From Des Moines Ia, comes the news
that Hucklebury Finn and Tom Saw

out of the city library because school
marin thought that they set too fast
pace for the youth of Des Moines and
had a tendency to make youths ven
turesome and unruly. Well, well!
Tom and Huck passed through too
many joyous tribulations to let little

One of these was that the carriers
should have an increase of pay. A
special effort was made by members Of
the association to embarrass Repre-
sentative Overstreet of Indiana, chair
man of the Postoffice and Post Roads
Committee of the House, because, it is
alleged, he had not done for the rural
carriers what they believed he ought to
have done. BY direction of the Presi-
dent, an investigation was instituted
by the Postmaster General. If the
charges be maintained, as is now ex-
pected, there probably will be a gem
eral overhauling of the rural free de-
livery carrier service"

citizens in their plans. The Iowa law,
nicipal debt to certain portion of the
assessed valuation takes no account OF
what assets a city may have and even
tho a city may own property to many
times the amount of q proposed bond
issue, the law still restricts the city,s
debt as tho the municipality did not
possess a business investment of any
kind.
But the Yankee resourcefulness IN
the circumventlon OF difficulties rs
interesting. At Sioux City second
lighting company is seeking fran
chtse while a citizens committee is
opposing 1t, and in the discussion the
story of Springfields struggle for mu-
nicipal ownership Of Its electric light
ing plant is told. 1t seems that SPRING
field was up to it's constitutional debt
limit but wanted to build a lighting
plant. Sixty citizens obligated them
selves for $1,000 each. A company was
Incorporated for the purpose and IT
was able to borrow 100000 on the Sc
curity Of the obligations signed by
the sixty citizens. A plant was built
and a contract made with the city to
buy its street lighting at the same
price it had been paying private
company except that the citizens
company was to give twice the candle
power at the same price as the OLD
lights. The contract further provid-
ed that as soon as the plant was paid
for out of its profits allowing reas-
enable return upon the money invested
it should become the property of the
city. In five years the plant had been
enlarged and extended out of its profits
until it represented an investment OF
s98. 900 instead Of the original $780,
900 and the sixty citizens had recov-
cred their principal with interest ana
the plant passed into the city's pos
session.
The citizens committee of Sioux
City wants municipal ownership of a
lighting plant for their town and are
opposing the franchise proposition.
Marshalltown already owns its water
works and street lighting plant. both
of which are the envy OF other Iowa
municipalities, but there are many
citizens who want municipal ownership
extended to private lighting as well,
and some would have the city own
the street car system. If Marshall
town did own her street car and light
ing system, it might be possible. under
proper management, to build her own
interurbans. Marshalltown then would
become invincible.

FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS.

Associations OF men engaged in var
ious lines of endeavor are common In
Iowa, but none marks the changing
conditions more vividly than the
movement to organize all the farmers

The farmer has always rightly be-
lieved that his avocation is the most
independent on earth and he has been
Jealous Of his independence. He loves
his decentralization to buy and sell
where he can make the best bargain
and where his business associations
are congenial. He has been as a rule
wary Of allying himself with ASSOC
Citations Of his fellows, and has avoid
ed any entanglements Of business
character. But his desire to be inde-
pendent kept him in ignorance. to some
extent Of the value OF organization.
Today the average farmer Is ming
ling more and more with other classes
of people and as he does so his vision
is becoming larger and his views
broader. He Is learning that asso-
citation will not harm, but enlarge his
independence. He is learning, too, that
as others organize against him he
must organize to preserve his indepen-

INDIRECT MUNICH Al OWNERSHIP.

The heroic fight being made by the
people Of the great city of Chicago to
wrest from millionaire corporations
the street railway franchises and es-
tablish municipal ownership Of sur
face transit lines merely represents the
drift of sentiment In American cities
toward municipal ownership. In Eng
lish, Scottish and German cities mu-
nicipal ownership has reached such
stage that the city governments own
and operate, not only the street rail-
ways, electric and gas lighting plants
and water works, but garbage crema-
tories, truck farms and town laund-
dries. In Germany municipal owner
ship has become such a business prop
osition that town councils scour the
country to hire an expert and profess
sional mayor just as school boards
hire a school superintendent or boards
of directors hire a railroad manager.
In the smaller American cities mu-
nicipal ownership Is greatly in favor
but the problem Of debt often blocks

after a boom. they were heavy losers
financially. The result is that there
are strong indications that not only
the business Of beef making for the
market. but the breeding Of pure bred

that time alone will correct. There
can be little question that 1t costs
more to produce beef now than for

a profit from the enterprise, he must
get higher prices for his cattle
If there is a very general movement
to get out of cattle--and believe there

last year. l cannot believe that this
same opportunity will be extended in
definitely; hence, those who take adj
vantage of it while it lasts will be the
gamers.
I would not like to be understood as
advocating that every farmer should
become a breeder of pure bred beef
cattle. This would not only be unwise
but improbable. Still there is a large
number of young men who have been
waiting for a favorable opportunity to
start a small herd of pure bred beef
cattle. In my opinion there was never
n more favorable opportunity than
now. Prices are low and prospects for
the beef producer Of the future are by
no means discouraging altho they may
