preparation Bill.

point director of traffic for Wash

fashion and not be artificially stimu-
lated or hindered by Federal legisla-
ton, Mark w. Potter, who resigned
last week from the Interstate Com
m"rce Commission, writes in the cur
rent issue of the Nations Business,
organ of the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
MIR. Potter directed his criticism
toward requirements in the trans
portation act, that the chief railroads
in the country be permitted to con-
solidate into l s or 30 systems of great
size, in accordance with such plan
as the commission may approve.
Instead of directing the creation of
plan which railroads must follow
in combining, he said, officers and
stockholders of the present companies
should be given freedom to make
their own arrangements for consoli
dation and to put them into effect,
provided the commission sanctioned
them as being in the public interest.

1.-The unfortunate tendencies of the
times in almost everything are to-
ward too much elaboration and too
much machinery" he declared. Rail
roads would have consolidated years
ago if they had not been prevented
by law. Now it is realized that re
straining laws were a mistake.
Sui, apparently, the Government is
not willing to give the desires of the
carriers much, weight. and, seeming
ly, what il wants is to get them into.

ming done by Government agency"

Mimi. Coop. Wool Growers
Are Arranging Meeting
Propaganda Loosed Against Pools and
Cooperative Selling Agencies,
Farm Bureau Is Told

The Minnesota Cooperative Wool
Growers Association has arranged for
series of county wool meetings at
which Alex Huddleston, president OF
the association, will discuss wool
marketing and sheep raising.
Definite dates have been set for
such meetings, as follows: Pipestone
county, Feb. 1924; Murray, Feb. 25;
Lyon, Feb. 26; Redwood, Feb. 27;
Waseca, March 1919; Blue Earth,
March 20; Brown, March, 81; Mobiles,
March %; Rock, March "a; Martin,
March 25; Faribault, March 20;
Freedom, March 27 and Mower,
March, %. Mr.. Huddleston attended
the Crookston Show last week where
he met with county agents and wool
leaders of the Red River valley to ar
range county meetings in that section
for early in April.
R. E. Jones, manager Of the asso-
citation, calls attention Of the Farm
Bureau to certain propaganda against
wool pools and cooperative selling
agencies and cities the following para
graph appearing in the Minneapolis
Morning Tribune of Feb. 2, taken
from Public Ledger Company: "Bos-
ton houses have done considerable
business already with the growers in
the west, covering the 1925 clip, and
expect to have very little to do this
year with pools and cooperative SELL
ing agencies, whose chief function in
the past has been the holding Of wool
in anticipation Of higher prices.
"This paragraph" says Mr..
Jones, "has evidently been inspired
by small wool dealers who buy direct
from growers or who buy the small
accumulations by country dealers. A
review Of the average prices obtained
by the various State Cooperative Or
CARNATIONS discloses the fact that
their wool this past season has been
sold at the equivalent of a fiat price
of around 40 to 43 c f. o. b., which is
evidence that the woods have not been
held speculatively lin anticipation of
higher prices as stated in the above
mentioned paragraph. 1t is the pol
icy of the Cooperative Wool Organi-
cations to market their woods in an
orderly manner. 1t can be further
stated with every assurance that this
paragraph does not emanate from any
reputable wool house in Boston. The
service of the State Cooperative Or
CARNATIONS aims to obtain for the
grower full market values for his
wool, whereas the class of wool buy
ers which criticise the service of the
cooperatives are the itinerants roam
ing the country picking up snaps
where true market values are diff
cult to obtain. This class of buyers
are now travelling the country max
ing contracts in good medium wool
districts at 45c on the sleeps back
and paying $1.00 down per sheep on
the contracts. They are the wolves
picking up the lambs
