The Farming interests.

National Grange Master Aaron Jones of
Indiana was before the industrial com
mission in Washington, ID. c., March
14th He expressed the opinion that
transportation was the most important
question with which the farmer had to
deal, and he believed rates should be
made by an independent commission and
that the railroad companies should not
be allowed to arbitrarily tx rates. He
also asserted that the rates should be con-
trolled, and expressed the hope that the
commission would devise legislation to
that end. lie thought our consuls abroad
should interest themselves in the agr-
cultural products of the country as much
as in its manufacturing interests.
Another reform suggested was the low
elug of the salaries of government off
cials.
Il remember" he said, 'when the sal
aries of Congressman were increased from
S., COO to s., 600. This increase was made
on the plea that the purchasing power of
the dollar had decreased. Now that there
has been an increase i'll the purchasing
power we hear no agitation for reduc-
tion of salaries
MI Jones asserted that the farmer was
unfairly and inequtably taxed one quar-
ter to one third of the income of the
| average farm in Indiana being necessary
to pay the taxes levied upon it. He sug-
gested legislation looking to uniformity
in taxation in the different States He
favored uniform income tax, but opposed
the inheritance tax.
On the question of immigration, he
said the Polanders were the most non
assimilable of all foreigners coming to
this country. They insisted upon main
tanning their own schools for the preser
vation of their language and religion. He
mentioned one community in Indiana
where there were 800 Polish children,
not one of whom attended the public
schools,
i Mr.. n. j. Batchelder of New Hamp-
shire, for many years master of the State
Grange of that State, occupied the atten-
ton of the commission at the afternoon
session. He explained the tendency of
wealthy people to purchase abandoned
farms in New England for summer resi-
dences, saying that the rural residents of
the New England States were disposed to
encourage this practice, as it gave them
better local markets. He also said that
the abandonment of farm lands in that
section had been checked and he attribut-
ed this change to the influence of the
grange Mr.. Batchelder said farming
was profitable in New England to-day and
that farm laborers generally received $25 a
month.

No woman should come here seeking en-

ton. 1t will show an increase in the nu M
Der of sheep and mich COWS and a de-
crease in the number of horses, mules,
swine and neat cattle other than mich
COWS, with general increase in value. A
decrease OF POS, 6O4 in the number of
horses is accompanied by the increase Of
S32, 712, 4O6 in total value, the average
valuepe head increasing from S34. rs to
s37. 40. Similarly a decrease of l, 269, 972
, in the number of cattle other than mich
COWS is accompanied by an increase of
S25, 634, $40 in total value. The average
value per head increasing from $40. 92 to
