SLIGHT REDUCTION IN
RATES IN EFFECT NOW

A part of the freight rate reduc-
tions, promised for some time, are
now effective. The milling-in-transit
privilege, which was most needed,
went into effect this week, as well as
a slight reduction between here and
the Texas line g.
Formerly the rate to points in
Texas on the Santa Fe was 80 cents,
with an additional three cents for
points off the Santa Fe. The rate now
effective, to a7v point in TEXAS is
37la cents. While the milling in
transit privilege assists local grain
in competition with Texas shippers,
it does not enable them to pay a
higher price for the grain, for the
reduction to the principal Texas mar
kets is less than one cent per bushel
under the former rate.
Reductions on shipments west have
not yet gone into effect, and points
as far east as Kansas City are able
to ship to western markets at the
same rate Athat is charged on ship
ments from Clovis.

URGES COOPERATION
TO BEAT PACKERS
Gov. Mechem Declares Packers Can
Only be Regulated by a Counter
Combination Of Producers.

A counter combination of the pro-
ducers against the packers was sug-
gested by Governor M. C. Mechem as
the only means of getting their fair
share Of the proceeds of the cattle
industry, in an address delivered at
Albuquerque this week to the dele
gates of the New Mexico Cattle and
Horse Growers Association at their
seventh annual convention.
"A great deal of blame for the Cat
tie growers present situation is plac-
ed upon the packer" Governor Me,
chem stated. But have never been
in favor Of laws hedging in that end
of the industry. The packers are a
natural evolution of the business and
the only way stockmen can secure
their own is through a counter or
ganization, which will, to my notion
prove the solution to the problem and
get the grower what is justly coming
to him out of the retail price of his
product"
Governor Mechem expressed the be-
lief that in spite of any Legislation
curtailing the packers, they will con
tinue in existence along present lines
Legislation only curtails and impedei
their progress" he declared. "Ant
seems to ultimately point to govern
ment operation which no one shoul'
favor for very few believe in the sue
cess Of government ownerihip"
Concluding Governor Mechem said
"The only way to successfully comba
the packers is by counter-combinatiol
through the close cooperation of tn
producers"
