RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products Of PIow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt. From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.
,tnrer National Farmers Union.

A6StulcI GNdbAOh6A |
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 u%tterances 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 ana
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities OF the
limited 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. II in the Wis
dom of u 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.
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
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in 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
yitals 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
at rate hearings, as his organization
have never had the finances to EN-
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 a
the freight tariffs ~abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate o
any necessary commodity in com
merca, and the rate on agriculture
products as a whole is out of pro
portion with that of the products o
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule Of rates, bu
hope the commission will be able tt
give the railroad such an increase Il
rates as is necessary without levyini
a further toll upon the products o
the plow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to ~equalize the rates a
between agricultural and other classe
of freight without disturbing the rate
on staple farm products.

GIVE new POWER.
Senate Provides Attorney General With
Anti DISCRIMINATION Power.

The senate has injected into the
Stone anti-discrimination bill, before
it approved that measure in commit
tee of the whole, a series of amend
ments that will provide the attorney
general of Kansas an instrument for
the prosecution of the offenders who
discriminate among Kansas producers
of butter-fat and other agricultural
products The need or the present
measure was made apparent last sum-
mer in the Investigations of the al
legged creamery trust and has from
time to time been voiced in charges
made against grain dealers who paid
different prices in different parts of
the state for Kansas wheat
Under the Stone bill the state will
have power to enforce a fine of not
to exceed $1,000 for each offense by a
person or corporation which endeav-
ors to suppress competition by unfair
discrimination in the price paid This
feature has been left out of previous
antitrust laws in Kansas. 1t is an
appIica ton of the federal Clayton act
to state law. The senate improved
the house bill by defining what the
criminal act of discrimination is. The
amendments must be concurred in by
the lower house before the bill goes
to the governor for signature.

February and March Worst Months
For This Trouble-How to
Remove Easily.

There's a reason why nearly every
body freckles in February and March,
but happily there is also a remedy for
these ugly blemishes, and no one need
stay treckled-
Simply get an ounce of othine,
double strength. from your druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning, and in a few days you should
see that even the. worst freckles have
begun to disappear, while the light
ones have vanished entirely. Now is
the time to rid yourself of freckles
for if not removed now they may
stay all summer, and spoil an other
wise beautiful complexion Your
money back if othine fails.-Adv.

SPRING IS NEEDED CITY FIGHT is ON
Labor Situation in Topeka
Shows Effect of Weather.
Scores of Men Apply for Work
Every Day.

The labor situation in Topeka at
the present time is the most tense of
the season. Because of the mud and
adverse weather conditions many per-
sons have been thrown out of work,
and then this is the season of the year
when men of the transient type begin
to move from the winter quarters. The
PrOvident association now. has as
many as fifty applications for work
daily. Relief will come as soon as
there is a change in the weather and
the building season fairly opens
There are scores of men out of
work at the present time who have
not quite reached the stage where it
is necessary to depend upon charity
The Provident association reports
an unusual amount of sickness
among the poor. The association is
assisting a dozen or fifteen families
where there is sickness In MANY. of
sons. There are several persons who
are i'll being cared for at the aSSocia--
ton building at the present time
Immediate help should be given in
the case of one family for which the
association has been providing for
er eighty years old, whose husband
died some years ago and who does
not consider life worth while The
mother has spinal trouble caused by
street car accident There is daugh-
ter who is subject to sinking spells
and is out of work. The mother, who
is not strong and cannot do hard work,
wants to earn. some money by sewing.
She has no machine. She would like
to get hold of a good machine cheap
and to have some spring sewing to do.

Entrance of Churches Into
Campaign Indicated Today.
Rev. Robert Gordon Invites Jaw
House to Talk From Pulpit.

The entrance of the church people
of Topeka into the city campaign for
mayor is indicated today in an open
letter written by Rev. Robert Gordon
OF the First Baptist church to Jay E.
House, candidate, inviting Mr. House
TO speak from the pulpit Sunday eve
ming in answer to DR.. Gordons ser
mon, Jay E. House and Women
What He Thinks of Them"
1t is indicative also of the appar-
ent lineup of church people in the
vote for mayor. The presence of
Blakely, House, Lannan and Hughes
will split the congregations wide open,
1t is believed in City hall circles.
The Gordon letter to House follows:
Mr.: Jay E. House, Topeka.
Sir 1t is my intention to speak
next Sunday night at the First Bap-
tIst church on the subject Jay E
house and Women-What He Thinks
OF Them" That no advantage may be
taken of you or the interests you rep
resent shall be glad to have you take
naI1 the time. l will speak the first
hour and you the second or if YOU
prefer, you may speak first and L will
follow.
We Will have a large attendance of
thoughtful citizens and of course you
VIII nave careful attention and the
most courteous treatment in every
way Sincerely,

Topeka Has Money, but Law
Prevents Expenditure.
Measure in Senate, Lying Dor
mant, Offers Relief.
WOULD REQUIRE VOTE IN CITY
Amendment Tackled On i'm 1918
Admittedly Worthless.
And Now 1t Looks as Though
It'll Require an Election.
The city is peeved.

| Inc city Is peeVed-
a jitney legislature, all right" COM
planned w. G. Ralston, city attorney
today.
Two years ago when legislation
was needed for a city city officials
could go before the right committee,
explain what was needed in a bust
neSSIike manner and leave, knowing
that the matter in question would be
attended to. But now, no matter how
meritorious a measure may be, it
seems necessary for one to take his
bed with him and live right in the
state house, if anything is accom-
pliShed.
"A man can call on his representa-
tive either in the senate or the house.
and 1t does not seem to make any diff
ference whether this representative
is from Topeka or some other place
they all seem to be alike-and eX-
plain the merits of bill and he will
be told, Yes, that seems to be good
measure, all right but that is the end
of the matter. Nothing is accom-
p1ished.
For example, Topeka has raised
the money by tax levy for the con-
struction of two bridges over Shunga-
nunga creek, one at Lincoln street
and the other on Kansas avenue. The
money is in the city treasury waiting
to be applied to the building of the
bridges, but an amendment was
tackled onto the law two years ago.
without anyone knowing about it, re-
quiring a vote of the people before
more than $4,000 can be spent in
building a bridge in a city the size of
Topeka. Now, no modern bridge OF
concrete and steel can be built over
Shunganunga creek for less than S10,-
600 To submit this proposition to
vote will cost the city $500 or more
in election expenses.
Camp on Bills.
"A bill repeating this foolish pro-
vision of the law has passed the house
after a ridiculous amount of lobbying
which should not have been neces-
sary. 1t is now dying of neglect in the
senate. The city officials have not the
time to go up to the state house and
camp there, and it should not be
necessary.
IF every little permanent improve
ment to be made in city must be
submitted to a vote of the entire city
at special or general election, not
much progress is going to be made.
For example, what does North To-
peka care about a bridge over Shun-
ganunga creek Later an improve
ment may be needed in North Topeka
and then what will South Topeka care
about it. And POtwin people prob
ably will not care much about voting
for an improvement the East side
may need. Everyone agrees that the
law as it now stands is foolish, OBJ
and yet nothing is done. This par
ticular law, which is keeping Topeka
from building bridges is so worded
that it applies only to Topeka and
Wichita.
1.-The bill which w. G.. Tandy. city
commissioner of streets, wishes en-
acted into law, compelling property
owners either to keep their walks free
of snow or paying the city for remov-
ing it, offers another example of the
jitney ca1iber of the present legisla-
ture No opposition to this bill can
be located, yet it also dying of neg
