WASHINGTON, I C. Feb. 28. In miHUi-ring questions of newspaper men regarding means for reducing the high coHt of living, IMwln T. Meredith, the newly Installed secre tary of agriculture, mild that useless employes, no mutter In what lino they may bo engaged, must bo re leased from non-productive work and glvon an opportunity to become pro ducers upon tho farm or In tho fac tory If this Is done, and if Jobbers mid retailers recognize tho barm that must ultimately come from profiteering on tho farmer and con tent themselves with a reasonable profit, lie said, tho question ot tho high cost of living will largely solve Itself to the permanent good of all. Hut unless the whole country all business and all labor does recog nize this as n common problem and do tho things necessary to solve It, ho continued, "less und less will there be of farm produce to divldo among tho wholo peoplo and higher and higher will go tho price of that which Is produced." "I nm surprised," said Mr. Mere dith, "that I should havo received the number of messages I have, par ticularly from dally papers, asking what plans I, ns secretary of agri culture, havo to reduce tho high cost of liing. Indicating that tho general feeling Is that this Is essentially nn agricultural pioblom. It Is, ot .course, related to agriculture, but no nn re than to many other lines of arthlty, and I nm tempted to believe thut tho solution of tho problem lies mine in tho hands ot thoso interested In distribution and non-productive enterprises than in tho hands of tho farmers of tho country. Che Farmer KatMiutory Condition "Tlio farmers must certainly pro duce. Thoy havo produced and will produce that Is their business. Thoy aro on a piece measure basis, so glvon satisfactory conditions thoy will do their part, as tho farmers of America havo In ovory situation or crisis that has faced tho country. Hut this question of 'satisfactory conditions' is a big one. It Is not n 'tntlsfnctory condition for tho farmer o receive reduced prices for lils poik. whe:t, hides, while the prirc3 if his ma h'w?ry, lumber and shoes uro raised. It does not conduce to a pleasant framo of mind on the part of the farmer or spur him to greater production to bo obliged to sell his products for halt or less than ho lator sees them sold for nt retail. Tho dairy farmers of tho country wonder If they aro treated fairly when they receive 35c to 40c for butter mid seo It retail nt SGc. Tho poultry men wondor why, when they receive from 40c to GOc (or eggs thoy retail as high as a dollar per dozen. Tho hog growers wonder If they nro not in u 'hazardous' business when thoy liny fencing and all other sup plies ot greatly Increased prices, and then soo tholr produco fnll fifty per cent, and sold by them at an actual lobs, In nnswor to a demand on tho part of tho rest of tho population for a reduced cost of living. "Tho farmers of America," the now secretary wont on, "aro willing to nssumo tholr part of tho responsi bilities ns American citizens In meet ing any problom threatening tho wolfnro and stability of our country, but this high cost of living problom is a mutual ono, and thoy nsk that It bo approached by all tho pooplo as a common problem. Thoy ask that thoso engaged In distribution oliin iunto tho lost motion and not put so groat a burden upon production a3 thoro Is upon It today. In other words, thoy nsk that thoro be an nde quato number of producers ot wealth, and this Includes property and food of all kinds, and only such number of distributors as Is necessary to perform tho services required. Thoy ask that t!lio bauks, railroads, wholo snlb houses, rotoll establishments, factorlos, nil of which aro vitally no-J cossary to tho farmer and recognized by him as such, bo speeded up along with htm, thnt tho work now dono by threo men may bo dono, if pos slblo, by two, and tho burden ot transportation and distribution bo thoroby lightened. If tho factory oxocutlvo will spoed up his plant that thoro may bo two days' labor In tho supplies, ninclilnory, or what not, that tho farmor buys, rather than threo days' labor, tho artlclo will cost tho farmor much loss, his profits bo Increased, and his production stimulated, more men stay on tho farm, moro men go to the farm. I'ut Useless Kinploycs at Productive Work Duslnoss men must look to the operation of their establishments, no. mutter In what lino they may bo en-' gaged, anil bpo that no useless em-J ploye is retained to add to tho cost of distributing what tho farmer now, produces I'seless employes must Iji released f r in non-productive work1 thnt they may go Into productive