Now that the farmers are stirring,
thinking, and uniting as never before
to eradicate these inequalities, they
are subjected to stern economic lee
lures, and are met with the accusation
that they are demanding. enc are the
recipients of, special privileges. Let
us see what privileges the government
has conferred on the farmers. Much
has been made Of Section 6 Of the
Clayton Antitrust Act, which pur-
ported to permit them to combine with
immunity, under certain conditions.
Admitting that, nominally, this ex-
emption was in the nature of special
privilege,-though I think 1t was so in
appearance rather than in fact,-we
find that the courts have nullified 1t
by judicial Interpretation. Why should
not the farmers be permitted to ac-
complish by cooperative methods what
other businesses are already doing by
cooperation in the form of incorpora-
tion2 II 1t be proper for men to form,
by fusion Of existing corporations or
otherwise, a corporation that controls
the entire production Of a commodity,
or a large part Of it, why Is it not
proper for group Of farmers to unite
for the marketing Of their common
products, either In one or In several
selling agencies? Why should 1t be
right for hundred thousand corporate
shareholders to direct 25 or 80 or 40
per cent Of an industry, am --rong for
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser., 1922-01-13
"

Now, what is the farmer asking?
Without trying to catalogue the re-
medal measures that have been sug-
gested in his behalf, the principal pro-
posals that bear directly on the I'm
provement of his distributing and mar
keting relations may be summarized as
follows
First: storage warehouses for cot
ton, wool, and tobacco, and elevators
for grain, of sufficient capacity to meet
the maximum demand on them at the
peak of the marketing period. The
farmer thinks that either private capi-
tai must furnish these facilities, or the
state must erect and own the eleva-
tors and warehouses;
Second: weighing and grading of
agricultural products, and certiticaton
thereof, to be done by impartial and
disinterested public inspectors (this Is
already accomplished to some extent
by the federal licensing of weighers
and graders), to eliminate underpay-
ing, overcharging, and unfair grading,
and to facilitate the utilization of the
stored products as the basis Of credit.
Third: certainty Of credit sufficient
to enable the marketing Of products
In an orderly manner.
Fourth: the Department Of Agricul-
ture should collect, tabulate, summa-
rize, and regularly and frequently pub
lish and distribute to the farmers full
information from all the markets of
the world. so that they shall be as well
informed Of their selling position as
buyers now are Of their buying posi-
ton.
Fifth: freedom to integrate the busi-
ness Of agriculture by means of con-
solidated selling agencies, co-ordinat
ing and cooperating in such way as to
put the farmer on an equal footing
with the large buyers Of his products,
and with commercial relations in other
Industries.
When business requires specialized
talent, 1t has to buy it. So will the
farmers; and perhaps the best way for
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser., 1922-01-13

then to gCl it would be to L re some
Of the present machinery of the larg-
est established agencies dealing In
farm products OF course, If he wishes,
the farmer may go further and engage
in flour milling and other manufac ctures
Of food products. In my opinion,
however he would be wise to stop
short of that. Public interest may be
opposed to all great integrations; but,
In justice, should they be forbidden to
the farmer and permitted to others?
The corporate form of association can
not now be wholly adapted to his OBJ
jects and conditions The looser CO.
operative form seems more generally
suitable Therefore, he wishes to be
free, IL he finds it desirable and feas-
ible, to resort to cooperation with his
fellows and neighbors, without run
ming afoul Of the law. To urge that
the farmers should have the same lib
erty to consolidate and coordinate
their peculiar economic functions,
which other industries In their fields
enjoy, Is not, however, to concede that
any business integration should have
legislative sanction to exercise monop-
olistic power. The American people
are as firmly opposed to Industrial as
to political autocracy, whether at
tempted by rural or by urban industry
For lack of united effort the farmers
as whole are still marketing their
crops by antiquated methods, or by no
methods at ALL but they are surrounded
by a business world that has been
modernized to the last minute and Is
tirelessly striving for efficiency. This
efficiency is due in large measure to
big business, to united business, to in
tegrated business. The farmers now
seek the benefits Of such largeness, un-
ion and l. grafton.

