Private ownership of tba railroads under a policy of government regula tion which will lniura the beat poaalble service at the loweat coat conaiatent with fair returna on money Invested in them la favored by representative fanner organisations throughout the country. Tbla policy alao la aupported generally by agricultural newapapers, which state emphatically that the farmers are opposed not only to gov ernment ownerahlp of railroads, but also to all nationalization plans. In a letter to the members of the United States Senate T. C. Atkeson, Washington representative of the Na tional Orange, which la said to be the largest organization of Its kind In the world, representing more than 1,000,- 000 farm owners in the United States, states that the agricultural Interests of the country approve of private owner ship of tlie railroads'and further de clares that peraons purporting to speak for the farmers In support of govern ment ownership are neither farmers nor representatives of any considera ble number of farmers. Favor Private Operation. "The Orange," says Mr. Atkeson, quoting the official action of his or ganization, "approves of the general principles of railroad legislation now pending In Congress to return the rall rpads to their owners, to bring about the reorganization of the railroad com panies into strong systems with capi talization based on actual value, and to create a control commission which may enforce tho superior Interest of the public to that of any other Interest In the operation of railroads as com mon carrlera and effectively protect the public against exploitation or In justice." Many state and sectional agricul tural organizations tnke u slinllur stand. Immediately after the National Orange expressed Its attitude toward , the railroad question the American Farm Bureau, meeting In Chicago, vot- I ed for prlvnte operation, and the Na tional Fanners' Congress, In session nt Hagerstown, Md., voiced like senti ments. The New York State Federa tion of County Farm Bureau Organl- I rations and the Indiana Federation of . Farmers went beyond that and Joined the Orange In repudiating the alleged ; farmer representatives In Washington, who said they spoke for an "over whelming majority of the fanners." Urge Reasonable Returna. The railroad policy favored by tho New York State Federation Of County Farm Bureau Organizations was stat ed In the following resolution: "Whereas, There have been conflict ing statements published regarding the attitude of farmers upon the question of the future ownership of railways; therefore be It "Resolved, That the New York State Federation of County Farm Burenu As sociations, representing 70,000 mem bers, In nnnual session nt Syracuse, N. Y., December 10, 1919, hereby Indorses the action of the American Fann Bu reau Federation In urging Congress to promptly return the railways to their owners under such conditions as will Ipsure reasonable returns on the value of the property and reasonable rate* of transportation throughout the coun try." Views of Farmer Papers. The American Agriculturist states editorially that the farmers are "dead set against" the "scheme to enmesh the farmers In the web of radicalism." The Pennsylvania Farmer, discussing the general demand for private opera tion of the railroads, says: "It la espe cially true of farmers. In spite of the declaration of a few would be leaders to the contrary." The Stockman- Farmer adds: •iKaaners almost unanimously ap prove the return of the railroads and 1 the express companies to their owners. The reason is that farmers, as well as other business men, want service of these Institutions, and they cannot get such service under public operation ns tbey rctß get under the operation of I corporations, which have a direct flnan i dal Interest In performing IL" i EMPLOYEES' SHARE OF RAILWAY REVENUES.

Freight Advance* Compart With Rlm In Value of Oeod*—Transportation Cheapest Thing Public Buy*. Charge* on Bpm* Articl**. Data complied from nutliorltatlve sources ahowa that railroad freight rate* 'are the least factor In the coat of llviae. Although the proportion of the total cost of goods that can, be charged to tranaportatlon Is not knolrn with statlatlcal accuracy, It Is entliMt ed that the average transportation cost of tilings produced In this country' Is a very small percentage of their total cost to the consumer. Freight Co«t 2.4 Per Cent of Total. In n letter to Representative John J. Kuril, chairman of the House Commit tee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce, Julius Kruttschnltt, chairman of the Southern Pacific Company, ' points out that In the last five years the value of goods Increased on an av erage of $63 a ton, while freight, charges advanced only 00 cents a ton. In Ave years, h» explains, the aver age value of freight carried by llie railroads Increased from SSO to sllO a ton. The cost of carrying this Increas ed from $2 to $2.80, paid to the rail roads. In 1914, he adds, 8.6 per cent of the total cost of the goods was spent for transportation. In 1019 only 2.4 per cent was spent. "In other words,". Mr. Kruttschnltt writes, "only 80 cents out of SO3, or 1.3 cents out of every dollar of Increase in value of commodities In I>l9 was caus ed by Increased freight charges. The responsibility for the remaining $02.20, or 98.7 cents out of every dollar, must be sought elsewhere. It was not caus ed by freight rates." Rates Lowest In History. Comparison with transportation charges In other countries shows that In nor other country of the world Is transportation furnished at sq low a cost as In the United States. Compar ed, too, with the cost of other goods and services today, railroad transporta tion Is the cheapest thing the public buys. It is sold for less than the cost of production, considering all the ele ments of cost v In a statement on this subject to the New England Bankers' Association Walker D. Hlnes, Director General of Railroads, said: "I think It Is a'fair statement that at the present time, despite the Increases which have taken plnce In freight rates, a ton of steel or a ton of coal, a bushel of [ wheat or the unit of any other commodity has to pay for trans portation a less percentage of the price of that commodity than ever before In the history of the coun try. 1 : Charges on Some Articles. Before the war a suit of clothing from one of the Chicago factoriea, sell ing for S3O In a retail shop, was car ried from Chicago to Los Angeles for lflH cents. The suit of clothes now retails at SSO or S6O, but the freight rate on that 2,265 mile haul has in creased only RH cents, while the price of the goods has gone up S2O or S3O. The 22 cents does not cover all the transportation cost In a suit of clothes, the transportation charge for carrying the wool from the ranges and the cloth to the clothing manufacturer and other minor carrying costs enter Into the consideration, but the flnnl trans portation charge Is the principal one, and the other charges add only a few cents more. t New England shoes are shipped/ from Boston to Florida at a cost of less than 52-8 cents a pair. This Is nn in crease of only one cent over the pre war rate. The railroads also carry beef from Chicago to New York for a charge of about two-tblrds of a cent a pound. Typewriters are carried from New York to St. Louis for 66 cents. A $l5O phonograph Is carried by freight from New York to Atlanta for $2.85. A grand piano is carried clear across the continent for S3O and In carload lots for S2B. These are typical freight rates, and they make It plain that American rail roads give the lowest cost service in the world. Even with a very considerable In crease la rates to make the roads self supponing. transportation will still be the cheapest thing the public buys.

"With over 60,000,000 gallons of whieke-' in bonded warehouses there is a constant temptation to devise ways and moans of utilizing that li quor In spite of the law. "Tho government of the United States should purchase that whiskey at a price to be fixed by a federal com mission. which price should represent the actual cost of producing it.

"By such an arrangement the dis tillers will get fill they actually have Invested in the whiskey. The great est temptation to break the prohibitory law will be removed.
