MONEY EASING UP

According to Bradstreet, and other
sound sources of information, money
Is beginning to ease up in the east
and the general banking conditions OF
the country have improved materially
in the last few weeks. A report just
issued by the National Bank of Com.
merce points out a number OF factors
that have contributed to help the stu
alton. The mobility of credits is being
restored as the Improvement in trans
portation permits more normal move
ment OF commodities. The downward
trend of prices is a movement toward
greater stability in both the credit
and the general business situation, the
report states, because lit tends to re.

ture, labor will be kept reasonably
employed and manufacturing, CONNER

maintained at a healthy level.

BUYING THE STOCK YARDS

Sioux City Journal-The suggestion
that the live stock growers purchase
the fifteen large stock yards is the
logical course to follow, if it is posi-
Bile to finance the undertaking. AS
Stunning that the stock growers could
fioat the obligation, it is not difficult
to see the advantages of the plan.
Much has been said on both sides
Of the question of the use of the stock
yards to fleece the live stock men.
The majority of them probably be-
lieye they have paid both direct and
indirect tribute to the packers by be-
ing forced to use their property as
the terminal market in which the
packers procured their supply of raw
products. The packers contend that
they have maintained these yards only
as accommodations to their general
packing business and stock
and that they have not used them for
unfair purposes. 1t Is certain the
maintenance of the yards is essential
to the packing business and equally
essential to the live stock business.
Without them, marketing would be
impossible.
The packers have owned them and
their ownership has been a cause
or constant friction and complaint
against them. The court has ordered
the packers to dispose of the yards.
II there is any advantage to the live
stock producers in having control of
these terminal markets they have the
opportunity to acquire the privilege.
III they were owned by the live stock
men they could so regulate their use
shipments which hit a low mar,
ket would not consume the difference
between that market and a better one

market in the door of the pur.

The main advantage would be that

II control Of the meat trust over the
stock growers. The packers
would have to buy in his market in

harges could be such that they would

The people of the whole earth have

ency. extravaganza and secretiveness.
with the national and international
laundering, and with the impudent
assumption of wisdom and righteous
ness beyond human. The only way to
repudiate Wilson is to vote against
Cox.
Finally, Cox is too reckless in state
ment, too shifty in argument. too
much like a man running for little

shout 1t aloud-Cox is too small to be
