RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY:
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products Of Plo~ and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should De
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 appAca,
ton of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances OF President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfa-e of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an Improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to him,
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines Of Least Resist
ance.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vltals out Of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as result, the products
of the pillow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate of
any necessary commodity in COM
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as whole is out of pro-
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates. but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
further toll upon the products of
the pillow. The 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
on staple farm products

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes a
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 he
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that 1t 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
hoss remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase. for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
Dy raising his own meat, and a 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 blows
remain the same, and machinery
pianos and such articles as the moor.
er farmer cannot hope to possess hear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who 1ivas
at home will bear no part of the bur.
Den, but let the farmer who hoards
IN otner states and countries and
who feeds his stock in FOREIGN ~
pay the price of his folly.

IF HAIR IS TURNING

Recipe to Darsen and Beauty
Gray, Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took ON
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for ':Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dam
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A wellknown druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb Or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv
