DECIDES AT CONFERENCE NAVAL
PROGRAM FOR CONGRESS
sHALl INCLUDE ADDITION
OF FAST WARShiPS,
$500, 900, 900 ASSURED
FOR DEFENSE PROGRAM
Congressional Leaders Who Hereto
fore Have Fought Defense Bills
Because Of Profits to Armer
Plate Trust to Support
Plans for Manufactures.

Washington, Oct. 5.--Presidens VIII
son, Secretary Daniels and Chairman
Padgett of the house naval committee
decided at conference at the White
House that the naval program for
the coming session of Congress shall
include the addition of fast battle
cruisers to the American fleet. The
navy now has none.
The conference on naval estimates
lasted more than an hour. Afterward
Secretary Daniels said the program
had not been completed and he was
not ready to make any announcement
as to what increases he would recon-
mend to Congress.
Fast Ships Essential
Mr. Daniels said, however, that the
report made to him by Naval Con-
structor Mcbride, who returned from
England last week after investigating
naval lessons Of the war, had con-
WINGED him that fast warships of pow
erful types were absolutely essential
to a we'll balanced aim toward which
his recommendations will trend.
He refused to say how many sub
marines Congress will be asked to pro-
vide, but indicated his opinion that
the submersibles will be recognized by
important additions.
Secretary Daniels expects to have
his estimates ready by October 10,
The need of increasing the number
of midshipmen at the naval academy
was touched on at the conference.
To Confer With Board.
President Wilson will confer on
Wednesday with the advisory board,
headed by Thomas 4. Edison. Mr..
Edison now is in Washington discuss
ing plans with Secretary Daniels.
President Wilson, it is known, has
been assured by congressional leaders
that a 100000 900 program of defense
inhabitation will go through Congress
provided that program takes new
course The group of congressman
who have heretofore fought defense
bills because of III huge profits they
gave to the armor plate and powder
trust" would give full support to a
plan for government plants for the
manufacture of armor and powder.

THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until ii is solved. for market
Is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $1S0,000 900 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants. but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
Of agriculture
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until 1t gets within the grasp of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom OF the age
upon 1t. 1t is a problem which the
farmers. merchants, bankers. editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is In farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans If marketing, but does not be-
lleve IN promoting one to the neglect
or the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give us their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should he extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also.

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice OF such procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
OF Wcst Virginia and the decision is
so far-reaching that we have asked
L. E. Johnson. president of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of large number of states at two
cents a mile AS a basis for such
economic legislation. no examination
was made of the cost of doing the
business so regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such rate would yield to the rail
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class OF business.
Such law was passed in West
Virginia In 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents a mile per passenger barely

DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
Kingdom This ancient method of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
If our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark OF dog or the bray of a donkey,
1t would be great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those Who pick political plums
by raising rows ana who fash swords
dripping in the blood OF industry un-
sderstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by clash OF personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
Ill. E. johnson
On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost of
carrying passenger a mile. The
state, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes OF the
case, the railroad did not deny this.
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to> pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. Its decision responds
to the Judgment OF the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The SUI
preme Court says that, even though
railroad earns a surplus on a par
tcular commodity by charging rea.
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway COM
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be. reduced The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as reason for COM
pelling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom"
