JULES eoux TO RACE AGAIN

Jules Goux, winner of the 1913 500-miIe race on the Indianapolis speedway, will come to America in April to drive a Peugot car in the 800 mile Liberty sweepstakes, May 31 on the Hoosier oval GouX was the first foreign driver to bring q European creation to America and win the greatest of track races. He came back again in 1914, but tire luck relegated him to fourth place.
 When GouX comes over to drive the Peugeot that the late Johnny Aitken fooled to second place in the 1916 championship of the American auto mobile association, he will be out to
 avenge the defeat of Indianapolis most famous speed king and settle the score of John with Dari0 Resta,, who beat him out of the champion ship on a technical interpretation of the rules of the title contest Goux has a particular interest in Aitkens car for Johnny made him a winner in 1913 when the kjnd-hearted Irishman took charge of the team for Goux and the late Paul Zuccarrell, mapped out the race and managed the pits during the race. Also when war was declared in 1914, Aitken was in Paris a guest of Goux. GouX was un~ decided about coming to America to compete in the race until he was of fered Aitken'S car. Now he is ready and willing to come to settle Johnn's score with Dario Resta.
 GouX went through the entire war with the armies of Francs in an engineers regiment. In the War he lost his teaTfmate, the late Georges Boillot who came over ill 1914 to help Goux train Rene Thomas and the DeLage, but failed when he broke q frame after forcing the pace on the rest of the field for $50 miles, and for his last 100 miles oscillating be tween second and third place.
 Many of the racing fans of France expected GouX to take Andre Buillot, a brother of Georges for q second
 mate this season. However, the Peugeot factory is not ready to put a team in the field this year, but it is prbable that when they send over their latest creations next year, Andre will be sharing the Peugeot honors with Goux.
 The car that Jules will tool in the coming Liberty sweepstakes is one of the feet that the French factory built for tho last grand rriN in 19l4. It is mate to the car that W35 i'm ported for DaIiO Ie5ta and which the
 Italian used to clean up the speed ways during the season of l915- 16. It is one of the two cars imported by i Messrs. Fisher Allison { nd NeWby. owners of the Indianapolis track. ln i the fall of 1915.

everyone is urged to clean up the old gun gather together a lot of buck shot, and then transplant the shct into many crows, keeping, of course, within the Federal and State game laws Every crow killed means a re- duction in the number of pests.
 The extermination of the crow is 8 matter of great importance to the sportsemen as well as the farmer. The havoc wrought in the cornfield is self evident; the depredations on the convoys are noticeable only through results and in many cases the dwind- ling numbers of game girds are caus- ed more often by the voracious crow than by disease.
 It is estimated that insects cause a loss of millions of dollars every year to farmers, truck raisers and fruit growers. The farmers are the pro duces. Whatever loss they sustain affects the consumer. Song birds are the natural enemies of insect life song birds alone can check the raV- ages of insects. Crows destroy birds, birds destroy insects, insects destroy crops-therefore kill the crow and save the crops.
 Approve National Shoot
 No one who has studied the crow has a good word to say for the bird. The feeling is universal that the best thing for the "caw' is a load of shot. Prizes are being offered in every State to those who bag the most crows. Nineteen hundred and nineteen bids fair to be a bad one for the "caws",

ROAD is RIFLED
OF $1,7O0,00O
By this time the rail-
road had gone through
a thorough education in
finance. In. it's first four
years it had been looted
to the extent. of $1,7OO,-
900 by it's directors, Wall
street ope.rat tors and
bankers, by exorbitant
contracts made by indi-
vidual directors for con-
struction work, by pur-
chases of property by the
directors individually and
then resold to the road
at enormous profit, and
by wholly false construc-
tion charges. So COM
pletely had it's assets
been rif1ed that it was
declared necessary for
the road to get a new
land grant of 100000
acres.
This new land
grant, according to
the report of the
president of the road
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-09-15

