given him three days in WHICH to
recant his alleged POLITICAL indie.

Poche wrote to the govefnor a
document abjectly repudiating
everything stated in the first
letter.
In between times came the
governors denial of Poche's
charges and Poche's suspension
by the Came Commission.
Here is the Poche letter as
given to the Picayune reported
by the governors secretary:
Hester, La, July II, 1911.
Hon. ]. Y. Sanders, Governor
Of Louisiana, Baton Rouge, La:
My Dear Sir want to make q
complete retraction of every
word in my letter to you Under
date of July IA.
"Swayed at the time Of that
writing by motives unworthy Of
an honorable man, and at the
solicitation Of your enemies, ! in.
hicted on you'a grievous wrong.
But now my better judgment
having regained ascendency it
clearly becomes my plain duty to
express to you MY deepest regret
at a step which now I cannot but
condemn, and to offer you the
fullest apology.
Hoping you will accept this
from a man who prefers rather
to face any humiliation than
persist IN q wrong committed, /
am, yours respectfully,

ed in the United States. 1t is
the one business in this country
that is not we'll organized. Oil,
coal, and all other treasures OF
the; earth have been developed
Into a business system. The
surest thing on earth, the pro-
duction of food supplies, has
never been we'll organized.
In Denmark the farmers thirty
years ago received only $12, O@,-
600 for their butter, eggs and
bacon. Then they began the
organization of market societies.
Now the income from these pro-
Ducts is over 500, 600, 600 a Year.
The suggestion of Mr.. Yoakum
is that the government should
establish a market bureau OF the
Department of Agriculture, de-
/ voted to accommodating and dis
tributing information on the best
methods and best markets for
Selling. He points out that al
ready Logan Waller Page, the
director of the office Of public
roads, is doing praiseworthy
york in putting the roads into
Such condition as will reduce the
cost of hauling throughout the
country, and says that this should
be supplemented by information
to the farmer whereby he will be
able to ascertain what becomes
of the difference il the amount
that he receives for his products
and the amount paid by the con-
sumner. The idea Of Mr.. Yoakum
is to bring the farmer and con-
sumner closer together. 1nasmuch
as snch an ARRANGEMENT would
save to both of them a large por-
ton of the $7,@, 100000 . year
which now goes to the middle
men, it is a plan that should
command the support Of the en-
tire country.
Mr.. Yoakum i entitled to
credit for having eXpounded the
real economic issue before the
country SO clearly; it remains
with the farmers and the gov
eminent to devise the means for
changing the conditions.

High Cost Of Selling.

In his address at the annual
meeting of the Texas Farmers
Congress held at College, Tex,
a few days ago, B. F. Yoakum,,
chairman Of the board Of direc-
tors Of the Frisco Lines, dug deep
down to the root Of the disease
that is troubling the United
States. It is not the high cost of
living, but the high cost of sell
ing. says Mr.. Yoakum, and in
stating the problem he takes the
first step toward solving it.
Mr.. Yoakum asserts that the
farmers do not get as much as
they should for their products,
and that the consumer pays too
much. He referred to the gov
eminent reports, which show
that the producer receives 46
cents for the products Of the
farm Tor which the consumer
pays 81.
Last years products, for in
stance, were worth $9, GOO, 600, 900,
farm values being; used to reach
the totals. : Assuming" said
Mr.. Yoakum, that the farmers
Kept one-third Of the products
for their own use, the consumer
paid over s1S, 600, 100000 for
what the producers received only
Sc, 600, 900. Therefore, s., 900, :
GOO, 600 was expended in selling
the product. !"

points out, that the business side
