One Year ' THAT FREIGHT RATE exemplified taut Ttiwday night in the meeting held hero between fanners and the officers of the grain corporation who met to agree OU a rate Structure that WOUld be’acceptable to them for the Ship- merit of 1982 wheat For years it has been a common saying that fanners raised their crop and then paid whatever transportation charges they were asked and took whatever price they were offered. They met to decide what rate they would pay the railroader transpor- Hi 1 tationon their wheat. ' This ehanged condition can only be due te one thing—the fact that farmers are developing an organization. W hen one farmer cr one small group of farmers protest to a railroad about rates they get no results because they are too small; when the commit- tee representing practically all of the farners of the Columbia ba- sin wheat country calls upon the railroad executives and speaks its mind there is likely to be something done about it, especially when it is considered that these farmers have the means of trans- F t porting their wheat without the railroads if their demands are not met- . / • ■-Z A ' r - The sentiment of the meeting was somewhat opposed to the railroads because they are demanding wartime rates in times that are far from prosperous and have shown little desire to cooperate - with producers who are suffering from as bad or worse conditions than effect the roads themselves While this sentiment is most natural it is the belief of this paper that a reduction of rates, eith er enioroed by the farmers or given by the railroads, is the only action that will save the railroads from disaster. It is impossible to sell a bushel of wheat for two and a quarter. No one can afford to pay that much for it at the present time. If wheat was held for two and a quarter a bushel people wou d buy something else to eat, rice, barley, corn or some other substitute. Yet, railroads are demanding the same freight rates on wheat that they asked when wheat was selling for that price and the same rule applies. If the rate is not lowered shippers will find a sub- * stitdt means of transporting wheat. And when they are hauling their wheat they will bring back other products that will reduce railroad tonnage on the bac k haul . If we have a normal crop of wheat in Shermon county this year—and it looks a* though we would—we will pay the railroad company $200,000 for the transportation even if the rate is lowered. And this on wheat alone. At present prices of wheat even the low rate will take between 20 and 25 per cent of the total value of the crop and the present interstate rate will take over thirty per cent of the value of the entire wheat crop of the county. Does anyon- blame the farmer for to February is put Unless the rate in effect from . back into effect we feel that wheats will be trucked or shipped by boat and that the railroads will have lost a lucrativ^baatnMmdbaa --------- O--------- CONGRATULATIONS, MORO of Whether the birthday ’ Beginning Tuesday, May 24. and of its citisene is celebrated or continuing each Tuesday until Sep natal day of the United States tember, official American Legion Pro grams will go on the air over the May 20th Gold Network of NBC it was announ tow« ^aU game between Kent c'd today by - Theodore Johnston year in this county Grau Val ' commander of the American Legion ley b planning on holding a real old These program« will be heard over Feasth e< ‘July celebration.
