the cold facts, as spectators, not farm
ers, are buying this land, and they are
poor farmers. These spectators are
land crazy, and are buying these high
priced lands on very narrow margins,
which makes it as dangerous as the
board of trade, or any other high class
gambling. Farmers here are on a
different basis. While hard at first, the
farmer who chooses a good piece of
land, and sticks to it, finds that he has
home of his own. and no Speculation
can order him to move or pay more rent
than the productivity of the land will
warrant Then when it comes to 500
per acre values, Rusk county cleared
land will come nearer paying out with
clover or potatoes, than Iowa can ever
do with corn Think twice before you
let go Of a farm in this country.
George Hartman. who came here last
Pepper farm, is good farmer and be-
lieves in having things kept up on his
place. He has painted his big barn red
and his house white, which is a COM
bination that is admired by everyone,
and is hard to improve on.
Fred Carmain has some of the best
crops on his farm this year that were
ever raised there. Mr. Carmain be-
lieyes in spreading the fertilizer and
his farm surely shows it. He is well
up toward the top when it comes to
growing truck crops.

Warfeld Plan
Sponsors Reply
To Jud ge Lovett
Counsel of National Associa-
ton of Owners of Rail-
road Securities Take Issue
With Union Pacific Head

Forney Johnston, representing the
National Association of Owners of
Railroad Securities, has written a let
ter to S. Davies Warfeld, president. of
the organization, taking vigorous ex-
ception to the views of Judge Robert
S. Lovett on the problem of railroad
control and characterizing his state
ments as inaccurate.
Judge Lovett, who is head of the
Union Pacific system, recently came out
in opposition to the so-called Warfield
plan for the control of the roads. de-
claring among other things that the
plan sponsored by the president of the
National Association of Owners of
Railroad Securities would take earn
ings from the strong roads and give
them to the weak. He also expressed
the belief that the principal provision
OF the Warfeld plan for a fixed per-
centage rate of return on property in
vestment in the railroads and the tax
ing of any excess by the government
for transportation purposes was un-
constitutional.
Judge Lovett's pamphlet begins with
the erroneous assumption" says Mr..
Johnston, "that the proposal for excess
earnings regulation is for the sole pur-
pose Of aiding weak roads at the ex-
pense and out of the treasures of the
strong or prosperous roads. The as
sociation's proposal is that the revenue
derived by weak roads and by the
prosperous roads shall be derived
from rates and not from a pooling and
redistribution of their earnings Earn
lngs are to be restricted to the extent
that they prove excessive and unneces-
sary, not in order to give them to the
weak roads, but to permit some meas
urable relief to transportation as a
whole through the adjustment upward
of rates when necessary.
1.-The Lovett pamphlet asserts that
the traffic congestion of 1917-191S did
not occur on the so-called weak roads,
but on the prosperous roads, which had
been prevented by infeXible regulation
or declining rates from securing the
capital necessary to provide adequate
facilities. More than two thirds of the
| mileage of the United States must nee
essarily be included within the class
condemned as weak roads, so that
statement Of the pamphlet cannot pos
sibly be accurate.
1.-The unsoundness of the position
taken BY Judge Lovett will be under
stood when it is realized that the weak
railroads which earned less than per
cent during the period 1915-1916-1917,
and which, accordingly would derive
the full benefit of any lift in rate levels
under the plan, comprised 119 out of
the 1862 systems, Glass One railroads
| IN the United States, operating a total
f. OF more than 100000 miles or more
tnan two.thlrds of the 254,000 miles of
railroad in 1916"
Judge Lovett contended that the
Warfield plan was confiscatorv and nm.
constitutional. Mr. Johnston saw,
there is nothing for charge of con.
fiscation to hang upon because the
only right of which the protesting
carrier will be deprived is the right
to excessive return, which is no right
at all.

