ernor oI Missouri, is before the people
OF the entire nation in All important
role. The administration Of the affair
Of the New Haven railroad lines has
been OF very great interest 10 the pub
lie for several years.
Now We are having the pleasure or
the unpleasant privilege of knowing
all about H. The man who has done
much 10 make that possible is the man
who also started the widespread graft
reforms OF the United States. The
value OF the present work of Mr.. Folk
is that II will serve d a guide 10 rail
road regulation and legislation. Also
it confirms the suspicious of men-

We're known "a muckrakers few

WHY ALWAYS THE FARMERS!

Farmers and business men who are
Immediately Interested i'll agricultural
interests ought To protest the dropping
vi the rural credits bill for this session
OF Congress. As farmers are by nature
OF their business difficult to organize
and have little concerted action, the
legislative traffic becomes heavy.
There seems to be little sense OF
turn about is fair play" Nearly al
ways il is the farmers who are dropped
off at the switch. They are the ones
dropped because legislators fear their
anger the least.
Ii is not that the farmers are unim-
portant that they are least feared.
They are in fact one OF the very most
important elements in the financial
welfare of the country. In point of
size farming is the most important
business in the country. Moreover it
has been well established that much
of the high cost Of living Is due to
neglect of the farming interests. Ii is
argued that the rural-credits bill
would have gone far toward making
farmers and farms more efficient.
This matter is equally important
with any of the trust legislation being
considered in its place. 1t has already
been delayed long time.
If pressure were brought to bear
by the farmers and business men who
are closely related to them, Congress
would get to work To solve the import
ant problem Of agricultural finance.
