Greatest Literary Man is the Writer
. of Ails That Sell M. A. Hee l.
"It takes a real writer to force peo
ple to read what they think they
don't want to read about; you will
notice that the writers of great liter
ature started by choosing something
that people wanted to read. It take?
real gray matter to construct an ad
vertisement with genuine selling
power."
In this epigrammatic way, Merrill
A. Reed, president of the Reed Ad
vertising company of Portland, told
120 State University students that
the man who puts an ad. into an Ore
gon newspaper ought to pay just as
much attention to his method of sell
ing the goods as he does to buying
them.
"An ad writer is like an architect
in one respect," he said: "the ar
chitect has to know all about the dif
ferent parts of the building as he
constructs it. So the writer of an
ad. should have full knowledge of
the business and the goods he writes
about."
Mr. Reed gave figures to show that
others besides himself believe in ad
vertising: "In American magazines
alone, $7,0(10,000 a year is spent on
ads," he said.
The original man with something
to sell knew he must advertise: he
carved on a rock a crude announce
ment, Mr. Reed said. Printing type,
fast presses, and development of
modern news services, gave adver
tising wonderful impetu... "but even
now advertising has not been reduced
to an exact science, although it is one
of the biggest factors In our dally
life."
More than 100 students, nearly all
men, have enrolled for this advertis
ing series. They include many of the
future consumers of advertising in
this state, who know that to be suc
cessful they will have to advertise,
and who desire to learn while in the
University how best to do it to
achieve results.

FARMERS' UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products of Plow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Bo
Exempt From Increase.
By Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers' Union.
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission In granting an
Increase in freight rates In the eastern
classification of territory; the applica
tion of the roads to Btate and inter
state commissions for an Increase In
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an Increase in freight
rates. It Is the policy of the Farmers'
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this Instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to ef
fectively meet the demands of com
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileag
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates Is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an exten
sion of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion of
the Increase as justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
, as to the manner In which this lu-
I crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist
ance.' The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re
sistance. The merchant, the manu
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
ized tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad com
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
Involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to em
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and, as a result, the products
of the plow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs ubtindantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate of
any necessary commodity in com
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able-to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products of
the plow. The instance seemB to pre
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
What Is a Fair Rate?
We do not know what constitutes a
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim to
know much about It, but if the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to be
considered and the railroad commis
sion concludes that an Increase in
rates Is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through articles of
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
nogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton and flour. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of Increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmor who lives
at home will bear no part of the bur
den, but let the farmer who boards
In other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price of his folly.
