FLos Angeles, March 15.-Thornton
Freen, an elevator operator 81 years
old, has been suffering for years from
a constant fever, and his physician,
DIR. Henry Herbert, has just discovered
the cause-two extra and entirely UNI
necessary ribs. According to members
of the Los Angeles Medical associa-
tion, Green's case is something new in
medical annals, and it is feared that
the young man will have to undergo an
operation for the removal of the ribs
if he wants to avoid sweating himself
to death.

illustrated this truth by showing
the difference between the cost of a
bushel Of tomatoes when it left the

sliced for use in a restaurant.
think the illustration which I gave
showed that it increased in value,
after leaving the hands of the rails

Not An Extreme Case.
But you may say that this is an
extreme case. Well, I will give you
another illustration, one which rep
resents the least margin of differ.
ence, the staff of life. Probably the
average price Of a bushel of wheat in
! this state during the last year has
been ninety cents. At the present
price of land, about two-thirds of
the working life Of a man is spent
before he can become the owner of
his land, free from any mortgage in
debtedness. It then becomes his
. capital invested. 1t is needless for
me to go over all of the details of
the work upon the land from the
blowing until the wheat is delivered
to an elevator, the chances for hail,
or drouth, or rust, or accumulation
Of noxious weeds. 1t is sufficient for
me to say, and know every think
ing man will bear me out, that the
amount of labor expended in produc-
ing and delivering that bushel of
wheat is several times more than
the energy expended upon it in
transporting it to the mill, grinding
it into -four, retransporting it to the
baker and making it into bread, If
the labor upon it after it leaves the
farmers hand is one-half the farm
er's labor, it should not add more
than forty-five cents to that bushel
of wheat when converted into bread;
add to that, if you please, reason
able profit, and the bushel of wheat
when converted into bread would
be worth say $3.50.
Facts in the Case.
Now, let us see what the facts are.
Say bushel of wheat will make
|seventy-five loaves of bread. At
five cents a loaf a bushel of wheat
would amount to 1915. The farmer
then receives ninety cents for all
the labor expended by him upon the
bushel of wheat. With an addition
al labor of about fifty per cent, the
price is nevertheless increased about
four hundred per cent. But this is
not all. If you follow one of those
loaves into restaurant and order
bread and butter, a service of a
couple of slices would range from

which the world must have, its food

What is the secret Of this greater
success in other lines of business, for
talk as much as you will, flatter to
your hearts content, the fact still
stares us in the face, that no farmer
has ever become a millionaire by
farming the soil, White many, very
many. have become millionaires by

|, Great Divergence in Wages.
In the industrial world we find
great divergence in the matter Of
wages paid for similar services, and
I find again that custom rather
than scientific obstruction has had
much to do with maintaining these
differences. The bricklayer in our
great cities receives from fifty to
eighty cents per hour for his labor.
With his plum line and level it re-

wall than it does to build a grain
stack. that will shed rain and at the
same time not tip over. And yet If a
farmer were to estimate his skill at
the rate of fifty to eighty cents an
hour, with his average from twelve
to fifteen hours per day, the world
would be astounded at his audacity.
Why is his labor estimated so
much lower than that Of the artisan
or even professional man? It is be-
cause his vocation has heretofore
brought him in less wealth than any
other vocation, and custom seems to
think that it should remain so.
know some Of you may have this
answer in your mind: The doctor
or lawyer must spend years In secur.
ing the education that will fit him
for his profession, and hence should
be entitled to greater remuneration
for his services thereafter. True,
but did it ever occur to you that
your doctor can graduate at least
three times over while the farmer
is paying for his land? It requires
the farmer three or four times as
long as it does the lawyer to be-
come the owner of the capital which
Is to be the foundation Of his future
income. It seems almost impossible
to get the public to understand that
it takes long years to make a farm
pay for its purchase price at $40. 90
or $1,000 per acre with the best
prices and no failures. Mr.. Rakow,
a member of your Equity Society Of
this state. published a short time ago

purchased today, the compensation
for the farmers services at much
less than the average paid the artis'
an, the allowance ror depreciation
in buildings, stock and machinery,
keeping such account in the same
form as the manufacturer or mer-
chant or banker keeps his, and on
that basis he found that every farm.
er in the United States would be
running behind. That he has kept
ahead is due to his most rigid econ
omy in living and the lower estimate
which he is compelled to place upon
his own labors, and that of the fam
ily-often on the negative side.
The secret of all this disparity of
remuneration il that the doctor de-
termines his own fee. The lawyers
pen indites upon the ledger his own
charge. The merchant fixes his own
prices. The farmer fixes the price
of neither the thing he sells nor the
thing he buys. This is the founda.

characterization of Farm Products.
This one-sided transaction natural
ly results in the undertaking of
the labor expended by the farmer
upon his products. and the conse-
quent undertaking of the products
themselves.
Mr.. Chairman, this world is a
world Of barter, of trading one thing
for another. The money used in the
transaction is only the medium Of
measurement of things traded. The
inherent value of each article traded
should always be based upon the
amount Of human energy and brain
employed In its production. There
fore, any two articles, each requir-
ing the same amount of intelligence
and labor in it's production, ought to
always trade equally one for the
other, and If a system has grown
up, custom whereby one of such
articles is exchanged for two others,
each requiring the same expended
energy in its production, then some
thing is wrong in our commercial
relations and that something ought
to be corrected. Am I not right?
If the thing which the farmer sells
represents twice as much expended
energy as the thing he buys with it,
there is a commercial wrong to be
righted, and I want to live to see it
righted. I am going to do what
can to right it, and the first ques.
ton is whether this is a fact. That
it is the truth can be demonstrated
