HERBERT QUICK TELLS CONSER-
VATION CONGRESS OF IMPOR-
TANCE TO FARMERS.
lowan Says Not Only the Farmers'8
Profit but the General Cost of Liv-
ing Is Determined by the Freight.
Rates.
Kansas City Mo. Sept. 26 That
tin- future or Hit I'niH'cl States as an
Hjiiii.'iiMural country depends upon a
l .OSCI' relation between t lit! farmer
and tin; railroads was the gist of an
editress before the National Conserva-
tion Congress here today by Herbert
Quick of .Madison. Iowa editor of
a farm journal. Mr. Quick said while
the relations between the fanners and
the railroads are not always nmlcaJde
ir was the Tanners who really built
the railtoads and were then "neatly
beaten out of their interests."
Mr. Quick placed emphasis upon
lreiglit rates as an index not only
to the farmer's profit but to the gen-
t.ral cost of living lie (harped that
railways in fixing rates often con-
nived witli great population centers
to the detriment of smaller cities an I
the country in general.
'".Mr. Quick enumerated several in-
stances of cooperation between far-
mer and railway or the introduction
of improved breeds of live stock along
the lines of his system by President
Hill of the Great Northern of the
nmiHiflininK of demonstration farms
on Long Island by Hie rennsylvanb.
and of the running of educational
trains for the panose of 'bringing
agricultural science into touch with
the farmers. Hallway aid to agrictil-
ture he Haul has grown to he a fash-
ion. "Hut ali these fine things" he con-
tinued "have been done and are still
being done with an eye tingle to ton-
nage. VYe may trust the enlightened
selfishness of good business to push
this
its
sort of activity to the limit of
profit. Rut in the great task of
conservation do the railways owe any
duty to the farms beyond what they
are now performing? Thiei phase has
yet. to be worked out.
"The greatest transportation facts
fun
d by the American people is the
1
oblem of developing remote part.'
of the country. If the building of a
national system of waterways be re-
sorted to the aid of the railways must
still be demanded if success is to be
obtained.
"The railways of the Tinted States
have enormously retarded agricultural
developments and added to the ex
pense of living but permitting the
lodgment lu our translocation sys-
tem of that industrial parasite the
express company. The express com-
panies perform practically no func-
t'ons which do not belong to the rail-
ways. Every dollar of the. huge prof-
its which the express companies make
is a burden upon Industry unneces-
sary and unjust.
- "The farmer must he placed in such
condition that he can work up trade
in the city and liip in small nckages
to the consumer at just rates."
Mr. Quick then took up the matter
of rate making in the interests of na-
tional development. As regards na-
tional questions lie said the railwavs
iiu-
t be enlisted in such policies as
may
be dictated by patriotism.
"The whole structure of rates" he
declared "as they 'liow exist is de-
vised in favor o. long haul to and
from market and make tip with ref-
etence to the demand of certain trade
centers and certain powerful finan-
cial interests some of which are close-
ly allied to ownership of the railway."
He
referred to the history of ratei
the border line between the Oulf
on
line betwen the Gulf Trade Basin- and
the territory of the railways running'
to Chicago and the Atlantic ports. The
farmers of Oklahoma Kansas Xebras-
ka.
Colorado and much other terrl-
tory
he said are entitled to the near
outlet by way of the Gulf. The bat-
tle he declared was foilght out not
along lines test for the nation but
IS
-once to the interests
"The huildin.
i'c bbed of its bt.
Kates were so adj
tin
i ! ii If Line was
s to the fanner
ed anil stYlt are.
as to make the gulf lines us bad for
the farmer as the Atlantic line in-
stead of making the old lines as good
u the new should be. The present
railway situation Is full ol such ano-
malies." "Hue can scarcely conceive " Mr.
Quick siiid "of blich complete devel- j
opmcnt in Iowa Nebraska the Da-
lota or Oklahoma as has been at-
tained in some European countries
;:id yet it U merely a question ol
transportation. If it cannot be occoui-
I uished by laud carriage he declared
the nation will have to have recourse
to waterways. The desired end. he
said might be attained through the
use of "tapering rates" that is y
rates which increase not with the
distance but. on some basis which
g'ves the remote points a less tariff
than the nearby points. As an in-
stance of the benefit of tapering rates
be referred to the rates on citrus
Iruits from Pacific coast points east.
The rate on oranges and lemon to
all points east of Denver or from
Cheyenne Wyoming to East port.
Maine Is the same.
"The state of Iowa is Chicago's
back field and Iowa's population is
shrinking. This fact alone hs enough
to condemn the rate system which
permits it. The Texas system is based
on the theory that many medium
sized towns and cities are to be pre-
lerred for the agricultural welfare i
o" the state to one or two overgrown
municipalities with rates made to
stimulate their growths at tlie ex-
pense of the rest. This has been ac-
complished by the establishment of a
maximum freight charge. Thus while
such places as Galveston Houston
Dallas Fort Worth and Waco are
anion.; the most prosperous towns of
their size in the country they are
constantly meeting the competition of
that numerous class of smaller Tcmu5
cities the unsuspected presence of
which is such a constant Biirpris.'
to the traveler from the north.
The question of what transporta-
tion has to do with soil fertility and
development was then taken up by
Mr. Quick. Potash nitrogen l.me and
olher chemicals he explained must
be got. to the land from whatever
source it comes and this in iii"ft
i ases is a railroad problem.

ol the big parade an address at the
slate fair the laving of the corner-
stone of tlie new contention hall ami
a dinner at the country club.
Mr. Tall bad something to say of

giicn character to its inhabitants.
They are bold and original ill thought
ami courageous iu execution."
In his addrivss be referred at length
to the late Cotm'c.-snian Madison. "I
had not known him long" be said
"but I knew his strong qualities of
heart and mind his keen perceptions
el law as a jurist and his level head
illness as a legislator.' A speech I
heard I. im make iu congress on ex
idling lawless combinations of work-
ingineii from the application of an
appropriation marked him as the com-
ing man of congress."
Sketching the history of Kansas
the president said "Kansas furnished
the battle ground for contending fac-
tious of tlie entire nation. She was
bom In a struggle. Her early years
were those of suffering and travail;
iti her half century' of life as a state
she has reached great prosperity. May
i' always continue."
President Taft will review the in
funis entered in the state baby show
and will take part in the celebration
ol the senii-centeiinial of Kansas

bility of organizing and l romoting
a Kansas: centennial exposition fif'y
years hence in l'.il'.l. The president
will witness the unique ceremonies
connected with the organization of
the infants.
These babies will be brought up on
Kansas history and as soon as they
are old enough will be taught the im-
portance of their organization and It"'
mission. The youngsters will be edu-
cated with a view of making them
prominent in the public affairs of the
