Reciprocity Blow to the Farm"
But w. G. Brown Favors 1t

1t is discouraging blow to the
farmers OF the United States just at
a time when sound public policy
would seem to sugges. every possible
method of encouragement and assist
ance. 1t may be that compensating
features not now apparent will de-
velop, but l must confess do not see
them now"
Mr.. Brown read carefully a clip
ping containing James j, Hills strong
Endorsement Of Canadian reciprocity,
and then said:
Naturally, Mr.. Hill would take that
view. The greater portion of the
wheat that will come from the Cana
dian northwest to this country in the
event of this agreement becoming eff
fective will come over his railroad
the Great Northern.
HE has railroad and other interests
in Canada that he desires to see built
up. The flour mills of Aiinnesota-hi
state-need Canadian wheat. Reel.
procity would be of great benefit to
Mr.. Hill and his road, as well as the
state.
Thinks Mr.. Hill Mistaken.
Il think. however, that Mr.. Hill is
mistaken on one point. He says, THE
notion that the price of any farm
product of which we produce sur.
plus is affected by duty on imports
is relic of economic ignorance too
dense for this country AS matter
of fact, almost every kind of farm pro.
duce costs from Is to 30 percent more
in Detroit than it does just across the
river in Canada
will not reciprocity with Canada
benefit the New York Central road p
Mr.. Brown was asked.
Undoubtedly. to some extent he
said. The New York Central touches
Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, and
We probably would get our share OF
any increase in shipments. OF course,
reciprocity would be good thing for
the lumber and paper men, and we
undoubtedly would do increased bust
ness if the lumber shipments should
increase
What section of the country do
you think would receive the greatest
benefit from such an agreement"
New England, by all means. That
section needs reciprocity with Canada.
1t needs cheaper raw materials and 1t
needs cheaper prices on farm products
to reduce the cost of living for the
workingmen. .
DO you think the present congress
will pass the bill?"
We'll, don't know. think there
will be fight. When the agricultural
interests realize just what reciprocity
means to them, they will get after
their representatives to oppose it. But
] believe the United States can af-
ford to put up with any little harm
that may come from reciprocity now,
for the great good that will result Ill.

There is a very general demand on
the part of Iowa newspapers that the
Sammis bill, which proposes to en-
large the railroad commission and
take the control of all public utilities
away from the city councils, shall be
defeated. One of the latest papers to
express itself on the subject is the

clares that there is no good reason
for taking the control OF public utiI-

And that is why she called me down
When angrily she called me up.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-AS rail-
road man and citizen of New York,
w. G. Brown, president of the New
York Central railroad. strongly IA
vors reciprocity with Canada. AS an
Iowa farmer. he is opposed to it. He
believes that, with the exception of
the farmer. the people OF this country
will be gamers by such an agreement
The farmer will be loser.
In my present capacity as rail-
road man." said Mr.. Brown last night.
II am heartily in favor OF the sug-
gested reciprocity agreement with
Canada. There are millions OF acres
OF cheap land across the border,
which, by the construction of rail-
roads, is being made easily accessible
The removal of the duty of 25 cents
a bushel on wheat and corresponds
ing duty OH all other agricultural pro-
ducts will result in material lower
ing of the price Of almost everything
raised on the farm.
If the commission merchant and
the retailer reflect. these reductions
in the prices they charge the consum-
err, the net result will be an appre-
cable reduction in the cost Of living.
This is very desirable thing for the
worker. the manufacturer and all en-
ployes of labor.
Farmers the Sufferers
AS an Iowa farmer, however, /
cannot contemplate the proposition
with much satisfaction. If the agree
ment confers any benefits In the way
of reduced prices for farm products,
every dollar of the reduction will be
taken from the farmer Of the United
States.
For more than generation the
farmer has borne tho burden of the
tariff with no direct benefit whatever
and with scant incidental benefit.
When Canada was a wilderness, with
out population or means of transpor-
tation, the tariff on the product of
the farm meant nothing to the Ameri-
can farmer
but HOW, Win auuuQdnI JTauSpOT-
tation facilities and with vast en-
pire of fertile, uncultivated land open
to the settler at about one-tenth the
average value of land in the United
States, the duty OF Is cents a bushel
on wheat becomes most important
and valuable thing to our farmers. It's
withdrawal, just as 1t has become a
matter of Importance. seems to me a
great injustice. cannot see any COM
pensating features in the proposed re-
ciprocity SO far as the farmer is con-
cerned.
Yet the Farmer Can't Complain.
AT the same time / can not see
how the Iowa farmer can complain.
The agreement, with all it entails of
probable injury to the farmer, is the
first fruit of the soca1led Iowa idea
long advocated by Iowa's senator's
and by many of the congressman from
that state.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

Senator Cummins' backbone is under
suspicion.
IF Senator Lorimer is wholly inno-
cent of the charge against him he is
unfortunate In his defense says the
Burlington Hawk-Eye
The Denison Review observes that
intensive wabbling seems TO be the

mind about it,
A former resident of Hopkinton,
Iowa, has become a candidate for
mayor of Chicago. The Cedar Rapids
Gazette sees in this another warning
to boys to remain on the farm or in
the small city and shun the big
cities.

SuIIivan's Popularity.
My friend then asked me another
question. eWho was the most popular

John L. Sullivan"
1 didn't attempt to explain why and
I don't know that I could If I wanted
to. It's simply a case of a name to
conjure with; OF an admiration that
is bequeathed by sporting sire TO son.
Yet another question: WHO was
the greatest Champion" There is no
way of telling Each man is simply
the best Of his day and there is no
accurate way OF deciding how he
would have Jared with a champion OF
another day.

should be regarded as the greatest
ever Just as g 1911 model automobile
lays over a last years car.
But I have always held one view
that tests between fighters still in the
flesh and fighters who have passed TO

and as a consequence, arguments on
the score are futile.
All a champion can claim is that ne
