vice president of the Gould lines, be-
fore the senate interstate commerce

with the question as to the reasonable
ness of the rates on a given commod-
ity there can be but one intelligent
line of procedure, viz: to ascertain II
the carrier, under investigation as to
it's rates, is earning more than a reas-
enable profit per ton, and when that is
attained, If the article which is sub
ject to complaint, is rated unreason-
ably high in proportion to the rate on
other articles, value and risk of duty
considered"
Mr.. Bird presented statement CIV
ing the rates on carloads of various
kinds of merchandise between certain
southwestern points to illustrate that
what he said is relative to the reason
ableness of cattle rates in that ter
ritory. This showed that cattle rates
are 13 per cent of the value of the
property carried while the rates on
lumber, hay, fruit, wire nails and 9th
er things range from 1876 per cent to

The relationship of the farmers in
a community and the business men
should be most cordial. Only for
the farmers, the laborers and others
that comprise the great part of the
population the merchant would have
little excuse for being in business.
The interests of beth classes are
parallel. One cannot veil get along
without the other. The merchant
depends more upon the success of
the farmer and the laborer than do
either of the latter on the success of
the former. In reality all are Ia
borers working in their respective
fields. Between them there should
be the greatest harmony. In towns
that are noted for activity and pro-
gress, particularly in agricultural
sections, it will be found it is the
united efforts of both classes that
win.
