FARMERS JIM CONGRESS-
Continued From First Page.


cultural and rural industry and interest not
to separate until you have taken ample meas
ures to secure respectful hearing by the
congress of the United States. Let senators
and representatives understand that these
bills must become laws, or thirty millions of
farmers will know why. Let US strive to Sc
cure compact organization and cooperation
of all who have their living direct from the
farmer as voting mass who propose to WELD
their suffrage intelligently in behalf of
reforms which are real as they are
essential to the well-being of all
parties land of the whole people.
Next after the bill for the department., the
bill for the extension of the weather warnings
of the signal service to the rural districts was
deemed most important by this body, and was
accordingly urged with respectful earnestness
by your committee before the agricultural
committee of congress. 1t likewise
SLEEPS THE SLEEP OF DEATH
on the calendars, Other measures of equal
Importance embraced in your resolutions and
urged in accordance with your instructions
before the proper committees of congress
have shared the same fate, the interstate
commerce bill among them. 1t is doubtful if
more important measure ever came up for
consideration in congress slnc9 the organZa-
ton of the government. This as we'll as the
department bill has more than once passed by
handsome majority in that branch of con-
gress which, is nearest to the people, only to
be stopped in the American house of lords, as
the senate of the United States is beginning
to be styled. Margins of profit on staple agri-
cultural products have become so narrow that
questions of profit or loss in their pFodution
have come to be questions of rates of trans
portation to market. A state of facts which
places the greatest and most important inter-
ests of states, and even of great groups of
states, at the mercy of railway kings and
their coparceners and attorneys. Those who
know human nature must know that it is Su-
premely necessary to SHUT this wide door in
the face of these monopolists, or sooner or
later the government must take possession of
their properties and operate them in the in
terests Of the people. Let the railroads take
notice that the Reagan bill in some form
must pass or the people will demand the in
PREVENTION of the government to deliver agri-
culture from this bondage which it
cannot and will not longer bear.
