We farmers have learned to demand of the railroads 4 much larger number of cars for our transportation needs at some times of the year than at other times. We must learn too that ocean shipping must also be elastic in the same way to meet our seasonal demands. Con- gestion of grain products in. railroad términals at the seaboard “means stagnation along the railroads to the interior and consequent depression of. prices at our inland marketing cen- ters. ‘An adequate American merchant marine will largely do away with this cause for the depression of prices of agricultural products. With the dev- elopment and equipment of more good, ports along our coasts there will be a distribution of products so_ they’ may not collect in huge quantities at a few places No Increase in Rates Likely. “With the regulatory power of the shipping board over rates, it is not. likely there will be a very big, sudden jump of. ocean freight rates at these, seasons of heavier cargoes. ‘This elas+ ticity of shipping facilities is also necessary to the successful develop- ment of co-operative marketing sys- tems. Co-operatives must be able! to get ships when the markets xe favorable, and get them without de- lay or the opportunity will pass. “With an adequate American mer- chant marine this elastic demand can be met. Until we get it fully estal lished government aid will be re- quired. “The question before America to- day is whether we are gding to dev- elop our own ocean-carrying trade, or lapse back to pre-war conditions and depend on foreign-countries to market our products.” Famine Conditions 1 e Prevail in Many ogc’ fy Districts of China Peking, Jan. 18.—(4#)—Famine: con- ditions prevail in many districts of the central provinces, notably Hunan, Supeh, Honan, Kiagsi and Szechuan, but have not yet reached the stage where outside assistance is consi. ed necessary.

TARIFF RATES ARE ASSAILED BY DEMOCRATS High Rates Place’ Heavy Burden on the Farmer, Washington; 18.— (#) —The Democratic assault on the tariff, be- gun by members of the house, went forward today at the other side of capitol. \ lengtor Harrison, Democrat, Miss- issippi,. declared in a senate speech that high tariff rates place a heavy burden on the farmer. Whenever he buys farm imple- ments, paint, a bed, a sewing ma- chine, a pill, a thimble or a safety pin, as well as hundreds of other necessities of life, the senator suid, the farmer pays a tariff levy. Senator,Smoot, Republican, Utah, replied that at the request of the farm bloc duties were incorporated inthe last.tariff set on virtually ail farm products, but Senator Harri>on insisted the benefit was negligible since little farm produce is imported. Senatot Borah, Republican, Idahe, | inquired “whether-the farmer's taviti worries will be ameliorated by re- ductions in the surtaxes and repeal of the inheritance tax.” Notice to Motorists Automebile drivers ‘are hereby warned that the police department will enforce the law. which requires that after January 1 all automobiles must carry 1926 license plates.
