RATE Increase
NECESSARY.
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products Of Plow and Farmer Whs
Lives at Home Should Be
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 applica'
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
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities Of the
United States are inadequate to ef-
fectiyely 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,
but we have some suggestions to make
as TO the manner in which this In
crease shall be levied.

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
ized tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with upre-
strained greed they have eaten the
yjtals out of our transportation system
and since We have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning. are represented al every
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-
yiSy counsel to develop his side OF
the case aad, as a result, the products
of the plow bear an unequal burden
Of the freight expense. 4 glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product the South, a;
ready bears the highest freight rate 9f
any necessary commodity IL COM;
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a 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 Ia necessary without levying
q further toll upon the products OF
the plow. The instance seems TO pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equallze the rates az
between agricultural and other classes
Of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

GET THE GET-TOGETHER
SPIRIT"

The principal of cooperation of
concentration, or, in the plain words
of President Andrew KimbalI, in his
home-style talk, given before the
assemblage at the annual eat of the
Chamber Of Commerce, Monday
night, January 18th, he struck the
keynote in his deduction of What
Arizona Needs and How to Get 1t. y
That first of all we need confidence
and courage, that we have an
abundance of everything and plenty
of money, but can't get at it. That
the many interests of the State need
to get together and unite upon the
proper development of the abundant
resources of our State.
Somebody said, IF the mines do
well, the railroads do well and the
farmers have market and CORES
pondingly do well"
In his illustration of the swinging
pendulum, he pointed out the fact
that a number of years ago, when
he was in the Twenty-hrst Legisla-
ture, TO legislation could be gotten
thru affecting the great interests.
A bullion bill was launched, but
nothing was done. The mining in
terests and railroads looked pretty
well after legislation. However, the
pendulum, now at the extreme, as
in favor of the big interests, as we
would infer from the words of the
speaker, swung back to the extreme
the other way during the delibera-
tions of the State constitutional con-
yention and first legislature; also the
initiation of certain laws and amend
ments at the November election, a
reference to which at this time is
not necessary, Tor everybody well
knows that the many iniquitouS
measures were aimed at the interests
of the State. As drawn from this
picture, the pendulum IS settling
down at a medium point indicative
of the splendid conservative legi'la-
ture and which we may conclude
from the EXPIRE ssiOn If the con-
stituency over the State, that the
time had fully come when class leg
islation, or the prevention of
measures aimed at any department,
had ceased, and now we could get
together as people and build a
State. If not, why not?
Every effort to handicap the in
terests of the State, those who are
by their means taking the money
out of the earth and the employing
power, has reacted in every instance
unfavorable to the general interests
of the State, Why not then re.
cognize the fact as drawn from our
experiences that to do well as Il
whole, we must protect rather than
deter the efforts of capital within
our State. Hard times are mol ih-
together caused by IN European
war and physical condition at home.
The legislation of the last ten years.

had whole lot to do with sitting

Some odds and ends to munich,
Providing thus for hungry hub
a nice al fresco lunch.
