additional check to depleted rank,
in the fields would ho the establish
ment of modern state rural school
codes. The feral government
should maintain active sponsorship
of this. Rural parents would be
lacking in the element which makes

opportunities comparable to those in
the cities. .The price the consumer
pays for foodstuffs is nn i.
of what the producer receives. There
are too many turnovers betweenlho
tvro. Society and government, par
ticularly local and state, have been
remiss in not modernizing local mar
keting facilities. Municipalities must
in large measure interest themselves
i, if not directly control commun
ity markets. VThig is a matter of
such importance that- the federal

The farmer raises his crop and the
price which he receives is determined
by supply and demand. His 'products
in beef and. pork and produce, .pass
into cold storage and ordinarily when
they reach the consumer the law of
supply and;demand does not obtain.
xne preservation of foodstuffa hy
cold .storage is a boon to humanity,
and it should be encouraged. How
ever, the time has come for its vigi
lant regulation and inasmuch as it
becomes a part of interstate com
merce, the resonsibility is with the
federal government. Supplies are
gathered in from the farm in Htmao
of plenty. They can easily be fed i
out to the consumer in such manner
as to "keep the demand vin excess of
that part of the supply which is re
leased from storage. This is an un-i
fair practice and should be stopped.
Besides, 4hereshould be a time limit
beyond which
should not be stored. Every success

upon government with affection,

ated plan of operation, flenabled tho I'JIW
government to transport troops and
supplies, at the same time affording,
under great stress, a satisfactory out
let for our Industries' It should be
remembered In this connection that
except for the motor truck which
supplemented transportation by rail.
and except for the great pipe lines
which conveyed oil for commercial
purposes, we should not. in all prob
ability have been able to throw our
deciding strength Into the balance
and win the war. Any attempt to
discredit the federal operation of
railroads durng the years of grave
emergency is unfair. In the case of
those wlio know the facts it is In
sincere. Too much cannot be said in
praise of those who directed this
work, nor to the men who physic
ally operated the lines under the dis
couraging conditions of poor equip
ment. But an or tnis is water over
the wheel. The problem of the rail
roads is still with us. The govern
ment and the public should render
every co-operation in the utmost
good faith, to give thorough test to
private ownership. The railroads
have had their lesson. Government
regulation Is accepted now as not
rmlv n nnfotrnsirA ta the nubile, but
as a conserving process to the util
ity. Financial credit is necessary tp
physical rehabilitation and It should
be sufficient for the periods of maxi
mum demand. We should not lose
sight, however of the vast possible
ities of supplementary service by
water. Tho Great Lakes and St.
Lawrence navigation project, particu
larly, should claim the Interest of
the government. About one-thIM of
