Mr. But !-r mailn an earn out and effective plea for the farmers of Nchraftfca to Join force In a determined effort to secure ade quate protection and preservation of their Interests against the encroachments of the elevatcr trust, the grain tnn's enrnblnatlon and the railroads. He Impressed the Im perative necessity of cheaper rates, better shipping facilities and last, elevators owned and operated by the farmer himself. Let the farmer be the" producer and aeller ef his own grain id then he can reap the profit, was the burden of his plna. Discussing the Farmers' Co-operative Shipping association, Mr. Hoffman said: Jt will be Incorporated jnder the laws of Knnms with an authorised capital of tW.f. divided Into 2n,(i shares of 110 eRch. It will build or buy elevators In Kansaa and adjoining states and territories to buy grain directly from the farmers and aell to the best markets, I dividing profits among the stockholders In the way of dividends: upon the stock and premiums upon the grain bought from or sold to stockholders. Stocks will receive t per cent dividends from the net earnings after pnlng such amounts as a wise and con servative, policy may dictate into the re serve und betterment fund. The balance of the net earnings will be divided among the patrons of the association who are stockholders. The man who ships 6,ti) t.tif-hrls of grain through the aoclation will receive five times as much premiums on grain aa the shipper of I,"' bushels, provided he holds a proportionate amount of stock. The exact method of making these divisions cannot now be given. Those detnll will be arranged by the. board of directors. ' He Endorsement of Lease Dill. Had the legislature remained In session this afternoon Governor' Mickey would bave transmitted to It a communication on the Dietrich land-leasing; bill, now pending before the national congress. He will transmit the document tomorrow. This comes from the governor's own office. It Is pretty well understood that the gov ernor will not mr.ke any favorable- recom mendations' for this bill. He will nof. It is understood, ask the lcflslature to memori alize, congress to pass the bill, as he has been "petitioned to do by the Nebraska del egation In the national -botrse and senate. His action, therefore,-" It Is safe to predict, will be satisfactory to the stockmen of this state who have exerted their energies to defeat this bill. Here Is a little siHVoquy which took place thla morning In Wwi -cloakroom 'adjoining representative ball .'between two members of the house,- which may be taken aa a fair Index of the sentiment' In that body on this bill as near aa It baa been possi ble to ootain It; "Well. I see bv the morning papers that Secretary Htlchoock has recommended the passage -by congress of the Dietrich bill.' "Why, certainly: why shouldn't ha want his own treasure to pass? But the secre tary of the Interior must not think that hla ideas or wishes' constitute any criterion for tha people or the Iegisltauro. of the state of Nebraska, where the working out bt the bill, should if ba enacted Into law, would take place." ,'.", ,- Look Into Printing.

In the course of his remarks Colonel McClay quoted the state auditor's report to ahow that the assessment folia of Nebraska bad undergone a reduction in amount . of 815,000,000 and urged the necessity of prompt action. Jonea of Otoe was opposed to adopting ' the resolution as he considered It nntiece- eary, the houee already being on record as favoring revenue revision. This brought to his feet Sweezy of Adams, who forcibly declared that the. boose was confronted by this Imperative - duty and should meet It honestly and fearlessly.

CHICAGO. Jan. 22'. At today's meeting of - the Interstate 'Commerce' commission A. - B. Btlckney, president of the Great Western, appeared to defend his aetlon In making la' seven-year contract with the big pocker on the basis ot greatly reduced rates. Mr. Stlckney'e dc-fense was coupled with ah' attack' upon the Chicago Live Stock ex change and MS competitors, classing the former 'as barnacles and the latter as Ori ental savages. . ' In bis criticism of tbe Chicago Live Stock association he declared ' that company; whose j assets were tew chairs and an office -desk, collected commissions during 1901 amounting to 13,151,000 against an In come of 22,451, 256 received by the Union Stock Yards company: Tbeso commissions amounted to over 40 per cent of the total freight charges upon the stock brought into ' Chicago. Mr. Tomlinson of the exchange showed that the commissions collected amounted to 22.154.286, - while the freight charges were $14,263,400, about IS per cent Instead ot 40. In speaking of the 20 per cent con tract packing house rate made by the Great Western, Mr. Btlckney declared that aa soon aa It became known three of his com petitors, in order to wreck a sort ot Ori ental vengeance, made a 12-cent rate on livestock between tbe Missouri river and Chicago, which left -them a net rate ot between- 7 and 8 oents per 100 pounds for hauling. the .traffic 600 miles, and which In jured no one but themselves. He followed the lead of other ra'.lroad officials, in asserting that the rates as at present adjusted favored Chicago, and went further, by giving figures to prove that the Missouri river points and St. Paul were enticed to slaughter about 40 per cent of al) tbe hogs and : cattle raised In the country,-,,. :. ,-, -- .... t A..C. Bird, third, vloe president of the St. ,Paul road, declared, that rates on live stock , were . too ' low and did -not bear a jurt. share, et transportation-charges. .. SAYS RATES ARE TOO LOW Railroad Man's Opinion of Live Stock Charges from Missouri River to Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 22. Vice President Bird of the St. Paul road today answered com plaints of the Chjcago Live Stock exchange aa to ratea, by declaring that the present rates tor carrying live animals from Mis souri, river, points to Chicago are too low rather than, , too high. "Under present rates," he said, "live atock does, not bear Ita share of the general charges." Mr., Bird's testimony waa given before tba Interstate Commerce commission. He thought that without reference to present competitive, conditions, rales on finished products should be higher than on live stock, and he admitted that the. contrary rule Is In force on the St. Paul road, prlnr clpally because of the example, set by tbe Chicago Great Western line last August. This , example i was followed by moat ot th western roads and was tbe cause of the present.
