WASHINGTON NOTES
No Prosperity in Destruction.

Pretending great concern for the
welfare of American farmers, the
foreign potash producers are arguing
against an import duty on that COM
modify. They tell the farmers that
an import tax will be added to the
price. the farmer must pay. That line
of talk reminds us of the argument
that was made prior to 1890 when it
was proposed to put a tax on tin plate.
The representatives of Welsh tin
plate manufacturers assured the Amer
lean people that the tax would be add
ed to the cost of tin and that every
one who bought tin or anything pack
ed in tin would pay the tax. Never
theless, the Republicans imposed a
protective duty on tin plate, a large
American tin plate industry was built
up, and, under the influence of large
production, the cost of production and
the price to the consumer rapidly went
down. Tin plate never sold for as
much under protection as it did under
free trade, except, perhaps, for a short
time while American factories were
getting under way.
The fact of the matter is that un-
der free trade the foreign producer
supplies the market and there is no
domestic competition to keep the price
down. The importer dictates the price.
Under protection there is a healthy
home market and home production is
developed to such an extent as to Gre
ate competition at home. 1t is easier
to control an imported commodity than
a domestic commodity. 1t is a safe
prediction that once we have establish
ed a strong home potash industry the
agriculturalists will buy their fertiliz-
ers cheaper at home than they ever
have abroad.
But even if they paid as much for
the home product. they would gain tie
advantage resultant from keeping the
money at home to furnish employment
for worl1men who are consumers of
American farm products instead of
sending it to foreign countries to pay
the wages Of foreign workmen. Areri-
can industries must stand or fall to-
gether. Half of them cannot prosper
on the destruction of the other half.

Arthur AitiSen did all this. For the

American Farm Bureau
Federation ANN

Federation Annual Meeting.
The third annual meeting of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
held in Atlanta November 21-23, more
than fulfilled the predictions made
that it would be the most important
meeting of farmers ever held. More
than 4 900 delegates and visitors from
46 states and several foreign countries
assembled to hear reports of the past
years achievements and help formu-
late plans for next years work
President j. K. Howard in his mas
terly address pointed out the uneco-
nomic world conditions and suggested
relief measures that We're founded on
sound logic. He reviewed the Fedora
tion's work for the past ten months
and set forth the problems now CON
fronting agriculture. He suggested
lines of activity toward which the or
ganization could turn its energies dur
ing the coming twelve months.
Transportation, labor conditions,
production, cooperative marketing.
were particularly stressed. A brief
sketch was given of the development
of the commodity marketing idea
which the federation has fostered.
In the last moments Of his speech,
President Howard gripped the interest
Of his audience with the picture of the
economic woes of America and the
world.
"The year through which we have
just passed has been the most disas-
trous of American agriculture. You
know this as well as J. And the cause
of it all you have-both frequently dis
cussed yourselves and have heard dis
cus1ed by others on many occasions
A world war followed by too rapidly
forced deflation and an unbalanced
production spell the principal causes.
The war itself was a crime-the rap
id deflation unnccessary-th unbal-
anccd production disastrous alike to
agriculture and business"

\ Rate Drop in the Bucket.

The announced railroad rate cut of
10 per cent. on farm products may
mean to the shipper only few dol
lars a carload saved on his grain, vege-
tables or livestock. But it means to
the carriers S55.OOO,OOO a year less on
that business.
The freight reductions already put
into effect by the roads are estimated
TO run between Sl75 ,OOO, 900 and $780,
100000 \ year When the agricultural
rate revisions actually are made the
whole reduction may be not far from
$3.50, 900, 900 year
The 100000 reduction on food
products and the possible $3.50. 100000
reduction on all traffic, therefore, are
nothing more than beginning of the
pairing away which must be done on
the three billions of dollars added to
the public's transportation bills in half
dozen years. To achieve anything
like the required liquidation OF trans
portation there will have to come off
the freight and passenger charges a
series Of rate reductions in blocks of
hundreds Of millions of dollars each.
Nobody who looks at the annual state
ments Of the Glass 1 roads can have
She least doubt that If they are to get
three billions of dollars Off the traffic
charges, or two billions off, or only
single billion Oft, the carriers can cut
that amount only out of the operating
expenses.
But if the railroads Of the United
States in 1920 had got such of their
operating expenses rs fuel for nothing,
if they had got their materials and
supplies for nothing, if they had not
had to pay a dollar Of insurance or loss
and damage-if the railroads in 1920
had not had 10 pay out a solitary red
cent for single thing but labor and
taxes those two items of labor and
taxes would have taken nearly four
billions OF dollars. The exact expendi-
lures were: Labor, % 1898 ZIG .351; tax
es, S27s. .S6s SOS; total for both, 49,
977Os5, ,O19. "
There is no way to make the rail-
roads self-supporting while getting
the rates down to the level they must
reach before the public can generally
and materially benefit except to cut
the labor costs, along with every other
operating cost, and let these savings

The 5:55-55
BY ANNIE E. E. SIMMONS.

(S. 1890. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)
On the official time table the Com
muters' Unaccommodation was sched-
uled as the 8 :55, but all Of the friends
and neighbors who knew and loved
Peg Roberts called II the 5 1858. II
you will bear In mind, as Peg did. that
officially the train would not leave be-
fore $3.50, you will readily deduce
Pegs habit and you Will also catch
wee glimpse Of her charming person
ality. which meant that never. under
any circumstances. did she have an
idle hnlf-minute on her hands.
When called TO account for this she
explained that she was doing her part
to defeat Satan In his effort to find
work for her. and In this wise she
was victor.
But when one afternoon Peg became
overzealous In her battle against Sa-
tan and his employment agency, she
rushed for the train, she stampeded
toward Il through a nearby gate, iip-
PEELED TO greater and yet more grace
full speed by the formidable "all
aboard" which she heard ahead-and
then, with one final effort she made II,
not by the skin Of her teeth but by the
aid Of good right arm, and not her
own right arm, either.
And then, poor Peggy. She came in,
so to speak. then and there for the
most carefully and emphatically given
lecture which she had received since
her schooldays. She received movie
synopsis ten verbal reels long. Before
the amused commuters she heard OF
the futile folly of Just such acts as
hers which he had witnessed many
times before. She was told of the
dangers to life and limb. of the fool
ishness Of such last-minute leaps, and
meek-appearing Peggy only bowed
her head in acquiescence and denied
II In her soul.
Then the friends. the nervous few
who worry for every regular" on the
train, those who take a delight in see
ing that the conductor collects each
and every ticket, that the brakeman
calls every station. although they know
that the entire car-full is as familiar
with the road as they themselves
then they. too, added their voices,
and Peg was again told of the dangers
of her "eleventh-hour-ness." as some
called IL.
But the owner of the good right arm,
supported by the brains and Drawn of
the most attractive and eligible male
in the same community. then came to
her rescue again, this time, as before,
TO uphold her. although in argument
rather than In deed. Quietly he apol-
oglzed for his former remarks. Peg
had perfect right, so he said. to
catch the train on the fly, as 1t were,
and he regretted subjecting her to the
forces around and their insistent lee
lures and remarks. He further re-
gretted having made her such a sub
ject of conversation and observation,
and please. might he have an oppor-
tunity to apologize in private. to ex-
plain further his sorrow over the en-
tire Incident, barring the real one of
her boarding the train itselff
