SALEM. OREGON. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 23, 1M.S. RATE INCREASE NECESSARY FARMERS' UNION OFFICIALS THINK RAILROADS ARE EN TITLED TO MORE REVENUE. Product! of Plow and Farmer Who Livea at Home Should Be 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 rales. It Is the policy of the Farmers' L'nioti to meet the Issues affecting the welf.i.-e of the farmers squarely and we will do so In this Instance. ' The transportation facilities of the United Slates are Inadequate to ef fectively meet the demands of com merce and particularly In the South and West additional railway mileage Is needed to accommodate the move ment of farm products. If In the wis dom of our Railroad Commissions an Increase In freight rates la 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 In crease shall be levied. Ratei Follow Lines of Least Resist ance. The freight rates of the nation hove been built up along lines ot 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 llfo out of the rateB 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 tliolr business Is Involved. The farmer Is seldom represented at rate bearings, as bis organizations have never had the finances to em ploy counsel to develop his sldo of tho case and, as a result, the products of the plow bear an unequal burden of tho freight expense. A glance at the freight tariffs abundantly 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 ot the products ot the factory and the mine. We offer no schedule of rates, hut hope the commission will be able to give the rallroud such an Increase In rates as Is necessary without levying a further toll upon the products, of the plow. The Instance seems 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 It the pros perity ot the farm Is a factor to be considered aud 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 fuelory to the farm. We would, tor example, prefer that the rate on nogs reinuln 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 penalised. We think (he rate on coal and brick can much better bear an Increase than the rate on cotton and dour. We would prefer that the rate on plow) remain the same, and machinery, pianos and BUch articles as the poop er farmer cannot hope to possess bear the burden of Increase. The Increase in rules should be so arranged that the farmer who lives at home will bear no part of the bur den, but lot the farmer who boards In other states and countries and v. ho feeds his stock In foreign lands, pay the price of bis folly. Pruning Demonstration at Gilbert-Patterson Place A pruning demonstration will be held at the tlilbeit Patterson place near L'oln, Thursday, February the 25th.

The atlas contains splendid colored maps of all the warring countries, with routes of travel and railroad lines; many tables of army and navy and general statis tics in fact, the work is a complete ready-reference li brary for students of the great war. It is a book which would ordinarily sell for $1.00 or $1.50, but we are having them made up in large lots and buy them at a price which allows us to give them away to subscribers on very easy conditions. All who pay three Months subscription, old or new, back subscription or in advance, in case their paper is delivered by carrier, will receive one of these atlases free. All mail subscribers, old or new, who pay a year's subscription ($3.00), either back subscription or in advance, will also be entitled to receive an atlas without extra charge. This is the most liberal offer the Capital Journal has ever made. - of the Independent in regard to the benefit of 10-acre tracts to any com munity.
