RaatM
Basis.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 1o.-(special) Rel
Ative to the Farmers Business congress
TO be held In this city Monday. October g2.
James Butler. the promoter of the propo.
sltion, says:
The Indications are that the Farmers
Cooperative Business congress will be
largely attended. 1 have received letters
from twenty-five states and every one OF
them intends to have representation. A
number Of the states will probably have
over 100 delegates
In the grain growing states. judging
from the papers and letters received, there
is strong sentiment that the farmers
elevator people should meet and fix a reas-
enable price on wheat and other grain
They consider the price of wheat entirely
too low compared to the price of other
commodities. Farmers seem more and more
determined TO have something to say In
fixing the price on what they have to sell
Whether definite action will be taken al
this congress- I am unable to say. hut il
looks now very much like there would be
a strong determination to fix a price on
wheat
Yes, am confident that II the 700 OF
800 farmers elevators in the wheat belt
will take definite action demanding cents
they would get it. OF course so elevators
could not control the market but the fact
that that many elevators had taken actor
would induce farmers all over the wheat
belt to demand the fixed price. Farmers
are able to- hold. and this would simply
mean that they would get the price or moi

sell. The largest delegations will come
from Kansas Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska.
Texas, Arkansas, Minnesota. Georgia and
Alabama. In about the order named. The
other states will not have such large dele
cations.
Cooperation with Labor Unions.
"In the call for this congress did not
say anything about making II permanent,
but there seems to be a unanimous sem
tirnent favoring permanent organization.
1t is the FIRST meeting of the kind ever
| called in the United states and am
+ now assured that we will have many OF
the ablest speakers in the cotton belt, as
we'll as the grain and live stock district
present. Another feature that has lately
| developed in the growth of the organiza-
ton is the establishment of union ex-
changes in the large labor centers whicn
will enable the farmers union to unite
with the labor unions in establishing
| exchanges that will place the products
| OF the farm directly In the hands of union
labor consumers at the cost OF handling.
| These exchanges will be owned by and
| controlled by the union farmers and union
| labor Organizations in the cities, thus
| furnishing a we'll organized. systematic
| direct market for the farmers products
| and at the same time enabling union labor
| The sentiment Is growing in the labor
| centers among labor union people to buy
direct union labeled good from the farmer
and the same sentiment is growing rapidly
| among farmers to buy union labeled goods
| when making their purchases.
II have been receiving notices of dele
gates elected to this congress for the
| last two weeks and yet the date suggested
for selecting delegates has not yet ar
rived. The suggestive date for electing
| delegates was on October 8.
There is another feature that is deveI-
| oping. Delegates are coming to this con-
| gress with view of finding a market for
| products they have for sale and others
are coming prepared to buy. l am getting

sion an amendment to the constitution pro-

briefly of the work of the commission.
She recognized the club women as the
best friend in the state to library exten4
sion. and ascribed 80 per cent of the
libraries of the state as due directly to
the efforts of the womens clubs. She
urged the support OF the clubs in the
effort TO secure from the next legisla-
ture an additional $4,000 to the $4,000
appropriated by the last legislature for
the support of the commission during the
coming two years.
Mrs, +. Fl. Cole of Omaha conducted

mended that each club appoint a COM
mittee of not to exceed three members
to visit local charitable and state in

! spirit Of friendliness; second, that con-
dltions be entirely understood and re-

NEIGH. Neb., Oct 10-(Special Tele-
gram. THE republicans held a rouslng
meeting here tonight the court house hall
being totally inadequate to hold the crowd.
Judge N. ID. Jackson presided.
George L. Sheldon was greeted with great
applause as he came forward. Mr.. Sheldon
spoke at length upon the 9-eent passenger
fare, the maximum freight rate law and
determinations in freight rates in Me-
braska. He pointed out strongly the diff
ference between the democratic policy.
which offers no definite method of correct
ing the evils Of unjust rates and discrimina-
tions, and the republican policy which
stands for the enactment of laws which
can be enforced to correct the abuses and
does not stand for the enforcement Of OBJ
solete laws which everyone knows cannot
be enforced. Mr.. Sheldon said in part:
1T is generally conceded that freight and
passenger rates in Nebraska are unresson-
ably high believe they are. The rate on
wheat from Neigh TO Omaha is 15.5 cents
per 100 pounds. The distance is 15S miles.
The rate on wheat in Minnesota for 100
miles Ia 10 cents per 100 pounds and in Iowa
9ie3 cents. II costs 5ST cents more TO
Omaha than it does TO move a like amount
the same distance in Iowa 1 want the
railroads to explain why II is that II is
necessary to charge 50 per cent more to
move a carload OF wheat in Nebraska than
in Iowa" Taking UP the freight rates on
corn he showed that at present 1t takes
eighteen acres out of every 100 to pay the
freight on corn from Neigh to Omaha.

Railroad Rates at Par

In closing. Mr. Sheldon said Nebraska
cannot regulate rates outside OF the state.
but it can fix reasonable rates within the
state. and IL certainly should do it, At
present there is no law in force and none
that can be enforced that gives the citizen
of this state any relief from outrageous
and unreasonable railroad rates, fares and
charges. 1t is the duty OF the state to pro-
vide a remedy so that when its citizens are
imposed upon they can get relief. What
we want in Nebraska is railroad rates at
par. The republican party is pledged all
along the line to carry out the principle
of the state exercising the right which il
has to guarantee to it's citizens reasonable
railroad rates, fares and charges
Edward W. Magi made a brief speech,
saying that two years ago he supported
George w. Berge, but that this year he
was supporting George L. Sheldon, be-
cause he was still believer in the Same
principles he advocated two years ago and
that he owed more to principle than he
did to any party organization for the
specific purpose of political party victory.
Senator Burkett, who closed the pro-
gram. was received with great enthus-
iasm. He spoke on national questions in
the main, but urged the election of the
entire state and national ticket in order
that the principles Of Roosevelt and the
republican party might be carried out.
He referred to George l.. Sheldon in a
very complimentary manner. citing his
past conduct In public life and saying
that his election meant the carrying out
of a definite policy in the correction of
existing abuses. 4atf o., Mss
