More Relief For Farmer.

Something more than tariff protec-
ticn is required by American agricul-
urc. TO the farmer have come the
earlier and the heavier burdens OF
readiustment. There ia actual depres.
sion tn our agricultural industry,
perity ~ the country.

Congress has sought very earnestly
TO provide relief II has promptly
given such temporary relief as has
been pnssihle but tho call IL insistcnt
for tho permanent solution. II Is In
evltable that large crops lower the
prices and short crops advance them.
No legislation can cure that fundn-
mental law. But there must be some
economic solution for tho excessive
variation IN returns for agricultural
production.
1t Is rather shocking to be told. and
to have the statement strongly sup
ported, that nine million bales OF cot
ton. raised on American plantations
in given year. win actually be worth
more to the producers than thirteen
million bales would have been. Equal

clothing which they cannot get, such
a condition is sure to indict the socia

Cooperation In Marketing.

In the main the remedy lies in dis
tribution and marketing. Every
proper. encouragement should be
given to the cooperative marketing
programs. These have proven very
helpful to the cooperation communi-
ties In Europe. In Russia the CO.
operative community has become the
recognized bulwark of law ana order,
and saved individualism from engult-
ment in social paralysis. Ultimately
they will be accredited with the saliva
ton of the Russian state.
There is the appeal for this expert
ment. Why not try it? No one chal-
lenges the right of the farmer to A
larger share OF the consumers pay
for his product. no. one can dispute
that we cannot live without the
farmer. He is justified in rebelling
against the transportation cost. Given
a fair return for his labor, he will
have less occasion to appeal for imam
cial aid: and given assurances that
his labors shall not be in vain, we
reassure all the people of production
sufficient to- meet our national require
ments and guard against disaster.

Discriminating Freight Rates.

The existing scheme of adjusting
freight rates has been favoring the
basing points, until industries are at
lracted TO some centers and repealed
from others. A great volume Of un-
economic and wasteful transportation
has attended. and the cost increased
accordingly. The grain milling and
meat packing industries afford ample
illustration, and the attending con-
centration Is readily apparent. The
menaces in concentration are not
limited TO the retarding influences on
agriculture.