at the sixth annual meeting, cost the road
$1,0oO,O0c. Coles Bashford governor, accord
ing to subsequent report of Wisconsin leg
islative Investigating committee, got $4,000
in bonds, some of the senators got from $4,000
to $4,000 each, and assorted assemblymen
brought an average price of $4,000. But the
road got its land grant, later appraised at
something over $17, ,O0O,O ,OOO In addition, the
legislature had passed laws exempting the road
from taxation and exempting the granted lands
from taxation for 10 years. by which time the
railroad would have chance to sell them or
strip them of timber.
In spite of this enormous gift it took the Wall
street pirates only year to loot it again. In 1857
the road went bankrupt. At this stage there ap-
peared upon the scene Russell Sage who held the
majority of the bonds which the roads had issued
With him he brought methods which had been
working with the greatest success in the East Sage
was rising fnancier. He first appeared in the
public records in suit brought by two of his for
mer partners, who charged that Sage had connived
with Milwaukee man, who later became United
States senator, to swndle them out of money which
they had helped him take away from another group
Later Mr.. Sage appeared in congress and helped
vote on the 30 land grants referred to previously
With control of the bonds, Mr.. Sage threw the
Milwaukee into bankruptcy, reorganized it as the
Milwaukee & Minnesota Railroad company and re-
pudiated all debts of the parent road Then, by
devious means, the Milwaukee & Horizon railroad
was absorbed and the road started to grow into a
great railroad system,
Within the last 10 years the Milwaukee has
pushed it's lines to the Pacific coast. New capital
was interested for this purpose. The financial
groups now interested may be classified as the
Rockefeller group the Rockefeller family owning
large portion of the roads securities the Chicago
packers, represented on the board of directors by
). Odgen Armour, and the Montana interests head
ed by the Anaconda Copper Mining company.
In extending its road through the West the Mil
waukee decided to electrify it's lines in Montana,
Idaho and Washington. For this purpose it bought
power from the Montana Power company, which
was organized by Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany interests and of which John D. Ryan is presi

on the construction of a railroad in the Olympic
peninsula. The road was constructed during the
war Tor the announced purpose of getting out
spruce for airplane construction. Instead of build
ing temporary logging road, which could have
been done economically in few months thus en-
abllng the government to get out Immediately the
TIMBER 1t needed millions more were spent in con-
structlng permanent line to connect with the Mil
waukee and later be bid in at low sum bv that
system, as it would be of no use to any one else.
Because Of these tactics the new line failed to
get out spruce timber needed by the government
during the war. The greed for money on the part
OF the men who planned this line prevented the
United States from protecting it's troops properly
with airplanes Not American-built bombing
or fighting plane reached the battlefront Lack of
this protection, it is admitted cost the lives of
thousands of American soldiers in the Argonne
forest.
John D. Ryan, president of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company and in charge of aircraft produc-
tion for the United States government, is named
by the congressional committee as the man re-
sponslbe for the startling steal that is alleged
Ryans corporations have been engaged in a bit
ter fight against the Nonpartsan league in Mon
tana and the copper trust newspaper organs have
been charging League farmers with disloyaltv be-
cause they objected to just such tactics as RYAN
has used 49,.
The history of the Milwaukee railroad is full of
graft from the beginning. When the road was in
it's childhood it was known as the La Crosse e.
Milwaukee. 1t began nowhere and went in the
same direction for few miles, When the Wis
consin legislature granted it charter in 1852 it
also granted the road many thousands of acres of
public lands. In 1856 it received one of 80 land
grants from congress. An investigation the next
year showed that bribery had been used to accom-
plsh this result The findings are included in a
congressional document entitled, Report of Select

is more expensive to produce. In other words, the

RYAN MADE HEAD OF ..
AMERICAN RED CROSS ..,..>.-@ 81
When the United States entered the war John D.
Ryan, president of the Anaconda Copper Mining
company and of the Montana Power company, was
first named head Of the American Red Cross and
later was put in charge Of aircraft production.
Meanwhile the Milwaukee railroad had laid am
bilious plans to exploit the Olympic peninsula,
which lies between Puget sound and the Pacific
ocean, It includes thousands of sections of virgin
timber, much of which had been grabbed by ind-
vidual directors and officials Of the Milwaukee, who
knew of plans for invading the peninsula
Secretary of War Baker approved plans for a
15-mile railroad, designed to tap big spruce for
ests in the Olympic peninsula. This line could have
been built at cost of $50O,OOO It is doubtful
whether even this would have been necessary, as
the congressional investigating committee believes
that existing roads could have handled all the
spruce that possibly could have been cut.
However, the 15-mile road would have been
of comparatively little use to the Milwaukee
system. Instead 56-mile road was built
over the mountains, in another direction, which
would serve as important link in the Mil
waukee system IN invading the peninsula. This
line cost 81, 100000. The report of the congress
sional investigating committee says:
milwaukee railroad officials and Milwaukee en-
gneers apparently controlled the location and de-
termination of the road that has been built. The
route is not that approved by the chief signal Of
fcer or the secretary of war; and cost eight times
as much as the maximum estimate for building
15-mile road to tidewater at Clalam bay.
