PLANS To HELP FARMERS

The farmer cannot solve his mar
keting a panacea for all the farmers
economic difficulties. His taxation
cannot come down with enormous is
sues of tax-free securities by which
great wealth escapes taxation.
Some think that the whole eco
nomic difficulty of the American
farmer could be righted if coopera-
ton could be substituted for other
methods of selling. Because of this
these people feel that the Federal
Government should become the spon-
sor and promoter of individual asso-
Citations and practically all the costs
of operating them.
Mr.. Tenny of the Dept. of Agricul-
ture, shows that the essentials Of
successful cooperation include organi-
cation along commodity lines, e
obtaining of sufficient tonnage
definitely secured by legal contracts
the securing of able, honest bust
ness administrators, and complete
and satisfactory financing plan, and
the incorporation into the whole
scheme of few simple fundamental
cooperative ideas.

WESTERN WOMAN WINNING

The candidacy of MIS-. W. T. Per
ham of Glendive, Montana, for the
Presidency of the General FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs is gaining
ground.
Mrs. Perham is winning support
by the fact that she is thoroughly a
western woman, identified with the
the entire womans' movement in
the West, and has the experience, the
ability and the means to occupy the
position to which she aspires.
Mrs. Perham promises in the main
plank in her platform to give her
entire time and attention to the Pres
idency and this means great deal
to women who do not care to award
this great honor merely as personal
distinction to some one who would
not give it their undivided attention.
Mrs. Perham of Montana, has
personal friends in every western
state and Mr.. Perham, himself, is
not ouly a successful business man
but is highly connected and native
son of the Pacific coast.
Western women are pulling Oft
their coats and working with a unit
ed will to put a western woman at
the head of the National Federation
for the first time in the history OF
the woman's movement In Our
Country.

CHANGE PRACTICES
INSTEAD OF GRADES

It is easy for some people
to solve the problem of accident pre-
vention at grade crossings by simply
| saying Change the grade"
It is not so easy for them or any.
one else to say how it shall be done.
There are 256,000 grade crossings
and to change them would involve
an expenditure even greater than for
| the World War. II such amount
were added to railroad capital in
vestments in non-productive improve,
ments there would be no escape from
increased passenger and freight
rates.
The situation is further compli-
Gated by the fact that the great ma
jority ofautomobile casualties caused
by careless drivers occur, not al
grade crossings, but on the streets
and highways entirly away from
the railroad.
For example, in 1922, total au-
tomobile casualties in the United
States exceeded $4,000, of which
only 1859, or less than 10 per cent,
occurred at grade crossings, or one ia
tality for each 1877 grade crossings.
The question naturally arises,
which one or how many of the 1877
should be changed, with the fact in
mind that in practically all In
stances the cause of accident involves
not the kind of crossing but the
kind of driver?
Again, even if grade crossings
were changed, this would correct
less than 10 per cent of total acct
dent causation How about the
other 90 per cent involving accidents
on the streets and highways? How
shall this be corrected?
There is but one way to prevent
accidents on the streets and high
ways and at grade crossings and
that is to properly police the issu-
ance of licenses and the operation OF
automobiles. See to it that no one
shall be permitted to obtain a H.
cense unless physically and mentally
qualified, with the further require
ment that driving regulations shall
conform to safe practices and be
scruPulously observed whether in
crossing railroad tracks or driving
on the streets and highways Stop
careless driving and the accident
problem will solve itself.

with the increased demand for service

Miners made the following re-
marks at the 1928 convention OF
the A. F. of L.:
I'm England and in Europe gem
orally, because wages have fallen,
and we have permitted them to
fall, unemployment has increased,
industries have languished, busi-
ness has come to a standstill, and
the latter stage is infinitely worse
than the first.
You Have taught the world in
America how to maintain the pur-
chasing power of the workers, and
therefore you have maintained q
standard Of living in America for
the workers of America higher
than the standard OF living in any
civilized country.
Your standard Of living is high

DOLLARS MAY STRIKE
BUT NOT WORKERS
HIGH COURT DECREE
RULING MADE WITHOUT USUAL
TENDER REGARD FOR THE
PUBLIC INTEREST
Court Takes Contrary View When
Human Beings Are Involved

The United States supreme court
has ruled (Railroad commission of
Texas vs.. Eastern Texas railroad)
that the dollar may strike when 1t is
not receiving a sufficient wage (n-
terest). The rights of rhe public"
are not considered.

when human beings are involved In

as Wilson VS.. New-the supreme
court said;
THAT right Ito strike) is noces-
sarily surrendered when the men are
engaged in public service. They are
comparable to soldiers in the ranks
who, in the presence of the enemies
of their country, may not desert"
The Texas decision. just rendered,
involved the right of small railroad
to cease operations because 1t is los
ing money.
State officials insisted that this will
inconvenience the public and that the
road should operate until its charter
expires.
The supreme court upheld the rail-
roads perpetual strike. Said the
court:
THE usual permissive charter OF
railroad company does not give rise to
any obligation on the part of the COM
pany to operate the road at loss.
"The company, although deyotiTg
its property to the uses OF the public,
does not do SO irrevocably or abso-
lutely but on condition that the public
shall supply sufficient traffic on a
reasonable rate basis to yield a fair
return.
And IL at any time 1t develops with
reasonable certainty that future op-
erations must be at loss, the COM
pany may discontinue operation and
get what 1t can out Of the property
by dismantling the road"
In other cases the court has taken
the same position-that the dollar has
the right to strike, regardless of the

POSTOFFICE WORKERS

WASHINGTON, March 1S-The
administration Is against wage in
creases for postal employees. This
attitude is contrary to that party's
last national convention, which de-
clared in favor of this wage increase.
The administration views are ex-
pressed in an inspired newspaper
story from the White House and in
letter by Postmaster General New
which was read to the house commit
tee that is holding hearings on the
Edge-Kelley wage bill.
Mr.. New says he favors high wages
but not now. He wants the subject
investigated "by some general body.
such as a congressional commission"
He says 1t is necessary ito approach
the ubject with a thorough UNDER
standing and a consideration OF all
the facts involved"
The postmasters generals position
was demolished by Secretary Treas
urer Flaherty of the National Fedora
tion Of Post Office Clerks, who re
minded the house committee that Mr..
New can secure all the information he
desires by reading a report by con-
gressional committee that inquired
into post office affairs in 1920.
Mr.. Flahrety made it clear that the
postmaster generals position is one
of postponement Conditions have
not changed since this investigation"
said the trade unionist. "All data and
other information is a matter of rec
ord, and is accessible to Mr.. New"
The postal workers are desperately
in need OF higher wages and will con-
tinue their fight, despite their added
handicap. No wage movement has re-
ceived such universal sympathy.
The service no longer attracts
young men because Of it's low wages
and limitations for Advancement This
Is destroying the department morale

movement in supporting the postal
