TAFT'S RAILROAD u i
BILL WILL LOSE
ITS PROJECTIONS
fcoNrrNUED FROM PAGE u

sure substantially the same thing, but
that he thought this insurgency among
his colleagues would not be willing to
accept anything outside of a straight
out proposition compelling railroads to
obtain permission of the commission be-
fore putting rates into effect. When
Senator Cummins came in out of Sem
ator .Aldrich's room he said in response
to question:
1--WE are not compromising. We believe
We have the votes to adopt my amend
ment."
It was apparent that he had not been
told of the plan to eliminate section Z
Intention on the part of those who have
the bill in charge He Joined Senators
Ciapp, Doliver and LaFollette, who had
waited in the corridor to learn the re-
suit of his visit to the conference.
A newspaper man who Joined this
group Of insurgents was told by all of
them that they were confident of win
ring. Harmony was not complete in the
conference of the Senate leaders, 1t was
said, and Senator Flint was not willing
that section 7 should be stricken out
o. the bill. At the same time he was
Gnalterably opposed to giving the rail-
roads full power to raise rates without
tire approval of the commission and
he made it clear that as between the
two propositions on q final vote he would
act against his associates and support
the Cummins amendment rather than the
Elkins- Crawford amendment.
Compromises Proposed
sMr. Flint proposed as a compromise that
traffic agreements should be permitted
And that the commission should give
blanket approval of existing rates but
That no new rates should be put in force
until they had been approved.
His proposition did not meet the acqui-
essence and it was apparent also in the
attitude of the insurgents that they would
not accept 1t. Mr. Flint then Withdrew
from the conference.
Several senators were asked tonight to
what they attributed their failure to get
enough votes to adopt the Elkins-Craw-
ford amendment. They were also unani-
NOUS in the expression that 1t could be
charged directly to the fear that II rates
were raised by the railroads the people
would say the repeal of the Sherman anti
trust law in its application to railroads
was responsible.
Internationally the possible political eff
feet Of the adoption of section n frighten-
ed away some of the early supporters
Of the provision 1t is declared. Senator
Root was snoticeably annoyed at the OUT
come of the conference. When asked
what caused the change of front In con-
nection with section I, he said:
n "Cold feet Cold feet. Some of those
who ought to- have supported the bill
were afraid of the political effect.
Whether the show down between the
regular republicans and the insurgents
win come tomorrow depends, it is said
On the amount of debate that ensues, and
tfe attitude of the insurgents when they
learn of the plans of their opponents to
deprive them Of victory

President Barrett Takes Up Rural
Problems and Offers Plans of the
Farmers Union Toward Ma

| st. Louis May 2-Chares S. Barrett
president of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperation union, was a speaker ct
| today's session of the organization. After
stating that vandalism and graft are be-
| ing eliminated from our political life,
Mr. Barrett said: I'VE are standing more
resolutely each day for literal interpre-
tation of the doctrine of the square
DEAL We are determined that the people,
| and not the politicians, shall rule. The
Farmers union is responsible both for
the awakened farmer and the awakened
nation as regards the farmer.
Our principles and our way of apply
ing them must be sound, for we have IN
creased from less than $1,000 membership
six years ago to membership today ris-
ing 100000. Throughout the southern
states we are well organized. In the mid
die west we are formally organized and
our numbers are rapidly growing. This
year we have perfected organizations in
several of the western and Pacific slope
states, and we shall soon invade New
England.

| for his backbone staple, cotton. That
| means we have mnistered to every
phase of southern commerce, that We
have laid every southerner under obliga-
ton to us, for cotton is the financial
barometer of the southern states. In the
middle west we are recording Roadway in
| handling, in a scientific and equitable
manner wheat and corn. In the far west
We are accomplishing results in the sys-
tematizing of the fruit industry. and Of
| general agricultural products.

| "Tbe financial success of our pro-
eramme is important but it is exceeded
by our moral and intellectual progress
and evolution. Through our national,
state and local organizations we have
been persistently preaching scientific ag-
riculture, diversified agriculture, con-
seryation of soil resources, and rotation
| of crops.
"Our warehouse system in the south,
| our warehouse and cooperative business
enterprises throughout the middle ana
| far west. are revolutionizing the view
point of the farmer"
| Pleading for sincere, constructive lead
ership among the farmers, President Bar
rett said in the degree that this prevalls,
now and in the days to come I'VE snail
solve the agricultural problems perplex-
| ing the best and most consecrated thought
| of this country. -
| He said the selfish leadership is inevi-
tably incendiary and destructive. fo u
| its almost criminally selfish aims IL Is
| willing to turn the farmer against mis-
neighbor. against the merchant, against
| fhe banker. against the resident or Tthe
city. 1t Is leadership for revenue only,
without one redeeming aspiration.
Part of Rural Problem
"A distinct part of the rural prob
| lem Is the cultivation of better and
a more cooperative spirit between the
| city man and the country man. After
all. they have almost everything In
common. We are both Interested In
the curbing and purging, not the de-
struction, of great agencies of civiliza-
ton. We are both interested In build
ing up more staunch American cit
izen ship, free Of pollution from damag-
ing alien strains, bred and brought up
to fulfill the idea Of pure and militant
Americanism. And unless we realize
this close mutual relation we shall
both suffer.
Speaking of the campaign of the
Farmers union for the enactment of
certain national legislation, Mr.. Barrett
said: politicians in general have paid
and are paying more attention to the
farmer and that Is because the farmer
is paying more attention to the poll
tician. Once let the public officer con-
ceive the idea that he is being watch ed
continually by his constituent and that

The value of our annual farm
products is now about $8,000;000, 900.
It might easily be doubled, says Sec.

are all cut down and the mines, are
nothing but empty holes in the
ground, the farm lands of the coun-
try will remain capable of renewing
their bounty forever. But they, must
have proper: treatment. To prnvide
this, as matter Of self-interesteand
of national safety, is the most i'm.
perative present duty of our people.
Incidence, bad farming methods,

es. There is ALSO great activity in
the real estate field, especially in the
west, where speculative operations
are being conducted upon an unpre-
cedented scale. In other directions,
however, the outlook is not so ros-
cate. The cotton goods industry is

Many cotton mills are lille. The
high price of cotton Is. aserious en-
barrassment to manufacturers, and
distributors are decidedly reluctant
about stocking up at the present
high level. In the wooden industry

In mercantile circles there IS a
general feeling of conservatism. be.
cause of a very proper indisposition
to carry large supplies at present
prices; this tendency being enforced
by bankers who are prudently dis
eliminating more closely in their
purchases of commercial paper. Per-
haps the most unsatisfactory feature
of all is the popular discomfort aris'
ing from present high cost of liv.
ing. For this economy is the only
true cure. Already the crisis is be.
ginning to work out It's own solution
by checking consumption. The pros
poets are that a very large acreage
will this year lie devoted to the rails
ing of food and other agricultural
products; and, every farmer will
increase his output to the fullest ca
pacity in order to get advantage Of
present unusual profits. This means
a good demand for agricultural ma
chinery, fertilizers, etc. What with
the chance of increased supplies Of
foodstuffs before many months, and
the economies which in many cases
necessity will enforce it would
seem as if the present economical
crisis was at or near it's apex, AMI
that before long we shall see bet
ter relation between supply and de.
mand that will at least afford some
relief from present circumstances.
The winter has been a favorable one
for crops, and conditions for large
harvest are certainly better than a
year ago.
