CORN GROWERS BUSY.

Already there are signs that
the aDti-rubber monopoly cam
paign in America may bear fruit.
An agitation has spread over the
country for economy in the use
of rubber, especially automobile
tires, and the plans formulated
to put America in the rubber
producing business have re-
ceived wide publicity. At any
rate rubber shares on the Lon
don exchange have evidenced
more signs of nervousness dur
ing the past few days than for
many months
1t is evident that the laws of
supply and demand cannot be
entirely set aside even by mo-
nopoly. And the farmers, too,
are very wisely starting on a
new line. All over the country,
but especially in the corn belt,
there is publicity designed to in
crease the use of corn products.
Farmers, and those who would
like to help the farmers, are be-
ing importuned to buy corn su-
gar, and bills have been intro
duced into both branches of Con
gress to legalize the use of corn I
sugar in canning and preserving. |
These bills, it is understood, are
not opposed by the American
cane and beet sugar interests,
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1926-01-29

The farmer, OF course, does
not want to curtail the supply Of
corn he raises. Neither does he
think that . corn monopoly along
the lines of the rubber monopoly
is feasible. Obviously. then, the
thing to do is to increase the
consumption of corn. The use of
corn sugar is only one way to
Go this, and as the campaign pro-
crosses, doubtless other ways
will be discovered and exploited.
At any rate the step is one in the
right direction. And probably
by the time the plan is well I'M
der way the crisis will be over.
Markets are sensitive thugs and
usually respond pretty well to
movements Of the kiDs.

PRINTING OF GOVERN
MENT ENVELOPES.

The popular theory that the
federal government is averse to
engaging in any enterprise that
completes with private business,
is about TO be given the acid test
through a bill introduced in
Congress by Representative S.
A. Kendall, of Pennsylvania.
The bill provides that the gov
eminent cease printing names
or addresses of individuals, trims
and organizations on stamped
envelopes, a practice that has
for many years deprived the
pr nting houses of the country
Of millions Of dollars worth of
business to which they we're le-
ultimately and and exclusively
entitled. 1T is the only instance
in which the government, ena-
abled by its dominant position,
takes an unfair advantage over a
privately capitalized industry by
manufacturing and selling a
commodity at prices below those
which the latter cannot, of course
meet, The only ,ogical argu
ment that has ever been adj
vanced in supporter the practice
was the certainty provided for
the return of unbelievable mail.
This is met, however, by pro
vision in Mr.. Kendall's bill that
stamped envelopes of the future,
while emitting the name of the
sender, shall bear the printed
name Of the city or town in
which they are offered for sale
at the postoffices. The pur-
chaser need only add his name,
either in whiting or in printing,
the latter affording the printing
trade the opportunity for bust.
ness to which they are entitled.
| Efforts in past years to accom-
plish the purpose of the Kendall
bill have been met by the govern
ment's action in sending out
brief questionnaires to all buyers
of stamped envelopes whose
names were printed thereon,
asking them to state in their re-
plies whether they favored or
opposed continuance OF the gov
ernment's practice. Practically
all such beneficiaries of this cut-
price system answered that they
favored it. These answers would
then be made gnown by the Post
office department to wavering
congressman, and the result was
that the move to alter the law
would fail. Probably the same
old dodge will be tried by the
Pcstoffice department again, but
this time it will meet stronger
opposition. An increasing num-
Der of congressman has taken
cognizance of the fragrant injus-
tice of the governments practice
and they will either compel the
government to restore to the
printing trade the business
which belongs to it or force an
admission of insincerity in the
oft-repeated assertion by federal
Spokesman that there is to be no
meddling in private industries.

PHENOMENAL GROWTH
OF THE BELL SYSTEM

The growth Of the Bell System and
its connections has been nothing short
Of phenomenal beginning with 1875
it took 20 years for the system to
reach 100000 telephones. In 1898, the
year Of the Chicago Worlds Fair. it
had about 100000 and in 1898. when
the war with Spain occurred, it had
about 100000 The second 100000
were reached and passed in 1901,
three years later
In the next three years nearly
100000 stations were added. making
over 100000 in 1904. In the next
three years over 100000 stations
were added and in the three years
following 100000 more. BY 1913,
three years later. the additions were
2.25O.OOO and by 1916 nearly 1850, 900
more. Nearly 100000 were added by
1919 and 100000 by 1922. The gain
in both the years 1928 and 1924
amounted to nearly 100000 each, and
according to the present rate of
growth, the gain in 1925 will be almost
as great. At the beginning of October.
1925. there were 16,4Oo,OOO telephones
in the System. Throughout all this
growth Better Service has been the
wRtchword.
It has required extraordinary fore
sight to keep ahead Of this noteworthy
growth. 1t is said that the Bell off,
oiais and engineers are now planning
for ten, fifteen and twenty years
ahead.
