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 liz but if the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase in
rates is necessary, we would prefer
that # come TO as through articles Of
consumption on their journey from
the factory TO the farm We would
for example. prefer that the rate on
hogs 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 a farm
or who viii 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 plows
remain the same, and machinery
pianos and such articles as the poor
err farmer cannot hope TO possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase ia rates should be SO
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home viii bear no part Of the bur
den, but let the farmer who boards
IN other states and countries and
WAC feeds his stock IN foreign lands
pay the price Of his folly.

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. II 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 eXten-
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
lumberman and the cattleman have
organized and I'm 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
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 10 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 a 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 a whole is out OF pro
1 portion with that of the products Of
/ the factory and the mine.
/ We offer no schedule OF rates, but
/ hope the commission win be able to
/ give the railroad such an increase IN
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products OF
/ the pillow The instance seems TO pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
! Commissions 20 equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
