THE FARMERS AND THE RAILROADS

If congress in its wisdom sees fit to give these
railroad men their demands, we ask that congress
shall also buy all of the farms in the United States,
with their equipment, and employ all of the farmers
to operate them, paying to the farmers a wage equal
to two-thirds of the hourly wage that the average
railway employee receives; and then sell all farm
products to the consumer at cost.
The foregoing is a paragraph from a series of resolr-
lions recently adopted by the Oklahoma Farmers Union. This
alternative proposition of the farmers, as stated by the Okla
homan, is just as reasonable as that advanced by the railroad
unions. In fact, more reasonable, because in the case of the
government ownership of farms, the product would be sold
to the consumer at cost; whereas the railroad unions propose
that the railroads be run at a profit and that they be given a
large share of the profits. In their proposal, the farmers agree
to give all the profits from the farms to the public and still be
content with an hourly wage equal to two-thirds of what is
paid the average railway emp4oye.
Although any form of government ownership of railroads
is unthinkable, in the view of the Farmers Union, the plan
proposed by the railroad brotherhoods is the worst yet brought
forward. 1t is especially vicious because it proposes legisla-
lion for a particular class of workers and provides that these
workers shall be given special benefits for which the great
majority of other workers will pay. The railroad employees
constitute only about three per cent of all employees in the
United States. Yet they insist that their will shall be supreme
over all.

officially estimated that between
100000 and 100000 acres of valu-
able timber will have been burned
in Montana this year.
The heavy loss this year is ex-
c%eptional, but there has scarcely
been a year in which the damage
was not tremendous. The state
press is beginning to urge vigor-
ously a reorganization of the gov
ernment's forest protection system.
One Recommendation which has
attracted considerable attention, is
to use military forces in peace
times for forest patrol.
