THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

When the Supreme Court upheld
the Adamson eight-hour law, it was
stated that the employees had won
their fight against the railroads, and
that the latter would be called on to;
pay about forty millions of dollars
per year for wages above the amount
previously paid for the same ser
vices.
But this is misstatement of the
case. The decree of the Supreme
Court in substance is that the people
of the United States shall pay this
additional amount of wages, because
the railroads no longer have substan-
tial property rights in the roads. The
congress of the United States has
created the Interstate Commerce
Commission which passes on all mat
ters Of freight rates in interstate
commerce (and practically all busi-
ness is interstate business) it has
now been decided that the congress
may fix the salaries and wages of
employees on the roads, and it is in
timated that it has the right to con-
troll the men who are so employed
that they constitute a kind of stand
ing army which must obey orders
when called on, with no right to quit
the service Of the company in a body,
or to enter into any agreement to
strike and thereby to obtain higher
wages.
The constitution of the United
States has provided that no mans
property shall be taken without due
process. Of law, and when congress
assumes to fix the compensation of
railroads for services, and to say
how long and at what price the en-
ployees shall work, no man need
doubt that the courts will require
that the railroads be given such COM
pensation as will enable them to pay
their obligations in the way of oper-
ating expenses, and receive in addi-
ton a reasonable income on the
property invested. Any other re-
quirement would mean that their
property would be taken without due
process of law. If then wages are
to be increased, the carrying charges
to the public must be increased, and
the people will pay the freight.
We have then reached new day
in the matter of common carriers.
The amount of compensation for the
money invested will become more
or less fixed sum to be determined
on by congress. Further than the
fixing of this amount, the owners, or
those who suppose that they are the
owners of the railroads, will have no
concern, because the members of
congress will fix all matters pertain
ing to the amount the employees are
to receive, and consequently the
charges which the public are to pay.
In the future, therefore, the peo-
ple need not fool themselves. Every
demand for an increase in wages on
these common carriers is q demand
on the public snd q not fight 6at

The YOUNG Brides First Discovery

Their wedding tour bad eudei, and
they entered their new hone to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blIssful honeymoon.
But alas the young brides troubles
soon began, when she tried to reduce
the cost of living with cheap "Dig can"
baking powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of 1t was
cheap ma erials, which had no leaven
ing power Such powders will not always
give the desired results. And because OF
the absence of leavening gas, it requires
from two or three times as much TO raise
cakes or biscuits as it does of Calumet
Baking Power.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powd re-, lie more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking pow lers often leave The
bread bleached and acid, sometimes
yellow ana alkalide, and often unpsla
able. They ore not always of uniform
strength and quality.
Now the b'ide buys Calumet-th .
perfectly wholesome baking powder,
moderate in price. and always uniform
and reliable Calumet keeps indefinitely
makes cooking easy, and is cerIsinly
the most economical after all.

PROTECT YOUR ANIMALS FROM
DucKlEc AND ANTHRAX
Colorado Agrl College

Blackleg and anthrax in our lower
animals have been looked upon as dis
eases that were practically incurable
but easily prevented by vaccination. In
small herds the double blsck!eg vaccine
has been considered most effective,
while in large herds of the West. where
vaccination is quite chore. the single
vaccine has been mostly used. The
double vaccine has been used in anthrax.
Now We have on the market single
anthrax vaccine. anthrax bacterine, and
. blackleg serum. The lstter is especi-
ally applicable in herds where the dis
ease has already appeared.
There is an interval of two or three
weeks after cattle have been given The
vaccine before immunity is established,
but the serum gives immediate protec-
tion and this 10 very desirable in herds
