sociation OF Railway Executives, has
been asked to take cognizance OF the
situation. The Omaha committee ex
poets a meeting of railroad executives
will be called for Chicago this week
to consider the proposed reduced ex.
port rates. Statements have been
made before the committee, that re.
duced export rates would improve
the status OF wheat for export from
this country as against more favored
conditions now affecting wheat from
Canada and the Argentine.
A letter received yesterday by the
committee from J. A. Edison, presi-
dent OF the Kansas City Southern
railway. stated that this railroad will
give the reduced rate proposal seri-
Gus consideration. Letters from
other railroad executives indicate
that the export rate reduction idea
will be given quite an impetus.

Mrs. Hansen said she had come tc

HARDING BETTER: ABANDONS PARK TRIP
To the Railroad
Executives:
(EditOrial.)

You have before you a
chance to do a great public
service. Will you help the
farmers in their present emer-
gency?
A great crop of wheat is
ready for market, under dis
couraging conditions. Some Of
this wheat will, or should go
abroad. If it goes to other
countries, it must travel long
distances over the railroads.
A temporary reduction in
the freight rates on wheat ex-
ported is asked. An emergency
rate, to give American wheat
a chance to get to the seaboard
for shipment to foreign con-
sumers ahead of the flood that
soon will be poured out by
rival producers from other
countries.
All the grain growing region
of the middle west is concern
ed in this, and the concession
is asked by the people as
contribution from the rail
roads to the general pros
perity of the territory they
serve.
The people have it in their
power to ask for this rate
through the l. C. c., but that
will entail delay in the pro-
cess.
The railroad executives have
it in their power to make
the relief asked Immediately
effective, by authorizing a re-
duction of 25 per cent in the
all-rail rates to the seaboard
on wheat intended for ex-
port. Because the executives
can do this without the de-
lay that would follow if an
other course were taken, the
appeal is made to them di-
rect.
In other periods of stress
or calamity, the railroads
have done all they could to
aid in the general restoration
of good times. This is not a
national calamity, in the
usual acceptance of that
term, but it is a serious mat
ter to the wheat growers, who
constitute a large element of
the national industry. Will
the railroads remain deaf to
the farmers appeal?
We believe not, but in con-
fidence address you on behalf
of the general community, the
citizens represented by the
various organizations, cham
bers of commerce and the
like, united in the movement
to secure the aid of the great
railroad systems of the coun-
try at a time when a little
help counts double, because it
comes at a time when it is
needed.

not be interpreted as meaning that
the presidents condition was IN the
