enough capital so that you can afford

HARDING ATTENDS
RAIL CONF ERENCE
Freight Rate Cut Is Advised by
the President.
AT INTERSTATE COMMISSION
Members of Body Discuss Lower
Charges With the Executive, Who
Walks From His Office to
Their Headquarters.

Washington, June 2. - President
Harding has taken his first important
step toward solving the railway prob
lem. He discussed reduced freight
rates with members Of the Interstate
commerce commission. He didn't make
a direct request, for a President isn't
supposed to ask the interstate com
rnerce commission, quasi-judieial
body, to render any decisions. Woodrow
Wilson had some informal conferences
once with members of the interstate
commerce commission and was severe
~ criticized for trying to influence the
commission to revise rates.
A Bolder Course.
President Harding adopted a much
more direct and even holder course,
which unquestionably will establish a
precedent and brush aside for all time
the technical criticism that Presi-
dent can't communicate with the in
terstate commerce commissions
Mr. Harding walked from his Office
to the commission. distance of three
blocks, virtually unrecognized by street
crowds.
When he entered the interstate COM
merce commission building he was rec
ognized by an elevator man who took
him Immediately to the Office Of
Chairman Clark. Mr.. Harding re-
quested that he be given opportunity
to talk to all the members together.
He is understood to have told them
that he desired to consult with them
very informally. suggesting that since
he had an official right to communicate
with congress regarding rates, he as
snmed that he could communicate in
the same way with its rate-making
agent, the commission.
inquiries About Rates.
The President then made inquiries
concerning the general progress of the
commission in revising the particular
horizontal rates which the administra-
ton believes has put more burden on
certain commodities than they can
bear.
He expressed much qualification TO
learn that the commission already was
at work on a revision of such rates
and was said to have been particular
~ pleased at the suggestion Of a vol
untary agreement among carriers to
make the desired reduction.
Referring to the many complaints
which have come to the White House
about fruit rates in the West, Mr. Har-
ding expressed hope that these SEIZED
ules were among those whose revision
Is under consideration. He was in.
formed that although no definite steps
had been taken, the fruit schedules
had been informally passed under re-
view and some action was q possibil-
/ ity of the near future.

AFTER PRICE FIxERs
DAUGHERTY TO MOVE AGAINST
CERTAIN ASSOCIATIONS.
Believed by Administration Ii Has
Found Principal Cause of
High Costs.

Washington, June 2.-The admins
tration has found what it believes to
be one of the principal causes for the
high cost OF living.
And in finding it there is also found
an answer to the question continually
being asked by the farmers:
why is it that everything we have
to buy still has the wartime price tag
attached, while everything we sell is
down to rock bottom in price?"
The answer, according to surveys by
the Department of Justice and the
Department of Commerce, is found i'm
the 400-odd associations organized
along industrial lines and which are
still operating under "amicable UNDER
standings and "gentlemen's agree
ments" regarding prices and selling
territories.
The investigation of these associa-
tions by government agents has so far
only tapped the surface of conditions,
but they have disclosed enough to

Farmers Should Co.
Operate WhhAgents

Farmers who continue to believe
that their county agent is simply a
purveyor of canned advice, an errand
boy or an eXperimenter carrying ar
ound in the back of his rafting car
a sack of choice seed for very limit
ed distribution or a few pounds of
fertilizer for application to few
plats on the farms of his special
friends, are overlooking, it appears,
the magnitude of the service which
may be extracted by keeping in touch
with the possibilities of this import
ant development work and getting
back Of it in a community way to
realize the benefits available.
One farmer writing on two occa-
sions in a farm paper referred to the
fact that the county agent in his
county seldom visited his particular
district and also commented unfav-
orably on the fact that distillate is off
the market and gasoline high in price.
Both these difficulties have been
largely overcome in four Oregon
counties through cooperation be-
tween the farmers and the county
agricultural agents and there is moth
ing apparent to prevent the exten
sion of such service to other coun-
ties. When it was learned last sum-
mer that distillate was off the mar
ket the Office of the state leader of
county agents assisted Fred Bennion,
county agent in Umatilla county, in
locating a supply in California and
twenty-seven carloads were shipped
as a result of pooled orders into
Umatilla county. Seventeen carloads
were likewise shipped into three
other counties and the saving to the

able power and authority pertain
ing to the government of Alaska.
The powers transferred from the
War and Treasury Departments, by
Senator News bill, are purely ad-
ministrative, dealing with construc-
ton and maintenance of roads in Al
aska. The purpose of the bill is to
consolidate and centralize the au-
thority for government in Alaska in
one department and under one head,
thus eliminating duplication of ex-
pense and effort, as we'll as fixing
responsibility for affairs in Alaska.
A very important section of the
bill provides that the United States
Shipping Board shall transfer to the
Department Of the Interior such
ships, as may be designated by the
President, Of suitable capacity for
handling the maritime passenger and
freight carrying trade between the
United States and Alaska, including
all military forces, U. S. mails and
other government property. These
ships, together with the government
railroad in Alaska, shall be operated
in conjunction under the manage
ment Of the Secretary of the Inter-
ior, subject to the same jurisdiction
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion as that commission has over
the transportation lines in the Uni
ted States.
This is of vital importance to the
development Of Alaska. The United
States Government has expended
over $50,00O,0O0 in building a rail
road in Alaska, the main line of
which is to run from Seward to
Fairbanks. This railroad, however,
cannot perform its intended func-
tions Of the development Of the in

Affairs Of Alaska
to be Considered

Congress is going to give a
thought to Alaska, which has too
long been the Cinderella of the Uni
ted States. Acquired 81 years ago
for a paltry price, Alaska has ex-
perienced a career either of too much
government or no government at all.
For II years after its purchase by
the United States it was without any
civil government 1t was 80 years
before it was permitted to have a del
egate in Congress and 4 years before
il was permitted to have territorial
government Equal in size to one
Fifth the area Of continental United
States, its natural resources are the
most valuable of any section of the
United States.
Despite this, Alaska has either
been exploited by private individuals
or has had its development arrested
by a system of strangling red-tape.
At the present, it is said that there
are 80 odd federal government agen-
cieS which have to do, in some way
or another, with governing Alaska.
The result is hopeless confusion, in
terminable delay, conflict and over
lapping Of authority and division of
responsibility, all of which have op-
Grated, on the whole, to defeat the
development Of that territory.
Senator New, of Indiana, chairman
of the Senate Committee on Terri
tories, has introduced bill which
it is understood has the endorsement
of the Administration, that will 90
