that the business men of the ccuntry-that Is the

prospect for such relief seems slight
The country may, however 6e treated 20 a dis

Tt has been recognized that France loss in live

HARDING ON FARMING

President Harding last week in a
message to the agricultural interests
of the country, assured the farmer,
that everything possible to relieve
the present stringent situation gov
erning markets, would be undertaken
by the administration.
In taking this attitude, Mr..
Harding has hit upon the keynote of
the entire unsettled condition in the
nation. Interference by the govern
ment in market control, will put a
speedy end to the gambling in the
pits which is responsible for ninety
nine per cent of the market trouble.
A little direct attention paid the
farmer by past administrations would
have prevented radicalism. The far.
mer would not find it necessary tc
unite in equity to receive a fair price
for his produce. There would be less
millionaries in the country, but there
would be more prosperous farmers.
The administration bases its hur.
ried action upon a fear of decreased

MORE GOVT. OWNERSHIP?

A plea is now being made by the
National Association of Owners OF
Railroad Securities to have the gov
eminent again take over the man
agement of railroads in the United
States.
The security owners maintain that
government control, only, will solv'
the present railroad crisis and that
better and more complete service will
be rendered under such conditions.
1T is hard to believe with our re-
cent experience with government
control of railroads, that such pro-
ject is again being considered.
The owners state further that such
a condition of affairs would have a
tendency to reduce freight. and pas
senger rates-that a fair and steady
employment system would result.
1t is all we'll and good to present
such an argument, but there is a bare
probability that this line of chatter
will not "go down" with the public.
The United States has learned its
lesson in government control. 1t has
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-03-24

witnessed the vast expenditures Of
the government in maintaining its
red tape system at Washington. The
public has paid the salaries of hum
dreds of unnecessary clerks that this
experiment might be made and it
has witnessed the increase in freight
and passenger rates until it has be-
come absolutely opposed to further
experimenting with this socalistic
plan.
If the railroads are losing money
just now, they are only meeting with
the same pitfalls that are confront
ing thousands of other business ven
lures. Why should the tax payers
be called upon to meet the losses and
salvage the property of few mil
lionaire railroad magnates?
The railroads ask high freights
as an answer to higher wages;
these high freights increase living
expenses of the working man. Let
the railroads take their losses with
the rest of the nations business. A
reduction of freight rates would 60 a
long ways towrad reducing the cost
of living and eventually, the cost of
labor.
