IN THAR testimony before the federal

most prominent stock buyers of the
country have expressed themselves un.
qualinedly IN favor Of the public own
ership at stochyards. Depending, as

Ths following extract from tho TO-
timony a MI. r. w. Hou4, Of Kansas
City, is . good example Of tho attitude
of the commission men:
Mr.. Henv-What Is the effect On
production Of these violent fluctuar
tons In the market!
MA Houx- think Il has Q dlsas-
trous effect. Men will come to town
and lose . barrel Of money on cattle
and they can see nc reason why there
should be this violent fluctuations, and
It naturally puts the producer at log
gerheads with the packer, and he goes
back with . bad feeling against them,
and instead Of taking q profit home,
he sometimes has q note in the bank.
Should Cut Out Risk
hi. Henev-With q reduced number
OF cattle In the entire country, with
labor fully occupied and plenty Of
work for every man; with q certainty
that there IL not enough meat to meet
the demand at reasonable prices,
would any producer OF feeder be justi-
ded In assuming that In raising Q sta
pie product like beef, the risk and
speculative element ought to be re-
moved % that he could feel reason
ably certain that II he fattened the
animals he could get paid a fair profit
for his time and expenditures
Nj. H0ux-Absolutely So
Mr.. Heney-Is that the condition,
however?
Mr.. Houx-No, 1t is not. The pro-
Queer is not getting a fair deal out of
this meat business. Somebody is rob-
bling him; I do not know who It is
but the government ought to find out
who it is.
Mr. Heney-That is what we are
trying to do. Do you>think the owner
ship of the stock yards by the big
packers has a tendency to impede COM
petition?
Pry MonopoIists Loose.
Mr.. Houx-That is rather a broad
question, Mr.. Heney, but as an alb
stract principle, it is wrong because
It leads a man into temptation. The
Government should not allow packing
houses to control the stock yards, and

MONEWTRUST TRIES BLUFF.

terest. This corporation can and
should, unless it wants to play
the game for the money trust,
throw it's strength against any
conspiracy Of the money trust.
It can and should supply the
farmers Of North Dakota thru
the North Dakota banks with
sufficient funds to carry on their
essential war industry to take
the place of any credit with
. drawn by the Wall street inter-
ests. Let the government match
every skunk Wall street dollar
without political strings attach
ed. The simple announcement
of such a policy would call the
bluff and give the farmers the
credit needed.
Lack of Funds Means Disaster.
The same letter quoted from
above also states: 1--WE want to
state at this time for your own
information and protection that
we can not promise to renew or
extend any Of your obligations
to this bank which become due
this fall. Money at the present
time is the highest in the his
tory of North Dakota" The
tighter the money the less there
can be Of farm production, for in
farming, like other forms of
business, current production is
carried on very largely by means
of present loans. Withdraw
the loans and you withdraw pro-
duction.
The money trust used to claim
that by Tightening up the mon
ey market it was able to cut
down overproduction as times Of
panic approached and thus made
panics less severe. But can any
American discover a reason why
the money trust should be up to
the old trick of curtailing pro-
duction now when the whole al
lied world is begging us for farm
products and more farm pro-
ducts? If the money trust SIM
ply can not supply the loans,
why does it fight the farm loan
bank and the extension of the
postal savings bank and special
government loans to farmers in
need?
Joined with the loss in pro-
duction through the denial of
credit, is one Of the ugliest of
ugly facts in American finance.
1t is this: When the debtor can
not renew, the creditor takes his
property. Consequently, by an
artificial denial Of credit, the
money trust can force a lot of
good property on the market for
a fraction Of it's value. Being
the only possessors Of ready
money in large amounts, the in
siders in the money trust can
then pick up valuable properties
for a song. That is why big
financiers can become very rich
in a panic when every one else is
losing; that is why a certain big
New York bank could declare a
100 per cent dividend immedi-
ately following the 1907 panic.
Are we going to allow this finan-
cial thuggery to continue in spite
of it's effect on the war?
President Wilson Knows the
Game.
TT is a mere truth to say"
declares President Wilson in his
"New Freedom" page 1876, "that
the financial resources of the
country are not at the command
of those who do not submit to
the direction and domination of
small groups of capitalists who
wish to keep the economic de-
velopment of the country under
their own eye and guidance"

The women of the Bisbee Lily Tenn pie of Pythian Sisters are busy mak- ing preparations to furnish an ambu- lance to De sent Co France from Co., chise county The Pytnian Sisters of Arizona have received word from the grand temple at Tempe, urging them to carry out the work of furnishing and equipping ambulances for the use of the government in the war zone. This work is handled directly by the grand lodge, through the Red Cross. association of Arizona.
 The cooperation of all the Knights of Pythias lodge of the state has been asked and many have responded. Each county is to be represented and the ambulance furnished will receive the name of the county by which it is furnished
 The government prefers Ford ambu- lances to any other and these ambu- lances set up anu equipped ready for use on the battle field, cost S475 each. But since this is a statewide plan and every county is to be represented it is desired that all help to raise S650 so as to be able to place an ambu- lance in France named for each of the fourteen counties of the state The material and labor used to furnish these ambulances will be given by the Pythian Sisters.
 There will also be dance given at the Warren park on election night, September 10, for the ambulance bene- fit and the election returns will be given from thp hand stand diracf from, the Warren district Sutter club head quarters. The women are confident that there will be no diffeculty in se- curing the help of every one. Par ticularly when there are so many pos sibilties of almost any kind of an emergency, it will be comforting to know that ambuiances are being bought, equipped and sent overseas as soon as possible in order to be of ready service to the country.

The functions were all set for their game with the Tenth cavairy team at Fort Huachuca today, but this was necessarily postponed on account of the fact that a great part of the regiment was sent to NOgales the first of the week. They were pre- pared for hard game and are sure that the C. & As have no chance with them.
