Industrialization in the South and its effect on farmers
The piece argues Southern industrialization raises incomes and market access, opposing rail rate favoritism. It contends high first class freight rates and overall class rates hinder growth, and that reducing these handicaps would expand consumer markets and farm profitability without harming farmers. It links this to postwar employment goals and a South–North economic balance.
