POLITICAL RETIcENcE

The accession Of man like Calvin
Coolidge to the presidency is special
ly interesting from the fact that his
temperament is so unlike that of the
ordinary politician. The usual type
of politician expects to be a good
mixer, a fluent talker in both private
and public, and an indefatigable hand
shaker and pollier. He depends on a
habit of extreme affability to win his
way and make enthusiastic friends
who will boost his fortunes.
The new president has not won his
way by these means. A quiet re-
tfcent man, many stories are told of
his silent ways. The success of such
man is reminder to all politicians
that they have depended too much
on social arts and personal graces
to advance their fortunes. The good
mixer and back slapper may win in
some OF the minor successes. But
for the big jobs the people are look.
ing for solid results and achieve
ment.

with Wan Street to boost the price
of their products, and to cut the
throats of the wheat farmers?
How else do you explain the strange
but significant fact that the corn
farmer is seeing the value of his pro-
duct increase, while his wheat-grow-
ing nedghbor is IN despair as his
prices sink lower and lower?
Surely wheat and corn farmers OPP
crate under the same governmental
statutes. We have heard Of no dis
elimination in these laws for or
against either II mantn1ade laws con-
troll the situation, wheat and corn
should go up or down together. In
stead of that we have the spectacle of
one becoming worthless and the other
priceless.
We do not pretend to know much
about the equity of freight rates.
Whenever we pay for freight rates we
are sure we are paying too much. But
we also think the same about coal and
labor in the back room, and ham and
eggs, and caddie fees. and golf balls,
and gasoline. 1t may be that freight
rates on grain are unnecessarily
high, and that in fairness they should
be reduced. We argue neither for nor
against this superstition.
Our contention is that freight rates
are not the controlling element in the
prosperity or the poverty of the farm
er. Market Quotations are ten times
as effective for good or evil as freight
rates.
II the Champaign county farmer a
to Chicago for nothing, the price he
would have obtained for it would have
have been at least 10 cents a bushel
less than he can get for his corn at
his elevator today. II he had free
transportation for his wheat to Chic
ago today he could not get any more
for it than he could have received a
year ago in Chicago after paying the
freight
Yet the LaFollettes, the Brookharts
and the Magnus Johnsons are riding
into office on whoop and hurrah
campaign in which the farmer is to
get relief from the oppression Of the
railroads. Boys, the railroads may be
guilty of all the mean things said
about them, but the real niger in the
woadpile Is something entirely differ
ent. Crucifying the railroads or shoot
ing them at sunrise or turning them
over to government operation will not
alter the fact that wheat went down
10 to Is cents bushel in a year and
corn went up approximately 20 to 25
cents in the same time, and under pre-
cisely the same transportation condi-
tons.
To explain this circumstance you
will have to drag in some element
other than transportation rates and
malevolent Wall Street conspiracies.
Tor neither Wall Street nor the rail-
roads loves the corn farmer better
than the wheat farmer. and either
would get as much JOY out of plucking
the one as the other.
There Us villain at large oppres.
sing the farmer, but at present Wall
Street and the railroads have au un-
impeachable alfbi.--Editorial, Urbana

FREIGHT RATES ON GRAIN

If you were to believe the LaF'ollet.
tes, the Smith Brookharts, and the
Magnus Johnsons, the farmers troub-
he's would be forever solved il his
freight rates were reduced. None Of
these ''Voice OF the People" ever
voices his voice without aaluding to
this Stumbling block in the road to
prosperity Of the farmer, and the i'm
preston gained from their chatter is
that with robber freight rates elimin-
ated the farmer would be leaving be-
hind Henry Ford or a common plast-
erer in the race for wealth.
Looking up the old files of the Cour-
Ter the market reports showed that on
June 30, 1922. cash wheat in Chicago
brought $1.15, and on the same date
this year it sold for s1.O5. The freight
rae has not been changed during that
period, and the fluctation during that
year was greater than even the wild
est eyed demagogue proposes to cut
freight rates. In other words. II
freight rates had been cut in two
this summer the farmer OF Illinois
having wheat to sell would still get
less for his product than he would
have a year ago.
But since June 30. freight rates re.
manning constant. wheat has contin.
ued to become more worthless" In.
stead Of being worth $1.05 in Chicago
yesterday 1t brought $101, and the
day before less than dollar. What
freight alteration can you suggest
that would have saved the farmer
this sharp loss within twenty days? II
1t Is excessive freight rates that are
principally to blame, what kind of ad
5ustment would you suggest in rates
that would permit the farmer even ia
hold his own as to wheat prices in
the light OF what has occurred during
this month?
Then there is corn. What would
you say the effect of freight rates
was on that product? On June 30
1927. cash corn sold in Chicago al
50 cents. year later the quotation
was 81 cents. During the year, with
freight charges remaining the same
wheat declined 10 cents a bushel in
price, and corn improved 10 cents. II
the decline in wheat prices is laid to
the freight rate, why not also grant
that the gain in corn price Is charge.
able to the same influence?
Yesterday corn sold for SO cents a
busha in Chicago. a gain Of cents
since June 30, while the freight rate
never budged. Would you consider
freight rates determining cause in
that increase in value? II your ans.
wer is no. why then, would you say
that 1t helps to shove down the price
of wheat? How can freight rate
work In opposite directions at the
same time?
Or would you say that the corn

America has no cause for concern
with Calvin Coolidge in the White
House. The man who enters the Of
death OF President Harding is not the
sort Of public servant whose future
course invites wonder or speculation.
II there were those who, unfamiliar
with the history Of Mr.. Coolidge, ex-
pected from him any startling depart
ure from the obvious program, they
have been quickly set right by the
nations new chief executive himself.
President Coolidge's first public an
nouncement after taking the oath Of
office was to affirm, as Theodore
Roosevelt affirmed upon succeeding
William Mckinley, the policies of his
predecessor.-New York Herald.
Calvin Coolidge's career empha-
sises once again the greatness of this
country as a land Of opportunity, and
the reality OF its democratic faith. In
Its devotion to ideals and its holiness
of purpose, that career has already
contained many useful lessons for
American youth. There is little doubt
that the contamination OF this simple,
silent mans ambition will find him
still growing with his opportunity.
His is the sort OF nature that always
keeps reservoir OF faith and strength
and couarge and wisdom to draw on
when needed.-New York Herald.
All that the Nation knows Of Presi-
dent Coolidge lends to its faith in his
ability and determination to make
his administration all that human
wisdom and endeavor can cause II
to become. Broad visioned, mental.
ly. well poised. a student Of American
life and for two years in as close
touch with national needs and the re-
sources for meeting them as Mr..
Harding himself-because OF the lat.
ter's fine generosity-the new execu.
tive will begin his work with warm
confidence Of his country.-St. Louis