Profit Sharing iIas Been
Practised in u. S. for Years

Profit sharing has been used in vari-
Gus forms since at least 1929, being
most active in the last forty years.
Pioneers in profit sharing, such as
Lever Brothers, of Port Sunlight, Eng
land, and Cambridge, Mass; N. 0. Nell
son Manufacturing Company of the
model town of Leclaire, near St. Louis,
Mo-; Proctor & Gamble, of Ivorydale,
o., and numerous other smaller or less
known companies have operated on the
profit sharing plan successfully for
over quarter OF century.
AS with many other fundamental and
social movements, profit sharing clearly
came from the old countries, for one
Of the first successful profit-sharing
plans in the United States was founded
in Leclaire, Ill.,, after the father of
profit sharing" Monsieur eLclaire, of
Malson eLclaire, Paris.
There are many notifications of
profit sharing, as laid down in one of
the complete and fundamental discus
sions Of the subject, printed some forty
years ago, and it is we'll to have in
mind the ditferentiations of the true
profit sharing and it's various offshoots

LONDON, Aug. "a concerted at
tack on Sir Auckland Geddes is soon
to be made, both in and out of Parlia-
ment, in an attempt to compel disclos-
ure of the contents of the famous
sealed box upon which Americas trade
with England depends.
Before the coming of the Parliament
tary recess the free trade Liberals in
tend to force debate on the embargo
question, contending that the president
of the Board of Trade has no legal
right to-prevent the importation of for
eign goods. One of Engand's fore
most lawyers has been consulted about
bringing test case on the legal as
poets. The enemies of the govern
ment contend that "the statute of mo-
nopolies," enacted in the reign of
James |. suppressing Grown grants of
exclusive rights to trade in certain
articles makes Sir Auckland's EN-
barge illegal.
The sealed box is supposed to contain
the governments future tariff policy
Many believe that the policy merely
consists of excluding imports while the
sterling exchange rate continues un-
favorable.
The box is believed to contain an
outline of fiscal policy, though the
Cabinet is not thought to be in entire
agreement on the policy.
A well-informed American has been
asked by the government whether the
lifting of the embargo would be likely
to divert any great quantity of Amer
lean goods from other continental mar
kets to this country. England at pres
ent possesses no surplus Of manuiac-
tured goods, but if certain articles
were to be imported English wares

Move to Stabilize
Prices of Lumber
Some Mills Announce They Will
Not Make Further Price Adj
yances for Three Months


ST. LOUIS, Aug. 3.-Three of the
largest manufacturers of Northern pine
and one of Western pine have an
nounced that they will not make any
further advances on tho products Of
their mills for the next three months
in order to exert n stabilizing in1u-
ence on the lumber market, says
lumber" to-day in it's weekly re-
view Of trade conditions. The an
nouncement, jointly signed by the four
mills, mentions the activity Of the
speculative element in the market and
says; w. fee, that the present prices for
most items of common lumber, as per
list of July II, are entirely justified
by existing costs of production and
are in line with other commodity
values, but that there are not now
and are not likely to be in the future
any good reasons for further advances
in the price of lumber"
In commenting on the gradual sta
bilizing of prices in the industry
Lumber" says:
"Reports from the Southern pine
section indicate that the example of
one of the largest of the manufacture
a list good for thirty days is being
generally emulatcd, and from some
of the distributing centres comes in
formation that stability Of prices is
becoming more and more an accom-
plished fact. From all of which it
seems that the end Of rapidly ad-
vancing quotations has about been
reached. and that values will hold
near present figures for some time to
come. There were upward fuctua-
tions last week, but not Of a general
nature, nor is the demand from the
rural yards and sections as great now
as it was three or four weeks ago"

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-The renewed heavy
depreciation Of the German exchange
cussed with grave concern here.
number of causes are assigned by Ber-
lin bankers for the movement. Chief
of them is the heavy importation of
foreign goods into the occupied areas
a movement which the German govern
ment is unable to halt--which takes
out of the country Reichsbank notes in
big packages. 1t is asserted that Hol-
land alone holds 6,000,000,O0 marks
(S1,500,0 ,000) in such notes.
The second cause for the depression
is partly the outgrowth Of the first.
The recent announcement by the Ber-
lin government that it plans to cali in
and stamp all bank notes to catch tax
dodgers has induced holders Of these
securities abroad to unload them.
Moreover, enormous quantities of the
bank notes have been sent abroad by
the tax dodgers who, frightened. by the
governments threat, are exchanging
their notes for foreign moneys or buy

the stream of notes returning to Ger
many and helping to depress the ex-
change rate.
No factor in the international situa-
ton has yet developed to offer hope for
Improvement. The only possibility is
that England and America will lend
hand.
In this connection attention has been
drawn here to the more or less vague
reports that American fnanciers are
discussing plans to stabilize the value
of the mark. A serious organ like
"Die Boersen Zeitung" regards the
rumor as a certainty, in the belief that
American financiers and captains of
industry are seriously contemplating
such stabilizing effort as measure
toward nursing the German market for
American manufactures.
