OPPRESSION TO CREDIT TRUST

centers. The outstanding evil Of the
time Is the mobilization Of the sur.
plus credit Of the country for specu.
latiye purposes.
Not only was the chain store per
haps the most startling development
of monopoly" he continued, but the
mail order business has carved of
another large slice from the local
merchant" and the automobile has
taken his customers to the chains in
the big cities"
Freight Rates Played
Discussing the farm problem,
Brookhart said the fact that farmers
are averaging 20 cents per bushel
less than the Canadian producers are
getting for the present wheat crop is
due to excessive freight rates in this
country together with failure Of the
farm board to function"
I'VE have better transportation
business than Canada" he asserted.
Under proper management freight
rates ought to be lower. They are
about so per cent higher on agricul-
tural products. You are told It Is
due to high cost Of labor, but Cana
dian labor is getting the same wage.
The real cause Is found in capital
monopoly that controls our railroads.
THE price the farmer receives is
reduced by the amount Of freight
toll required to reach his market, and
the price that labor pays is increased
