Cooperation the Remedy.

The Farmers Union has urged the
producer and the consumer to coop
crate through the parcels post and
express companies as first aid to the
present difficulty, but the problem of
marketing farm products is a monu-
mental one and its complete solu-
ton lies in the farmer owning or con-
trolling cold storage plants, warehous-
es and proper equipment for holding
his surplus until there is a market. de-
mand. So long as the. storage facil-
tiles are in the hands of the middle
man, there will be artificial manip-
ulation Of prices and the producer
and consumer will become joint vic
tins of his avarice.
It was a sad day for the farmer of
this nation when they shut the cellar
door, closed the smokehouse and tore
down their granaries and turned their
warehouses over to private enter
-prises, making it possible for trusts
and combines to feast, fatten and
gamble upon their products. We
should build cooperative storage
plants, warehouses, elevators, cream
cries, etc., and to do so will require a
system of cooperative laws adapted
to the business of farming and in the
transaction from individual to com
munity effort we will need the sup
port of government and the Oc-opera-
ton of all agencies that are friendly
to the farmer In another article
shall go more fully into, details on
this feature of the subject.

Too Many Investigators.

The business affairs of this nation
are bed-ridden with investigations. 1t
is the consumers fad to investigate
everything and everybody and call
anything crime that does not con-
tribute towards lowering prices.
Commissions composed of distin-
guished citizens are given high sound
ing titles and: sent out to search the
sewers of business, and amid ire
mendous applause of the public they
flash upon the canvas frailties of our
system of distribution that have been
known to exist, ever since we have
had system. These commissions,
after discovering the same old contin-
ents of error, file their reports and
sail away and are never heard of
again. IL the government really wants
to render a genuine service to the
farmer, why not quit talking and get
down to BUSINESS?

cents was the high water mark in av-

The transportation rate would no. ex-
coed five cents per dozen, and the gap
between the amount paid the produc-

and the price paid by the consumer

Producers Want Only Fair Prices.

The consumer destroys wealth; the
producer creates it. Any investiga-
| ton or study of our economical prob
lens must be approaced from the
standpoint of the producer before a
solution can be found We can only
build our civilization through the pro-
! Queer. If we follow the consumer,
destruction lies in our pathway
The producer is the most capable
and the only universal citizen in CIV
| ilization. He cannot help himself
without helping all mankind. The ell
ement of shelfishness that dominates
every other class of industry is i'm
possible in his business. The produc-
er really has more to fear from in
fiated prices of his product than the
consumer, for high prices will inevita-
| bly, result in an increase in produc-
ton and will automatically lower the
price ofttimes below the cost of pro-
duction and jeoperdize the very life
of the industry. The interests of the
producer are antagonistic to exorbi-
! family high prices and likewise the
best interests of the consumer are
hostile to abnormally low prices.
The price should be one that the
farmer can afford to raise the stuff
and the consumer afford to buy it.
We are a government by consum-
ers and for consumers, and our laws
and customs conform to his require
ments, and as long as this condition
| prevails there will always, be strife
and rebellion due to the incompetency
of our economic system.

The Consumer Not The Whole Thin

The consumer should not be taken
too seriously; he is always complain
ing. Many times he has called King
Cotton a tyrant, has rebelled against
the steer and the hog, and in muffin
GUS moods, he has refused to eat
bread, but his seditions do not last
long. Responding to the wall of the
consumer, the Federal Department of
Justice investigated the hen as un-
tremendously as though she were a
Wall Street millionaire; the house
wife has rallied at her and passed res
olutions questioning her business in
tegrity and the press has carried SEN
sational stories accusing her majesty
of disloyalty to. her subjects, until the
friends of the hen have cried out
God Save the Queen When the
consumer raised a howl, the entire
machinery of government is set in
motion and the power of the press
rushes to the rescue. Theconsumer
is a great talker, but he is not the
whole thing, and what he has to say
should be taken with grain of salt.

this city to deliver one address.
Those who are most interested in
hearing Sunday again are thinking of
going to Des Moines perhaps next
week or the week after and inviting
sunday to come here on one of the
Monday nights while he is in Des

the invitation. but it has sometimes
been his custom to accept invitations
for Monday addresses at other places
While engaged in evangelistic cam
paigns.
a letter was written Sunday while
he was at Denver, asking him if he
would come here for one meeting While
in Des Moines. Rev. Mr.. Sunday re-
piled that he would not say at that
time. but to take the matter up with
him again when he had reached Des
