Steam and electricity have, to a
great extent, eliminated time and dis
lance. This elimination of time and
distance between the producer and
consumer should keep pace with the
advancement of science and its APP
plication to practical methods.
The producer and consumer (The
farmer and factory worker) and
again, the producer and consumer
(The coalminer and the farmer should
cooperate to lessen the difference be-
tween the price paid to the producer
and the price paid by the consumer.
These two classes-the one largely
in the east and the other as largely
in the west of our great country

Farmers, as a rule, believe in CO.

mers' elevators, cooperative cream
cries, and the large number of far
mers who cooperate in tho Grange

combined efforts to simply selling
your products OF buying your sup

together so far why not seek further

The farmer Is not the only one
interested in farm products. The

Yes, to-day, they are. The inter
as+s Of each seem to be opposed to
the interests of the other. The great
majority of producers is in the west,
while the large majority OF the con-
sumers is in the east. This distance
between prevents them from under
standing each others rights and

The producer and consumer should

Why should these two classes con-
tinue to antagonize each other? BY
such competition they permit the few
controllers of traffic to continue the
piling up of dividends.
Neither of these classes object to
building railroads or mills or fac

they do object to being forced to con

his proposed measure:
""This measure would do more 10
solve the cost-of-l!ving question than
any other. Our whole transport sys-
TEN makes no provision for the small
shipment. We have provision for
wholesale, not for retail, trans
potratior. Yet the things the farm
produces are finally sold In small retail
lots. and the things it buys are main
ly bought in retail lots. How many
consumers buy 100 pounds Of butter. or
ten cases Of eggs. in a lot? The con-
sumner wants three pounds of butter
and one dozen eggs at time. We have
transportation facilities and rates adj
iusted to the purpose of moving the
pound or 100-ton shipment. but not
the three pound one. Now note the
result Of that system:
"'Our trouble is that neither the
producer nor the consumer deals in
wholesale lots. In order to utilize the
wholesale transportation facilities.
there must be middiemen in the coun-
try to gather together these small lots.

"'see what that docs. a farmer
doesn't have 10 crates of eggs; If he
saved up till he had. they'd spoil on his
hands But he has few dozen fresh
ones day. He puts them in a little
case. directs them to his customer in
town. and puts on a red stamp for.
say. 10 cents. That red stamp contains
a blank space in which he writes the
G. o. D. amount that is to be paid by
the consignee. and the postoffice brings
brack the amount TO him next day. Or,
he may put on a blue stamp. which
means no collection is to be made.
That is the way 1t would work."
