The president of the Farmers
Non-Partisan League, who says he
represents nearly a hundred thou
sand agriculturists in the Northwest
is deeply moved by the spectacle Of
helpless city folk starving in the
midst of plenty, because food Is so
dear they cannot afford to buy 1t.
The farmer, of course, IS not TO
blame; on the contrary, ne sympa-
thizes with the poor consumers and
would help them if he could. But
what can he do? He, too, is help
less. and does not get as much as ne
thinks he should for his products.
In fact. it is stated that he has "prac-
,ically nothing to say" about the
marketing Of the wheat he pro
duces.
The trouble lies elsewhere. The
seller as well as the buyer is pay
ing tribute to the railroads, the
grain gamblers, the milling trust
the beef trust, the egg SPECTATORS
the cold storage kings" The rem
edv is so extremely simple that 1t is
given offhand, the details being left
10 those who have little spare time
II consists merely of public control
Of marketing, transportation and
distribution" If that were estab-
lisbed. the farmer would get more
for what he has to sell and the down.
trodden workingman would be able
70 buv more with the money he has
N snend. That, at least, is the as
sertion of the farmers representa-
tive. And, surely, no one can DOUBT
that he would insist upon an exact
division of the savings which ne
thinks would be effected under his
nlan. II stands to reason that ne
would, for every one knows the
farmer has the interests of the con-
sumner at heart as much as his own
Skeptical persons might argue
that the farmer often withholds his
wheat from market in order TO force
I'D the price the consumer must pay
hut no doubt the farmers spokesman
would dismiss that as being irrele-
want. Also, he would perhaps ignore
such matter-of fact things as stats
tics. Others, being prejudiced' may
consider them, however. Let US fol-
low a bushel of wheat from South
Dakota, which is one Of the states

II the United States Department
Of Agriculture's record of prices is
accurate. the grower in that state
on February received $3.50 bush

the "grain gambler" sold it, perhaps

ment. and got his commission. 1t
was taken to the station and loaded
on a freight car. 1t first was in

grain gamblers, the railroads and
others who arc denounced by the
leagues president may not be exact
ing such exorbitant charges for the
services they perform as has been
popularity supposed. Without their
aid in the transaction, il is conceiv-
able that the farmer might have
been forced to take less for his
wheat, unless the cost OF unorganized
handling could have been added to
the consumers bill. 1t does not re-
quire deep insight into human nature
to surmise where tine sympathies Of
the farmer would DE in such situa-
ton.

An increase of 102,643 tons in the
unfilked bookings of the United
States Steel Corporation ordinarily
would be considered highly favor
able showing. and may be this time.
1t is more probable, however, that
the apparent gain was due for the
most part to the curtailment Of pro-
duction necessitated by lack Of fuel
and freight congestion.

There is no good reason why

should not accept British Treasury
bills in part payment for the war
orders on which they are making eX-
traordinary profits. But there is at
least one good reason why they
should not keep such transactions
secret. The stockholders are GER
tSiinly entitled to know in just what

Two Points Emphasized

Two points stand out in the majority
opinion. First. il is doubtful, says the
opinion, whether the Sherman anti
trust law can reach proprietary rela.
tions formed prior to the passage Of
the Law. The opinion points out the
long record Of the Central Pacific lines
being operated as a part Of the South
ern Pacific system. and continues:
"If the antitrust act be construed
TO reach proprietary relations. as dis
tinguished from those Of mere con-
tinuous operating character formed
long PRIOR 70 its passage. whereby di
yergent and tangential lines Of road TO
widely separated gatevsys or points IN
the currents Of traffic movement are
held in a single ownership or control
its enforcement would have such a de
structive effect upon established &C
copied railroad systems Of the country
that their inclusion within the intent
Of Congress may we'll be doubted
The second point given prominence In
the decision is that the operation Of
the Central Pacific as e part Of the
Southern Pacific system has not beer
shown to have had an injurious effect
or shippers.
The opinion states that under the
control of the Central Pacific by the
Southern Pacific the government and
the people were being served adequate
ly."
During the arguments the govern
ment called attention TO the railway
laws Of California. which, It was al
legged. we're violated By the merger. On
this point the court held that the anti
trust law does not pick up the laws OF
states for original enforcement, but
deals with actual conditions affecting
interstate commerce whether they are
affected by those laws or not
