Will Fight Telephone Rate Advance.

Will Fight Telephone Rate Advance.
Duluth and Minneapolis through
their legal departments intend to
fight the increase in tariffs which will
be asked by the Northwestern Tele-
phone company. The first and third
cities in the state are in the North
western company's zone. The second
city, St. Paul, is Tri-State company
territory. This division Of telephone
business was one of the later results
of the legislation which put telephone
regulation and control under the rail-
road and warehouse commission. City
Attorney Charles D. Gould on behalf
Of Minneapolis telephone patrons,
says: 81 will resist the rate increase
application at the hearing on the
ground that materials and commodi-
ties seem to be on the decline. Service,
which is Of prime Importance, does not
seem to justify an advance in rates,
if there were no other considerations"
It remains to be seen what viii; be the
burden Of Duluth's argument against
the proposal for higher rates. If
costs to patrons are increased, the re-
sponsibility will rest wholly upon Ira

Gives Farmers a Chance.

Passage Of the Capper-Volstead
bill legalizing farmers cooperative
marketing organizations comes H.
most considerably with the first an
nouncement of a plan for large scale
cooperation among grain growers by
the farmers marketing committee of
II.
This plan, which remains to be
worked out in detail, provides for:
I. Farmer owned elevator COM
panies and sales agencies to operate
on local and terminal markets in this
country.
2. Farmers export companies and
sales agencies to operate on foreign
markets.
8. Perfection Of arrangements for
the sale of all American graiH on the
basis of cooperative bargaining.
It has been generally admitted by
farm leaders that such an ambitious
program would be virtually impossible
of fulfillment without the proper legis-
lation by congress. Legal opinion has
held that it would not contravene pres
ent laws, but the opportunity for long
drawn-out litigation and outright per-
secution under the antitrust laws bv
enemies of cooperative marketing
would have hampered it at the start.
The Capper- Volstead bill does for
farmers organizations what the Clay
ton act did for labor unions. It ex-
empts them from attack under anti
trust laws. At the same time it af-
fords protection for the public against
abuses. It limits the profit of any CO.
operative organization to 8 per cent.
Under. amendments affixed in the
senate, activities of co-operators are
subject to review and regulation by the
federal trade commission. In the
original bill, regulatory power was
given to the department of agricul-
ture. In this connection it might be
mentioned that the plans of the COM
mittee of II call for representation of
the public on the directorate of it's
national selling agency.
Passage of this bill, which marks
the fulfillment of one of the leading
planks in the republican platform,
will undoubtedly be acclaimed by all
sound-thinking farmers who believe
that the farmers themselves can right
what is wrong about agriculture if
given half chance.-St. Paul Dis

A resolution was also passed by the

tariff on all farm products.

further urge the enactment of legis-

We urge cooperative action of the

prices for stable crops.
1t is our conviction based on the
facts brought out in the farmer-bank-

farmers, bankers, and commercial and
industrial interests alike to use every
effort to enable the farmers in their
present critical circumstances to re-
main on the land, to plant full crop,
