Secretary Durr further stated that
the Federal Trade Commission inVes
tiGator who called at the local office
declared upon completion of his ex-
animation of the Washington Tp-
pothetae's affairs that there was
nothing in the work of the local or
ganization that was Objectionable to
the Federal Trade Commission.
Mr.. Durr added that the constitu-
tion of the local organization pro-
vides for unrestricted individual ac-
tion of its members in the matter of
selling prices and labor control and
that these provisions are rigidly ad-
hered to.
Accompanying the statement of Mr..
Durr was Another from Judge Ma
than r. Williams of counsel for the
United Typothetae of America con-
cerning the recent action of the COM
mission. Judge Williams questions
the authority Of the commission over
the Typothetae.
THE commission ignored wholly all
questions concerning it's Jurisdiction.
and, by admitting in its finding that
the Typothetae was not a corpora
tion engaged in business for profit,
effectively ousted itself of any legit-
Innate claim to jurisdiction, inasmuch
as the statute under which IL oper-
ateS authorizes II to proceed only
against corporations engaged in inter
state commerce organized to carry on
business for profit" he said.
|. Judge Williams declared the cost
accounting system of United Typothe-
tae of America received the indorse
ment of the commission along with
other systems in August, 1916. The
commission now says that il is
wrong for Typothetae or any other
organization to attempt TO teach
business men by suggesting any uni
form percentage be included in their
selling prices for profit, out of which
profit they must pay taxes to sup
port the commission and save them
selves from bankruptcy" the state
ment said.

CHAPTER v
Think Of II

Ames was an Inspiration. Jim Irwin
received from the great agricultural
college more real education in this one
trip h many students get from a
four years course in Its halls; for he
had spent ten years in getting ready
for the experience. The great farm of
hundreds of acres, all under the man
agement of experts, the beautiful cam
pus, the commodious classrooms and
laboratories, and especially the barns,
the greenhouses, gardens, herds and
fiocks filled him with a sort of apos
tolic joy.
Every school," said he to Professor
Withers, fought to be doing a good
deal of the work you have to do here"
I'll admit" said the professor,
that much of our work in agriculture
is pretty elementary"
Its intermediate school work" said
Jim. Its wrong to force boys and
girls to leave their homes and live in
a college to get SO much of what they
should have before they're ten years
old"
There's something in what you
say" said the professor, but some
experiment station men seem to think
that agriculture in the common schools
will take from the young men and
women the felt need. and therefore the
desire to come to the college"
IF you can't give them anything
hnftar thno hfCh-CnhnOl urArty ~ Sofl
Jim, that will be so; but II the sci
ence and art of agriculture is what l
think II is, it would make them hungry
for the advanced work that really
can't be done at home. To make the
children wait until they're twenty is
to deny them more than half what the
college ought to give them-and make
them pay for what they don't get"
II think you're right" said the pro-
fessor.
"Give us the kind of schools l ask
for" cried Jim, land I'll fill a college
like this in every congressional district
in Iowa, or I'll force you to tear this
down and build larger"
More nearly happy, and rather short
er of money than he had recently been,
Jim journeyed home among the COM
panions from his own neighborhood,
in a frenzy of plans for the future. Mr..
Hefmyer had dropped from his mind,
until Con Bonner, his old enemy, drew
him aside in the vestibule OF the train
and spoke to him in the mysterious
manner peculiar to politicians.
