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.
