WOODLAND, June 14.—The scarcity of men who will work in the harvest field has become a serious problem for the farmers. There have been many inqpiries to-day, but there are but few idle men in the county. There will be much difficul- ty in getting reliable help to harvest the crops. Where heretofore a great many idle men found their way from San Fran- cisco and other big cities into the country about harvest time, the farmers this year have been compelled to rely upon labor- ers who make their homes in the country the year around. R Employment for Whites. WOODLAND, June 14.—The rumor that the fruit crop of the Yolo orchard has been sold on the trees is not true. Some canning stock and also some fruit for Eastern shipment have already been con- tracted for, but the company will handle the crop and prepare it for shipment. The report that but little white help would be needed in the orchard this sea- son seems to be equally unfounded. More help probably will be needed than ever before, and where it is possible to obtain reliable help it will be given the prefer- ence. Tmplres. ‘Will Run No Excursions.

The existing bill and the preced- ing ones have been the occasion for the forma- tion of 4ll the large trusts, with very few ex- he ordinate’ protection to all the interests of sugar refining excepted. Jconomic vantages incident to the consolidation of I interests in the same line of business are great incentive to their formation, but th bear a very insignificant proportion to the ad- vantages granted In the way of protection un- der the customs tariff. . ““There probably is not an industry that re- quires a protection of more than 10 per cent ad valorem, and it is to obtain what is provided over such percentage in the tariff that leads to the formation of what are commonly spoken of as-‘trusts “With a protection to an industry not ex- ceeding 10 per cent, all menace to the com- Thi munity of trusts would cease 10 per cent ductioniand likewise act as a_protection against surplus products of foreign countries being dumped in our local markets, thereby interfering with the regular and economic working of our industries.

What the sugar company has disbursed in divi- dends has been not because of any extreme protection under the tariff, but out of condi- tions perfectly legitimate 'and commendable. The record shows conclusively that no advan- tage has ever been taken by the company of in sugar_rel of truth—utter] any protection in excess of the 8 per cent Claimed, that is, 1.4 cents per pound, under the tariff. ““Tariff laws should not afford protection ex- ceeding 10 per cent to any industry, so that, frrespective of the form of doing busines, in- dividual or corporation, the people, that is, the consumer, would be protected. "As the taritt Jaws are and have been it is the consumer, that is the great mass of the people, who has torribly suffered to the great advantage of the few of the business community. “The sugar company undoubtedly tries its utmost to enlarge its business, but does it in a way which it considers the only proper one, that is, by making the price so low as to defy competition. “It s my opinion that corporations are under no obligation whatever to any of the States for their existence. Quite the reverse; the States are under obligations to them. If the plants of the industries consolidhted were capable of being put on wheels and moved from State to State, you would find very active bidding for them. ‘It is not an unusual thing for certain® localities to guarantee free taxation for twenty years; free water and in some instances, give ihe land to corporations to have them organi under their statutes and locate in their State *‘Hostility to capital meets with its own con- demnation. That is illustrated by the situa- tion in New York, where a discrimination against capital has prevented its employment and driven it elsewhere, resulting in a greatly increased tax rate and ‘a tendency to increase the number of unemployed. ““All 1 have to say about trade organizations and strikes is that, without violence, they are natural, They have one objection,’ however, thelr tendency to reduce all labor to & low level. Business is not philanthropy. Capital and labor will adjust thelr own relations if they are Tet alone. Interference always Operates agalnst one or the other. That means to the disad- vantage of both. There s no such thing as monopoly In these days except that which re- sults from patents and copyrights. “The true ‘communism of pelf’ is the cus- toms tariff bill. It says to the people: ‘Here is the law we have enacted for vour robbery. Do not complain of it, but do your utmost to attack and injure the machinery engaged in extracting from you what we legislate shall be taken from you. Keep up the clatter while the voters on the tariff bill take advantage of the noise and enact laws that cause your im- poverishment and thus contribute to the greed and avarice of the few.’ “There is a prevailing hostility to wealth. This s perfectly illogical. Every one wani money. It s the abuse of money, not its pos gession, which is opposed to public interest. This hostility finds its outlet in hostile legls- lation, in unequal and unjust taxation. All this is probably unconstitutional. It is di- rectly against the interest of the very class— I mean the poorer class—whom it is supposed to benefit. “‘Corporations, whether directly such or in the form of trusts, are an expedient for unit- ing the interest of a large number of per- sons of smaller means_Into a large aggrega- tion of capital. Attack upon them is, there- fore, an attack upon their stockholders. In the case of many well-conducted corporations the stockholders are very numerous and are often persons of moderate means, dependent upon their income for thelr support. “In the absence of all disturbing causes the direct tendency of a combination of capital is to promote economy, reduce expenses and di- minish price. This does not mean that & per- son_having anything to sell will not get for it the largest price that he can. It means that with the abundance of capital ready for investment, which is always found _every- where, the only way to prevent competition is to keep prices below the competitive point. ““Great public improvements, factorles and other enterprises requiring large capital either but the condition of Mrs. Summers is re- ported to be very serious. 5eclded to run no excursion trains on that ay. are impossible unless through the instrumen- tality of corporations or: are possible only H. 0.

