and take it out of the pockets of their
patrons. In the Cummins- Esch Act
under which we are now living the
tools of the railways went so far as
to guarantee a net earnings Of at
least six per cent. We have here in
|" Minnesota one railroad capitalized at
$4,000 per mile, another. at :-$51 900
and a third at 5$116,000. When the
! latter is making it's per cent what
are the other two getting? The
freight rates under the present law
are about one-third higher than when
the government operated the rail-
ways in war times, and practically
double the rates that prevailed in nor
NAL tines
The excuse the railway organs Of
fer for these high rates is the big
wages that railroad employees now de-
'mand. -. - ..t#
But fortunately Henry Ford is dem
onstrating in the management of his
own lines that this excuse has little
foundation in fact for he is paying as
high wages as any railroad and is
willing to reduce his freight rates so
per cent if the government would per-
NIT him to do so. ~ s--.
1t seems to me that the first step
would be to organize to defeat all of
the Minnesota congressman who sup
ported the Cummins- Esch Act Sur.
prising as it may seem, both of the
Senators, Nelson and Kellogg, and five
members of the House, Sidney Ander-
son, Newton, Larson Volstead and
Steenerson, supported this measure.
And experts figure that this law ad.
ded on the average $1:00 per day to
the cost of living of every family of
five If the West rises as one man
and defeats every Congressman who
voted for this bill freight rates would
speedily fall for the railway officials

OBSERVATIONS
(By the Cornfield PHILOSOPHER

(ByE the COrntleId PhllOSOpher)
We are standing today face to face
with one of the greatest issues that
the American people have ever been
called upon to meet. The question is
simply this: Shall it be railroad own
ership of the government, or govern
ment ownership and operation of the
railways. In the past the railroads
have practically owned the govern
ment and it is largely owing to this
fact that this nation finds itself in the
dep!orable condition we confessedly
occupy today L. 49, -.
One of. the greatest errors our fore
fathers made was when they recog-
nized human slavery. That great
mistake has been wiped out in blood.
The next great error was the policy
OF permitting and encouraging private
individuals and corporations to build
and operate railroads for private gain
or profit. To lay tribute as it were
ON all the business of this great coun-
try for. the benefit of the few. And
this in a Republic where all citizens
theoretically stand on equal footing!
Not only did the government charter
railroad companies and invest them
with the power of eminent domain
but it aided them by outright dona-
lions and loans, many of which. were
never repaid and by special taxes.
Great land grants of more than $50
millions of acres. enough to make
more than five states as large as Min.
nesota, were voted to the railroads
4 with a prodigality that almost sur.
passes belief ~.
Here in our own state and by our
) own : congress 600 acres of as
choice land as ever laid out of doors,
were granted for. every mile of some
Of our main lines that cost only about
$4,000 per mile to build. Today not
only have all Of these gifts and dona:
tiOns been capitalized but billions OF
watered stock representing no value
has been issued, and an aggregate OF
nearly 20 billions of railway stocks
and bonds now exist. Upon both Con
gress and the courts declare the peo
pie must pay interest forever. In adj
d:tion to this the big railway officials
fix. their own salaries, operate their
own lines just as extravagantly and
ineftfciently as they please, employ
hundreds of lawyers at princely sal
aries, substitute all the newspapers
they may wish and take it all out OF
the pockets a+of the people who by
Z necessity are compelled to patronize
the railroads. The farmer Is hit the
& hardest because he pays the freigh,
not only on what he sells but also or
d what he consumes that is not produc
h ed On the farm. ~
The railroads can even put vast
@ sums OF money into the campaign
funds to elect their friends to Office

