Senator Thomas charged that a similar campaign was carried on among the sugar beet growers with banks and commercial associations, all of which have been adding their letters-to the flood now | pouring in upon the Colorado legis lators. “These companies have made an enormous amount of money, not only upon their capitalization, but upon their overcapitalization,” declared Senator Thomas. “Two of them op- erating n Colorado represent collec- tively a capital of $50,000,000, $v0,. 000,000 of which is water, pure and simple. Yet they have paid div dends constantly upon their preferred stock, and for a large part of the time on their watered stock, and one of them has a surplus in the treasury in excess of $10,000,000. “This fight merely means that these hugely overcapitalized °*industries want to retain their franchise to rob the people by taxing the necessaries of life, to the end that they may pay profits upon the capital that they have invested, and upon the capital they have manufactured with print- ing presses and fountain pens.” Senator Thomas’s ringing chal lenge to the sort of public opinipn these bloated corporations have man- ufactured deserves to be read in the public schools as an example of the new, rugged patriotism which now has control of Congress. He said: “Mr. President, while I have t’ mots profound respect for petitions sent to myself while I am a member of the senate, I want to say here an now, and I think I'speak for my’col- league (Mr. Shafroth) as well as my- self, that I was sent here by the peo- ple of my state, by the producers and consumers, by men and women who are not roganized, who have no lob- by, who are possessed with no great fund to go out through the highway and byways of the state, seeking and obtaining favorable action in their behalf by the great banks and asso- ciations. & “The yare the toilers and the tax- Olcary ~-BowderGo: Bemidji, Minn.

Follower. The “Father of the English Turf,” Mr. George Hodgman, has just dled at the ripe old age of eighty-nine. Be sides his enthusiasm for sport the de- ceased gentleman was noted for his resemblance to the late Mr. Gladstone, and this likeness was once made the occasion_of a practical joke, which had the amusing-sequel of winning for the G. O. M. the_reputation of having an inside knowledge of the doings of the English turf. Mr. Hodgman at the time was traveling in Scotland, .and when passing through Edinburgh his friends for fun passed round the word at Waverly Station that Mr. Gladstone FOR SALE—Rhode Island Reds. 1 was in the train_:- At first incredulou the crowd flocked round Mr. Hodg- man’s carriage, and then, misled per- haps by the dim. light, concluded that the sportsman really was the states- man, and cheered and shouted for & speech. Just as the train moved out, Mr. Hodgman, urged by his friends, thrust his head out of the window, waved his hand; and shouted gaily: “Thank you, gentlemen! So-and-so will win the Cesarewitch!” And as it did, the .sport-loving.

No hnttons, The Almighty Dollar With a Hole In It. We all like to think that our own dollar is sound and worth a 100 cents. If some one tries to pass'a dollar with a hole'in it, or one plugged with lead, we make an emphatic protest. And yet some.of us go along, day by day, letting each of our dollars buy us an average of about 70c apiece. All of which-comes from the un- thrifty American habit of careless spending, or, in other words, buying things in a hurry without thought and consideration. . In a new and bountiful country like ours it is a natural result of too much prosperity. There is, however, a growing class of people who realize that it pays well to think as theybuy. To all such we recommend the advertising pages of THE PIONEER which offer reliable information and suggestion to intend- ing purchasers. .
