JUST._................. ............... ...................... Edor M.KELLEY................................................................. Cty Edilor FRIDAY, MARCII 19, 1909.1 p my mlrepresentation and exaggerated staternents of ita cent certain ln- 'dlvkiuala are arousing among farmers and land owners ln the Skokie district, a conalderable opposition to the proposed drainage canal, whuch if built will rsclaim thousanda of acres of now useless land and enhance by hundreds of theusands of dollars the value of farrnsin the territory aforesaid. * Arnong the progressive and publie spirited land owners la a desire for this tit rat improvement and they view with alarm the obstructive mnethoda of a low 111 advlsed citîzens who hope to delay and possibly prevent conaumrmation of the realizatian of years of desire and plans for redeerning the valueles acreage ln the Skokie valey. Irrigation ditches and drainage canais are modern and generally accepted Inovatlons which have enriched land owners two fold in the territories where they have been builî. They are no experimerrt and there sa no gond reason for opposition ta the great Skokie ditch. !If the former@ affected are wise they will '1push it along" rather than tend their influence te obstructive measures. Ita complelian means dollars te them. Although the Invecstigation hy Judge McPherson led hlm te the conclusion,k tiret the two cent rate in Mssouri was confiscatory, Itiflot te te taken for granted that Illinoils Is te ]ose its two cent rate on the saine grouod. It la mîst as necessary that justice and fair play ho extended the public, as It la that these things be taken loto onrsideration ln hehalf of the rallroad ad that the two cent rate law ltavtog been enacted, the whole subject should now bec creful lnvesllgated hefore the question ot change la serlously con- sidored. Every state misst be Jîîdged on the showIng of business and because Inquiry revealed that Mssouri rallroads coulil îot ntake adequate returnoOn thre Investntent it la îlot proved that Illinois roads caîteot ilîrate stîccessfully natter such a ieasreand malte money. There are a gond many things to he taken int cottalderation lut tuch an luquiry. The satî should unitho deprived ot a two cent rate because a road con flot malte a six per cent dlvldeod on mIllions et dollars worth of stock t4t la puro fiction. One of the firat titinga necessary in an adequate lnqulry abould be wirat the honeat valuation la, upon which lit la expeoctefi te make a dlvideftd. Anotlter thing te hoe remembered la that tire trial Just madle of the two cent rate was durlng a Urne of great llnancial depregalon. Thre busineaa of the country and of the railroada la now on thre up-grade and tlfla wlll be a favorable factor on the aide of the puhlie ln consldering thre question et Iliij noeand other sates. Th. constantly growing uses of corn and conssquent demands on the Frop in thre preparatory stages of humain food, especlally ln growing livestock, have begun ta, croate a certain embarrasement about the practicability of koepîng up with the futurs demande. t la truc that It ia possible te make much toatiler yielde by th. methoda whlch hava been worked out at the ex- poriment stations, and that will eventually corne about; but lt takes tmre Vins, ta Introducre and secure the effecta of a radical change ln methoda like that. The ifficulty which confronte the agricuitural world juat now je that the high prices have tempted growers ta keep their land season after seasan n corn at the expense of that rotation of crops necessary ta mainitain the fertllity of the sali. The yielding capacity of the land sa beginning ta suffer. The alarrn le going out that the corn producing ares must te ahifted. As a matter of tact every avallable acre has been put int corn and kept in corn under the temptation of the high pricea; and there ae na room for bringing the new areas inta use. They are already in use. Hence the only recourse sa that of apreading the gospel of btler methode of culture from the experiment sta- tiens. This as a slow process, but itles already at work. This ls primarily an agricultural question; but it s one in which the reat of thc world has a practicai interest. There can be no iow cost in prices of the best meata with the present consumptive demand keeping close up te the largest possible corn auppiy, and maintalnisg prices of the later at a high level. High beef, high port and high mutton for the well flnished product eare inevitable when that crop sa belng consumed faster than it can be raised, go te apeak. When torma Ilke that of inauguration day tie up thc counitrys tclegraph service we begin to appreciate that the great means of communication of the twentleth century tg by no means perfect The capitol cty of the United States, on fire witli exciternent and enthusiasrn, the center of a nations in- terest, is cut off almoat completcly frorn the reat of the world.

The telegraph compariea would mlot, it appeara, te losera ini tht long run. The colt of tie change would be very great, but lie aaving in expensea would1 begin at once. Telegraph potes, which mut conatantly bc rcplaced, are be- coaelng mort and more cntly. Necesaary repaira along aubterranean lines would be reduced te a minimum. There would neyer be serions losa of buai- ness resuiting froîn alarma or blizzards. And the public would be asaured that tne telegraph sa infalliabte.
