democracy is unalterably opposed,
alike to enacted special privilege and

portunity that arises automatically

economic inequalities. | am opposed

far as it is within its power to do so,
whether by the repeal of archaic
statutes or the enactment Of modern
ones. II the antitrust laws keep the
farmers from endeavoring scientifically
to integrate their. industry while other
industries find way to meet modern

to find way for the farmers to meet
them under the same conditions. The

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. and 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
prlviege,-though think II was so In
appearance rather than In fact,-we
find that the courts have nullified II
by judicial Interpretation. Why should
not the farmers be permitted to ac-
complsh by cooperative methods what
other businesses are already doing by
cooperation In the form Of incorpora'
ton? II It 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 1t 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 a hundred thousand corporate
shareholders to direct 25 or 30 or 40
per cent of an industry, and wrong for
hundred thousand cooperative
Z farmers to control no larger proper
ton OF the wheat crop, or cotton, or
any other productf
The Department Of Agriculture Is
often spoken of as n special concession
10 the farmers, but In its commercial
results. 1t Is of as much benefit to the
buyers and consumers Of agricultural
products as to the producers, or even
more. do not suppose that anyone
opposes the benefits that the farmers
derive from the educational and re-
search work of the department, or the
help thnt II gives them In working out
improved cultural methods and prac-
tees, In developing better yielding va
rieties through breeding and selection,
in introducing new varieties from re-
mote parts of the world and adapting
them to our climate and economic con-
dition. and in devising practical meas
ures for the elimination or control OF
dangerous and destructive animal and
plant diseases, insect pests, and the
like. All these things manifestly tend
10 stimulate and enlarge production,
and their general beneficial effects are
obvious.
1t is complained that, whereas the
law restricts Federal Reserve banks
10 three months time for commercial
paper, the farmer Is allowed six
months on his notes. This is not a
special privilege, but merely such a
recognition of business conditions as
makes it possible for country banks
to do business with country people,

The Farm Loan banks are pointed

illustrative organization and lend a
little credit at the start. Eventually
the farmers will provide all the capt.
tai and carry all the liabilities them
selves. 1t Is true that Farm Loan
bonds are tax exempt; but so are
bonds of municipal light and traction
plants. and new housing Is to be ex-
empt from taxation, In New York, for
ten years.
On the other hand, the farmer reads
of plans for municipal housing prof.
ects that run into the billions, Of hun
dreds Of millions annually spent on
the merchant marine; he reads that
the railways are being favored with
increased rates and virtual guarantees
Of earnings by the government, with
the result to him of an increased toll

buys. He hears of many manifesto

satisfied consumersf
While It may be conceded that
special governmental aid may be nee

all agree that 1t Is difficult to see why

Did Social Climbers
 Take These Ladders?

There have been thefts of pos sibly every descriptions from money to tombstones but the latest one to come to the attention of the police was the theft of one four foot lad der, one five foot ladder. one toilet plunger, twelve safety pins, and one pair of opera glasses which were re- ported as taken from the home Will liam Percy at 1417 Fairfield avenue last night
 The matter was reported to the po- lice this morning by Percy who stated that he had a monster party at his home last night-in fact he said he thought there was over a hundred persons there The party lasted about four hours he stated and after the guests had departed he inlme ediately took inventory and discovered the above things missing.
 In reporting the matter to the po- lice he stated that he was William Percy, P. D. F.-what that means mo- body seems to know-and that he was a ladder king. He stated that every body had heard of him but the lieu tenant to. whom the matter was re- asked him his name. Percy further stated that anybody could tell his ladders as they were all painted red. After getting all this off his chest he finished his statement of the narrowing details by asking that the matter be given plenty of publicity.
 A report that some of the guests at the partys were considering going into the second story business could not be verified this morning thereby di- verting all suspicion that might be directed toward said guests There cial climbers may have taken the lad
