Hon. Mack Cook, J. o. G. c., Pre-

This day came Fonzo Midkiff, Will

be changed and that the lines when
changed be as follows:
Beginning at Rough Creek at Slate
Rifle; thence running straight line,
a southerly direction to the Hartford

RAILROAD RATES WILL
RUIN FARMING BUSINESS

UNLESS we can readjust our rail-
road rates we will have to re-write
the whole agricultural geography of
the United States" declared Secreta-
ry of Commerce, Herbert C. Hoover,
before the executive committee of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
in Washington last week. "Our pres
ent rates will soon move our granaries
to foreign shores, for today it costs
80 cents per bushel to ship grain from
Missouri to New York and the same
amount can be shipped by water from
Argentina for 10 cents. We should
take a lesson from Europe and think
of our agriculture. Those countries
have developed industry to the de-
triment of agriculture, have i'm
periled their national defense and ev-
en- their civilization. We cannot af-
ford to depend upon overseas for our
food, for it undermines our basic in
dustry.
I'VE cannot afford to protect our
foreign commerce without giving at
tention step by step to the develop
ment and production of our agricul-
ture. wish to express my approval
of the excellent work which the Am

proposal to relieve corporations
whose earnings go up to 200 per cent
and more and tax food, fuel shelter
and clothing is unthinkable in sane
country. The claim that corporations
are being strangled hardly seems to
be borne out by the facts. Statistics
furnish some Illuminating side lights;
the net earnings of corporations in
1909 were $3.50, 100000 and in
1919 $500, 100000. The new capt.

years was $4,000, 100000 for 1918,
$12, 100000 for 1919 and $14,-

Much is needed in a legislative
way!
Nearly four times as many moth
ers and infants die each year as there
were American soldiers killed in the
war.
Physicians believe this could be
prevented by proper care. Statistics
of seventeen countries show that the
United States, with two exceptions,
has the highest death rate among
mothers. The United States stands
eighth in the list in the death rate
of infants.
There is no reason why America
should not have fewer deaths than
any other country. That is why we
have been fighting for the Sheppard
Towner bill
And that is why mothers in Am
erica must use the power of the vote
to get other legislation that means
he betterment of America.
A western member of the National
League OF Women Voters recently re-
ferred to the present-day legislation
as coming under the head of:
