ASKS IMMEDIATE
FREIGHT CUT ON
FARM PRODUCTS
Joint Commission Ready
To Submit Findings
To Congress.

Immediate reduction in freight
rates on agricultural products will
be recommended to Congress by the
Joint commission on agricultural
inquiry, which has made an ex-
haustive study into railroad con-
ditions. Representative Sydney An
derson. Minnesota, chairman of the
commission, announced last night
A slash in rates not only will ef-
feet the economic regeneration of
the farmer. but will strengthen the
tentire economic fabric of the coun-
try, 1t Is stated.
THE commission has decided to
report to- Congress that the trans
portation rates on many commodi-
ties. especially the products Of ag-
riculture, bear a disproportSonate
relation to the price OF such COM
modities." Anderson said. I'VE
will report that immediate reduc-
ton In transportation rates should
be first applied to farm products
and other basic commodities"
Big Factor In Prices.
Readjustment of rates as nearly
as possible to those existing prior
to 1918 Is urged on the railroads
and rate-making bodies. Invcsti-
cation has disclosed that freight
rates on perishables normally
make one third of the selling price
and frequently two-thirds. Ander-
son said.
Farmers are keenly interested in
rate reductions of steel. coal and
lumber, as they consume 30 per
! cent of the country's steel produc-
ton, from 20 to % per cent OF
the coal and &c per cent of the
lumber. Anderson said. Prices or
| coal now are far above the 1915
level and the commission believes
that a reduction in prices all along
the line from the mines to the
consumer would probably be
promptly" reflected in improved
business conditions.
Relief for Cotton Growers.
DEPRESSING from the agricultural
| situation. the commission reported
that the wages of the coal indus.
try should be considered IN tn.
light of prevailing economic con.
/ ditions.
Pointing to the effect Of higher
| freight rates on cotton, the com.
| mission states:
"Any increase in freight rates
presses with undue severity utor
the cotton producer, because of tn,
| high cost per bale of cotton pro.
| duction. II is pertinent TO call at
| tention to the fact that the export
cotton has in The past been thu
! principal faCtor- in balancing tn,
