The fact that the city now has far
less litigation than 1t had when SO

islative service at Nashville.

organizations have been made
through a total misconception CT the
Clayton law, Senator Capper said
Organizations of farmers for the
purpose of merchandising their prod
ucts is in no sense conspiracy in
restraint of trade, the Kansas sena-
tor declared. On the contrary it
acts as stimulus to trade. 1t opens
an avenue from the house in the city
to the wheat bin or corn crib in the
country.
Farmers, like all good citizens,
should be prepared when an emer-
gency faces the country to make their
srme responsibility for profiteerng
is altogether too much. Everybody
knows that the farmer as. a class has
never been a Stacker. He was ready
during the revolutionary war, during
the war of 1912, the civil war, the
Mexican war and every conflict in
which this country has taken part
including, and conspicuously so, the
recent world upheaval."
Senator Capper is member of the
subcommittee investigating the high
cost of living. This committee is
trying to find who or what is re-
sponsible for the excessive prices
charged for everything consumed in
the District of Columbia and adjacent
territory.
While the senator refused to an>
ticipate the findings of the committee
by giving an opinion in advance, it
was clear that he felt responsibility
for this condition should not be laid
on the producer.
"Of course l can't say what our
report will be, but so far no evidence
has been offered which contends to
confirm wild stories to the effect that
the farmers are the profiteers,' SEN
ator Capper said.

AND CONSUMERS
MUST HAVE A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING

Commenting on the present situa-
tion insofar as it affects the con-
sumer, Senator Arthur Capper, OF
Kansas, has said that there should
be established a better understand
ing between the farmer and his ur-
ban customer. The senator declared
that efforts on the part of the Ma
tional Board of Farm Organizations,
| National Grange, and similar bodies
to bring this about should receive
popular and congressional encour-
agement
He suggested that now is about
the best time to stimulate mutual
interest and to bring factions that
threatened through ignorance of the
aims of each, to fight each other,
closer together Senator Capper
said that though he comes from an
agricultural state and owes his ele-
walton to the senate to the farm vote,
he would under no circumstances
take a side on the part of the farm
er if the farmer was wrong.
There is an emergency confront
ing the nation at this time, such an
emergency as we have never before
faced" said Senator Capper ut is
ir some respects fraught with great
er peril than the war threatened us
with When we entered the war we
knew the strength of our enemy and
knew that through the mobilization
of our great resources in men, money
and material products, we could win.
We had measured the task, prepared
ourselves for payment of the cost and
settled down to the work of prepar-
ing to overcome the monster.
but now we are confronted by
insidious, unseen forces, which no
man can accurately measure. There
is no open fighting, no blazing bar
RACES, but there is an undetermin-
ing process going on that we must
be prepared to resist. It's subtlety
makes it all the more perilous. A
real and visible enemy can be met
and overcome promptly, but the
enemy of discomfort, misunderstand-
ing, prejudice and passion is a very
different kind of enemy to deal with.
He has no corporal parts that
we can seize upon, no visible body
that we can shatter But l think we
will be able successfully to contend
with him.
Senator Capper said his bill to
make it clearly lawful for farmers
to engage in the work of collective
bargaining would undoubtedly be-
come law. He said he had been
promised support by senator's who he
had supposed were antagonistic to
tine measure. 1t was so manifestly
just that it was difficult for him to
see how any person could oppose it,
But that is another illstration of
the lack of understanding between
the city and country" said Senator
Capper, How shall we establish
that desired understanding if the
farmers are unable collectively to
trade with their customers? l think
the bill provides way by which this
better understanding can be estab-
lished."
Senator Capper said he agreed
with Senator Sterling and other col
leagues that the bill does not confer
any privileges on the farmer which
under the Clayton law, properly I'M
Serstood, he does not already enjoy.
