CAPPF.Il TAKKS FIIXG AT KAII.IIOAD 1IOIJ)0 Arthur Capper, famous "Farmer Senator," ma do. (he following state ment recently for publication: "It was argued when prices were rising that rail rates might he based on 'all the traffic will bear.' If that was correct, why then are rail rates on farm products now based on 'more than the traffic will bear?' If 'all the traffic will bear' was just,' how can the railroads have the face to try to continue 'more than the traffic will bear?' For example, when vhei:t was at the $2.00 level a rati! of 20 f cents say, on a bushel of wheat we 8 ! only 10 per cent. But now with $1 j wheat that same rate absorbs 20 per cent of the sale price; excessive and far too much. Farmers cannot mar ket wheat on the margin existing freight rates require. The grower has no voice in the terminal market for wheat which is 50 per cent and more below the war level. Cost of produc ing wheat is not more than 15 per cent under the war figure. In 1912 and 1913, before the war, country elevators averaged 5 cents a bushe; margin. That was increased uniil in 1821 it reached 13 cents a bushel. Add to high railroad rates, high ele vator charges, uncertainly of the rai nier in obtaining cars and you pu, on the bread grower a handicap thai is fast becoming intolerable."

KR, JEWETT OUTLINES CROP LOU PUN continued From fuse One) more and more American farmers would be forced from their hinds, until by the lime the state credit or ganisations were ready to function there would be mighty few farmers for them to extend credit to." Partly as a result of Mr. Jewett's appearance before the senate bank ing committee, it appears likely that the national co-operative conference will broaden its rural credits recom mendations to include the establish ment of regional banks, and possibly credits on growing crops as well. JcwcU System Preferable The representatives of the wheat growers' associations have announced to tho conference that while they will not oppose the federal reserve board plan outlined by Mr. S.ipiio, if it be comes the conference choice, they will nevertheless continue to advocate; the broader system outlined by Mr. .lewett.
