tern foe other swops, Is now beini
prepared by the gratn-raisera through
the establishment of sales media which
hall handle grain separately or col
lectlvely. as the Individual farmer may
elect. It Is this step the, plan of th?
Committee of Seventeenwhich has
created so much opposition and Is
thought by some to be In conflict -with
the anti-trust laws. Though there Is
now before congress measure de
signed to clear np doubt on this point, -the
grain-producers are notrelylng on
any immunity from anti-trust legisla
tion. They desire, and they are en
titled, to co-ordinate their efforts Just
as effectively as the large business in-
. terests of the country- have done. . In
connection with the selling organisa
tions the United States Grain Grower
Iftcornorated Is drafting a scheme ef
financing Instrumentalities and auxili
ary agencies which are Indispensable
to the successful utilization of modern
bnslnessvmethods.
- It Is essential t&at the farmers
should proceed graddhlly with , these
nlans. and aim to avoid the error of
crapping the existing marketing ma
chtnery, which has been so laborlouslj
built up by long experience, befort
they have a tried-and proved substi
tute or supplementary mechanism
They must be careful not to become
enmeshed In their own reforms and
lorn the perspective of their place In
the national system. Tbey must guard
against fanatical devotion to new doc
trines, and should seek articulation
with the general economic system
rather than Its reckless destruction as
tt relates to them.
VMWw
To take a tolerant and sympathetic
view of the farmers' strivings for bet
ter tilings Is not to give. a blankel
endorsement to any specific plan, ant
still less to applaud the vagaries of
some of their leaders and groups
Neither should we, on the other hnnd
allow the froth" of bitter agitation
false economics, and mistaken rndlca
m to conceal the facta of the farm
s' disadvantages, and the practlcabll
of eliminating them by well-cos
red measures. It may be that thf
era will not show the business
:tr and devetp the wise leader
o carry through sound plans; bat -
oteibliltr does not Justify tfer
obstruction of their upward efforts.
We, as city people, see In high and
speculatively manipulated prices,
spoilage, waste, scarcity, the result
of defective distribution of faro prod
ucts. Should It not occur to us that
we have a common Interest with the
farmer In his attempts to attain a de
gree or efficiency In distribution cor
responding to bis efficiency In produc
tion? Do not. the recent fluctuations
In the May wheat option, apparently
onretnted to normal Interaction of
supply and demand, offer a timely
proof of the need of some such stabil
ising agency as the grain growers bare
In contemplation? -
it la contended that. If their pre
posed organizations be perfected and
operated, the farmers . will have la
their hands an Instrument that will be
capable of dangerous abuse. We are
told that It will be possible to pervert
It to arbitrary and oppressive price-
flxlng from Its legitimate use fit order
Ing . and stabilizing the flow of farm
products to the market, to the mutual
benefit of producer and consumer. 1
have no apprehensions' on this point
In the first place, a loose organiza
tion, such as any union of farmers
must be at best, cannot be so a rot
trarlly and promptly controlled as a
great corporation.- The one Is a lum-
berlng democracy and the other an agile
autocracy. In the second place, with
all possible power ef.org -.nlzatlon, the
farmers cannot succeed to any great
extent,or for any considerable length
of time, In fixing prices. The great
law of supply and demand works la
various and surprising frays, to the
undoing of the best laid plans that
attempt to foil It. In tho third place,
their power will avail the farmers
nothing If It be abused. In our tlm
and country power Is of valuo to Its
possessor only so- long as it Is not
abused. It Is fair to say that I have
seen no signs In responsible quarters
of a disposition to dictate prices.
There seems, on the contrary, to be I
commonly . beneficial purpose to realize
a stability that will glvt aa orderly
and abundant flow of farm products
to the consumer and ensure reasonable
and dependable returns to .the pro
ducer, . ' - -...,,'.'.
In view of the supreme Importance
to the national well-being of a pros
perous and contented agricultural pop
ulation, we should be prepared to go
a long way In assisting the farmers to
get an equitable share of the wealth
they produce! through" the .Inaugura
tion of reforms that will procure -a
Continuous and Increasing stream of
farm products. They are far from get-
ling a fair share now. Considering
his capital and the long hours of labor
put In by the average farmer and his
family, he' Is remunerated less man
any other occupational class, with the
possible exception of teachers, reli
gious and lay. Though we know that
the nresent. general distress of . the
farmers Is exceptional and Is linked
with the Inevitable economic readjust
ment foHowlnz the war. It must bei
remembered that, although represent
Ing ose-thlrd of the Industrial product
and half the total population of the
nation, the rural communities ordi
narily enjoy hut a fifth to a quarter ol
the net annual national gam. Hotwun-
standln the taste of prosperity that
the farmers had during the war, there
Is today a lower-standard of living
among the cotton farmers of the South
than In any other pursuit In the country.
In conclusion, It seems to me that the
farmers are chiefly striving for a gen
erally beneficial Integration or tneit
business, of the same kind and cnarnc-
ter that other business enjoys, it ii
should be found on examination that
the attainment of this end requires
methods different from those which
other activities have followed "for the
same purpose should we not sympa
thetically consider the plea foe t
right to co-operate, If only from onr
own enlightened self interest, In ob
taining an abundant and steady flow of
farm products?
