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-

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-

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
