FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products Of Piow ard Farmer Who
Lives at tione Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
by Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union


The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification Of territory; the applica-
tion of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase In
rates, and the utterances of Pre-ident
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this natio face to face with the
problem Of an increase in freight
rates. It is the policy OF the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfice of the farmers squarely and
we will dc so IN this instance.
The transportation facilities OF the
United States are inadequate to ef-
fectively meet the demands Of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West cdditional railway mileags
is needed 10 accommodate the move
ment OF sarm products. II In the wis
dom OF oar RGilroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an exten-
sion OF our mileage, then an increase
should he granted. and the farmer IN
willing TO share ouch proportion Of
the increase aa Justly belongs to him,
but we have sclIe ST. ssesticns to make
as to the ma"n''n N which this ,dn-
crease shall be .c,I.u.

products as whole is out of pro-

the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission viii be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without leyying
a further toll upon the products of
the plow. Tho Instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes
basis for rate making and have never
heard OF anyone who did claim to
know much about it, but If the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
hogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and q farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and -four. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of Increase.
The increase in rates should be 80
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part Of the bur-
den, but let the farmer who boards
in other states and countries and
who feeds his, stock in foreign lands,
pay therprice of his folly.

Miners Federation Moves
to Quash Special Jury
Conspiracy Indictment

HOUGHTON. Mich, Jan. 26.-A mo-
ton to quash the conspiracy indict-
ment returned by the special grand
jury against striking copper miners
and officials of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners was filed today when
the accused men were arraigned for
trial in the Houghton Circuit Court.
Counsel for the defendants attacked
the legality of the grand jury and its
methods of elaboration. 1t was con-
tneded that the grand jury was illeg-
ally summoned and called, and, there
fore, illegally served; that its DELHI
erations were not conducted in secret,
as required by law, and that the ap-
pointment of George E. Nichols as
special prosecuting officer was void
because no showing had been made
authorizing such appointment or
claiming the want of capacity on the
part of the duly elected prosecutor.
Governor w. N. Ferris, of Michi-
gan, Grant Fellows. attorney general;
Special Prosecutor Nichols and three
stenographers were named as persons
present who were mot by law author
lied to take part in the deliberations
of the jury"

Market Committee Plans
to End CrOwding of Farm
Wagons in Parking Space

Members of the committee on public
markets of the Common Council of
which Alderman John F. Fitzsimmons
is chairman, admit they are puzzled
about what will be done to take care
of the farm wagons that ensemble
every day on the square now being
torn up preparatory to the work OF
constructing a new market and for
merly used by the farmers for the sale
of their produce.
Many plans have been suggested for
taking care Of the farmers, but as yet
none has been adopted. The question
will be threshed out thoroughly at a
meeting of the committee week from
tomorrow night.
A story originating in Harrison is
to the effect that farmers will trans
fer their activities to that town, and
reports to other suburbs are TO the
same effect
In speaking of the matter today
Alderman Fitzsimmons, chairman of
the committee, said:
"0f course, the members of the COM
mittee realize that some provision
must be made for the farmer. but just
what we shall do is uncertain. How
ever, it may be that we shall utilize
vacant property temporarily to rem
edy the situation

STATE TAX BOARD
TO HEAR APPEALS
Broad Street Property Assess
ment Protests Before Com
missioners Wednesday.

The State Board of Equalization Of
Taxes will meet at the City Hall
Wednesday to hear the appeals from
1912 assessments of the Progressive
Investment Company, the Broad
Street Realty and Improvement
Company, the Mercantile Realty and
Improvement Company and the Ger
man Savings Bank.
The properties on which the ap-
peals were taken are all on the east
side of Broad street. within a few
hundred feet of Market street, and
had the assessments raised in 1912
after the plant of the Prudential In
surance Company that the assess
ment on its property was out of
proportion to the values of other
Broad street realty. The hearing Of
the appeals has been postponed nu-
given notice that no more delay will
be allowed.
Incidental to the hearing of the 1912
appeals by the State board the Coun-
ty Board of Taxation has affirmed
the same assessments for 1918. All
the protesters, save the German Saw
ings Bank, had filed appeals from
this years valuations. The Broad
Street Realty and Improvement Com
pany stated in its petition that 1t had
paid its tax under protest. The. build
ing owned by them at TIA Broad
street was valued at s95, 700, and they
sought a reduction to $4,000.
The Mercantile Realty and I'm
provement Company likewise paid
under protest on its assessment of
$4,000 on 776-77S Broad street. A
cut to 1929, 900 was asked in their APP
peal. The Progressive Investment
Company wanted a decrease from
s552, 900 to S452, 900 on the land at 500
S04 Broad street, on which an Office
building stands.

ONLY
ATTACKED IN BILLS
President Makes Clear Purpose
in Legislation on Holding
Companies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Nothing
| in President Wilson's trust legisla
ton program against holding COM
panies will be intended to bar any
thing that Is not in nature and spirit
monopoly. President Wilson today
indicated this, when. discussing the
situation. it was pointed out that a
sweeping prohibition of holding COM
panfes would naturally affect con-
Germs which had been required to or
ganize subsidiary companies to COM
ply with certain State laws.
The President let it be known that
where such a business was being
carried on by practically the same
corporation there would be no re-
striction on it. He emphasized as the
governing principle in the whole
question that corporations organized
and merged with others for purposes
of monopoly OF restraint Of trade
would be clearly barred and that
those which obviously did not inter
fere with interstate commerce would
be let alone.
The purpose of the administration
would be, the President declared, to
let things grow that grew naturally
and legitimately. With respect TO the
proposed Interstate Trade Commits
sion, the President cleared up various
impressions of 1t by saying 1t would
not be an administrative body, but
one of publicity and information. He
said il would have no possible con-
flict with any other department of the
government because it would not have
the right to act in the field of any
other constituted authority.
The President does not believe the
commission should give publicity to
the legitimate methods of business of
any concern of which rivals might |
take advantage.

ED|SON|A TRUSTEE
DEFENDS ACTIONS
Frank w. Long Says Slow Ad-
n1inistration Was Due to
Lack of Cooperation.

In a preliminary report now filed
in the bankruptcy court, Frank w.
Long. trustee for the bankrupt Edi-
sonia Company. defends himself from
the criticism to which he was recently
subjected. The criticism was based
On the slow administration OF the
Edisonia estate and the lack OF pros
ecution of possible guilty parties
THE trustee. declares that the court
would not allow him to use the money
in his hands for the purpose OF oe,
fraving the expenses OF criminal
prosecution against any member OF
he Arm who may be criminally guilty
FOR allowing a duplication of leases
ar for the expenses of an audit OF the
firms books. o5
Mt Long points out that the cred
i,ore who have been imposed on py
+ha duplication of leases nave peen
d sit ed by the court to institute
criminal proceedings. They seem I'M
x1iIling to do this, however.
Mr. Long declares that II the trus-
Tee had been permitted TO coiiect on
the outstanding leases much OIL tue
or0eose and time would not nave
,,oan wasted. He declares the delay
hos heen caused by the creditors
theroselves, most of whom tried to es-
tablish absolute title to the leases
thew held as security and insisted on
,naking collections for themselves.
he declares, was en-
tirely lacking: .to eoo+
4ta+ when he finally secured the right
to make collections he had to or
