BATE INCREASE j
. 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.

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGt
The home Is the greatest contribuj
tlon of women to- the world, and tlu
hearthstone Is her throne,-' Our so
cial structure is built around lier, and
social righteousness is in her charge 1
Her beautiful life lights the skies ol
hope and her refinement is the charni ?
of twentieth/century civilization, Hei) .
graces and her power are the cumuj
lative products of generations of;
queenly conquest, and her crown of >
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of saintly mothers. 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
