Two liiillionri will hardly cover the appropriations of this last sesbion What Rpeuial beuufit does the tax payer nci'ive for thi8? COlirOHATION FARMING. Ohganization is the order of the day in every industry. The individual id becoming more and more dependent on the social onanism. E. E. Ewing, writ ing in the (Junntry Gentleman, recom mends "corporation farming" to the tillers of the soil. Since the Bubject of creamery stock cjmpanies is receiving much attention at present in the Wil lamette Valley, what he says ia worthy of consideration, viz. : "Cooperative" farming will not fill the bill. Cooperation is too loose a tie to risk a DTinaiient business with. A dis contented or wrong headed man can spoil the whole businers of a cooperative concern by "kicking over the traces" and demanding to withdraw , bis farm. A corporation is the only strong and sure tie for a joint-stock business. "Unite a dozun, twenty or more farms composing one corporation, by assess ing tho value of each farm and issuing the owner stock in the concern to value of his farm, minus ti is dwelling with yard, garden and the small amount of ground nocessury about the premises, that tho tarmer would keep as a home for bin family. "A board of directors would be elected by the stockh lders, and the samti busi ness routine followed as by all corpora tions. The laud would be laid off in parcels best suited for the different pur pose! or crops for which it was dosigned, fencus torn away and the tract iem,odeled in dividing to suit the plans for future work. The fittest man would be se lected to direct the special business as signed him, so as secure the very ablest management in every department. "Farming is too complicated a busi ness for any one man properly to man age. There is no other business which requires so much sound judgment, tcien title knowledge and method in execution. Thero is no other way to so nire the best results from the farm, except by a com bination of labor, capital and brains, making a specially of each, department of tho busini's, to bo managed by the most competent man for that particular work. There are probably a dozen con ditions, widely differing from each other in the business of farming, and no one man ix c ipuhlo of fullllling the demands of all; no single armor can get all out of his farm that it is capable of produc ing, that a competent business manage mom and stillicient aiea of land could bo made to produce, acre for acre, when Iho product is converted into cash. m utral establishment whore all sthB business 'lls were worked out iiul'sed and fed, and the lured help would relieve the farmer's family of a vast deal of work which under present one-man farming makes drudges of them. The details of such a rural or agricultural corporations can be men 1 tally catalogued by any farmer who has observed tho methods pursued by laige manufacturing establishments. "Thoie are many unavoidable small wastes on a small farm which would not ccur on a large estate, but bo added as prottt to the increased yield made possi ble by intensive farming on largo areas of land. "Tho inlluonco which such a corpora- ti,,,, would exert in public affairs would increase equal to tho square of thodium P'er over tho lulUionce which is exerted l,y the isolated and BoliUry farmer. The subject of comoration farming is of v ist importance, an 1 appeals to tho best thought of advanced farmers. Every 0U,..r business has gone into or been driven into "trusts," and tho farmer will like those in other lines of industry Uvd to follow, or ere long he will find Mmsoll working for a city or town land v.i who is a member of some other .rporation and took his farm for the ' mortgage he held on it. This is tho drift which any man with eyes may see i!i.. ai-hi-v ilrtv " THE PPJtE OF PUBLIC SUP VICE Tiierr is a proposal pending to in creune the salaries of the justices i f the United States supreme court by 60 percent. The chief justice, who now receives $10 500 year, is to got $15,600, and the associates are to receive $15,000 instead of $10,000. The salaries of the circuit judges are alto to be increased from $6,0110 to $9,000, and those of the distr ct judges from $5,000 to $7,500. United States judges usually are able men. At least, it is impossible for them to be absolute idiots. They have to deal with the most important subjects that can come before the American peo ple. It is thought that the best brains of the nation can be obtained for this work for salaries of from $7,500 to $15, 500. We paid Cornelius Vanderbilt over $1,', 00,000 a year for owning certain rail road stocks, and are paying Jiis young son, just out of college, about $1,200,000 a year for the same science. Tnis is more than the combined salaries of the president ami vice-president j of the United Siates, all members of the cab inet, all the i istic.iSof tho supreme court, all the judges of the other United States courts, the lieutenant-general, major- generals and brigadier-generals of the regular army, the admiral and ail the rear-adiiiirnls of the uavy, and tho gov ernors of all the .4iites uii'l toirilories. It seems hardly probable that one inof fensive youth, jiint married at Newport, has more brains than all these func tionaries combined, or renders greater services to the community. But the Vanderbilt case is mild com pared with others. We pai l Mr. Carne gie $25,000,000 a year for running part of the national steel business, and Mr. Rockefeller still more tor managing the oil and many other industries. When ws look at the matter from a social point of yiew, all these payments are simply salaries for performing cer tain public services. The orthodox oc inomi.its h ive justi fled this management on the ground that those payments are necessary to induce men of ability to undertake the work of production. But is that true? Would able men refuse to work if these enormous rewards were reduced? We fail to see any ground for this be lief. Even under present conditions, with all the roflts of business in direct competition, the government has no dif ficulty in securing all the men of ability it wants to doits work for small salaries. vwienA.r, Stewart was making a million dollars a year in the dry goodt business he was willing to give it all up to work as secretary of the treasury for a salary of $8,000. Lincoln carried us through the greatest war in history bearing the bunion of a nation's destiny on his shoulders for four years and fac ing every moment the danger of assasi- nation that dually struck huu down, all for $25,000 a year. It really seeing as if Lincoln's work were as arduous as Mr. Carnegie's, and called for as much abil ity.
