THERE is mora than one way for the
Western people to look at the transportation
problem. Undoubtedly they are suffering
in many instances from extortionate charges
for carrying grain to the seaboard This
should be one of the strongest reasons for
encouraging the development of home mar
kets. Economically speaking, it is very
wrong to send wheat and corn and meat on
a long journey of 1000 miles to find eaters.
Those eaters should be within few score or
at most few hundred miles of their farms.
