BLAMED
FOR FARM PLIGHT

Washington Aug. 15.-Bankers,
economists and farmers. testifying
today before the interstate com
mercs cOmmis5iOn, attributed the
present plight Of western agrieul-
turists In a large measure 70 high
freight rates on grain products and
hay. The testimony was presented
In case growing out Of complaint
against present rates by the Kansas
public utilities commission, and
Joined in by nineteen other state
commissions and By various shippers
and producers organizations. The
hearing Is expected to be concluded
Friday, and arguments viii begin
Immediately thereafter.
F. w. Peck, director Of the agri-
cultural extension department Of the
University Of Minnesota, said that
the farmer depended upon his profit
on labor and that grain producers
now were receiving but Is cents an
hour. on the average, for their labor.
Any decrease In freight rates would
be added directly 10 this Is cents an
hour, he contended, and would ma
terially increase the profit of the
farmers. A decrease in freight rates
Of 2 cents bushel would represent
an increase of 22 per cent on this
profit, he said.
j. X. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation.
said that prices on grain were fixed
where the surplus accumulates, US
ually in Liverpool, and that this
price, less commissions and the cost
OF transporting the grain to the
points where the prices are made.
was what the producer received.
Therefore, he added, any increase or
decrease in freight rates was felt d.
rectly by the farmer.
Commissioner Potter injected into
the hearing several times the com
paratiye price received by the farm
err for his labor and that received BY
the railroad employee, and while Mr..
Peck was testifylng asked that the
economist prepare for the commits
sion a table comparing the two rates
OF pay. In reply TO a question as to
whether the farmer, the railroad So
curity holders or the railroad en-
plovee5 suffered most under present
conditions, Mr. Howard expressed
the opinion that the farmers and
the security holders probably were
both hard hit"
We must all share alike in the
present readjustment, and the farm
g Is taking less than a reasonable
revenue Mr. Howard said in reply
to question as to whether the rail
roads should be denied reasonable
revenue
Both Mir, Howard and Mr.. Peck

PROSPECTORS OF NEVADA
ARE OFT IN HILLS AGAIN

The mining prospector, who al
most disappeared from the hills of
Nevada during the high tide OF war
wages and war prosperity, is rapidly
going back TO his old calling, ac-
cording to reports which are coming
in from all sections Of the state. Once
again, according to mining men, it is
possible to encounter prospectors in
most every mineralized range or
district, and they predict an increase
in ore discoveries as a result.
The decrease in the number of
active prospectors soon after the war
was one Of the unexpected develop
ments of that disturbing event. The
scarcity Of labor and the high rate Of
wages paid drew thousands of men
from the search Of precious metals
and landed them in the mines, on the
farms or in the construction crews of
the railroad companies. With the
slowing down Of industry. however,
they have become footloose and thew
are taking to the bills again from all
sections of the state.
Hundreds from Ely, and southern
Nevada camps and Phoebe are look
ing for mineral, and it will be many
years. before there is another such
deserticn as that which occurred
during the war period, according to
hose who profess to Silver
State.

Special to The Chieftain:
Denver, March 21.-The two
houses began the weeks work with
the consideration of the primary bill
in the house. and the roads commits
sioner bill in the senate. The prim-
ary bill as it finally came from the
judiciary committee and was present.
cd to the house, provides a semi
primary and a semi-conventlon law
Should it go thru as it is being con-
sidered by the house. 1t will carry out
the provisions as drafted by Repres-
cntatives Stubblefield and Mortcn-
sen, of Pueblo, to a very great extent.
1t will carry a section providing for
general precinct primaries OF the
largest attendance possible, at which
primaries delegates to county con-
ventions will be elected. Such con-
ventions will have the largest number
of members possible. These county
ficers and elect delegates to the other
conventions. The other conventions
will nominate their candidates direct.
Another feature of the bill pro-
vides that il certain precent of the
people of n county or of the state or
of any legal division of the state or
county petition for Il primary on any
office, it shall be held. If the state
convention should nominate some
man for Governor and certain per

mans party should petition for a
primary, then a primary would have
to be held for that office alone, and
all persons who desire may run for
the nomination for that office. One

PRIMARY AND ROAD COMMISSIONER
BILL CONSIDERED BY ASSEMBLY

opposition in the senate provides that
the party officials may make rules
for controlling political party prim-
aries and conventions, and the bill
provides a penalty for the violation
of those rules. In other words, the
bill is providing penalty for the
violation of rules that will not be in
existence until the political parties
draft them thru their State Central
Committees one year from now.
Many members of the house feel that
advantage might be taken ito draft
rules that would be punishable where
punishment should not occur.
The good roads bill as it is being
considered by the senate is in no way
the bill that passed the house. In
fact, the roads and bridges commit
tee of the senate took out everything
| in the house below the enacting
clause, and submitted their own bill.
1t provides for II coinmission of
| seven instead of one commissioner.
1t divides the state into seven general
districts, instead of four. 1t provides
| that the commissioner shall distri-
| butte the funds, and employ the road
engineer. In fact the commission of
| seven is given all of the power that
the house bill gave to the commits
| sioner.
If the senate passes it in this form,
the house will undoubtedly reject,
and "A conference committee will re-
suit. The Governor has said that he
