SQUEEZING OUT

PLAN Of SOL0NS
Measures to Relieve the FL
nanCiaI Plight of Farmers
Is Discussed With Hard
ina at White House

Washington Nov. 25.--Measure7
to relieve the financial plight Of
farmers and curb proflteering, par
ticularly in food and clothing, were
discussed with President Harding
by Senator watson republican, In
diana.
The visit Of the Indiana senator
to the White House followed a con-
ference in his office at which a
number of senators from western
states talked over a possible legis-
latiye program acceptable to the
west.
Picturing to the president how
the farmers are generally unable
TO get enough for their crops to,
pay for harvesting and shipping,
while consumers pay high prices,
Senator Watson urged the lmme-
diate necessity Of some forcctul
program to put agriculture on its
feet and squeeze out tile long line
of profit taking between producer
and consumer.
Senator Watson's view is that
ullA program VI ltllHL l'l NAN
farmer must go further than the
question of freight rates. interest
rates and tariff rates. While these
may have ~art in the farmers
dilemma, the senator declared that
the man who produces food and
clothing can get very little for IL,
while the man who needs to buy it
has to pay an uncomfortable high
price"
Mr.. Watson told the president
that he favored the program for
agricultural credits, but he feared
that it would not strike at the root
Of the question.
If producers were compelled to
accept ruinous prices when they
finally did come to sell cattle and
crops, he argued, loans would only
be palliative and he urged that
while the financial distress of the
farmers was being temporarily re-
lieyed by liberal credits, an eXhaus-
tive study be taken to find some
practicable means Of bringing pro-
dneers and consumers together and

Back the Application Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad
to Retain Control of the
Central Pacific

Washington. NOV. 25.-Citi2ens
Of Utah, California and Oregon
succeeded railroad officials today
on the stand before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, where the
Southern Pacific's ap' lieation to
retain control of the Central Pa
cific, even after q supreme court
decision had ordered separation, is
being heard.
All the public representatives
called today supported the appli-
cation and expressed the opinion
that local and general interest in
their territory would be benefited
if the commission used its power
of consolidating railroads TO pre-
vent the court decision from be-
coming effective.
Spokesman for the Utah state
government, IL. W. Prickett and
w. W. Armstrong, advanced the
theory that the Central Pacific. if
separated would become a part of
the Union Pacific system, and leave
the state, as Mr.. Armstrong
phrased it. faced with a substan-
tial monopoly in transportation"
H. A. Scaldrett, counsel for the
Union Pacific, suggested during
cross examination that in taking
this view the witnesses "were TAX
ing counsel of their fears"

California association Of grain
growers: G.. II. Keller. for the
Portland, Ore, Chamber of Com
merce, and w. w. Calkms e. A.
Welch and o. S. Blanchard. repre-
sentatives of other Oregon cities,
all attacked the separation deci-
sion ON the general ground that
the breakup of the existing South
ern Pacific system would harm in.
dustry and commerce. The tenor
of the testimony was that the con-
solidated railroads are rendering
fair service at reasonable rates now
and conditions might be affected
adversely by dismemberment. Com
missioner Potter intervened once
to ask Mr.. Welch II joint use Of
facilities by the two railroads after
separation ould not remove most
of the shippers objections. The
witness said he could not tell.
a number Of state railroad COM
missioners will be heard on the is
sue next week.
