RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for
Rslief-President Wilson Di-
reefs Attention OF Public to
Their Needs.

The committee Of railroad ex-
ecutives, headed by Mr.. Frank
Trumbull, representing thirty
five OF the leading railroad sys-
tens Of the nation, recently pre-
sented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing
the difficulties now confronting
the railroads Of the country and
asking for the cooperation of the
governmental authorities and the
public in supporting railroad
credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the
railroads be given additional rev.
enuss.
The memorandum recites that
the European war has resulted in
general depression Of business on
the American continent and in
the dislocation Of credits at home
and abroad. With revenues de-
creasing and interest rates in
creasing the transportation sys-
tens OF the country face a most
serious crisis and the memoran-
dun is a strong presentation OF
the candle burning at both ends
and the perils that must ultimate
ly attend such a conhagration
when the flames meet is apparent
to all. In their general discussion
the railroad representatives say
in part: by reason Of legisla-
ton and regulation by the Fed
eral Government and the forty
eight states acting independently
Of each other, as well as through
the action cf 4 strong public opin'
ion, railroad expenses in recent
years have vastly increased. No
criticism Is here made Of the gen
eral theory Of governmental regu-
lation, but on the other hand, no
ingenuity can relieve the carriers
Of expenses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmit.
ting the memorandum OF the rail
road presidents to the public,

ment Of plain truth" The Pres.
ident recognizing the emergency
as extraordinary, continuing, said
in part;
"You ask me TO call the atten-
ton OF the country to the imper.
ative need that railway credits
be sustained and the railroads
helped In every possible way,
whether by private cooperative
effort OF by the action, wherever
feasible Of governmental agencies
and | am glad 10 do so because
think the need very real"
The conference was certainly q
fortunate one for the nation and

lated for opening the gate to a

More Pharoahs Needed in
Agriculture.

Farm products have no credit
and perhaps can never have on a
permanent and satisfactory basis
unless we build warehouses, cold
storage plants, elevators, etc, for
without storage and credit facili-
ties, the south is compelled to
dump its crop on the market at
harvest time, The Farmers
Unions In the cotton producing
states have for the past ten years
persistently advocated the con-
struetion of storage facilities, We
have built during this period
1000 warehouses with a capacity
Of approximately 100000 bales
and looking backward the results
would seem encouraging, but
looking forward, we are able to
house less than one-third Of the
crop and warehouses without a
credit system lose 90 per cent OF
their usefulness, The problem Is
a gigantic one-too great for the
farmer to solve unaided. He must
have the assistance of the bank.

EUROPEAN WAR SHAT.
TIERS KING COTTON|S
THRONE
FLEECY STAPLE MUST PAY
RANSOM INTO THE COZ
FERS OF WAR.
Nation Rings With Cries OF
Stricken Industry.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

Lecturer NdtlOlldl fdTUlcTS OIlOu'
King Cotton has suffered more
from the European war than any
other agricultural product on the
American continent. The shells
Of the belligerents have bursted
over his throne, frightening his
subjects and shattering his mark
cts, and, panic-stricken, the ma
ton cries out "God save the
king"
People from every walk Of life
have contributed their mite to-
ward rescue work. Society has
danced before the king; milady
has decreed that the family ward
robe shall contain only cotton
goods; the press has plead with
the public to "buy BALE; bank
ers have been formulating hold
ing plans; congress and legisla
tive bodies have deliberated over
relief measures; statesmen and
writer's have grown eloquent eX-
pounding the inalienable rights
of "His Majesty" and presenting
schemes for preserving the fnan-
cial integrity of the stricken
staple, but the sword of Europe
has proved mightier than the pc
of America in fixing value upon
this product of the sunny south.
Prices have been bayoneted, val
ues riddled and markets decimat-
ed by the battling hosts of the
eastern hemisphere until the
American farmer has suffered a
war loss of $400,000,0O0, and
bale of cotton brave enough to
enter an European port must pay
a ransom of half its value or 60
to prison until the war is over.

operation.
The Farmers Union, through
the columns Of the press, wants
to thank the American people for
the friendship, sympathy and as
sistance given the cotton farm
ers in the hour of distress and to
direct attention to cooperative
methods necessary to permanent
ly assist the marketing OF all
farm products.
The present emergency pre-
sents as grave situation as ever
confronted the American farmer
and from the viewpoint of the
producer, would seem to justify
extraordinary relief measures,
even to the point Of bending the
constitution and straining busi-
ness rules in order to lift a por-
ton Of the burden off the backs
Of the farmer, for unless some
thing is done to check the inva-
sion Of the war forces upon the
cotton fields, the pathway Of the
European pestilence on this con-
tinent will be strewn with mort
gagged homes and famine and
poverty will stalk over the south
land, filling the highways of in
dustry with refugees and the
bankruptcy court with prisoners,
All calamities teach US lessons
and the present crisis serves to-
illuminate the frailties of our
marketing methods and the weak.
ness Of our credit system, and
out OF the financial anguish and
travail of the cotton farmer will
come a volume of discussion and
a mass of suggestions and finally
solution of this, the biggest
problem in the economic life of
America, if, indeed, we have not
already laid the foundation for at