 Stubby, Stubby, Stubby.'' called her brother, for the first voice had 5elonged to Captain Standish's little girl Florence, and the second to his youngest son, Gordon.
 Hurry and hide. or they will find us," said Button, as he ran up tree to hide himself in it's leaves, while Stubby ran through a hole in the fence and across lots until he came to where the airships were all within an enclosure that had been built especially for the airpIane meets.
 Billy stood his ground. for as long as he had not been called. there was no necessity for him running away, and he looked as indifferent as if he had not see Button and Stubby for hours. Presently the children, all out of breath, came in sight of him, and Gordon ec1aimed "Heigh- n ic-+ 111+ Fell Us where your chums are? We have company up at the barracks and we want to show them what cute tricks pets can do.''
 But Billy only stared at them and went on eating grass, though he bought to himself: e'My won't ftubby and Button be glad they were .ot found? For if there is anything they hate. it IS to be put through their tricks for company"
 As soon as the children were out of sight Billy trotted off to join Stub by and Button. He had nearly reach ed the enclosure, when he saw them both running toward him, and by their manner they seemed to be very excited so he hurried his pace to meet them.
 Billy, Billy, what do you think ?'' exclaimed Stubbby. "Dick Standish is going to enter the race and fly a biplane across the country to Cali fornia to compete for the fifty thou sand dollar prize, and his chum, Thomas Thompson (better known as just Tonn), is going to fly mono plane while Harry Harwood is go- ing to try and make it with his f1y- dropIane."
 But how do you know all this?" inquired Billy, a litle doubting1y.
 (You will have to wait until to- morrow to hear how Stubby knew about the boys pIans.)

i Harsh measures.
 Have been taken by Manager- Owner McGraw of the Giants to bring | Catcher Earl Smith to a realization l of the error of his ways.
 1 This kid catcher, who was the sen 1 sation of the year back in 1918, was suspended indefinitely recently by Me- Graw for failure to keep in condi- ton. This after lesser punishment and fatherly advice had failed to turn l the trick.
 It is unfortunate that Snith-tc whom fate has been kind-shou1d 1 choose to aibcuse the chance he has had to make 8 name for himself. In the spring of 1918 Smith was a free agent-out of a job. Nothing else to do, he asked permission of l Manager Robinson of the Dodgers to work out with the Brooklyn club, training at Hot Springs, Ark. Smiths home town, that spring. He made
 such @ hit with Uncle Bobby that the
 fat pilot urged Owner Ebbets to sign
 him. Ebbets couldn't hear.
 Along came Arthur Irwin. boss of
 the Rochester International League
 club. and to him Robbie epressed his views on Smith Irwin signed Smith.
 When fall rolled around Smith had done such phenomenal work behind
 the plate and at bat for Irwin that
 John McGraw asked Irwin to set a price on the youngster. Irwin didn't want to let the lad go so asked for seven good ball players and enough dough to sweete the Rochester clubs drawing account. McGraw sent the players and check before Arthur could change his mind.
 Under McGraw's tutelage Smith added big league ffnesse to his accom- pItsh ents and soon forced McGraw to consider him a. regular even with the veteran Snyder, Lew McCar- ty and Mike Gonzales on the team. In 1920 Smith played in 91 contests and last season into S9. But appar- ently success turned his head

each other, the member of the asso'
citation whose tobacco will be redried
processed, and held for the highest
bidder on the markets of the world
is fortunate indeed.
! While the recognized leaders of the
American Leaf Trade are employed
by the organized tobacco farmers in
the marketing of their ctap, the mi
nority of growers outside of the as
sociation will be obliged to dump
their tobacco on the remaining auc-
ton floors, pitting their judgment in
a losing struggle against the clev-
crest dealers whom the companies
can hire to buy tobacco for them at
the lowest dollar.
Behind cooperative growers is the
record of success by other farmers
who have organized to sell their
crops. In the sand hills Of North
Carolina, on the Eastern shore of
Virginia, in the blue grass country
of Kentucky, in California and in
Denmark cooperative marketing has
brought prosperity.
Behind the helpless individuals who
continue to offer their product on
the auction floors, there is a record
of failure, debt and poverty.
What is there that the inorganic
ed grower can do that the organized
grower cannot do, except to submit
to the outworn system of auction
sales which has been tried for thirty
years and found wanting?
