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 II the pros
perity Of the farm is 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
nogs 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 farm
er who will not try to raise his owl
meat ought to be penalized. WI
think the rate on coal and brick cal
! much better bear an increase thai
the rate on cotton and -four. W.
. would prefer that the rate on plow
remain the same, and machinery
pianos and such articles as the pool
er farmer cannot hope to possess bea
the burden Of increase.
The increase In rates should be $
arranged that the farmer who live
at home win bear no part Of the bu
den, but let the farmer who board
J in other states and countries an
4 who feeds his stock in foreign land
pay the price Of his folly.

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 appllca
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. 1t is the policy OF the Farmers
Unioh to meet the issues affecting the
welfare OF the farmers squarely and
we will do 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 additional railway mileage
ss needed 10 accommodate the move
M at of farm products. II in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions al
increase ir freight rates is necessar.

transportation service, and an exter

should be granted. and the farmer
willing to share such proportion 9
the increase as justly belongs to hin
but we have some suggestions to max
as to the manner in which this II
crease shall be levied.

WHEN TT WILL END.

w David Starr Jordan is quoted predicting the end
of the European in five months through exhaustion
of the nations involved We will all hope this will prove
true but it appears improbable 1t looks though in that
time Turkey would be driven out of Europe Germany out
of France and Belgium and Hungary be forced to
give way to the Russians
But when 70,000,000 Germans fighting on their
soil against invasion from all the points Of the
pass there probably will be just such struggle the
South made in defense of Richmond, with surrender
until absolute starvation is present 1t does not
possible that that condition be brought about in five
months.
And yet the forces moving against Germany
growing greater all the time The spring campaigns
about open Italy and the Balkans and possibly Greece
and Holland, will soon be in the great

nurses volunteered to nurse him, but
it was too late. Before their arrival
he was nurscd by nobody except lit
tie Serbian maidservant, and last Fri
day night he escaped in delirium--
there was nobody to look after him
and was later found lying on the mud
dy road in the bitter cold.
SO terrible have been the results
of this overcrowding that it seems
doubtful whether in the long run more
lives may not be lost than gained by
attempting the impossible. Had hos
pitfalls now containing 300 men refused
admission to more than 100 and taken
every precaution that experience and
science furnished against dirt and
vermin and polluted air the results
actually achieved by medical effort
might have been better. But what
Of the 200 men excluded? No man,
doctor or layman, can leave a help
less soldier lying in the street.
In Heavens name, let something be
done soon, for if the almost inevitable
cholera of the warmer months falls
upon us under existing conditions the
prospect before US is indeed frightful.

Looking the work of the present session of the
California legislature there is considerable evidence that
the great Of reform led by Governor johnson has
subsidized Non partisan elections is the really notable
question that has challenged public interest and speak
ing frankly, that is highly experimental.
1t will be noted that the reformation which Governor
johnson has led has been political lines rather than
moral issues chief of which relates to the liquor traffic.

must be worked out to solve this great problem.

ish Red Cross Society
Nish, Serbia, April Here is the
picture of an Austrian prisoners
camp. This is not hospital, remem-
ber, but simply an area where $50
Austrians have been collected. Never
theless disease has fallen like blight
upon the camp. At an earlier date
one doctor was in charge of this camp,
but he is now struck down by typhus.
Typhus, dysentery, smallpox, diph-
iberia, have swept over the place. Last
week only 20 men out of $50 could
respond.
There they lie in utter wretched-
ness. The bulk of the sick men are
stretched out on the muddy ground.
Their clothes are foul and alive with
the vermin which spread the deadly
typhus. The silence of the camp is
broken only by sighs and groans, but
when a stranger comes in sight the
sick raise themselves on their elbows,
if they can, and cry pitifully:
"For the love of God, lady, give us
water"
a recent visitor noticed number
of recumbent forms covered with
great coats, and found on removing
these that 5 out of the number were
already dead and had been dead fo,
several days. There was nobody to
remove the corpses Here and there
some poor wretch crawled about on
his hands and knees to fetch a cup Of
water to PROSTATE comrade. This
was all the "attcndance' which was
visible, and the shocking condition OF
the men and the ground on which they
lie can be imagined.
Can anyone be surprised to learn
that some 60 men die in this camp
every day.
Here is an English hospital which
has tried to do the impossible and
failed. Six doctors and II orderies-
they had no nuses-took over the
control Of some 1900 sick and wound
ed. They have fought a gallant fight
against terrific odds, but typhus has
beaten them. At this moment two or
derlies are dead, three have been in.
vallded home and three are now laid
lew by typhus; two doctors are suf-
fering from the same disease and one
has gone home. Three doctors and
three orderles arc all that remain on
the active list, and the work of the
hospital had pelforcc to be tenn
porarlly abandoned. What could six
doctors do with 1900 men?
Worse still are the conditions under
which the Serbian doctors have la
bored. The poor Austrian prisoners
the only assistants the doctors have
there arc no Serbian nurses-do their
best, but they are not trained order
lies. Take a large Serbian hospital
which ! knew. 1t is practically impos-
slble to 90 near it. So overpowerinp
IS the stencil in the street outside that
nobody who is not compelled TO ap-
proach the building can bear to be in
its vicinity.
Details of the interior cannot well
be printed, but may be conjectured
when one mentions that foul rags and
dressings and even portions of ampu-
tated limbs are thrown over wall
and left to the attention of crows
and magpies and parish dogs. Simi-
lar refuse has been thrown into the
river.
Since the commencement of the war
90 Serbian doctors have died in the
course of their unequal struggle with
disease. One young man Of %, a med

COST OF PORK PRODUCTION
IN ARKANSAS.

