It is estimated by cotton men and bank
ers that about 65 per refit of the 1913
cotton crop of this territory has been re

council that those in the employ of the
city must take care of their current
debts.
An extensive sewer system is to be built
at Clayton, the county site of Barbour.
The proposition is to be voted on short

power plant, while the new railroad depot
was only finished recently.
“Sh”
From Neale’s Monthly.
The story sounds familiar, but they
are working it off on Kipling now in
order to demonstrate his ready wit:
“Isn’t it remarkable.” chirped a girl
admirer to the chronicler of Anglo-In
dian life, “that the English language has
so many exceptions in the way of pro
nunciation. Take the word ‘sugar,’ for
instance. Do you know It’s the only word
in our language in which the ‘s' before
*u’ is pronounced ‘sh’?”
“Sure,” Instantly agreed the amiable
author.

BY HARVESTER SUIT
McReynolds Apparently Go
ing the Limit Provided for
in Sherman Law
PERKINS’ VIEW OF
LINKING COMPANIES
Enormous Capital Enables Company
to Do Millions of Export Business
Which Would Otherwise
Be Impossible
ny HOLLAND
New York, November G.—(Special.)
Such extracts from the brief In which
Attorney General McReynolds embodied
t ho reasons for the action taken by the
government to dissolve the International
Harvester company are spoken of here as
raising precisely the Issup which should
have been raised in the earlier litigations
brought in the name of the government
for the dissolution of the Standard Oil
company and the American Tobacco com
pany.
The feeling has always been more or
less entertained in this city that the At
torney General in President Taft's cabi
net. George W. Wickersham, was not
ready to go the full length to which he
might have gone under a technical and
rigid interpretation of the Sherman anti
trust law'. Mr. Wickersham was thought
by some of his friends in this city to have
entertained doubts as to the expediency
of tearing the Standard Oil company and
the American Tobacco company to pieces.
That might have been done through the
appointment of a receiver, but Mr. Wick
ersham evidently dreaded drastic action
of that kind because action by a re
ceiver might result in something like con
fiscation of -property. The strong sup
porters of a rigid interpretation of the
Sherman anti-trust law' did not hesitate
to say that if there were confiscation or
•great depreciation in property values by
reason of the complete dissolution of the
Standard Oil and the American Tobacco
companies that was a penalty which
might properly be imposed upon men who
build up great combinations in violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law.
The dissolutions with which Mr. Wick
ersham’s name as Attorney General is to
be traditionally associated were those of
the Standard Oil company and the Amer
ican Tobacco company. In the brief in
struction of the various organizations
which had been recreated after dissolu
tion as independent organizations, there
developed appreciations of the market
able values of the securities of nearly all
these corporations and there w'ere hand
some remunerations in the form of cash
or marketable securities. This led to
the criticism that everybody had been
benefited by the dissolution excepting the
ultimate consumers of the products of
these companies.
The Great Issue
George W. Perkins, whom Attorney
General McReynolds names as the crea
tor and sponsor of the International Har
j vester company, lias never either in pub
lic addresses or upon the witness stand
or in informal and private conversations
with his friends, dodged the issue pre
sented by the Attorney General in his
brief. This naming of Mr. Perkins in the ;
brief is unusual, perhaps unprecedented.
But it tends to focus the entire conten
tion not only in what Mr. Perkins did, but
also in what the courts shall declare must
be done, if anything, with the great
structure created by Mr. Perkins.
No doubt Mr. Perkins himself would
rather have the issue presented to the
courts as the Attorney General has done
than to have any half way or partially
covered proceedings, such as, according
to public opinion, characterized the dis
solution plans which Attorney General
Wlckersham accepted In conference with
with representatives of the Standard Oil

company and the American Tobacco com
pany.
Mr. Perkins* View
Mr. Perkins has never varied in thought
or in expression from the reasoning in
which he, in his own mind, justified the
creation of the International Harvester
company. He believed that an organiza
tion of that kind represented the inevita
ble operation of modern economic laws.
He justified the organization upon several
grounds—first, that by means of its great
capital and resources it would be able
to institute and perfect large economies
in the manufacture and marketing of
farming implements. In the second place,
he believed that a corporation of this
kind would be able, in a short time, to
obtain pre-eminent position in the mar
kets of the world for the apparatus man
ufactured by the Harvester company.
He believed, in the third place, that a
perfected organization of this sort would,
In obedience to sound business and eco
nomic principles, establish prices which
would be fair both to the manufacturers
and to the consumers.
Mr. Perkins, however, recognized tf*t
a combination of this sort might properly
be regarded as having established at least
a partial monopoly. For this reason he
urged with earnestness and persistence
the establishment of a competent bureau
under the control of the government sim
ilar, ns far as possible, to the interstate
commerce commission which should have
full authority to regulate and supervise
the business methods of the great com’
binations. Government supervision and
regulation were certain, In his view, to
remove any danger which unrestrained
monopoly might create.
The Opposite View
Attorney General McReynolds, appar
ently without going into the economic
questions, stands firmly upon the Slu r
man anti-trust law. lie asserts that this
law was written into the statute boobs
for the purpose of forbidding combina
tions in restraint of tiade and penalizing
those that make combinations of th.it
kind, it is an issue in which Mr. Per
kins and those associated with him
readily join. r
Suppose, then, the supreme court, to
Which tliis litigation presumably will ulti
mately be taken, shall find that the In
ternational Harvester company was or
ganized and is being directed illegally.
Then the question will arise: Will the
courts accept the view of Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds and issue a mandaie
which if obeyed will peifectly and abso
lutely dissolve the International Har
vester company or, the better to secure
that, will they authorize the appoint
ment of a receiver who will be instructed
to tear down and send to the corpora
tion scrap heap the great structure now
known us the International Harvester
company?
A decision of that kind will bring the
matter squarely before the American peo
ple. They will speedily learn, in ease the
Harvester company be torn to tatter's, so
to speak, whether there will be there
after an exportation of American-made
agricultural apparatus of the money val
ue of approximately $i>),000,0fi0 a year.
They will soon have an object lesson
which will enable them to determine
whether or not great combinations of
capital into a single corporation, whether
reasonable or not, and whether based
upon modern economic principles, carry
danger to the American people which far
offsets any possible commercial benefit.
In this city, the brief of thp Attorney
General in the International Harvester
case is looked upon as forecasting the
brief he will make, If he be in office* at
the time, when the case of the United
States Steel corporation for alleged vio
lation of the Sherman law is offered to
the federal courts for their consideration,
and if the courts should deckle that the
Steel corporation was o»gan!zed and is
onerated in defiance of the Sherman ’aw
and should issue mandates for its disso
lution similar to those which Attorney
General McReynolds-asks in the Harves
ter case, then tlie greatest of modern co
operations will be torn to pieces, so that
there can no longer be any allegation
that the steel and Iron industry of the
United States is dominated by large capi
tal and by a single corporation.

His parents ‘gave him strict instruc

After a deal of knocking and hammer
