WHYTHE FARMER SUFFERS

On Tuesday the Industrial Commission
made public its review of evidence taken
before the commission on the subjects of
agriculture and agricultural labor. Among
other subjects discussed is that of agricul-
ture depression, of which the commission
speaks as follows:
THE cause most often assigned for the
depression of agriculture in the Eastern
States is the increased production due to
the opening of Western lands in advance
of the natural demand, especially through
the agency of liberal land laws and grant
of land IN aid of railroad construction.
The competition of the West has been
rendered especially severe by the policy
of the railro ads in making freight rates
relatively low for long distances.
The old staple products having thus
become Improbable in the East, it Las
been necessary for farmers to change their
methods and vary the character of their
crops, taking up especially the culture of
products which are not easily transported
long distances. Thus truck farming has
largely superseded cereal growing along
the Atlantic Coast, farmers in the
North Atlantic States now complain of
the severe competition Of states farther
south in this industry, and much the same
may be said of fruit growing. Even so
perishable commodity as milk is trans
ported much longer distances than form
erly since the introduction of refrigerator
cars.
Another cause which several witnesses
assign for the unsatisfactory condition Of
agriculture in some parts of the country
is the conservatism OF the farmers, their
TX of quick adjustment to changed con-
S ard lack of effective business
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1901-11-15

planning and management. The farmers
as a class have not kept up with the times,
but have raised the same crops year after
year without regard to changes in supply
and demand This undue conservatism
and lack of managing ability among farm
ers is especially emphasized with refer
ence to the Southern States, and is given
as an explanation of the too exclusive at
tention to cotton production prevailing
there.
Another cause assigned for agricultu-
raj depression in the South is the scarcity
of money, the difficulty of borrowing on
real estate security and the consequent
high rates of interest. 1t seems to be pos
South at somewhat lower rates of inter-
est than formerly. The decline in the
price of cotton is, of course, an important
element in the depression of agriculture
in the South.
The inetficiency of negro labor is as
signed as another cause. On the other
hand it is affirmed that there is too much
good and cheap labor in the South. An
abundance of cheap labor is said to be
unfavorable to the success of agricul-
ture because it results in planting too
large an acreage and in neglect of per-
sonal attention by the planter.
"a gainst the charge that farmers are
unduly conservative is put the counter
charge they turn from one crop to anoth-
err without sufficient regard to the suita-
blity of the climate and soil or the con-
ditions of the market

TO REDUCE THE WAX TAX.

Representative Payne, chairman of the
ways and means committee, has announc-
ed that he will introduce soon after next
Congress assemblies a bill to repeal all the
war taxes imposed by the law passed
three years ago. Mr.. Payne has returned
to his home in New York for the purpose
of preparing the bill He is acting upon
the advice of Secretary Gage, and with
the consent of the President. This ac-
ton on the part of Mr.. Payne is under
stood to mean that there will be no at
tempt at revision of the tariff schedules
during the next session of Congress, but
in place thereof a reduction of the reve-
nue. will be made by cutting down the in
ternal revenue taxes. lis Mr.. Paynes
idea to prepare bill that will cut the in
come of the Treasury at least $7O,O0O,0o0,
and probably $sO,O0O,OOO. One OF the
principal cuts will be the reduction of the
beer tax to 81 barrel, the figure at which
it stood before the Spanish War. The
brewers are demanding that it be put
Gown to 95 cents, which may be done if
the cut of other taxes does not reduce the
revenue enough. The idea is to reduce
the tax on whiskey from $1.10 gallon to
80 cents, and possibly to so or 20 cents.
Tobacco will go from nine to six cents,
and all miscellaneous taxes-those on
secret formula proprietary medicines and
the like-are scheduled for repeal. The
tax on bucket shops it was said is to be
one of the few war taxes to be retained.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan, talked
with the President on Saturday about
financial legislation. The Senator is a
member of the Finance committee of the
Senate, and is strongly opposed at this
time to any further reduction of the
governments income. Il do not believe,
said he, ''that it would be wise to tinker
with the revenues until we know exactly
what money will be needed. If we are
to build the Nicaragua canal and provide
liberal amounts for the Improvement OF
| rivers and harbors it would be the height
of folly at this time to slash the revenues.

Powerful influences will be brought
to bear on the President to keep him
in line with the leaders of his party.
saws the Baltimore "Sun" Probably
Mr.. Roosevelt had no adequate Goa
ccption of the strength and variety of
these Influences when he became Presi-
dent, although he is an experienced
politician. In few weeks the coun-
try will know whether he will lead or
be content to 60 hand-in-hand with the
Republican Senators who control the
policy of their party and dominate leg
islation. overriding tie Executive
when his views are not in harmony
width theirs. If Wall street is deter
mined that there shall he no tariff agi-
tation at the approaching session Of
Congress, President Roosevelt will
hardly lie able TO resist its DEGREES.
The President may submit recommen
dations, but the willy Republicans Sen
ators would have little difficulty in
meeting the situation. 1t would be
easy to refer the whole subject of tariff
revision to q commission for investiga-
ton, and there the matter would rest
until revived year hence, if the Re-"
publican leaders should conclude to
make some concessions to the tariff re-
formers in their party. 1t would be
easy to dispose of the trust question in
the same way. Commissions are pro
Vel bially "conservative.' The Indus
trial Commission, appointed three
years ago to inquire into the workings
of the tariff and its effect upon trusts.
has not yet submitted its report.
When its conclusions are announced
it is said they will prove to be emf
nently "cunservative'.-the members
of the commission having agreed to
disagree on the most important sub
ects of that inquiry. If President
Roosevelt's recommendation are re-
gardcd as too radical by the leaders,
they may lie referred to commission.
In this event they will be shelved in
definitely and Wall street will get 4
long period of conservatism and pros
pcrity.'
