The distribution com mittee polnta out that Increased production would not alone solve the hluli coat of Uv Inif problem nnd asserta that tho dominant factor for lilsh prices Is tho method of (distribution. It urge that a bureau of markets and marketlnr be added to tho De partment of .Agriculture. From the trnna portatlon committee camo the adlcn that fast freight aorvlca should bo entabltnhed, rurat roadi ahould be wldoned and n large merchant marine be cutabllahed. The edu cation committee advocates teaching chll 'dren the leaaona and valtio of nalurn. The agriculture committee report wa presented by I:. II. Doraett, chairman of that body. It reada aa followa! The farmer la neither an ooject or pity nor aubject for charity. Ha la not aaklng for apeclla favora nor clnsa leglalatlon. He haa practiced the eletrt-tiour law ever alnce Adam waa driven out of the Garden of Kden, height houra In the forenoon and olght In tho afternoon, and tho reat of the tlma ho Juat worka. The grango aeeka tho "greateat good to the greateat number," and believes that thla prin ciple might well be followed by our lawmakers. It la neither right nor Juat for our National Congreaa to en act lawa for a few at the expenae of the many. Arbitration la the only fair and Just meana of settling dlaputea when tha partita thereto cannot agree. No leglalatlon ahould be enacted that ven tanda to create claaa feeling or widen the breach which now extata be tween capital and labor. CAP1TAI, AND LABOll Capital should be made to under stand that It la helpleaa without labor, and labor ahould realtxe that It could not exlat without capital. Uach In de pendent upon the other. Congreaa ahould take such etepa and onact such laws as will Impreaa upon both partlea. that "everybody la bigger than any body." And that It will not permit the wheals of progreaa to be blocked, oven If It has to take over the rnllronda and operato them until a peaceful aottle mont la obtnlned. It la extremely dangerous for the Government even to attempt to fix a wage scaln or eatabllah houra of labor, unless tho hours ao eatabllahed, nlmll apply to all clnases of labor. Should the law bo applied to agri culture -or to the labor on the fann. It would be a acrloua blow to the farmer, a ho could never get his work done under an eight-hour day, nor could ho afford tj pay a man for ton hours work when he worked but eight. Tha distribution commltteo said It had no dealre to criticize the Uoctrlno of In creased production or mlnlmlxe Its Im portance, but la firm In the belief that Increased production alono will not solve the problem of the high coat of living. The most potent factor la that of distribu tion. The distribution of food produota haa becomo commercialized to that extent that food sharks find It a fruitful Held for greed and profit Take away the profit that la being made through the sale and distribution of food products and at one la removed tho ovll of speculation and la established a safe, sound and economic ays tern of distribution. CALLS FOK OrtQANlJCATION Tho distribution committee urged that the farmer organize, aa ho ahould realize that ha finds, himself outclasaed In the or ganized business parts of the world. Sec ondly, there should bo co-operation with the common carrier, distributor and con sumer. Thirdly, that the consumer learn the value of buying direct and In larger quantities. It is also recommended that a bureau of markets and marketing be added to. the Department of Agriculture and that such legislation bo enacted at the next eesslon. Buch a bureau. It la pointed out, would direct the shipment of fann products and act as a clearing house In all crop move ments. It would work In conJunctlonwith the National Bureau of MarkotH and make it possible for the farmer to have some one look after hla shipments. In conclusion the commlttoe recommended that mora money bo appropriated to carry on tho research work .of Btuta College and tha Department of Agriculture. Better and faster transportation methods are advocated by tho committee on trans portation, Ilallroads should establish a schedule freight service, run on a plan to or similar In connection with the pas enger traffic The problem of local trans portation would b virtually solved, ac cording to the report of tha committee, If rural roads were widened sufficiently to take care of the normal trafflo upon them., On the subject of water freights, the body asks the grange to axert every effort to ward the establishment of a merchant marine of a slxa large enough to carry the products of the farms, mines, forests and Industries to all parts of the world, bringing bock such products of other lands aa wo need In farm operations. The messag of teaching the children the lesson of nature plays a prominent part In tha report of the educational' committee, The body calls attention to the fact that rural schools are too often city schools In a rural community, and that the children are taught about the glitter of the metro politan centers while everything seema com monplace In tha country, thua making the children, blind to the beauties of nature about them. The committee believes In vocational training whereby the children can learn lessons of praotloal value to them with the old farm and kitchen as a labora tory for experiment. Tha commltte favors the consolidation of schools so far as practicable, but de plores tha tendency to make the rural school tha town high school, PLAN FOR HIGHWAYS If the United States Steel Corporation, Bethlehem Steel Company, United Oas and Improvement Company of Philadelphia and numerous; other corporations throughout the Htata -war compelled to bear their share or tb burden of taxation hundred of miles of nrst-clus roads could be built In Pennsyl vania without Incurring; any bonded indebt dness.

WE ARE accustomed to wonderful things undreamed of twenty years ago. Of these the greatest has become the most commonplace the motor vehicle. The taxi habit has made horse-drawn carriages a nov elty, and one in every thirty-three persons in the United States owns a motor car. Aside from pleasure, the con venience and certainty of getting from place to place quickly has become a necessity. Speed and certainty of transportation are doubly important in moving merchandise ; the motor truck came just in time to make possible the business of caring for our. rapidly increased population. t Out in the country towns, as well as in crowded cen ters, people demand the service that only the motor truck can give. They demand it for the delivery of everything ice, coal, groceries, clothes. The merchant, manufacturer or transportation com panythat has not motorized his delivery system is looked on with some question today his competitor has stolen a march on him. All the big express companies are well equipped witH motor trucks of different sizes and capacities. Depart ment stores use them almost to the exclusion of horses. The modern hospital increases its usefulness and its field of service by the swift motor ambulance. Our Government is every day using more and more motor trucks. The suburbs have become year-around dwelling places because of the motor truck. In the dead of winter the city merchants reach out to the far away places that were cut off for days when storms made traveling impossible for horses. Observe and realize the transf ormation effected by the motor truck. To many it has come so gradually that it Kas lost its wonder. The motor vehicle is a necessity.
