NECESSARY FARMERS' UNION OFFICIAL8 THINK RAILROADS ARE ENTITLED TO MORE REVENUE. Products of Plow and Farmer Who Lives at Home Should Be Exempt From Increase. By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The recent action of the Interstate Commerce Commission in granting an increase in freight rates in the eastern classification of territory; the application of the roads to state and interstate commissions for an increase in rates, and the utterances of President Wilson on the subject bring the farmers of this nation face to face with the problem of an increase in freight rates. It is the policy of the Farmers' Union to meet the issues affecting the welfj.-e of the farmers squarely and we will do so in this instance. The transportation facilities of the tj 111 Ltd oiaies are inauequaie 10 eifectively meet ..the demands of commerce and particularly in the South and West additional railway mileage is needed to accommodate the movement of farm products. If In the wis <tom of our Railroad Commissions an increase in freight rates is necessary to bring about an improvement in our transportation service, and an extension of oui mileage, then an increase should be granted, and the farmer is willing to share such proportion of the increase as justly belongs to him, but we have some suggestions to make as to the manner in which this increase shall be levied. Rates Follow Lines of Leaut Resistance. The freight rates of the nation have been built up along lines of least resistance. The merchant, the manufacturer, the miner, the miller, the lumberman and the cattleman have had their traffic bureaus thoroughly organized and in many instances they have pursued the railroad without liu rey and with the power of organized tonnage they have hammered the life out of the rates and with unrestrained greed the> have eaten the vitals out of our transportation system and since we have had railroad commissions, these interests, with skill and cunning, are represented at every hearing in which tlicir business is i lvolved. me izmrrrrms st-iuoui -Tcpresrirr*?> at rate hearings, as his organizations have never had the finances to employ counsel to develop his side of the case and, as a reault, the products of the plow bear an unequal burden of the freight expense. A glance at the freight tariffs abundantly proves this assertion. Cotton, the leading agricultural product i the. South, already bears the highest freight rate of any necessary commodity in commerce, and the rate on agricultural products as a whole is out of proportion with that of the products of tho factory and ttie faine. Wo offer no schedule of rates, but hope the commission will be able to give the railroad each an increase in rates as is necessary without levying a further toll upon the products of the plow. Tho instance seems to present an opportunity to the itailroad Commissions to equalize the rates as between agricultural and other classes of freight without disturbing the rates on staple farm products. What Is a Fair Rate? We do not know what constitutes a basis for rate making and have never heard of anyone who did claim to know much about it, but if the prosperity of the farm is a factor to be considered ar.d the railroad commission concludes that an increase in rates is necessary, we would prefer that It come to us through articles of consumption on their journey from the factory to the farm. We would, for example, prefer that the rate on nogs remain as at present and the rate on meat bear the increase, for nnv fnrm<tr f-nti thnn <*> oa! A 1 ? VM.I iMV II (itUiU UIC I'll III*' 11 by raising his own meat, and a farmer who wiU not try to raise his own meat ought to be penalized. We think the rate on coal and brick can much better bejjr an increase than the rate on cotton and flour. We would prefer that the rate on plows remain the same, and machinery, pianos and such articles as the poorer farmer cannot hope to possess bear the burden of increase. The Increase in rates should bo so arranged that the farmer who lives at home will bear no pari of the burden, but let the farmer who boards in other states and countries and who feeds bis stock in foreign lands, pay the price of his folly.

She has been a great factor in the -glory L' of our *. ntry, and her noble achieve- > ments should not be marred or her , hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of citizenship. American chivalry should never permit her to bear the burdens of defending and ( maintaining government, but should preserve her unsullied from the allied influences of politics, and protect her from the weighty responsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her ideals and lower her standards. The motherhood of the farm is our inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and o guide to a higher life, but directing the affairs of government is not within woman's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits. Universal instinct for Play. In providing for enjoyment the church uses one of the greatest methods by which human society has developed. Association is never secure until it is pleasurable; in play the instinctive aversion of one person for another Is overcome and the social mood is fostered Play is the chief educational agency in rural communities and in the play-day of human childhood social sympathy and social habits are evolved As individuals come together in social gatherings, their viewpoint is broadened, their ideals are lifted and finally they constitute a cultured and refined society. It is plain, therefore, that the church which aims at a perfected society must use in a refined and exalted way the essential factors in social evolution and must avail itself of the universal instinct for play. If the church surrounds itself with social functions which appeal to the young among its membership, it will fill a large part of the lamentable ga*) in rural pleasures and will reap the richest reward by promoting a higher and better type of manhood and womanhood Furnish Fresh Air.
