The Farmers and Railroads
Are Partners. "--President
Yoakum, of the Rock Island
Shawnee,Okla., Aug 18.—Representa-
tins the growing expenses which the
United States government is incurring
in connection with the maintainance of
sissippi valley and the West are
stronger military defenses than war-
ships," B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the
executive committee of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific Railroad de-
livered an address here Tuesday be-
fore the Farmers' Union of Oklahoma.
Mr. Yoakum's subject was "The
Farmer and the Railroad." He strong-
advocated S°od roads as a means of
bringing the the carrier and the pro-
ducer closer together. He said:
"The farmers and the railroads are
natural partners. The first thing in
quired about by an investor in new-
railroad securities is the character of
the country which the road will serve.
If it can be shown that the territory
to be served by the new railroad is a
good farming country, the greatest
trouble in finding the money to build
has been overcome. On the other
"nand, the first question a farmer seek-
ing a location in a new country is,
.'What are its railroad facilities?' The
farmer must have the railroad and the
railroad must have the farmer. The
interests are inseparably linked. The
yrospeiity and success of one depends
upon the prosperity and success of the
other, moreover the prosperity of all
■business is dependent on the farmer,
for the firm is the basis of the Na-
tion's credit and wealth.

tee of the Farmers' Union provide
ways and means for the operation and
management of the central co-opera-
tive association.
That the central selling agent
be employed by the executive com-
mittee as the authorized representa-
tive of the central association in the
management and superintendency ot
the handling and sale of farm products
6.—That the state executive com-
mittee is authorized to prepare plans
for the organization of local associa-
tions and assist in the sale of minor
products and all other products and1
in the selling of the necessities of life
The resolution was adopted follow
ing an address of J. Luther Langston
of Oklahoma City, -secretary of the
State Federation of Labor, who is a the exchange of farm products
fraternal delegate to the Farmers'
Union convention. The convention by
another resolution commanded the ex-
ecutive committee to meet with the
executive board o fthe State Federa-
tion of Labor to formulate plans for
the complete co-operation of the two
organizations.
Another resolution placed the union
on record as opposing any man for

The report of the regular committee
of which J. A. West of Pauls Valley

session today. It met strong opposi-

Houchin of Tecumseh moved as a sub-
stitute that a central warehouse as-

and its report was adopted. The elec-

the state executive committee of the

2.—That a central co-operative as-

"I believe in organization. It is the
only way to accomplish good results.
This is a nation of organized interests,
and under the proper management the
country is better off because of them.
"The business methods of the coun-
try are undergoing an evolution, and
one of the most Important problems
is the proper regulation of the rail-
roads. 1 am on record so often and so
earnestly in favor of fair regulation
by the govenment, that it is almost un-
necessary for me to repeat what I
have so frequently stated publicly, that
the corporations of the country should ^ •
be so regulated as to prevent discrimi-
nation or injustice to the public, giv-
ing equal and fair treatment to all,
with favoritism to none.
"This country now needs what our
forefathers used in laying its founda-
tion—a lot of old fashioned common
sense. Good judgment and fair deal-
ing are found more generally among
the farmers than in any other occupa-
tion, and when they earnestly take
hold of public questions, they will oc-
cupy a place In our political structure
that will make their good judgment
and fair conclusions felt more in solv-
ing the relations of the government
ami the institutions.
"As a matter of comparison, let us
for a moment look at this country s
transportation as handled by the Gov-
ernment and by the railroads. The
splendid railroad system of the United
States, superior, as it is, to any in the
world, speaks for itself, but how about
water transportation, for which the
government is responsible?
Government and Canals.
Herbert Knox Smith, of the Depart-
ment of Commerce and Labor, in a re-
cent report says that this government
has built about 4,500 miles of canals,
and that more than half, costing over
$80,000,000, has been abandoned. This
means $80,000,000 of wasted money.
"The United States government, 19
years ago commenced the construction
of the Illinois and Mississippi Canal.
Its length is 75 miles, and It has cost
to date, with interest at three percent.

offices and salaries.'
"This theory was promulgated in
1801, when the expenses of the govern-
ment were $9,500,000 annually. Last
year they were more than $650,000,000.
The money received for all the cotton
grown by all the farmers of the United
States last year was not sufficient to
pay the operating expenses of the gov-
ernment.
