Co! Operation the IN I'd of the Hour.
q Rl; down through the years, par
Itieularly recent years, the advanced
thinkers and promoters Of farmers
best; iaterests, have. urged organiza-
ton. and. Cooperation. There can
never be effective cooperation with
ictSttt cutt organization. These men were not
infrequently sneersd- and jeered at,
little heed being given by those who
stood most in needsof the wise coun-
4seithat was offered.
Just as as this country was wofully
unprepared in 1917 to engage in a
war Of gigantic proportions, so were
the cottonaasagro%ersrof the South un-
prepared in 1919 to cope with a Sit
uation that was, precipitated. by the
decline Of $50 per bale Of their mon
ey crop in sixty days. Had the timely
words Of the men referred to as ad-
yanced thinkers been, needed and CO.
operation put into practice, in the
years gone by; -cotton growers would
not have been so completely at sea
in-the hour of greatest need.
;rFar1nerss everywhere are. more pro
gressive in their ideas and methods of
farming. Soils are being improved by
deeper plowing and intelligent rota-
ton. Diversified farming is becoming
more and more general. The greatest
need of farmers now is. an improved
marketing system, which can come
only through cooperation. Just as
the citrus fruit. growers of: Florida,
the peach growers of Georgia and
the(asparagus growers of South, Caro-
lima were, realizing but little profit
from their shipments until there was
worked out a system ,of, cooperation

The companies ask n their peti-
ti0ns for the abolition OF the through

necessary, IL the system Is consider
ed as a whole, the. Commission ap-
pFeoiates the desirability OF some re-
routing, not only in the interests Of
economy and efficiency, but In order
that the companies may be in q posi-
tiOn to increase the volume Of their
traffic 10 dnd from the Union Station,
which they claim Is now carried
mostly on the lines Of the Capital
Traction Company. Although not
specifically referred 10 in the hear
ings in this case, other instances
have been brought 20 the attention
OF the commission where q consider
able amount Of dead ear mileage now

routing. These matters are import
ant and will receive early and care
ful consideration.

Statements Based on
Actual Operations.

The companies financial statements
are based on actual operations for
seven months, during five months OF
which there was no charge for trans
fers, and on estimates for the remain
ing five months Of the year, assuming
continuation Of present rates Of
fare. II allowance be made for the
notifications outlined above and II Il
be assumed that the companies had
collected a charge Of cents for
transfers during the first five months
Of actual operations, the companies
would fall short Of earning a g per
cent return namely S977,75O on the
fair value OF the property as fixed by
the commission amounting to SlG.-
298,OOO) by approximately SS5O,OOO.
There are several ways in which this
needed revenue can be raised:
by an increase in the fiat rate OF
fare, with no shange in the present
for transfers.
BY an increase in the fat rate
Of fare and charge Of only 1 cent
for transfers.
BY a greater increase in the fat
rate Of fare and no charge for trans
ferG.
The Commission is Of the opinion
that material economies in operation
can be affected through re-routing Of
cars out as II IS ClIncult TO make
such changes while a charge for
transfers Is effective, the Commission
believes that until such re-rOuting can
be inaugurated no charge should be
made for intra-company transfers.
Continue Charge for
InteF-COmpany Transfers.
The Commission also believes that
the present charge Of two cents for
inter-cOmpany transfers should be
continued, and on the question of a
division Of the receipts from these
transfers, IL recognizes that such
through rates should be apportioned
between the companies in a manner
equitable to each. Consideration has
been given TO the conflicting testi-
mOny submitted by the representa-.
tives OF the petitioners and of the
Capital Traction Company, but in the
absence Of further data, the Commits
sion Is unable TO reach a conclusion
at this time. II WILL however, take
this matter up and announce a decis.

800 AIRPLANEs FOR THE ARMY

A fleet of 800 airplanes, 100 in
actual commission, with a reserve of
3400, are to be provided for the United
States army if present army organiza-
ton plans are carried out. 1t is also
proposed to have a military establish
ment of 100000 men, of which num-
Der the air personnel will include
1928 officers and 21,853 men.
The organization tables show that
the air forces on peace basis will be
made up of eighty-seven service
squadrons, of which forty-two will be
assigned to coast defense work in the
United States and insular possessions,
twenty will be pursuit squadrons, and
twenty-five observation and bombing
squadrons. The typical army airplane
squadron includes eighteen planes in
service and their personnel.
The tables also call for the main
tenance of forty-two balloon COM
panies, divided into three groups of
fourteen companies each.
The air service will be given definite
recognition as the fourth of the line or
combat forces of the army the others
being the old trio of artillery, cavalry
and infantry. . All other units are
supplemental forces, generally known
as auxiliary arms or staff corps
troops.
Carrying out the organization of
this new element of the line, the tao
teal formation of the airplane branch
of the air service will be in squadrons,
groups, and wings, and the balloon
section in companies, groups and
wings.
Storage capacity has been provided
for approximately 5000 complete
planes, not including those in service
or in immediate reserve with the
squadrons. The production of planes
has exceeded, however, even the stor-
age capacity of the fields.

the possibilities of this new land may
be understood when it is known that
these 100000 acres are producing over
one-third of the agricultural wealth
of the state now being produced on
about 100000 acres of improved
land. The agricultural income of the
state, which is now something over
5000, 100000, may be increased to far
beyond s50O,0OO,OOO, and the taxable
wealth of the state will be increased
in greater proportion"

UNIQUE PICTURE FILM

A motion picture film illustrating
the livestock breeding industry in the
Inland Empire will soon be shown to
stockmen of the northwest. Arrange
ments are being made by the Stock
mems Club of Spokane to secure 5000
feet of film for this purpose. The
object is to stimulate stock raisers in
the production of the higher grades
of livestock. The campaign will be
purely educational and no charge will
be made for exhibitions of the pic
lures in the several communities.
Meetings of stockmen will be ar
ranged by county agents.
