appearance rather than In fact. —we
find that the courts have nullified It
by judicial interpretation. Why should
not the farmers be permitted to ac
complish by co-operative methods what
other businesses are already doing by
co-operation In the form of Incorpora-
tion? If it be proper for men to form,
by fusion of existing corporations or
otherwise, a corporation that controls
the entire production of a commodity,
or a large part of it why ls it not
proper for a group of farmers to unite
for the marketing of their common
products, either In one or In several

right for a hundred thousand corporate
shareholders to direct 25 or 30 or 40
per cent of an industry, and wrong for
2 hundred thousand co-operative
farmers to control a no larger propor-
tion of the wheat crop, or cotton, er

The Farm Loan banks are pointed
to as an Instance of special govern
ment favor for farmers. Are they not
rather the outcome of laudable efforts
to equalize rural and urban condl-
tions? And about all the government
does there is to help set up an ad-
ministrative organization and lend a
little credit at the start, Eventually
the farmers will provide all the ecapl-
tal and carry all the liabilities them-
selves, It Is true that Farm Loan
bonds are tax exempt; but so are
honds of municipal light and traction
plants, and new housing ls to be ex-
empt from taxation, in New York, for

On the other hand, the farmer reads
of plans for municipal housing pro}
ects that run into the billions, of hun-
dreds of millions annually spent on
the merchant marine; he reads that
the railways are being favored with
inereased rates and virtual guaranties
