Th' Sunday Stale Journal gave tho
following somewhat lengthy account
of tho speecli of Clifford ' Thorne at
Lincoln: Clifford Thoritt Is olio of tho
most Willlnnt fkwyors In tlio United
Statoannd litis been employed by tho
United States Grain Growers. Inc., n
general counsol. - j
Tho evolution and final plans of Uio
Unttod Statos grain growors, lncor;
poratod, wero described to somo soV"
enty-flvo fnrmors at tho Llndoll hotel
Saturday afternoon by Clifford Thorno
of Chicago, general counsol for tho
corporation, following a similar moot
ing of four hundred business men nt
tho chamber of commerce.
Tho plan was drawn up by soVoih
teen man ropresonOlng ovory Impor
tant farmers' organization In tho
country, including the non-partisan
league, Mr. Thorno snld, nnd while
they held many varying opinions nnd
vlow points, they all made conces
slons to tho common Interest and en
dorsed tho plan which their organiza
tions nil ratified at u subsequent
meeting at Chicago early this month.
"Factional rivnlry ha3 always been
cited as ono reason farmors could not
effectively co-operate." Mr. Thorno
said, "yet these seventeen different
organizations found it possiblo to
merge tholr differences and agree on
ono plan, Julius Barnes, who directed
tho nation's mills during the wnr, at
tended our' deliberations nndlcft us
an Impression of his conviction thnt
tho farmer wns not ca!pab!o of hand
ling his own grain any farther away
than at the (primary elovatora. Ot
courso w.o all relished that Idea. I
ask you why you- farmors can't ninr
kot your own grain if you havo a
chance. Haven't you as much brains
as any other business men? Haven't
you tho courago? Haven't you men
you can trust to. look after your bus!
ncss In your own ranks?
"In rawing up our membership
contract we studied as many as wo
could find of other producers organi
zations, that had "icon sustained by
courts, and wo found that pooling In
a local way was generally upheld,
wlillo national pools wero subject to
attack under tho anti-trust laws of
the nation. Wo omitted to decide, on a
pooling feature, leaving that to tho
individual farmer and so drawing our
contract ass to give him tho option
of pooling his grain or selling It to
tho elevator outright or on a consign
ment basis. The plan is to use tho
co-operative clovators already In ex
istence, rather than set up now sales
machinery of our own. Tho farmor
will deal with the elevator and tho
elevator with tho central sales agency
tho United States grain growers in-coryorated.

"As you know, two demoralizing in
Jlnouces on tho grain market havo
boon tho glut Just aftor harvest, and
the domination of speculators in the
exchanges. My investigations show
Hint about throo'-fourths ot ovory
whoat crop Is sold immediately after
harvest, when tho prico Is bolow tho
average, and the other fourth thruout
the rest of the year, when tho price
Is nbovo tho average. Speculators hold,
ngotit 200,000,000 bushola a year and
make a profit on It. Sovoral thous
and years ago Joseph found It expedi
ent to store his grain against tho lean
years. If Joseph and tho speculators
can hold grain, why not tho farmors?
"Two reasons why ho doesn't hold
It are' Inadequate storage facilities
and Inadequate credit. Wheat can't
bo left In tho field after ripening, ns
somo 'frultg can bo left on tho trees,
It must bo sold or Btored. Storago Is
ono of tho functions of tho now cor
poration. As for credit, wo will do
,pond on tho local banks, ns always,
and wo expect to form subsidiary
financial corporatipns to protect our
selves In emergencies as every hlg
business does, and wo hope to bo ablo
to extend aid to our banks when they
need just as, they help the farmers.
"MQinborshlp Is for actual farmers
only, lolthor tennnts or owners who
tako their rout in grain shares. Evory
member joins tho national body direct
and his initial foe of $10 Is tho last
ho la ever culled on to pay. IIo elects
directors, in whom control Is vested
IIo may buy stock In tho financial cor
poration, but tho warehouse and ox-
port corporations will bo supported by
deductions from grain proceeds. A
maximum of ono percent shall bo do
ducted whero tho corporation "per
forms only brokorago sorvlce and n
maximum of. two per cont whero grain
is itorod for tho farmer. Thus the
terminal and oxport facilities will bo
ovuiod by farmers, not by middlemen
('prtificato8 of dodtiqtiau will bo Issued
on every transaction, sliowin;
tho amount and on what it is based.
I'Toni nmnua s experience wo
learned that with expert direction
I'raln can bo oxported by tlo farmors
or sold to the mills, much more eco
nomically than It has ever been dono'
in this country. A grain marketing
corporation there lost a quarter of a
million ono year, whereupon an ex
pert from Europe was employed and
ho not only reduced tho margin of
operating oxpenso but turned tho
quartor million deficit Into a half mil
lion profit. I am told authoritatively
that direct sale, to tho flouring mills
would save rom one to seven conts on
a bushel of wheat,
"Tho whole Idea of tho grain grow
ers' corporation is to give tho farmor
a chance to do business in a sano, j
constructive way, and tho Issue, as I
no It, Is simply whether tho farmer
can do what other business men can
do "
