CHICAGO, June 9.-The American
farmers took a hand in the political
situation today when they presented
their demands for platform planks to
the resolutions committee OF the Re
publican National Committee.
The farmers were represented by
two organizations before the commit
tee, the National Board of Farm Or
CARNATIONS, Charles S. Barrett, of
Union City, Ca, president. and the
Farmers National Council, Benjamin
C. Marsh. OF Washington. d. c., direc-
tor of legislation.
Organizations Coanict.
The two organizations are not in
accord on the question OF Government
ownership of the railroads. The
Farmers National Council insists
upon a plank declaring for Govern
ment ownership, while the National
Board OF Farm Organizations is not
ready to press a demand for such a
plank.
Immediate repeal Of the merchant
marine bill, recently passed by Con-
gress and providing for sale OF the
Government owned merchant marine,
is demanded by the Farmers National
Council.
Platfern offered.
Other planks demanded by the
Farmers National Council are as fol-
lows:
Legislation to make personal credit
cheap and available to agriculture.
Legislation providing for license
and control of the packing industry.
Legislation to protect farmers CO.
operative organizations conducted for
mutual benefit.
Strengthening and extension of the
Federal farm loan system.
Government ownership and demo
cratic operation" of the railroads.
Continuance OF the high taxes upon
large incomes and taxation Of all war
profits until the war debt is paid, and
the levying of q tax upon all national
resources held for speculative pur-
poses.
Legislation to prohibit the aliena-
tion by lease or patent of mineral
lands or water-power resources, still
in the public ownership.

Common Sense of Convention

It's q financial con-

This isn't political convention It's financial con
The managers of this convention don't seem to care
what the people want what the delegates want.
The question with these machine managers is not WHO
CAN BE THE MOST SURELY ELECTED but WHO
WILL BE THE MOST sERvIOEABLE AFTER HE Is
ELECTED? EE
There not delegate in the convention hall who
know that Johnson the strongest before the pub
hc and that the day that he is nominated the election
surely -.~
There is hardly delegate who does not hope in his
heart that johnson will be nominated that every Re-
publican politician will get the benefit of Johnson's pop
uarity and be safe in his State and his district
And yet the delegates do not yet know whether they
are going to be allowed to vote for Johnson or not
The delegates waiting to hear what the machine
managers want and the machine managers waiting to
hear what the big interests want
And the big interests? They waiting and wondering
whether it would be safe to down Johnson in the
present temper of the public mind whether the smooth
running machines without the power of public opinion be-
hind them could really elect of the superseceable
gentlemen whom the big interests want
It's knotty problem, and the big interests think
ing very hard They realize that the Republican party
might be changed night from winner to
loser.
The big interests want Lowden He is one of them
selves by adoption, it he would allow himself to
harnessed and haered and would stand tched to any
post but he has njudcously permitted himself to be in
volved in criminal bribery scandal and what is
allowed
stalking horse is of to the big interests after
the public finds out that he is stalking horse I'm vain
is the net spread in the sight of any bird
The public has to know Lowden for what he is
and furthermore the public has objection to
seeing delegates bought and sold and the presidency hawkd
about to the highest bidder.
Lowden can be nominated but he cannot be elected
The big interests know that. They have something
than wrinkles in the back of their necks They have
voutions in their gray matter That's the way they
to be big interests.
So Lowden will not be nominated.
Dark horses already being groomed, currycombed
and brushed sleek and rotted out for the inspection of

Sproul had his day yesterday but Sproul did not
win points and led dejecedy back to his Penn

light and pebald but of them is going to

who can surely win.

Meeting Another Test

W. HEN the railroads were turned back
w to their owners few months ago
the complaint rang loud and clear from
all railroad executives that their proper-
ties were starved financially that they
could not hope 10 produce results with
cut vast amount of new revenue which
i'll turn. would attract vast amount OF
new and needed capital, and, finally, the
government. under its pledge contained in
the Esch-Cummins act. was bound to pro-
vide the roads with Il net revenue OF moi
less than 5 y per cent
The country gave heed to this cry of
distress. The JntertaSte Commerce Com
mission gave heed to it, and after protract-
ed hearings, financing scheme was evolved
The railway executives presented budget
showing that they needed approximately
SlllS,o00,00O in order to give them an
earning capacity Of s II per cent on their
fair valuation. While their petition for
this amount of money was pending. the
Railroad Labor Board awarded about SG25.-
100000 in increased wages TO railroad la
Dor. This made the sum which the execu-
tives would need, according to their calcu-
iations, somewhat more than 81 600 900 :
coo
VIVA, the railroad in concrete terms
wanted was horizontal increase of virtu-
ally 40 per cent on all Eastern railroad
rates, q rs per cent increase in Southern
territory and 80 per cent increase in West
ern territory. These increases with certain
advances In passenger rates would provide
me necessary money it was argued Incl
dcntaly the railroad executives fixed a book
valuation on their properties at slightly
more than twenty billions of dollars. II
was upon this valuation that the roads
wanted TO make ) Y per cent net
After hearing all sides of the case, the
commission has now granted the railroads
{ substantially all they asked for. The East
cTh lines We're given Il little more: the
Southern lines somewhat less and the
! Western lines about what was laid down
III the original petition. The ONLY prom
osition upon which the railroads were oc

sion found that these properties have fair
value OF S1S,90O,O00, 5000, and that is the
valuation upon which the roads NAV not
