FREIGHT CHARGE
Hearings on Grain and Hay Rates
Begin Before Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Washington. Doc. 11. Western
tales bc-g:Mi the submission to the
Interstate Commerce commission of
videnve on whi h is based lliir de
mand for redu tions in the railroad
might rates now charged on grain,
gra'n products and hay in the terri
tory west of the Mississippi and east
of the Ro-ky mountains. The pro
e .Hng was originally brought by
the Kansas Public Utilities commis
sion, and the commissions of Minne
ota. N'ebras'ca, North and South Da
kota, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma
have intervened for the same object,
while all the western railroads are
represented in opposition.
Dr. Henry J. Waters former presi
dent of ihe Kansas Agricultural col
bge. was tli first witness called by
Clyde M. Reed. hairman of the Kan
sas commission, and described the
history of the rata situation, as well
cs outlining the grounds on which
the states demand reduction.
Prices Pushed Down
When western states were given a
reduction ranging from 11 to 15 per
cnt on these commodities in 1921,
Dr. Writers said, the commerce com
mission had recognized the special
se-d of agricultural producers for
si ism nee. b"cause their prices had
been pushed down further by general
deration than those of any other
commodity. Whatever advantage had
been given farmers by this step, he
continued, had been practically "ob
literated" by the 10 per cent reduc
tion given all rates last July.
Dr. Waters spoke approvingly of
I resident Harding's annual address
to congress last week in connection
v-;th its drvlarat ion that the neces
sity in the transportation field was
"laMi g of low rate for produe
of foodstuffs and raw materials
.r T-:)iiy. and leaving charges on
high unit priced articles unchanged.
Distress among agricultural pro
ducers was as great today as in 1921,
Hi" witness contended, adding that
the disproportionate burden which
the rrsrnt rates placed upon them
was even greater and the ability of
railroads to reduce the charges could

FARM IS HOPE
OF THE NATION !
SAYS LQWDEN
Former Illinois Executive Declares
Prosperity Depends Upon It
Speaks to Federation.
Chicago, Dec. 12. The progress of
the nation is dependent upon Amer
ica's agricultural success, ami no na
tional policy for America that does
not make agriculture its cornerstone
is so ind, declared Frank O. Lowden,
former governor of Illinois, speaking
here today before the American farm
bureau federation. The agricultural
problem is not one of class, for it in
volves the very existence of our in
stitutions and the future of America
cannot be contemplated with assur
ance unless America remains, funda
mentally, an agricultural nation, he
asserted.
'Until we restore the logical rela
tionship between the prices of farm
produces and those of other commo
dities general and permanent pros
perity is impossible," said Governor
l.owden. "If that improvement con
tinues until normal is reached we can
expet business to be generally in
lull swing." ho added.
The present marketing and distri
buting systems weer blamed for much
of the farmer's depression by Gover
nor Lowdrn. who said "provision
must bo made for more orderly mar
keting and for warehouse facilities
so that it should never be necessary
to sell a commodity below cost of
production, because if stored and
held the world some day will be glad
to pay that cost.
"Co-operative societies in many
branches of agriculture are solving
the farmer's problems not by price
fixing, but by studying the probable
demand, thereby adjusting produc
tion. The co-operative societies being
orgmized by the American farm bu
reau federation are based upon sound
economic principles. By orderly, in
telligent marketing they are seeking
to correct injustice.
"From a farmer's standpoint the
most disturbing thing is the demoral
ized condition in Europe, which fur
rishea the market for our surplus
farm products. Other industries may
succeed without a stabilized Europe,
but with the European market de
stroyed. American agriculture will
languish for many years."
PUT NAVY AND ARMY
UNDER SINGLE HEAD
One of the Chief Proposals in Reor
ganization of Administrative
Branch of Government.
Wr-sh'tigton, Dc. 12. The tinish
torn dies will be put on the plan
i ki d out by the congressional joint
'iii::;;tteo on the reorganization of
tlu- administration branch of the
government at a conference Thurs
day wi; a President Harding, Walter
F. Drown, chairman of the commit
tee, announced today after a lengthy
talk with the president. He said the
plain had not been completed, but
was rapidly being worked out at con
ferencts President Harding has held
with him and with various cabinet
members.
Mr. Drown declared he would be
amazed if the war and navy depart
ment were not consolidated under
the plan into a department of de
fense, despite statements by officials
yesterday that such a proposal was
one of the chief obstacles confront
ing the president in his efTort to get
full co-operation of his cabinet in
suprort if the reorganization.
The plan, it was said, contemplates
the lacing of prohibition enforce
ment under the department of jus
tice. RAPID PROGRESS IN
SELECTION OF ROADS
FOR FEDERAL SYSTEM
Program of Road Work Will Extend
Into Practically Every County
in the United States.
The sslection of the roads to com
pose the system of federal aid high
wavs which will reach into practical
ly every county of the United States
is progressing rapidly, according to
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. State and federal engineers
have held numerous conferences dur
ing the past summer in all sections
of the country.
The system is being outlined In ac
cordance with the requirements of
the federal highway act of last No
vember, which contemplates a sys
tem of highways to be built with
federal aid sue has no other nation
has ever possessed and which, once
built, will be continuously maintain
j ed in serviceable condition. Eighteen
feet will be the minimum width of
the roadway unless conditions justi
fy a lesser width and such cases must
be given special approval. The sys
tem will consist of not more than 7
ner cent of the total road mileage
in any one state, not more than 3-7
of which will be primary or inter
state highways and the remainder
secondary or inter-county highways.
The total mileage of primary and
secondary roads will be approximate
ly 187,000 miles.
Work has progressed rapidly on
the system during the past year and
JO.00O miles of road have been com
pleted in conjunction with federal
aid. These have been projects of such
importance that there is no doubt as
to their being included in the system
as finally outlined.

thought that this program or road
construction will cover a period of
from 15 to 20 years. Many states will
.complete their mileage in a much
shorter time as they have included in
the .system a considerable mileage of
improved road. They will then en
large the federal ail system by in
cluding additional mileage.
When the system is complete the
total improved road mileage of the
country will be far greater than the
IST.OtiO miles included in the sys
tem. How much greater it is hard to
say. but in all of thef states the sys
tem has been outlined, keeping in
mind that state roads independent of
federal aid will connect with it.

Secretary Antles Declares Children

Assistance and co-operation of the

"When the state takes away the
natural protector and home maker of
a child, by all rules of right it shon'd
as f.:r as possible, rive that child
the best opportunity pcs.-ihle, so it

a normal home," Mr. Antles says.
In a recent survey of state insti
tutions and insane hospitals made
by the department. 449 fathers and
mothers cf families were found
"4 49 broken homes and 1.591 child
ren affected and handicapped by the
necessary action of the courts."
An effort is being made by the
child welfare bureau to investigate
each family pernor -illy.
"We earnestly solicit thi co-opora-tion
of all persons who may know
of families thus affected and re
quest that such matters be present