work and add to the sum total that may bo distributed among all "Let us enjoy In America as high ly developed a system of distribu tion and In this I Include nil tho professions, doctors, lawyers, teach-. iers, as well us retailors, transporta tion; etc. us wo now have, but lot' us ut out tho useless member, tho surplus cno hero and there, and give lil tn nn opportunity to become a pro-' duccr upon the farm, or In the fac-J tory. Let us havo six-tenths of our! people In production and four-tenths J In distribution, that there may lioi six-tenths of what a man can pro-i filiico each day for euch of us. rnther than havo four-tenths In production! and six-tenths in distribution, which; gives us only four-tenths of what a man can produce each day for each of us. To do this conditions in pro ductlon must be attractive, farming must bo remunerative nnd offer to a young man who engages In ft an op portunity equal to that offered him should ho go Into a bank, railroad, wholesale or retail establishment. Inhor Muit Meet Fnrnior Half Wny "The farmer asks that tho labor ers In tho mines, tho factory, and tho mills, who nre also real producers along with the farmers, make an effort comparable to his to see there Is Just ns little labor expense as pos sible In each article turned out by thelr bunds, thereby helping the farmers of America, who In turn will help the laborer. This is not Incon sistent with tho views nnd desires of tho loyal. Intelligent laboring men, who recognize the mutual advantage to n! In an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Given this and the manufacturers. Jobbers and retailers taking a reasonable profit and recog nizing the harm that must ultimately come frcm profiteering upon the farmer, tho question of the high cost of living will largely solve Itself, to tho permanent good of all concerned. "On the other hand, If the whole country,, all business and all labor, does not recognize this as a common problem," the secretary continued, "and do thoso things which give tho farmer n fair compensation for his efforts, do those things which make farming remunerative, pleasant and as nttractlvo ns other lines of en deavor, t'" '"ondtt'" 'v"l " t Im prove. On tho contrary, moro more will the young men leave t farms, more and more will the older men become dfsiouraged, and less and less will there bo of farm pro duce to divldo among the whole peoplo for their sustenance, and higher and higher will go tho prico of that which Is produced. AH Must Strive for Cheaper His tilbiillon "Attention must bo given by public-spirited citizens to the methods which tend to quicken and cheapen distribution of farm products, such as bettor terminal facilities, easier transfors, Inland water transporta tion, back hauling nnd round-about routes eliminated. Wo must all Inf torest ourselves In helping solve tho problems of tho farmor and furnish him facilities that will help him In his business. While such facilities must bo furnished, wo find on tho contrary there Is now being ninde an assault on tho Farm Loan Hank, which gives tho farmor money on favorable terms w.lthout commis sions, without ronewal charges, fin nncos him to carry on the fundamen tal activity ot our country, gives him long time that ho may plan abend where necessary. Tho nfisa.'ult Is mndo by selfish Interests, nnd their success would, In my Judgment, bo n blow to ngrlculturo In America nnd result in ultimate harm to all inter ests. Hut how ninny business men in Amorica havo recognized this ns their problem, or Interested thom selvcs In tho farmer's bohalf? Vory fow, and yet thoy could woll afford, In fact must, Intorest thomsolves In this nnd othor probloms nffoctlng tho farmor, or thoy will feel tho ro-nctlon. "Tho farmers of Amorica aro will ing nnd anxious to moot the problem of roduclng tho cost of living ns a mutual ono. Thoy seok tho co-opora-tlon, support nnd sympathy ot tho business world, nnd recolving It thoy will do their part and more. All of us working to this ond nro strength ening and making pormanont agri culture, tho very foundation of our wholo structure, nnd thoroforo do ing woll for our country ns a wholo, Every person, no matter In what .walk of Ufa ho may bo ongaged, should havo a sympathetic, helpful Intorest In agriculture, bo helpful to tho farmor, and soo ho gets fair, square deal In all mattors. Surely, such an attltudo Is an expression ot tho highest typo of patriotism In peace." Thrift and Little Things Who are the men anr women that become masters over great things? They are those who first of all become masters over little things.
