4 NATIONAL MARKET BUREAU.

I'm n letter to Senator HOkc Smith. Of
Georgia, b. Il. lOakum Of the Frisco kall-
tav system. has presented some facts and
satisfies that point the way to the solu-
ion of the problem Of reducing the high
-0St Of living. at least in part. Mr.. Q
GUMS plan yitalizeS the parcel post and
upplicS the one thing necessary to make
i, an effective medium.
On the basis If 4 $1,000. 000.00 o crop Of
which it is estimated that Onc-third re
rains on the farm. Mr.. Goakum gives
cures which fairly represent the distrl-
rution Of the profits. lie points out that
il the crop is worth $4,000. 100000 and
onr-third remains on the farm. $6,000, 900
100 worth Of products are actually sold
IN the farmer, the consumers paying $l3.-
eco or more than twice as much as the
farmer receives.
Using the estimate Of the Department
+ Agriculture that farmers receive only
rs per cent of what the consumers pay
Ir. N0akum asserts that the distribution
r profits and expenses is abuOt as fol-
lows:
Received by the producers, fG,000,-
000,00O. or lG.l per cent.
Allowing for a reasonable expense
Of selling ANA dealers and retailers

Received by the railroads. $l95,-
000.GCG, or BIS per cent.
Total, $4,000, 600 00O.
Ii is true. as Mr.. YOakum SAYS. that
MP to the present time the government
has done nothing in ! practical way to
Nd i'll reducing the cost Of distribution,
although. conservativcly estimated. there
is iii annual loss of about $l.JG0,0 600
which could be divided between the con
SumerS and the producers.
The remedy suggested by the railroad
is I national market bureau under
the Department Of Agriculture, with
an annual appropriation of 100000 for
the establishment of Il system of market
reports. cutting out unnecessary OK
penscS between the producer and the cOn-
and cooperating with agricultural
organizations. The bureau of markets
should have Offices in different a%gricul-
states, where. though associations
Of agricultural bodies. market prices
be furnished TO the farmers of the
localities daily during their re-
spectivc shipping seasons.
The best part0of Mr. Yoakum'S plan is
hat it would enable farmers and consum-
RS to take full advantage of the parcel
'ost, each class being aware of the prices
hat should prevail. The ultimate out
would be the elimination of the mid
llemen. The reason why the consumer
}avs so much now is because farm prod

The Lesson of "Within the Law
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

the canker of Greed and Indif-
ference to the great Natural Law
of Right, which should ever pre-
vail between man and man, has
been eating away at the heart
of human joy and human good.
The Main Thing.
If you can only get wealth and
power. it makes no difference
now you get them, they will make
you a "big one" and that is the
main thing.
If you are only orthodox in
religion, then fig for such idle
questions as Us this orthodoxy
true or false?" Does 1t emanci-
pate and uplift the mind or en-
slave and degrade it? Is It a
blessing or a curse?
If the outside of things is all
right no matter about the inside.
Keep up the Appearances Make
a good bluff. Be a hypocrite,
and act your part so damnaby
fine that no one will be able to
catch on to the game.
Such are the thoughts that
range through ones mind as he
witnesses the powerful drama Of
within the Law"
1t is a wide-reaching, lynx eyed,
all-searching, remorseless inqui-
sition, that drags out into the
light of day, and mercilessly
nays. the double dealing, insin-
certify and cold blooded selfish
ness and brutality of institution
al society.
1t shows us what a terrible
thing it is for a man to forget
the right Of his fellowmen. 1t
makes us feel how supremely
necessary 1t is that we should
all feel a loving interest in one
another, and be willing-gladly,
Joyfully willing-to find our hap
piness in the happiness of 9TH
ers, If possible, in the happiness
of all. 1t makes us ashamed Of
the shark toothed greed which
gloats over the gain that in
wolves the misery and ruin Of
other human beings. 1t makes
us hate with all our heart the
suave, oily, decorous hypocrisy
that prates of good while it is
working evil and that in its
fiawless livery of heaven is do
ing what it can to turn earth into
hell.

A Science Question

~ II is thouSnt that IN space
eternal cold and dark
X ness prevail. What, then,
is the explanation of the fact that
both light and heat from the sun,
some 9O,00O0,O00 miles away, in
cold space, reach the earth?
A. Heat and light as such 90
not reach the earth from our own
and 1O0.O00,O00 more suns. Ra-
diant energy is transmitted by
undulations or waves in electrons,
which energy is In the form of
waves of varying lengths and am
plitudes. When some of these
energy impulses impinge on mat
ter able to receive and appropri-
ate them, heat and light result.
Many molecules in many thou
sands Of kind of matter are able
to translate energy waves into
heat, while others are translated
as light on the retiua of the eye
and in the brain. But no heat
or light develops until the waves
strike forms Of matter fitted to
receive, appropriate and trans
late. Thus energy will pass
through a burning glass" made
OF Ice, converge To a focus, and
set light objects on fire.

labor. Last year eleven thousand
families were under the care of
the Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor. This is
but one of the large private char
table organizations in that city"
Again Mr.. King says: Il per-
sonally have looked over the his
tories of many of these families,
and l can assure you it is difficult
to find a single case in which the
father or the mother, and usu-
ally both, did not go to work at
an early age"
Here is what one Investigator
says about a certain mill:
THE machinery in the mill
starts at $50 every morning, and
pressure is brought to bear upon
the workers to see that they are
there when the machinery begins.
The time is counted from O'clock
only. A half hour is counted out
at dinner time, but the maChin-
cry goes right on, and many of
the workers stay. The shop closes
at $50, after it has been running
twelve hours.
"At o'clock it begins again,
and works till 9. This Is con-
tinued for five nights of the week,
and any of>the workers who will
return are permitted to work. Mr..
Massey told me there were no vio-
lations of the law in his mill. He
seemed to think an emergency
gave him the right to work seven
ty-five hours per week. In reality
he was working eighty hours, for
many of the people worked fif-
teen hours for five days and five
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-29

hours on Saturday. He said he
believed child labor morally
wrong and uneconomical."
Is it not time that the intelli-
gent and humane hearted people
of America combined in one great
body of PROTEST?
If every woman, and every
churchman, of no matter what
creed or belief, should unite in
one vast organization and march
through the land, demanding the
adjustment of child labor 1T
WOULD HAVE TO COME!
If such an organization would
form and fix upon a certain half
hour of every day for united
prayer, asking the Unseed Forces
of the Universe to give them pow
er to abolish Child Labor, IT
WOULD COME!
Remember what came when the
people of France COMBINED IN
ONE TREMENDOUS PRO-
TEST!
There is land enough and mon
ey enough in our vast, opulent
country to give homes and COM
fort to every adult human being,
and to give sun and air and free
dom to every child.
If we want to save our land
from certain destruction and our
rising generation from poverty,
sickness and despair, we must
rescue our little children and
send them out to play.
Let our churches and our hui
name organizations begin united
campaign of Protest against Child
Labor.
