B. F. Yoaknui, chairman ot tbe executive committee of the . Rock Island-Frisco railroad system, recently delivered at Shawnee, Okla.j before the Farmers' union of Oklahoma a notable address on tbe partnership between tbe rail roads and tbe farmers.;. Be said In part: v, . ' . "Tbe farmers and, tbe railroads are natural partners. Tbe first thing in quired about by an investor in new railroad securities Is the character of the country which tbe road will serve. If it can be shown that tbe territory to be served by tbe new railroad is a good "farming country the greatest trouble- in finding tbe money to build bas been overebme. On the other band, tbe first question a farmer seeking a location in a new country asks is 'What are its railroad facilities? "Tbe things most needed by the farmer and tbe railroad, but which are neglected, to the detriment of both, are- a better acquaintance and closer work ing relations. These mutual benefits can be attained through the officers of the Farmers'-, union, representing the producers, .and the officers of the rail- roads, representing tbe carriers, deal ing directly with each other; "This Country now needs what our forefathers used in laying- its founda tiona lot of old fashioned common sense. ' Farmer Has Good Judgment.-; "Good judgment and fair dealing are found more generally among farmers than in persons in other occupations. and when tbey earnestly take bold Of nnhlic Questions tbey - will occupy a- place in our political structure that will make their good judgment and '-f air conclusions felt more and more. In solv.-. ihg the relations of the government and its institutions.. " "The United States government nine teen ypars ago commencied tbe -con struction of the Illinois and Mississippi canal. Its length is seventy-five miles, and it has cost to date, with interest at 3 per cent, over $9,000,000. or $120,- 000 per mile., To maintain this canals in its present useless condition costs the country's taxpayers $90,000 a year. exclusive of interest on the investment. A freight boat bas never--passed through it. . : "1 mention this to illustrate- one un dertaking of the many which, through the lack of system or intelligent plan ning In advance of the construction of our inland waterways, make up the $80,000,000 which is referred to by Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith as wasted. -. -'.,'. , "The government has expended ap proximately $225,000,000 on tbe im provement of tbe Mississippi river and its tributaries.: The tonnage bandied over the waters of The Mississippi last year was one-third less than It was twenty years ago. . Should Make More Farms.; "The. story of government extrava gance of this kind is being ' told so broadly through tbe newspapers that the masses are beginning to .' realize that something is wrong.

Benton County The same disregard of tbe value of money would send toe strongest pri vate business in this country into bank ruptcy. 4 . proper use of the pruning knife in a downward revision of ex penses would bring surprising results. It is not practicable to itemize where reductions should be made. . but they must come. ' The -deficit should be cared for by reducing expenditures and not by- raising taxes to increase rev enues."'. ' '" ' :' . ' 'The European nations are teaching us a lesson. Tbe controversies in Ens- land, the recent troubles in Spain, tbe unrest in Russia, the quarreling over military taxes . in Germany and the struggle against new taxes In France should strengthen our faith in the proposition that It is better to grow more farm products and make pros perous' the man who sows and har vests, than to build more battleshiDS and new guns.
