Washington. Oct. 1S.-Complete re- turns covering railroad operations throughout the country made public today by the Interstate Commerce Commission show little variation from preliminary statements except as to western roads. These are shown to have earned net, approximately S1 1OOO,- coo more in July last than in July 1916 instead of s2,0OO,O0O less ehis year than last, indicated in previous reports.
 Total volume of business of all the roads last July in the country exceed ed that of July. 1916. by S45, 5000, 900, reaching the high water mark of s34S,- 427,306. Expenses increased SAP, 900, 900, leaving net revenue from railway operations $3,O0O,000 more than a year ago.
 This gain. however. was reduced to loss of approximately $40O,0OO, com pared with July, 1916, by an increase of $3,400.00O in taxes charged up against the railroads for the month. Roads in the eastern district show a falling off in net operating income of more than $2.s00,00O for the month while southern roads registered an in crease of approximately $1,45O, 900.

 "Charity begins at home." So does square dealing. It begins al the farm. It ought to continue through the buy CT and the railroad yards and the com mission house and the retail store and so on.

 Don't let's go into court till our own hands are clean.

Whether we farmers are the scum of the earth" as some of the city brethren and sistern consider us; or the salt of the earth" as the candi- dates call us, lection times; in either case we shall doubtless be willing to admit, on our own behalf, that we have certain rights and certain duties and certain responsibilities.
 It doesn't need any argument, among ourselves, to show that we have and claim certain rights.
 That very fact carries with it, as an irresistible corollary, the conse- Guence that we also have certain du- ties and responsibilities. This, for the same reason that a ladder must have two ends. It can't be all top: there must be a bottom rung if there is top one.

| It is equally sure that the possession 1 of any right. held and maintained as such, involves and necessitates cor responding duty or responsibility. The very instant that you and claim a certain thing as our right we
 are logically and ethically bound to confess our allegiance to an equal duty which is 1ndissolubly welded to it by the force of immutable justice. As we cannot eat our cake and have it. too, cannot honestly or even decently claim right without, in that very claim, confessing a duty. Sometimes I grow misanthropically Inclined to doubt whether many peo- pie, farmers others, any longer recognize this fact.
 Pretty near hundred and fifty years ago our first congress set forth the claim that we all had certain ''unaliena b1e rights" such as life, Iib- erty and the pursuit of happiness From that time to this we've all been engaged, more or less actively. in an
 amending struggle to maintain that thesis. We haven't wholly succeeded,
 even yet. But that's another story.
 The point I want to make is that the
 very day our representatives, acting
 in our behalf and for us, made that
 claim to certain "unalienable rights" that same day and by that same act
 they shouldered upon us the core
 spending duty of mainta ming and en- forcing the claim.
 "Who would be free themselves must
 strike the blow," i. e., if they claim the right to freedom they must as- sume it with the duty of yielding the club or the sword. Eternal vigilance
 is the price of liberty" 1. e., if we claim liberty we must at the same time accept our responsibility deb.. ors to pay the price.
 All of which is very well, perhaps you'll say: but what has it got to do with farming and the price of pota- toes?
 A good deal, dear boy. For in instance
 You want and claim as your right a fair price for those potatoes You have had to invest money in land and tools; you claim a decent interest on your investment. You've had to pay exorbitant prices for seed and labor and fertilizer: you claim the right to get your money back, with a living profit in addition. You've had in one way another to pay at least four taxes. federal sJ:te, county and town. You've had to pay insurance and re- pair bills and 'steen other expenses, and your potato crop must sell for enough to- pay its just share of all This you maintain is a right. Very we'll; let it be accepted as such.
 But don't forget for one little min ute that, the instant you claim all that as right, you voluntarily impose On yourself as a fair man the burden

One of: those duties is that you keep down the cost of producing the crop as low as~you reasonably can. Another is that you use all due diligence to nurture and foster the crop so as to produce as large a yield as feasible. Another is that you, put. it ,on. the market as economically as may be, with. proper considera tion for your own interests.
 portant of all, is that, when you claim a first class price for your potatoes, you assume the duty and responsibility Of seeing that they actually are first class, from top to bottom of the bag; from biggest to smallest.
 Why did the, "doubIe- headed' barrel come into use, some years ago, for ap- ples and such things? Simply because buyers found that apple packers had got into the habit Of plating the fruit at the head end and two bushels of cider apples at tho other. By de- manding double head buyers hoped to end this fraud.
 Why do they now insist on having at least a fair proportion of the bar rels dumped out before their eyes? Because they have found that even with the double headed barrel un- scrupulouS packers can still stow away a bushel or so of culls in the center, beyond the reach of inspection from either end.
 The same thing holds good. in some degree, of almost all commodities. It is true of things not farm-grown as well. But it is of farm products that we are talking, because they happen to be our line.

WIDE SURVEY OF
LABOR Will Be
MADE IN STATE
Will be Feature on Program
for Convention to be
Held Here
ARE COMPLETED
Federal Agent Establishes
Headquarters at James
town to Direct Work

The greatest labor survey in the
history of North Dakota and the
northwest was started this week un-
der the direction of r. j. Leth, one
of the agents of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, who will
work in conjunction with the state
efficiency commission which has
opened headquarters in the offices of
Attorney Oscar j. Seller at James
town,
The survey will be made for the
purpose of interviewing every farmer
in the state and to enroll every man
in the towns and the cities who is
available for farm service. The main
work of this survey will be in aiding
in the distribution of labor and pro-
viding trustworthy information as to
how much help is needed and when.
The department Of agriculture and eff
ficiency commission do not intend to
supplant labor agencies.
I'VE probably won't furnish help
unless the agencies cannot meet the
situation" stated Mr.. Leth recently.
$50 far. the local officers in the diff
ferent cities of the northwest, have
not met the demands during the har-
vesting season so the bureau antici-
pates plenty to do later in the season.
The commission does not intend to fix
wages, but simply to help solve the
labor situation, to learn the amount
of help needed on the farms, the num-
Der of work horses wanted and the
number available to be sold, and the
amount of grain, hay and feed on
hand now compared with conditions a
year ago."
According to Leth there is prac-
tically no demand for help in North
Dakota at this time as far as reports
have reached the headquarters at
Jamestown. However, the members of
the efficiency commission and the rep
resentative from the department Of
agriculture are preparing for calls
within the space of month. Leth
stated that it was a trif1e too early
to make an estimate as to the num-
Der Of harvesters that will be needed
in the state this fall, but said the fig
ures supplied by the survey would be
accurate and would be given out to
the press in plenty of time.
With the proper cooperation, the
members Of the efficiency commission
and the United States department OF
agriculture hope to be able to avoid
the piling up Of labor in large groups
where not wanted, but to place 1t in
sections of the state where there is
an immediate and an urgent need.
