Declaring for a general overhaul ing of all freight rates, ho proposed that revision should take into ac count tho market value of farm products as reflected over. .a. rea sonable period of years, and "like wise the Influence of freight rates on tlie economic development of I difforent regions and the country as a whole." i Prices Not "Yet at lar. "In relation to pre-war condi tions," said tho report. "Iho prices of farm products tiro not yet on u par with freight rules. The level or farm commodity prices In Sep tember was 144 per cent of tlie pre-war averago, whereas ireigni rutes on agricultural com modules were U8 per cent of tho pre-wur average. Moreover tlie prices of ug-, ricultural products fluctuate great-) ly. from year to year whereas freight rates are stnldc und ure not frequently ehunged." It was added that farm freight rates Hhuuld.be hased on a continu ing set of general conditions, not on those df any given year, "unless freight rates can be made more riexlble, being raised when prices arb high and lewered when they decline, within .reasonable limits." 1'ointing to the gieally Increased tax.es un acre the tanner Is required to pay now over the umount or sev- ral yeai-s ago. tho secretary Fills American Jails : ' J- A's I t f ' 1 f , ' M n' VMi Vi a . k Colonel Sniii Johnson -onco bo filktl Slborlaji gra vr yards, now lie rilfs America it jails, . t-ALL, UyHtWY XTRA n.inrnn iai mi SENATE IS READY FOR LGH6 GRIND come to- tlto .farm em (Continued on J'age K'vc) 10 1 IS GIVEN OFFICE . - v...-.
