The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1914-01-01

The Legislators of the coming
General Assembly in mapping
out plans of proceedings, have
never, to our knowledge, lnclud-
ed bill to cut railroad passan.
Ser rates from 3 cents to 2 cents
per mile. What IA saving this
would be to our people if We had
ouch law. The Times is the
only paper in the State agitating
. two-cent mile rate. This is
why the people are not clamor
ing for it. This has no effect on
the Times, we are for the right
thing, though we stand alone.
Many other States have a two
cent rate, why not Kentucky?
When the Legislature cOnvenes
and fails to pass such a law they
are equal to allowing the rail-
roads of the State to confiscate
so cents of the travellers hard
earned cash every time they earn
81 justly. This is too biga swim
die for our State Legislature to
participate in by an omission of
= sacred duty to Kentucky citi-
zens. If the people of the State
would send petition to their
representatives, asking them to
help pass such law, it might
do some good.
The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1914-01-01

Let us take courage when we
think of the probability of law
being passed by the incoming
Legislature which will give us
State And for roads. A feature
should be incorporated in the bill
to the effect that the citizens of
any county, if such county fails
to take advantage of the State
Aid, may form club and by
putting up a sum of money or
guaranteed labor, NAV secure
from the State sum equal to
what the citizens subscribe, pro
vided, of course, that the amount
so allotted shall not exceed what
the county itself would be emit
tied to. We think this should
be a part of the law for the ben
eft of some progressive persons
who may happen to live in coun-
ties that will not vote bonds to
build pixies.

While far from being what We
would have it, Christmas was
more soberly spent than usual,
though to be sure there was much
liquor consumed by those accus-
toned to its use. 1t was, how

provement over former years

manship enacted within the last
forty years. Under the wise pro-
visions of this bill there will new
er be another financial panic such
as we had under Roosevelt in
1907 and under Cleveland (Which
he inherited from Pres. Harri-
son) in 1898. In other words
this bill will make money easy
aud plentiful everywhere. When
ever a banker has loaned all the
money to the businessmen of
It's community that itscan spare,
and still has calls for more loans,
the bank can take the stocks,
bonds and mortgages and other
first-class securities and turn
them over to the Government re-
gional bank and get more money
with which to accommodate Its
borrowers. 1t is this element in
the bill which will render our
currency elastic so that it will
expand automatically in accord
ance with the requirements of
business in every state and coun-
ty of the United States.

by the United States Department of
Agriculture, in discussing this subject,
said:
'"The high price paid by consumers
ranging from s to 500 per cent, in
rome cases. more than the farmer re-
ceives, indicates that there is pIenty
of room for lowering the cost ";
farm products to consumers and at
the same time largely increasing the
cash income per farm. without in
creasing farm production. This ccndi-
tion is undoubtedly marketing prob
lem which will have to be soIved by
better organization of farmers and
improved methods Of marketing"
Large Shippers Influence Rates.
In railroad rates the inequalities
are equally as glaring. Rate making
in it's primitive stages was largely
influenced by demands and arguments
of large shippers, but the farmers
we're unorganized and seldom ap-
peared before rate-making bodies. and
the burden of expense in transporta-
tion lies largely against the raw
products of the farm.
In banking, our securities are dis
criminated against, as compared with
the products Of the factories and
mines. The farmer is entitled to a
square deal. The farmer is more in
terested in good prices and efficient
service than he is in rates.

RAILROADS WILL
HELP THE FARMER
Common Carriers VIII Cooperate In
Marketing Farm Products-Middle
Men Charge Higher Rates
for Handling Farm Than
Factory Products.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


The leading railroad systems of the
nation will establish market bureaus
to assist the farmers along their
tines in marketing their products.
Many roads have acceded to the re-
quest of the Farmers Union and an
nounced their willingness to enter
into active cooperation with the far
mers in marketing their products.
The express companies have sur
veyed the field and the Federal Gov
ernment, through the parcel post.
has demonstrated the possibilities OF
the common carrier as useful agency
in marketing farm commodities.
consider the action of these giant
business concerns in determining to
cooperate with the farmers in mar
keting their crops, to be the greatest
product of human thought on the
Western hemisphere during the past
year, and 1t demonstrates that the
educational work of the Farmers
Union has brought the nation to
clearer understanding OF the real
problem of the farmer.
To give information on marketing
Is far more valuable than to give
advice on production. There is a mu-
tual interest between the railroads
and the farmer which cannot exist
between any other lines of industry.
The railrold are the teamsters of
agriculture, ard they are employed
only when there is something to haul.
Good prices will do more to increase
tonnage than any other factor, and
railroads want tonnage.
Agriculture has many inherent dis
advantages which require combined
effort to overcome in marketing.
There are millions of producing units
working independently and selling
without knowledge of market condi-
uons. The harvest is once year,
while consumption is pretty even
ly distributed throughout the entire
year, and most of the farmers,
through custom and necessity, dump
their entire crop on the market as
soon as it is gathered. The problem
Of organizing ard systematizing the
markets is one in which the farmers
invite assistance Of all lines of in
dustry friendly to their interests.
Farmers Bear the Burden.
The business of the manufacturer
lends itself more readily to orsaniza-
ton and the facilities for studying the
markets are more easily available. The
result is that the merchants are COM
