...maintained that lower rates on big shipments would be free lunch for big business. On account of that, able John Lansing Beven, president of Illinois Central, was a pioneer last week. Up the I.C. tracks east of the Mississippi one of his locomotives dragged a 40-car lot of blackstrap molasses (sugar refinery residue) for 15? a cwt., although the car load rate is 17?.

Efforts to put corn, blackstrap molasses, flaxseed and goats into H. R. 13,991 were beaten. Instead of leaving enforcement to each community the bill turned over the whole job to the Secretary of Agriculture and a swarm of Federal Agents whose duty it would be to watch the doings on each & every one of the 6,300,000 U. S. farms. Bounties would not be apportioned by States and then counties, but would be paid...
