GOOD ARGUMENT
FOR ROAOWAYS
PLAIN TALK BY PLAIN FARMER
ON ADVANTAGES TO BE GAIN
ED BY IMPROVING CON-
DITIONS OF HIGHWAYS.

You are reasoning in a circle, my
friend, when you ought to cut cross
lots"
Thus did 81 Hawkins, a plain, un-
tutored, but h~ard-headed farmer,
puncture the labored philosophy of a
high-bowed, exponent of domestic
economics. who had just climaxed an
adddess to a gathering of farmers
with the statement THAT the cause
of high prices and the high cost of
living is freight rates, and the cure
is a reduction of rates"
81 am only a plain farmer con-
tinued Hawkins, "but l, too, have
given the high cost of living some
thought; not, however, in a rocking
chair in a richly furnished study, but
in a lumber wagon up to the hubs in
mud, and while walking between the
handles of a pillow. That is the college
in which / matriculated and learned
what / know of economics.
Before this, /, too, had formed
some opinions from garnished sophis-
try which l found in books and
speeches by theorists and office-seek-
ing politicians, but it was hauling
half a load of hogs to market the
other day over a road neck-deep in
mud that made me realize there were
other things than freight rates in
volved in the high cost of living. !
had a case of eggs at my feet on one
side and a tub of butter on the other,
both bringing such good prices that
mother-bless her dear heart, she
looks better in calico than other
other women in silks-cautioned me
against reckless driving.
"a new idea came to me. 1t was
that by giving the consumer the ben
eft of the waste that attaches to ex-
listing methods and conditions we
could by this alone greatly reduce
the cost of living.
Result of Figuring.
THAT set me to figuring. 1t took
me a whole day with a team and wag-
on to haul 1900 pounds of hogs the
ten miles l had to go. At the rate
of $3.50 per day for team and driver,
I easily ascertained that the wagon
haul without allowing anything for
team repairs or keeping Of myself
and team, was costing 46 cents a ton
per mile. Great heavens. that was
over sixty-one times more than the
average charge a ton per mile by the
railroads, as shown by the reports OF
the interstate commerce commission,
and yet everybody seeking to reduce
the high cost of living was bitterly
inveighing against railroad rates and
blindly marching behind leaders to
that end. When roads were not
muddy, I hauled $500 pounds to a
load, and yet that was 2S cents a ton
per mile, or over thirty-seven times
more than the average charge by the
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1911-08-27

railroads. The reports of the in
terstate commerce commission show
ed that the average cost by railroad
was q of l cent a ton per mile.
What Pennsylvania Has Done.
I'm a pamphlet issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. l read that
the farmers of several states, partic-
ularly the farmers of Pennsylvania,
by the construction of good roads,
had doubled their wagon loads and
thereby decreased the cost of wagon
transportation SO per cent. That
meant on poor roads a saving of
% cents a ton per mile, and on the
dry roads basis a saving of IA cents
a ton per mile.
when / realized that this enor-
nous waste applied 10 all the great
farm crops of this great country
for every pound or ton of surplus
farm pdoducts must be moved by
wagon to the cars or elevators at the
railway station was staggered,
first. at the enormous waste, and
second, at the stupidity of s~o-called
economic philosophy. 1t cost me
$3.50 to haul 1900 pounds, whereas
with good roads l sould haul 5000
pounds at the same cost, showing
very clearly to me that on that wagon
haul | had a clean waste and loss of
rs per cent. The average amount l
would have to pay the railroad for
hauling the same load the same dis
lance is less than 6 cents. In other
words, for what it cost me $3.50 the
railroads do it for less than 6 cents
and the average amount the rail-
road charges me is actually less than
3 cents of the amount that is wasted
in the wagon haul.
81 got S1-3 cents a pound for
my hogs that day, 2S cents for the
butter and 25 cents a dozen for the
eggs. When l computed the cost of
wagon haul on my hogs and ascer-
tanned that it was 2 1-3 cents a
pound, and when just before going
home l stopped at the meat market
and paid the butcher So cents for
two pounds of the pork, which but a
few hours before l had sold him for
16 2-3 cents, I easily concluded that
the primary Il in respect to the
high cost of living was clearly n of
great waste.
There may be other elements of
waste / have failed to mention, but
unlike the curbstone philosopher, l
do not pretend I know it all and /
simply want to remind my high
browed friend that If he desires to eff
feet a practical solution of this prob
lem, he may we'll set aside academi-
cally garnished sophistry and turn to

roads, expensive wagon trans

These may be e phases of

Thomas A. Edison, whom
many people believe to be the
greatest man living, has been at
the White House during the
week, and he told the president
that he had coupled up the mov-
ing picture with the phonograph,
as his latest invention. This, he
told the president, would make
it possible for a public speaker
or singer to appear before the
people without making long and
uncomfortable journeys. with
this machine, said Mr.. Edison,
the audience not only sees the
gesture of the speaker, but hears
his voice. Its use in a campaign
cannot be overestimated.
While here Mr.. Edison expressed
the belief that electricity would
in time become the great motor
power, and he predicted that
steam, with its demand for
space and weight of coal, would
pass from use.

he will not be a candidate under

great disappointment to many of
his enthusiastic admirers. and
the hopes of both the regular
and progressive republicans,
who were looking to Teddy to

IL shows that the committee will
limit its activities to a selection
of convention city, the election
of a subcommittee to make pre-
parations for the convention, and
probably to vote on the two pro.
positions backed by Senator
Bourne. These are, first, the
question of presidential primaries,
and, second, a representation OF
states in the convention proper
tionate to the size of the total
vote cast by any state in the last
national convention. The two
propositions will be presented to
the committee, it is understood,
by Alfred. T. Rogers, the COM
mitteeman from Wisconsin. The
committee has been gone over
carefully by friends of President
Taft, and it is understood that
only three membere are hostile
to the president. These are
Rogers, Of Wisconsin, Thomas
Thorson, of South Dakota, and
probably Borah, of Idaho. Il
appears that the committee will
report against presidential pri.
maries. Enough of the mem.
bers have been seen to make g

to be in the lead as a candidate
