MARKET BUREAU.

Commissioner OF Agriculture hOiner
FOR a market bureau as an adjunct to
the department. Of which he has
charge. would he an excellent feature.
and we hope thai the General As
sembly will not only put the stamp
OF approval upon il, but make a. gem
erous appropriation for it's develop
meut along the lines proposed by the
commissioner.
Commissioner Koiner is authority
for the statement that thirteen of the
states now have these market bureaus
ms adjuncts to their departments Of
d griculture, and the end has 1usti-
fed the means In every respect, The
idea of such a bureau is 10 bring the
farmer In close touch with the
markets; to Keep him advised OF the
locations Of the markets, the condi-
tons and the prices for which he can
sell his products as we'll as the prices
at which he can purchase his sup
plies.
Mr.. Koiner cites an instance illus
trating his point very forcibly. A
wholesale house was buying beans
from distant state and paying an
exorbitant freight rate. 1t was learn
ed, through means Of tho States
market bureau. that there was a
farmer IN the same state who pro
duced large quantities OF the same
sort OF beans the house had been buy
ing and he couldn't find a market.
Tho farmer and the wholesaler we're
result that the farmer got a good price
for his beans and the wholesale house
was enabled TO pay that good price
and then make larger profits by rea-
son Of the saving il made on freight
rates. There are doubtless many
other equally striking illustrations that
could he given # the practical value
OF n market bureau, but the one sur
fees
+ We trust that the members of the
General asse mbly will give Commits
sioner Koiner a careful hearing in the
matter and make a generous appro-
lpriation for its fnrtherance. Virginia
has been advancing by leaps and
bounds from an agricultural stand =
point as she has in other matters,
but we believe with Mr.. Koiner that
the market bureau Ia a real need of
the situation. and one that should be
supplied without delay. When II IL
considered that the States agricuI-
.tursl department is practically self
supporting and not drain upon the
States funds. the Legislature should
certainly look favora bly, upon the sug-
gestion for this appropriation.

LAND AND HIGH COSTS

Editor The Star: May offer
this In answer to your call for
opinions as TO the way out OF the
high-cost-of-living problem?
For immediate relief. public opin-
ion must back the workers In their
demands for an Increase In wages.
The biggest fortunes Of this coun.
try have been doubled in the past
two years. This means perma-
nent increase OF 100 per cent In
the income OF the capitalist.
Capital increases It's income
noiselessly. and Is unnotIced. but
labor must make noise. altho II
need not commit violence. Let us
bear with a little noise and unrest
IL 1t will help the great body OF the
people get living wage.
Then we must do something for
permanent relief. We have to pay
certain people about five billion
dollars each year for the privilege
OF living and working on the land
within the United States. Those
people call themselves landlords.
They don't claim to be lords Of ere
alton, but merely lords OF the land.
Did anybody ever hear OF lord
OF the shovel or the saw or the
hammer7
We can bring permanent pros
perity by exaltlng the shovel and
saw. exempting all labor products
from taxation. and compel the land.
lord TO earn his title by paying all
the taxes. This will cut the cost
of labor products without cutting
wages.
We should also start an endless
chain demand that the Robert
Crosser bill pass thru congress. It
proposes to divide the public do.
main into farms. The title is to
remain In the government. but the
occupant Is to have permanent use
by simply paying the rental value
OF the land to Uncle Sam. This
will give farm, the improvements
OF which are to be financed by the
government. for n mere song.
There In every reason TO believe
that President Wilson is ready to
back some such measure. A post
card-writing public should urge its
passage. THEODORE TEEPE.