It is easy to see what, In the latter cage, would happen to the community. “One form in which hostile action manifests itself is by legislation which is intended to keep corporations and their products out of particular States. This legislation in some States takes the form of bills which permit citizens to buy goods and with impunity refuse to pay for them. This i8 a premium on dishopesty. In other States the attempt is to exclude articles which are of prime necessity. If the producers of such articles were to follo the lead and to combine to keep their com- modities out of the State it js easy to see what would result, i. e., either the people would be compelled would be forced to pay an inordinate price. “Trade will always take care of itself if it is left to pursue ordinary channels. A will see to it that B does not have any extra nary advantages. It is only when the State interferes a situation is created of which an advantage can be taken against the interest of the community. ““In these days there are two forms and only two forms of monopoly. One, that which re sults {rom a patent and copyrights. It is uni- versally recognized that this is in the interest, not against the interest of the public. The other, that which comes from. unfair tariff | discrimination. ariff for revenue need not be considered. The expenses of the Government must of course be provided for. Tariff for the purpose of equalizing against foreign bountles or foreign discrimination does not need to be justified. Beyond that there is no excuse for giving to one industry a protection of 100 per cent, as against 4 per cent for another, or any more than 10 per cent. The result is that the Gov- ernment fleeces the community at large in the Interest of some favored industry. It must be kept in mind that this i a rich country, not a poor country. It must be kept in mind that the object of every one is to make the cour wealth more tant, more The hostile action to which I referred, leg- islation against ¢ ons, if followed to its legitimate results, make the country less powerful, fts people less prosperous, and would lestroy the influence which comes from the richness of the land and its people. “Citizens are divided into two classes—indus- tri 1 those who wish to live on the in- dustry of others. It is they who are without apital, who are hostile to it. This is only another mode of stating the obvious proposi- | tion that it is those who are without means who wish to have it without work Mr. Havemeyer's statement aroused great interest, and the next three hours were de- | voted to “answering questions asked him in rapid succession by the members of the com- mittee. He made an incidental statement which the committee construed Into an ad- mission that the business was not profitable | now. The witness confessed that his company had very little regard for the welfare of ri in business, saying that prestige, ability, perience and wealth would win in the long run in the struggle, and tAgt trusts were an example of the survival of the fittest in busi- ness. “That is trade,”” he said, you realize it and quit trylfg to control it by Federal legislation the better for all. A man cannot expect to have himself continually wet- nursed by the Government. If men do not want 1o buy our stocks, they need not. They don't need Government 'protection. and get stuck let them get out, and If they wish wade in again their affair, not ours.” He declared that the tariff enabled the steel rail trust to mulct the public to the extent QL do ber ton, and said incidentally that Mr e had not yet stated what he was 4 to do with his money ; e On the question of labor Mr. Havemeyer said P the laboring element were forced to form or- | ganizations, but that in doing o they sacrificed much independence and the unions had the effect of bringing other men down to a low level. He contended that he was a friend of fabor and sald that good men in the employ of the trust were paid 10 per cent more than they could get elsewhere. Mr. Havemeyer said that many things were done in business which looked cold-blooded and harsh, but that business conditions often re- quired conduct justifying such characteriza- tion. The farmers, he thought, ought to e tablish & trust for their protection. He de- clared that his company had not gome into ;n(:?hln'}{mn;'ln;‘ any n}l’l the independent re- es.

