Such progress as .has been made by the business community toward normal condfilons results from a realization that artificial levels of activity will not again be reached in any period near enough to affect the prqb- * lems of today, and from a determination to practice economies of operation more rigid than heretofore thoughp p0§81ble. ) The need of personal effort and economy is also being mqreasmgly recognized in giving a day’s work for a day’s pay apd in care as to personal expenditure. Business men and executives now rec- ognize that henceforth they must give the most_,thorgugh per- " sonal attention and application to their enterprises. : Some part of the recent gain in business is unquestionably a result of seasonal demand. Permanent improvement depends lfted Presx iglentitlad to the use to it. o otherwise credited, and to a large extent on foreign buying power, and even more on the adjustment of conditions under which the farmer operates. The last three years have clearly shown that.the Europeanféyt- uation can be stabilized only by the political and econemic ef- forts of the countries concerned. Domestic conditions ean ibe bettered by steady determination on the part. of corporations and individuals to secure greater efficiency and to practice greater economy, This will result in gradual readjustment of the burden of price inequalities now resting on the farmer. y —_—0 FREIGHT REDUCTIONS ON HAY AND GRAIN The ruling of the Interstate Commerce commission yester- ‘day that freight rates on hay and grain must be reduced 16 per cent by December 27, will be welcome news to the farmer. This decrease, when put into effect, will mean a saving to the farm- ers of the northwest annually of at least $25,000,000. b On. October 20, the commission declared that the rates on hay and grain from the Misgsissippi Valley to the Pacific Coast were unreasonably high, but did not at that time order a reduc- tion. The reduction has been “ordered” now. -The roads were requested to make a reduction by November 20, but it was not’ made at that time because negotiations were opened by the ‘railroads with the commission suggesting a flat reduction of 10 per cent on freight rates on all agricultural products. As no definite action was taken by the roads setting a date on which a reduction would take effect, the commission took the matter| into their own hands and set Degember 27 as the dgte upon which the reduction shall be effective. feligiy While the commodities mentioned in the order are anly hay and grain, there is no doubt but that those will but be the forerunner of a number of other reductions which will be re- quired by the commiission to be'ade in-the very near future, A A P Pt N PP P PPN, WHAT OTHERS SAY Editor, Bemidji Pioneer:— | I read with some intercst the communication in Friday's Pioneer from | a’laboring man commenting on “Wages of Farming” per editorials by the ' Bemidji Pioneer and Pioneer Press. Farmers, it is true, have been subjected to the most serigus deflations in the prices of their products and it stands without contradiction that they lead, as'a nation-wide industry, in keeping their factories in the fullest pos- * sible-operation. “But, at the same time, it may be well for others, whether | « industrial factory owners, merchants, bankers or iabor union.members, to| ‘bear in mind the farmers are steadily organizing for self protection, and if dcoflation is pushed too hard against them, harmful reactionary measures may be set in motion as they gain power, which may be' along .the North Dakota lines. It, therefore, seems to me each community is vitally inter- ested in that deflation. oA | : Readjustments 'in’ their districts should begeneraliand fairly cmflgie&v out by all on a live-and-let-live basis. In my mercantile, logging and raily r6ad experience. I have found that the farmer, lumberjnék or railrpad:las. borer in’general were fully up to, and above.the averape as sports ingtaking | t}mir&ess‘erts or medicine-in an open and fair give-and-take game of busi | . ness life. % idd A very pertinent question raised by the above laborers is whether ‘de- Alation in general is faivly carried oul in Bemidji or St. Paul? District daily| market reports show farm products have been long at the bottom. There ‘are’ glariig inequ gs’ yet shown in many lines of retail food prices in réstatirants, hotels, stores and ment markets. 'Many lines are still hanging 40 war prices or close to them. Twelve months ago we were paying laborers | n limber camps an average of $80 per month. . The last two weeks general ‘wagcs offered commion laborers in camps are $22' per month. We question | if this severe drop is fairly adjusted on retail price drops, on lumber; or on the cost of living- for a laboring man and his family. It might be interesting for us to see Federal or State economists dem- onstrate how a man living in our city with a family of a wife and three children (being an average family of 5) can’make both ends meet by work- f ing during the winter in a camp at $22 per month. From this wage deducts * hospital fee, tobacco and clothing bills at camp, and with the remainder of the monthly wage sent home, the wife must pay house rent, fuel, water, light and grocery bills, as well as clothing for the protection against the cold weather and keep a decent appearance before the public, %even though they cut out all money for amusement or luxurios, . 2 1 doubt if any Federal or State economist can solve the above fairly, and| 1 beligve it is well to ask the large:logging operators if they canm; if they, with their. families, were ever in the $22 per month class? & ¢ While it is an undisputed fact-that each laborer should be accdrded a decent living for himself ‘and fantily for steady, hoxest work; have other la- rers in odr districts been forcéd idown in-ti h i and the-lumberjack?
