FARMERS AND FREIGHT RATES

The assertion of the agricultural
bloc in congress and others that the
financial troubles of the farmers are
due to the cost of moving their prod
ucts and that relief can be had only
by forcing the railroads to haul grain
at cost or-@at a loss. lends interest to
the testimony of the Interstate COM
merce commission on the subject of
existing freight rates ana their effect
upon the volume of traffic.
The commission never has been sus-
pected of a disposition to favor the
railroads unduly, and when 1t says in
its report on the general situation that
''manifestly the rates are no longer
interfering with the free flow of COM
merce as & whole the public is justi-
fled in concluding that the represen-
tatives of the farming states have been
mistaken in their explanation of the
inability of wheat and corn growers
to sell their surplus crops at high
prices.
As a matter of fact, says the Provi-
dence Journal, freight rates have very
little to do with market prices. When
there is a heavy demand for any COM
modify the price will be paid without
reference to transportation costs. The
farmers are not getting satisfactory
prices it holds for the reason that
Europe is not buying American grain
in large quantities. The west has been
hit by the drop in export trade, but
the railroads are not responsible for
the lack of ready money in the coun-
tries of Europe. Indeed. if grain
were carried free to the Atlantic coast.
it is not likely that the saving in
freight charges would make any ap-
preciabie difference in European buy
ing of American cereals. However,
this fact has not prevented the politi-
cal farmers from telling the dirt farm
ers that their salvation is in railroad
batting
But that the American farmer has
lost his European market appears to
be unwarranted by the facts. The rec
ord of the United States bureau Of
foreign commerce shows that instead
of the American farmer losing the
European markets in the klast two
years he has exported more products
during that time than IN any period
in American history. His trouble lies
in the fact that persons other than
himself have set the price.
All the various schemes for helping
the farmer can be no more than
palliative at the. best. The farmer
must help himself by fixing his own
price on his product and making the
public pay it. That is what men tin
every other line OF business do. They
do not sell below the cost Of produc-
tion plus a profit.

Senator Capper has announced that
the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals pro-
vides the only means whereby the
farmer may be assured the benefit
OF cheap fertilizer and that legisla-
1ion, accepting this offer, must be en-
acted during the present session of
congress. Senator Norris. on the
other hand. has announced with equal
emphasis that in his opinion it is not
necessary for the government TO sub
sidIze Henry Ford or any other in
dividuaI or private interest in order
TO assure the economical and perma-
nent operation OF the nitrate plants
at Muscle Shoals. Senator Norris con-
tends for government operation as
against the Ford offer which will, he
contends. if accepted not only pro-
vide a subsidy for the Ford concern,
but continue that subsidy for. over
one hundred years It must be con-
ceded that the subsidy alluded to diff
fers from subsidies in general. since
the government rids itself of a con-
tinuous expense and instead would
receive money from Mr.. Ford. If the
choice finally lies between govern
ment operation and turning the plant
over TO Ford. the public IS likely to
side with Senator Capper.

Protective tariff advocates say that
German manufacturers of potash haye
advanced the price nearly 5000 per
cent and attribute the increase to our
failure to impose a duty on potash.
If American producers can't compete
with a price like that how could they
compete if the German product paid a
duty? Levying duty on German
potash might reduce the foreigners
profit but it is difficult to see where
the American consumer would be

PESEK WINS FROM "BINCK"

John Pesek of Ravenna. Neb., is
being heralded in Topeka as the next

day evening. Pesek took the match
in straight falls, winning the first one

his new wrestling hold, the Alligator

minutes and IL seconds with a douple

Head,ocl1s and body scissors were
the main holds applied by the Oh oan
while Pesek used a variety of holds
mostly those of his own invention.
He tried repeatedly for his al gator
clutch. and il was after several at
tempts that he was able to apply II
for the first faT. The body scissors IS
the mos, effective hold Buckley uses,
but it was easy for the Nebraskan 70

and his turning out of 1t IS one OF the
most clever pieces of mat work ever
displayed in Topeka. He was almost
as c.ever in coming out of headlocks,
which the oh oan attempted to pin
him with.
1t was easy to see from the start
that PeSek was the favorite with the
crowd. He received rounds of cheers
as he came from his dressing room
and stepped into the ring.
While ar times the bout appeared
to be rough, il was a clean match. II
was not as rough as the Buckley so
