done. The final vote OF the copven-
tion was that the farmers should at
once proceed with the work Of organ
ization.
A committee of five was appointed to
draft resolutions announcing such pur-
poses to the farmers Of the Northwest,
together with the necessities and rea-
sons therefore
A second committee Of I'VE was next
appointed to exmaine the several plans
OF organization proposed and recon-
mend the best plan at the next conyen-
tion. This committee was instructed to
call the next meeting, to have the
meeting extensively advertised to in
sure large attendance OF farmers, who
should consider and act upon the COM
mittees recommendations.
On Wednesday the committee on res
olutions finished its work and reported
to the convention the resolutions herein
referred to, which were later adopted by
the convention without dissention.
The convention then proceeded to elect
officers as follows. President, p. H. Ra-

The Farmer FOOts the Bill.

Did you Industrious farmers ever think
how many deadheads you are transport
ing over the American railroads? You
help pay the fare Of every person who
rides on pass. What the railroads
give away to the privileged class they
make up by charging the unprivileged
class higher fares. When yau take a
ride on the cars you pay 2 cents mile
too much, because somebody else rides
for nothing. Now give me your eyes
and ears for minute and l will show
you something.
The president, his cabinet officers and
all their families never pay railroad
fares. They are now on a little jaunt
of $4,000 miles and they go all the way
for nothing-the governor of Ohio with
his staff and state officers meet the
president. in California, and the gov
ernor and his friends pay just as much
as the president.
Now look at this interesting list Of
deadheads-we would like to have said
uoduuedlS.. 1ue preSIueHI ana MS caDl-
net-the heads of the departments and
all their subordinates, the judges of the
courts, the members of both houses of
congress-the worst of this list is that
congressman will ride free and also col
lect mileage from the government. Then
come the state officers of all the states
and territorial officers of all the terri
tories, with all their clerks and assist
ants-the members Of all the state leg
islatures and their friends-the leading
politicians of both old parties and their
blowers and strikers-every sheriff in
the land and most of the county officers
every wholesale and most of the retail

It is well known fact that practically
all the railways of the United States
have been brought together into four or
five groups, and these groups are one,
SO far as establishing and maintaining
rates are concerned. A LITTLE GROUP
OF LESS THAN HALF A DOZEN MEN
CAN VIRTUALLY DICTATE THE
TRANSPORTATION RATE WHICH
EVERY POUND OF MERCHANDISE
AND EVERY PRODUCT OF THE
FARM AND FACTORY SHALL PAY.
Some plan must be devised for
a closer and more absolute control Of
the railways by the nation than now ex-
lists, OR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OF THE ENTIRE RAILWAY SYSTEM
OF THE UNITED STATES is NOT FAR
DISTANT. None of the barons
of the feudal times possessed such power
as these men.-Ohio State Journal.
