDd in SONS states millions Of pec-
Iple, who needed the infofnstien thy

!uries Favor Defendants in Wilson
Alienation Suit and Brunton-
Stap|eton Calf Case
Shelley BRIDGE CASE NOW ON

1t is expected that the district court
will close today for the term, and
judge, lawyers, jurors and witnesses
seem to view the end without regrets
as it has been rather wearisoms
grind for all concerned. This is prin-
cipally due to the fact that Judge
Shumate is obliged to leave for Steam
boat Springs the first of January and
in order to finish the business on the
docket by that time it was necessary
to crowd the work little more than
usual and therefore long sessions have
been held, court convening sometimes
as early as nine 'clock in the morn
ing and continuing in session at times
to six in the evening except for short
midday intermission. While it is
probable that few motions may yet
be heard by the court before he departs
for the northern part of the district
the last jury trial for the term is now
being heard.
The case of William B. Andrew
against John Wilson for 100000 dam
ames for alienation of Mrs. Andrew s
affections was decided last Saturday
the verdict of the jury being for the
defendant.

Thomas Stapleton was on cary this
week and this proved to be most in

And There Were Shepherds :"
By Reginald Wright Kaufman

# HE night was calm, the night was clear,
The unexpectant night was cold;
The earth was ruled by hate and fear,
The earth was sad and mad and old
And Herod in his palace pent
Augustus at his apogee
A song? They knew not what it meant!
A promise star? They could not see!
But far upon Judean farms
The farmfolk watched their herds by night,
Beyond Herodan alarms,
Beyond the Roman thirst for might,
And heard and saw, with quick release
Of angels down the azure way
The song that sang the Prince of Peace,
The star that pointed where He lay.
