MEXICO COUNTY MISSOURI THURSDAY AUGUST
LOWER FREIGHT
RATES IMPERATIVE
SAYS WALLACE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Rail-
roads must share with the farmers
and others the burden of the present
economic situation by reducing
freight rates, Secretary Wallace said
Thursday before the interstate COM
merce commission, which is investiga-
ting rates on grain and hay.
High freight rates have stopped
production, the secretary said, adding
that if the present situation continued
production from the farms would be
reduced materially.
Eve cannot afford to let our agri-
culture be destroyed" he declared
"In attempting to relieve the distress
of the farmers we are dealing with
great economic forces. All our people
ought to share the burden of the
present depression"
The farmer was now bearing more
than his share of the economic load,
he said, because the purchasing power
of farm products was below the aver.
age of other commodities. He pre-
sented figures to show that in Iowa
the purchasing power of oats was DO
per cent of what it was from 1909 to
1914.

EXPLAINS DELAY
IN NAMING OF
COUNTYSURVEYOR

A letter from j. P. Painter, Secre-
tary to Governor Hyde, to r. M.
White explains the cause of the delay
in naming a man for the office Of sur
veyor in Audrain County.
The county court had recommended
the name Of Ben c. Elliott, but a dis
patch from Jefferson City stated that
they were of the opinion there that
Elliott was an architect and not a
sGrveyor.
The letter follows:
R. M. White,
Mexico, Missouri.
MY Dear Mr.. White:
Answering your letter of August
10Th relative to appointment of sur
veyor in your county beg to advise
that the difficulty seems to be that
no one has been suggested for the
place who is fully qualified. We have
asked the Attorney General for an
opinion as to whether this appoint
ment must go to some resident Of
that County. The matter will be
given as speedy attention as possible
as soon as we have this opinion.
Yours very truly,
Up. PAINTER.
Secretary.
L. McF. Gamble, chairman Of the
Audrain County Republican Com
mittee, stated in in interview Mon
day that "the appointment was not
held up on account Of any political
reason but because members of the
county court had impressed on me
the fact that they wanted an able
man."

Cattle raisers, dealers and shippers
