tT.'iicr Attack on the Measure l.j
Senator La Follette Clim;;c
that It Is tin Legislation Most IH"
tired by a Small Clique which
Dominate Hnnnrc. of Country.
' Washington, March 19. Congrerj
was electrified by the sudden elimi
nation of the railroad bond feature
from the Aldrich Currency bill, and
later by a bitter attack on the meas
ure by Senator La Follette, in which
be charged that it was the legislation
most desired by the comparatively
small clique which has succeeded In
dominating the finances of the coun
try. The business of the Nation, he
declared, has gradually been central
ised until It Is directed by the men
who control the New York banks,
and these men number less than
one hundred.

station was made in commit) no be
fore the Senate met. Other minor
Tohcesslons were made, but the rail
road bond feature overshadowed
everything else. At flrnt it was be
lieved that the actio., was taken to
ambarrass La Follette, whose ad
dress was understood to be leveled
principally at this phase of the meas
ure. He declared that the trouble orig'
fnated through the c intrallzatton of
business in the hands of a few men.
These men, he charged later, had
plotted to bring about the recent
?anic to satisfy business, legislative
and political grudges, and to ad
vance their own selfish Interests.
"I have here a list of about 100
men," he said, waving a paper at
the Senate, "who control the Indus
trial, financial, and commercial life
of the American people. In the
irasp of these 100 men la the des
tiny of the Republic. The country
ioes not seem to realize how closely
allied are the great banking houses

Formers In Potato Trust.

For years the potato growers here

meeting In the Court House here sev
eral days ago, at which speakers
pointed out that the reason for the
low prices received for the vegeta
bles was the farmers were not kept
Informed of the best markets, and
that the shipping of the crops to one
or two places caused the market to
become glutted. It was estimated
that In this county 5,000,000 bush
els of potatoes were raised annually.
The farmers have decided to open
a central office at which the prices
prevailing In the various markets
will be received. All shipments will
be made through the association,
and the crops will be shipped from
one consignee to one consignor, thus
enabling the farmer to obtain the
lowest freight rates.