The Department of Bacterialogy
and Animal Pathology OF the Arkan-
sas Experiment Station was among
the first in the United States to man
ufacture anti-cholera hog serum to
check the rayages of cholera. But
unfortunately, the state has never
seen the great benefits of this serum
to the farmers and swine raisers and
the increased revenue it would bring,
to appropriate enough funds to make
it possible for every man in the state
to have his hogs innoculated against
cholera.
The Arkansas station proved by a
series of experiments that pork can
be produced on an Arkansas farm
with pasture crops such as peanuts,
peas, soy beans, rape, etc, with a
corn supplement for l 1-2 cents per
pound. SO far as we know, no 9TH
er state can boast of producing l 1-2
cent pork on the farm, and yet the
station not only produced the pork
at that small cost, but it told the
farmers just how to raise the animals.
These experiments have been cited
by investigators from every state in
the union, and thousands have been
benefited, and could the station have
had men and means of carrying this
message to the farmers, doubtless 1T
would have meant millions of dollars
in pork for Arkansas.

LABOR DOES NOT
FEAR PROHIBITION

There is no use in telling the la
bor men that prohibition will mean
unemployment. They know better.
Says the Labor News of Galveston
Illinois:
When the people quit spending a
billion dollars year Tor less than
nothing, then they will have money
to spend for necessities and there
will be jobs for everybody making
things worth while. Who would
think of putting up a wall for the
poor manufacturer and dealers in
coke or other drugs thrown out by
laws against that drug habit? Who
will defend the poor workers thrown
out of employment because of the
sumptuary law against burglary or
murder? 1t is the booze business
that fills our cities with unemployed
and send our girls to the devil. Kill
the thing which not only incapaci-
tates a man for work but robs him
of the money he might spend to
make work for others and the unem-
ployed problem will be largely
solved"

Indianapolis, Ind, March IL
Many and varied were the ways in
which men were manufactured tc

as related by government witnesses
yesterday in the trial of Mayor Dom
NJ. Roberts and 27 others. charged
with conspiring to corrupt the cleo

fed Walter Cordes, a clerk in the city
engineers office, telling of making
one registration application. Il

Harry Forebeck, another employe
in the city engineers office, told of
manufacturing about 200 men for
voters. He bore out Cordes state
ment that while the two were in the
room in the city hall making out reg
istration applications, Roberts knock
ed on the door and summoned Cor
Ides.
Both men, as did other city EN-
ployes, testified that they received
their orders from Edward Holler
then chief of police Cordes said
that Roberts told him to go to Holler
for instructions. Holler has pleaded
guilty. The witnesses identified
number of registration applications
as previously made out in their hand
writing. These previously had been
identified as part of the election rec
ords.
While COrdes was being cross-eX-
amined regarding the voters he had
manufactured, Congressman A o.

dicated that the defense might con-
tend that the cards from which the
applications We're made were part of

court yesterday afternoon when a
verdict was returned sustaining the
validity of the will Mrs. H. M.
Pranger of Clinton, Iowa, sister
of Wilson, had instituted proceed
Judge to break the will, the court
deciding the will was valid and ad-
mitting it to probate. An appeal
was taken to circuit court and an
effort was made to have the will set
aside on the grounds that Wilson
was not in his right mind when
he signed the document. Two days
were consumed in taking the testi-
mony, the plaintiff seeking to es-
tablish the contention that Wilson
was mentally unbalanced when he
made the will. 1t was shown con-
clusively that at times he was in
sane, and that he committed sui
eide in the insane asylum. The
principal beneficiary of the will,
George Wilson, brother of Lynn
Wilson, resisted the efforts of Mrs.
Pranger to break the will. Mrs.
Pranger was represented by Attor-

"ELECTRII'" TOWEL. Is LATEST
Device Tried Out at Washington Does
Work in 30 Seconds.

The new municipal building at
Washington, n. c., is equipped with
'electro-towels. devised by its su-
perintendent, j. NJ. Ward. The cleo
tro-towel is simply anelectric hand
dryer. 1t looks like a rectangular
box with the front face knocked out
and set on a pedestal which brings it
about waist high The box is large
enough to accommodate an ordinary
pair of hands There is an electric
heating device in the stand and a
blower which forces the air through
ducts into the box on top, where the
hands are held while drying. A lever
operated by the foot turns the cur
rent of hot air into it and sets the
blower at work.
superintendent Ward contends that
as the lever is operated by the foot
and the hands are merely extended
into the box through the open front
they come into contact with no part
of the device, and so the operation is
perfectly sanitary. 1t takes thirty
seconds to dry hands this way.