Of the service charges that are uni

DEMOCRATS CHEERED BY STATE
TAX CUT

Nothing in the message which
Governor Ritchie delivered
to the Legislature has
created so much interest as the
forecast that the State tax rate
will be reduced by 5 cents, to 81
cents. This is what drew the
most applause from the legisla-
tors assembled in joint session.
This is what is still occasionlng
comment to-day.
Speaking as a party man and
primarily to the members of his
party in the Legislature, the
Governor dwelt with satisfaction
on the fact that a reduction OF
5 cents in the tax rate would
mean a decrease of $3.50, OOO a
year in the financial burden OF
the taxpayers. The party, said
the Governor, pointed with pride
to this apparent excess of per-
Performance over pledge, prom
ised the people "a reduction OF
$500, 900 in expenses; here it Is,
on the first day of the Legisla-
tive session, with a saving OF
$3.50, 900 arranged for.
No wonder the legislators ap-
plauded; and the Governor took
occasion to point the contrast
between the Democratic achieve
ment in lowering taxes, when
the reverse process is in order in
the municipal administration in
Baltimore and the national ad-
ministration, both Of which hap
pen to be Republican.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser., 1922-01-13
WHAT CAN BE DONE?

The automobile is one of the
most precious and useful devices
of modern man. But 1873 lives
in eleven months is too great a
toll to be exacted from one State
like Maryland for its use.
1873 lives-or an average OF
about four a week, have been lost
in Maryland due to the reckless
ness and carelessness of auto
mobilists and pedestrians. Many
of these fatal accidents may have
been almost ,.unpreventable un-
der existing conditions. But
there can be no possible doubt
that a very great proportion of
them could have been and should
have been prevented:
Anyone who has motored on
Maryland roads for even one
day---and certainly for one even
ing---will be surprised to learn
that there are not forty rather
than four deaths per week. For
an incomprehensible disregard
for the most elementary caution
is continually displayed by mot
orists who---however small a per-
centage of the owners of cars,
constitute a sufficient proportion
of the motoring fraternity to
have some of their quota on
pretty nearly every road and
street.
Four chief causes of accident
must be obvious to any driver
who has eyes. They are
'road-hogging," or the running
too far to the middle of the
road; reckless passing of cars at
high speed and with quick turns;
passing cars at any speed on the
tops of hills, and last-but by
no means least-the use of blind
ing headlights, which has been
decreased but certainly not done
away with by the anti-glare re-
Quirements.
1t is obviously impossible for
the police to catch all the endless
offenders in these and other
dangerous phases of motoring.
And it is to be doubted whether
sufficiently severe punishment
is often enough given even to
the most fragrant offenders.
Yet something must obviously
be done. Four deaths a week is
an average which should
make any motorist appreciate
the need for some sort of
action. The only practi-
cable action appears to depend
upon a greater willingness of the
average man to report reckless
drivers and upon such severe
punishment as will give pause to
even the most foolhardy.
Americans have a very proper
and admirable distaste for re
porting" telling tales" and
for playing the part of Citizen
Fixit. In a matter of such i'm
portance, however, it is doubtful
whether this distaste should not
be overcome. A determined at
tempt on the part of sane driv-
ers to see recklessness reported
and published might accomplish
much. Baltimore Sun.

FARM. EXPLOSIVES
. DISTRIBUTED FREE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-By hte
Associated Press.)-The attentions
of farmer in all sections of the
country to the free distribution
of excess war explosives for farm
work, is called by the United States
department of agriculture. Since
last fall the department, in coop
Grafton with. the various state agri
cultural colleges, has distributed g.
100000 pounds of picric acid, sur
plus explosive which is very eff
Gent, easy and safe to handle.
In Minnesota the state agriculture
al college reports:
eve feel that picric acid has been
great benefit to the state and has
done a great deal to simulate land
clearing. All reports are to the eff
feet that its use has been highly
satisfactory. The 774,000 pounds al
lotted to Minnesota were distributed
to 3,511 farmers, averaging 222
pounds per farmer. We estimate
that this will clear $4,000 acres of
land, and has made a saving of over
$4,000 for the farmers of the state. :"
The economy of this explosive is
emphasized by the department in a
recent circular showing that last
falls distribution saved the farm
ers about 100000 over the cost OF
other explosives. There are now
available some 100000 pounds of
picric acid, and OF this amount
about 100000 are available to each
of the lake states, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota.
Picric acid is a high explosive
which was used in large quantities
during the war and is now beng
distributed to farmers for agricul-
tural purposes, says the department.
No charge is made by the govern
ment for thes explosive itself, but
as it has to be driedt out and cart
ridged before it can be used for
peaceful use the cost of this work
must be paid by the FARMERS.
Picric acid is a comparatively safe
explosive and is used in the same
way that other agricultural explo-
sives are used. 1t has several adj
Vantages over commercial explosives
in that it keeps indefinitely without
deteriorating, it is not affected Ey
heat or cold, and it does not cause
headaches or other i'll effects wher.
used in the open air. Because Of
its greater cost of manufacture, it
will never be a competitor of COM
mercial dynamites. 1t is being dis
tributed for the purpose Of increas,
ing interest and activity in lard
clearing. The details Of the method
