_8served by waterways from excessive rates which the railroads now charge to make up for their frequent losses. " on the long hauls to kill water com- ‘petition.. Contrary to the genéral im- pression which the railroads seek to create, they have no knowledge of their costs such as an up-to-date fac- _tory would have. Their financiers " merely go ahead in a blind. fashion, striking at this and that form of wa- ter competition and covering losses by high rates to noncompetitive points. They build up great cities by favor- able rates and starve the towns and _country in between. Another readjustment necessary is the removal of the discriminative rates on farm products. Being heavily interested in oil, coal, iron, copper and manufactured goods, the men who have controlled our railroads have given these low rates and made up their- profits largely on agricultural shipments. The rate classifications are such that only an expert can un- derstand them. All of this nonsense should be wiped off the books and a few simple classifications adopted which all could understand and which would not permit of the rate juggling that has been practiced in the past. WHAT COMPETITORS ARE DOING The nearest of our competitors, Canada, has made important prepara- tions for the. Pacific coast route. The Dominion government has built a mammoth elevator at Vancouver and operates four. others for the benefit of the western farmers at inland points, one of which is at Port Arthur, on Lake Superior. The co-operative movement there furnishes the other connecting link which will take grain from the farm to the seaboard with- out profit. The Saskatchewan Co- Operative Elevator Company, Ltd., for instance, which is largely financed by the government, operated 258 interior elevators in 1917. How can our farm- ers in such states as Montana, Idaho and Washington meet this competition if we do not eliminate the long rajl _ ‘haul east? Australia as long ago as 1915 elim- inated all profiteering in the handling of grain until it reached the European buyer. Both Australia and New Zea- land are handicapped by their distance from Europe, a five weeks’ voyage, but this handicap is more than re- moved by government buying and shipping of grain without profit.-Also, with more virgin land these two «countries can probably raise wheat somewhat cheaper than we can. Prac- tically all of Argentina lies near the seaboard, and consequently it has no long rail hauls. It is not as far from Europe as our west coast and it has virgin land. ; ; The competition of these countries . must be met successfully or our farm- ers must be confined to producing for the home market. We have the land; we_have the labor; after the war we will have the ships. The vital thing ‘we have to prepare is transportation “facilities, run”at cost, for the benefit “of the producers competing with-the outside world. 3 . We must_let - producers determine > . the transportation rather than allow transportation monopolies ‘determine the production, as is inevitable under private ownership of railways. These . producers, whether on farm or in fac- tory, can manage their business bet- Rer than railroad and shipping finan- - ciers aiming at their own maximum TYrofit can manage it for them. Gov- ernment-owned rail and water trans- oportation for service’ only is the way “out. . - % : : ‘Along: with transportation' we must “include elevators, cold' storage plants, -packing houses and port facilities so’ an open road to. the “foreign market - that the basic farm products can have i enterprise to put these things across that it may be a stronger nation. Free America must do it if it is to keep even what it now has in com- petition with enterprising competitor nations. - CONSERVE YOUR LEADERS Under the government ruling, no sample copies of a paper can be sent out by publishers. This means that no one will see the Nonpartisan Leader unless he pays for it. BUT, HOLD ON! Suppose every reader would mail' his copy to a friend, or hand it to a neighbor, after the fam- ily had enjoyed it.- Wouldn’t that reach a lot of people? - It would con- vert a lot, too. What a mountain of votes the League would have if every member would catch some pal and show him what’s what, and who’s who! Will you do it? Thanks.
