FARMERS' CLEARING HOUSE. ivoiivii s BfLL WOULD PROVIDE FOR SOIINTIITC M IHK FT mo. >loaeure, Which Is Farmery Idea, Causes Quite n Stir In United States Senate? Would Get Full Value fnf l*roduoer. Washington, Jan. 17.?Co-opera tion among farmers instead ol* compe? tition, that "the farmer may receive the whole of the consumer"; dollar for his product Instead of 3G to 40 per cent as now Is the case." is tho aim of a bill Introduced today by Senator Bo? rah to create an "agricultural capital' or clearing house, to be ruu by farm? ers under government charter pr sub? sidy. The bill would furnish machinery for scientific marketing and stand urdisa Aon of farm products under di? rection of a country-wide organiza? tion of producers irrespective of a government control. It created quite a stir in tho senate, Senator Borah la? ter explaining that he had not writ? ten the measure, but had introduced it at the request of K. H. Rcttlg, a farmer of Opportunity, Washington. In a memorial accompanying the Rettin submitted that farmers wart, neglected by the government, and he made tin- declaration that the lug trusts'' had done mure good for the public than the government. As-t sorting that "competition is the moth? er of waste," Mr. Rettig said 'the law of business success is co-operation." "Think of the stupidity of our na? tional government," he continued, "en? couraging its citizens to produce wealth and after it has been produced insisting on these same citizens con? testing against each other for posses? sion of the things they have produced. "I am going to venture the asser? tion that the Standard Oil Company,1 International Harvester Company, the Steel trust and other so-called trusts the government has sought to dis? rupt, have done more real Samaritan service for the benetlt of the mussel I than our government."

Washington. .Ian. 17.?Represents-| tive Byrnes today addressed the house on the provisions of the postofllce ap? propriation bill relating to compenfio-' tion for ruial carriers. Referring to a statement which he had secured from! the Postmaster Oeneral, he said that1 while the bill ostensibly provided for* an increase o:r salary for all carriers, iis matter of tact the salary of all tri-: weekly carriers would be reduced and there would be great discrimination t in the increase of salaries of daily car? riers. Mr. Byrnes asserted that under the provisions of the bill the increase for a 23-mile route would be $75 per year, for a 25-mile route $72.50 and for a 24-mlle route only $50 per year. He asked for an increase from $1,100 to $1,200 for the standard route, ad? ding $30 for every mile above and deducting $30 lor every mile below. The provision may be changed to some extent to meet Mr. Byrnes' criticisms.
