The fabric is of the business of the
United States is built and sustained
by its railroad system. No factory or
enterprise or undertaking of an i'm
portance is ever located without rail-
road facilities. The life and prosper
fly of the country is dependent upon
keeping the railroads going, as much
so as the life of the body is depend
ent upon the circulation of blood
through It's arteriaI system. Long
ago the legislative bodies took out
of the hands of private capital
the control OF traffic rates and has
followed this up with control of de-

ment can not make train schedule
without sending it to Washington first
for approval.
The railroad business is different
from any other in its relation TO the
people. The next step that comes must
be The prevention of interference with
full train service. The public is en-
titled to this protection. Some other

TREASURY RAID AIM
OF FARM RADICALS
To Demand Loans for Them
selves and Also for For
eign Peoples.
SpecioI Dispatch TO THE NEw YosK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,l
Washington, ID. c.. Jan. ~.


The radical element attending the
agricultural conference, becoming bolder
be cause OF the recent successes OF the
agricultural bloc in Congress, set out
to-day TO obtain a sweeping program OF
Government financial aid, which virtu-
ally would open the Treasury DOORS for
the farmer, the stock raiser, the cotton
grower, the dairyman and similar allied
special interests.
Through their leaders, the chiefs OF
various agricultural organizations, they
made open demands for relief of every
kind. including not only lerge loans for
themselves but also the European ma
tions which might be markets for Amer
lean farm products.
Their demands became more insstent
when they met their first defeat in the
open conference in a fight to obtain the
creation OF committee on resolutions,
which would bring out the kind of a
program that meets with their desires.
Instead OF yielding TO the radicals the
conference went abou. its work in COM
group OF twelve committees was namad
with large memberships to study the
problems outlined by President Harding
and Secretary Wallace, and to make
reports OF, Thursday and Friday. The
committees tonight had finished their
preliminary work OF organization.

effort TO force their will on the dele

Placing BIam con Congress.

In this respect criticisms of confer
ence origin are in complete concur
renee with the views of the leaders of
the agricultural blocs In Congress.
The dominant sentiment among dele
gates to the conference. however. does
not reflect radical ambitions. The fact
is that the most influential men among
the delegates place the blame for the
distressing agricultural situation on
Congress and not on President Har-
ding.
Those men argue that the lack of
outstanding leadership and cohesion
is chiefly responsible for the failure
of Congress to provide vitally needed
remedies 20 meet the agricultural stu
alton. They specify particularly the
emergency tariff bill, which was rushed
through Congress for the sole purpose
OF improving agricultural conditions.
The law has been in operation since
last summer, and farm conditions
have steadily grown worse. Tho law
was framed BY the Ways and Means
Committee of the House without dicta-
tion or suggestion from the Presidept.
Interrogation of conference dele
gates establishes the fact that there
exists among the farmers actually
more confidence in Mr.. Harding than
In Congress. This Is due to the con-
viction OF the spokesmen for the agri-
cultural interests that the stampede
of members of the two HOUSES toward
the agricultural band wagon has been
solely inspired by fear Of personal con-
sequences 70 individual ambitions OF
Senator's and Representatives to hold
their seats.
Driven by Fear Of ReprisnIs.
The panic of these Senators and
members is naturally attributed TO
fear of agricultural reprisals, and not
to any genuine sympathy for the de-
mands for immediate action TO relieve
the widespread agricultural depres-
sion. Some of the more reasonable
conference delegates boldly assert
that in their eagerness to. placato the
farmer the potential Congressional
candidates are "trving to pass the
buck to Harding"

two Houses with any such unselfish
motives.
There does not appear to be any
doubt in the minds Of the leaders of
the Republican and Democratic parties
that the agriculturists will exercise a
tremendous influence over the coming
Congressional elections.
Pending events are expected to re-
suit in the organization of the most
powerful agrarian movement ever
known il this country-unless there
is q drastic change in the policy OF the
majority party in dealing with the sit
uation. firmer leadership and more
complete cooperation between the Ad-
ministration and Congress.
Members OF Congress seeking re-
election appear to be more anxious to
obtain Endorsement Of the expanding
farm groups than of their own party
organizations. This is as true Of the
Democratic party as 1t is of the Re-
publican. With these conditions OF af-
fairs confronting them the national
leaders of both admit that they have
cause for alarm.
DeVeiOpment I'm Nebraska.
The only definite step connected
with the new movement which tends
to show which way the political winds
are blowing has occurred in Nebraska
A new party has been launched there
along broad agrarian lines. Into it
have been taken some Of the most ac-
tive leaders OF the standpat Republi-
cans, Progressive Republicans, Demo-
cratic and Non-Partisan League and
labor organizations. The head OF the
new party Is Arthur g. Wray, former
Progressive, who ran for Governor two
years ago. The new movement takes
III both men and women.
At a convention held at Grand ISL
and platform. made up Of planAs
from the Republican. Democratic, Nom
Partisan League and old Progressive
parties, was put through. The plat
form as whole was framed for the
sole purpose of appealing to farmers,
the agricultural and labor Aements.
It advocates State owned elevators and
flour mills, cooperative banks, and re-
wives some Of the Roosevelt Progress
sive doctrines.
The new party has announced its in
tention of putting up u complete State
ticket this fall and OF paying particu-
lar attention to Congressional candi-
dates. Most OF the Nebraska Congress
men have already indicated their pur-
pose to climb on the agricultural band
wagon. Members Of Congress from
other States are closely watching the
Nebraska experiment because they ap-
praise it as the probable nucleus for
the national movement which Is caus-
ing great concern among the leaders
OF the older parties.
