charge a commission for service?
Undoubtly so, and a big one at
that. Who would pay this com
mission? The farmer. Who
would get it? The private indi

their own interest of the public.
Will they charge a commission?
Certainly. Who will get this
commission? After all expenses
are settled, the remainder will
be returned to the stockholders

these dividends. What could be
more just? The' farmer can pro-