After that hour no trace of the missing man was ever found. He seemed to have dropped from the face of the earth. The police depart- ment of Chicago made an extensive in- vestigation of the case, but was utterly baffled. Various theories were ad- vanced about the disappearance, some contending that he was not murdered, but for some known reason purposel\; disappeared, deserting his family. The consensus of opinion is that Hanchette had been made away with by thugs and his body disposed of by dumping it into the lake. There were periodical reviyals of the story, brought about by reports that Hanchette had been seen in varfous places. Hanchette had an honorable career both in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Before coming to this city he had been well known as a newspaper man in San Francisco, and later, coming to Los Angeles, became city editor of the Herald, which posi- tion he filled until elected secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. “When Hanchette was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce he was as fine a man as there was in town,” said Secretary Wiggins to-night. “The most generally believed theory in regard to Hanchette's disappearance is that he was held up in Chicago and killed. There was not a suggestion of dishon- esty about the case. His books were all checked up after he had disappeared and everything was found to be straight.” = Marysville Graduates.

Sl Specfal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 14.—C. P. Hunting- ton sends the following to the editor of the Herald: me one has sent a clipping from the Herald of May 15-on the subject of my remarks de- | livered in San Francisco at a dinner given by myself to the heads of departments of the Southern Pacific Company. Pica headlines quote me as saying that “‘Education is Amer- ica’s Bane.” Below this headline, in the body ? the artlcle, you quote correctly the words hat I said, and they do mot at all bear out his_headline, which certainly does me an in- | justice, as I neither said, Intimated nor thought education was America’s bane; and it geems to | me the Herald should not have printed the | headline, or else it should not have printed the | words 1/did actually say, as the latter in no sense confirm the former. I should not have moticed it had it not ap- peared In a great dally like the Herald, which, | T feel quite sure, does not desire to put into any one's mouth a statement which he not only did not make, but which discredits his com- mon sense. Yours very truly, C. P. HUNTINGTON. Here is what Huntington said in the | speech which he admits was cBrrectly | auoted in the New York Herald—the Her- | ald getting its report from The Call. If the | words he uses do not indicate his bellef | that “‘education is' America’s bane,” what | do they mean? 1. regret one tendency in our country, ad- mirable as are her institutions. It is almost | heresy to say it, but I do not mind taking the | regponsibility, for that is one of the things I am used to. I refer to the increase of the higher education for the masses. The Anglo- Saxon has easily outstripped all his competi- tore in those things which make for the com- mercial growth and success of nations, be- cause he has been, above all other things, prac- tical. While the preparation for professional | lite requires advanced knowledge, it seems to | me that the vast majority of our young people | spend too many of their vigorous years of youth | inside the schoolroom and not enough in the | practical work of life. The years from fifteen | to twenty-one are immensely valuable, for they | are the years of keen observation, individuali and confidence. In many cases—quite too man. i | | | | | they are spent in cramming the mind with knowledge that is not likely to help a young man in the work he is best fitted to do. How ng men with college educations are bout waliting for something that will because the work that lies nearest at hand is not to their liking?

The fruit grow- ers themselves were the capitalists, and not the shipping concerns nor the Eastern capitalists. All that was needed was or- ganization. The horticultural business of the State was greater, he said, than that of any other State, and counted far into the mii- llons and was steadily growing. Cr¢ a- ering this, it was foolish to think the fruit growers could not be independent if they wished.
