The World and All
10 THE POOR CORPORATIONS,
By Charles r. Driscon

Ny heart goes out to the great public service cor
porations every time I have a row with one of their
far-tlung departments. It il SO m~anifestly difficult
for them to get intelligent men and women for the po-
sitions involving direct contact with the public.
Railway conductors generally are exceptions to this
sad rule. They are nearly always men of judgment and
discretion.
But the public contact people with whom ! have the
least patience are railway ticket sellers in big cities.
I commute daily between Yonkers and New York on
the New York Central. and every once in a while | run
w against the most monumental stupidity on the par.
Of that great railways ticket sellers in Grand Central
Terminal. / sec and hear other passengers having SIM
liar troubles, and I hear talk about it on the trains con-
stantly, and J marvel at the brains that can direct such
a sadly handicapped organization to success. For I
always appeal directly over the head of the ticket SELL
ers, and ] always find the high officials Of the roal
courteous and efficient. Surely. they never rose from
the ticket cages, Or. If they did, who will rise to take
their places when they grow old?
The top men in the great corporations are anxious,
above all else, for public approval, and for goodwill.
They know their ship will surely sink without these
desidersts. They are constantly devising schemes 20
make II impossible for ticket sellers and other public
contact folk to insult and drive away their customers.
Thus, the New York Central men have devised a dumb
proof communication ticket, for use next year. 1t looks
so simple that anyone would swear the ticket sellers
couldn't start a fight about it. But I'll wager they'll
find a way!
Because Of the general inetficiency prevailing in
ticket cages, ! have a pet theory that IL would be easy
for a bright and courteous young man to make a nam.
for himself in one Of them. and attract so much publ.
attention. merely by doing his work properly, tina.
the road would be forced to make him president.

Northwestern farmers are practically unanimous
that there be no consideration of farm relief by the
present session Of congress, demanding in no uncer-
tain tones that the proposed farm relief measure be
held up until the extra session after March 4, when
President Coolidge has retired and there will be no
danger of a third veto.
The farmers are looking 10 Hoover for the relief
promised BY the republican party eight years ago. The
campaign utterances Of the president-elect have ere
ated renewed confidence that the extra session will
deal with the problem along new lines, not in full ac-
cord with the theories OF the proponents OF thee Nc
Nsry-Haugen bill, but which, the farm leaders aver,
will at least grant some measure Of relief to the in.
dustry. They believe that Hoover will 60 much fur
Their in meeting the demands Of the farm organizations
IN regard to providing fupds for the purpose Of taking
care Of SURPRISES, than would President Coolidge, and
consequently they prefer not TO hazard a farm relief
measure while the latter retains the veto power.
The American Farm Bureau Federation. in annual
convention in Chicago last week. went on record as
opposig any effort Of the short session to deal with
the farm problem. Their vote was one of lack Of con-
fidence in the Coolidge administration. but they did
express confidence in the Hoover administration to
work out q farm relief measrree. Resolutions adopted
by the convention. entitled "A National Policy for As-
riculture," restated the federation's old position on the
equalization fee. but members admitted they believed
their position hopeless. AS an alternative they -roposed
that legislation be adopted to make the tariff c~r-ectivs
@NNN-s N@Nfo A1AAe y
ing associations as the instrument for marke, x not
only the surplus, but all portions Of our faT.I crops,
and containing definite checks and penalties upon over
production. Leaders stated that the federation is ode
voted to getting legislation for surplus control. If we
can't get every detail we shall work to get the best
we can. We are not going to enter the farm relief sit
ustion as it stand with q dog in the manger' attitude.
1t IS not our ambition to put Mr. Hoover in the hole. .
This attitude Of the federation IL commendable.
The alternative proposed for the equalization fee-co-
operstion-will receive the unequiyocal endorsement OF
the business interests Of the country who vigorously op-
pose a subsidy to any industry. Il will place the farm
ers in a new position, a position in which they volun-
teer to help themselves II the government will assume
leadership and congress pass the necessary legislation.
Cooperation will accomplish more in the way Of
solving the problem of SURPRISES than all the equaliza-
ton fees or subsidies congress can vote. II would
place control Of marketing within the power Of the
farmers themselves, and would assure that the success
Of the industry would depend upon their own efforts
and management.
