For, whatever his admirers may claim as to Mr. Wilson's scholastic attainments and elocutionary abilities, no one has yet asserted that he had even an ama- teur's acquaintance with the problems of practical farming. Al , whatever the grangers’ motive, any politiclan can see WLy Mr. Wilson gladly accepted the invite end made them a talk. In the course ©of it he demonstrated, if such dem- onstration had been needed, his total misunderstanding of thie farm problem. I guote one extract: “We ought to raise euch big crops that gircumstances like the present can d¢ver recur, when men can make as if the supply was o short that the middleman could chargs for it what he pleased. It will not do to be nig- gardly with the rest of the world in Tespect to its food supply.” This is not quite as clear languag as President. Wilson is capable of using, on accasion. “When men cai make’ as if the supply was so short, etc. Just what does that mean or imply? The phrase “to make as if” is defined in Webster as meaning “to pretend that”: and the common mear. ing of “pretend” is “To hold out false- 1y; to offer, as eomething untrue or unreal; to show aypocritically or for the purpose of deceiving; to simulate; to feign.” Apparetly, then, President Wilson saye in ths that the middleman, through holding out “falsely” and showing “hypocritically or for the purpose of deceiving” that supply was short, has charged “what he pleased” for_that supp This ls @ rather severe indictment of the middlemar. But what does President Wilson, or any other aver- agely intelligent man. pose that the farmers have ‘o do with the mud- dleman’s holding out falsa informa- tion or showing “something untrue or unreal” for “the purpose of deceiving?” The farmer more In the position of an end —at the end of a “snap-the-whip line. He has no control over the bus- iness .mothods or the moral divaga- tions of middlemen. He is neither their partner nor thefr ally, nor is he usvally even a benevolent neutral. ile is just one of their victims; a yearly and almost daily loser through their multivaried and multifarious “make- as-ifs.” They have, as a class, swin- dled and despofled him of foir prices for his produce as now they are swindling the consumer by refusing to sell to the latter at fair prices. has made smail diffsrencc to them what the pretext or false preterce held out “for the pvrpose of decelv- ing” bas been. Any rumor or roor- back was sufficlent to dep: prices to the producing farmer, till it got to such a point that the wonder is far- mers didn't stop producing any- thing more for them, or for anybody else except thelr own families. The consumers aren't getting any worse treatment, mow, in ‘this era of “hich ces” artificially hoosted and fac- tiously-maintaind, than the farmers of the country have been getting for lo, these many vears. T squeal Jouder because they haven't vet got toughened to the skinning-alive pro- cess! That's all. f .'m-{ rs ago President Hill of the Northwestern railroad system, who knew a whole lot about transporta- tion and next to nothing about farm- ing, started the cry that farmers ought to produce more. It was evident enough why he wantod bigger produc- tion. His raflroads draw their profits from a farming country and the more erops they had to hanl the more pro- fits they might reasonably expect. Since thenthe slozan has been t PRESIDENT WILSON'S TALK TO THE GRANGERS { n't a middleman: he is up by lesser men, with even slighter knowledge of real rural producing con- ditions. _And now it is repeated by the sresident of the United States, Who probably thinks that the farming ad- vice of a millionaire railroad mana- ger reairmed by a president must be the one thing practical producing farmers need. Does President Wilson really sup- pose that the farmers of the United States could possibly raise. such big crops with any profit to.thumselves as to preclude fhe canny middleman from scalping them and also skinring the copsumer if he could find or invent a pretext? And does he really sup- pose that any condition of things sub- Jective or objective, internal or ex- ternal, could .occur-in which -the mid- dleman wouddn't he able- to :find or invent that pretext? If so he allows less credit to artful dodgery than his- tory and experience, warrant. Chairman Perkins of the New York City Food Supply Commission has, since the presidential address, writ- ten to Governor Whitman asking him if, in the absence of any adequate fed- eral control, the great state of New York cannot pioneer a way in tais matter and afford to the peopls of that state the relief which will “come from prompt and intelligent action.’ Mr. Perkins asserts that the trouble is due to the lack of federal. state and city market departments which shall “sti the question of fo>d supply, fcod @is tribution and food consumption in an intelligent, business-ilke manner, and effect such reforws in the methods of food distribution as would bring about beneficial resuits to both producer and consume; He adm: that increasing the output woumid e desirable adds, very truthfully, “I know of no class of ci ens who have tried harder to do this thar the~farmevs them- . But both farmers and pro- ducers know tha: failure to raise enough food isn't responsible for the high cost of living. nts out public’'s and rot a " t Mr. Perkins York state to lock afl transportatio: interest in singie ade- | quate commission to protect its inter- | ests in the matter though about of food suppiy, statistics show that only ten per t of average mz income gocs for t portation, while somethix his income ¢ “Until_we chanze this we will never be able, no matter w; the size cf tie creps nor how the farmers work. to change substan- tially the present extremely unsatis- factory situation and give to the plo- ple the quantity and quality of food they should have at proper prices, it Even the New York Times, which worships President Wilson wi adulation and which doesn’t wholl approve of Mr. Perkins, editorially re- arks that his savings in this case were “excellent.” 1t agrees that he didn't exaggerate a bit about the ‘al- most intolerable hardships” imposed by present prices for food due to the inefliciency of existing methods. It declares that “As a matter of fact, food distribu- tion, as now conducted, can hardiy be called a system at all: it is simply an uncontrolied, undirected growth — a haphazard, empiric eeting of quirements 2s they have arisen from ill-understood needs_.and conditions, and the wonder Is, Aot that distribu- tion is so expensive, but that it costs as little as it does, and that it comes even as near as it does to supplying the demands. of the helpless urban multitudes. There are enormous loss es of money at each end of the line, for the farmer is 1s much of a viet:m as the consumer, and all along the way there are enorrcous wastes. No- where is there any definite responsi- bility, and such training as is pos- sessed by a great majority of those engaged in the business of distribu- tion Is rather in the making of all pos- sible profit for themselves than in do- ing the work expeditiously and eco- nomically.” Here we have two writers, one a critic of the administfafion and one “FRUIT-A-TIVES”?
