Contrary to the commonly accepted belief the pole does not keep point
ing In the same direction. Its axis is moving about constantly In a spiral
and describes a path which varies at least GO miles from It's true station
Its farthest point will gain 80 miles one side and the same rate or the other
but 1t has not yet been known to make any wider swing out OF its standard
position.
Its variations arc in periods extending over seven years. The pole
spends about three and onehalf years in swinging outwards, then the same
time in retracing its steps, At the present the pole Is going o n its outward
voyage and Will take more than a year to complete the trip.

BY Peter Radford.

by refer Ndurof0.
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 eff
fectiyely meet the demands OF COM
meree and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. IL in the wis
dom OF our Railroad Commissions an
increase In freight rates Ia 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
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
iumberman 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 unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out Of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
| involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
, e. -ate hearings, as his ORGANIZATIONS
have never had the finances to em-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as a result, the products
of the plow 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 VI
any necessary commodity In 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 viii be able to
! give the railroad such an increase in
rates as Is necessary without iesyins
a further toll upon the products OF
the plow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to eaualize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
OF freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
