COOPERATIVE
CRAZE.
Fad Among Some Farm
Communities That Will
Not Last Long,

Inc cO.OperaClVe craze among
Western farmers has assumed
q force that threatens to wipe
many good towns from the map
of that section.
The campaign is in the hands
of an Organization in Chicago
known as the Right Relationship
League, which organizes cooper
atives societies and supplies the
goods which are sold in cooper
ative stores. We have hereto.
fore described the methods fo!-
lowed. The societies have es-
tablish9d cooperative cream
cries and cooperative elevators
and have begun to develop CO.
operative stores.
AS we have heretofore sug-
gested, the movement is not
likely to last. If it should, it
would convert many populous
Western States in bowling wild
ernesses, inhabited by semi
savages.
The towns are valuable to the
farmers. They provide high
schools, newspapers, libraries,
halls, social features, entertain
ments, hotels and variety of
small conveniences which can
not exist without the support of
urban population. They give
farm lands value and provide a
market for a variety of farm pro-
duce which the cooperative
elevator and store can never fur
nish.
Reduce a town to co-opera-
tive store and a cooperative ele-
vator, and the urban population
will be driven to the cities,
whittier the better informed and
more ambitious of the farmers
boys will follow them. The
number of farms on the market
will increase and their value de
crease. The cooperative con
Germs could never, in the nature
of things, out-last a generation.
The cooperative structure is
however, too weak to last so long
. Such concerns fail for want o:
, business instinct and selfish in
{ terests on the part Of the man
agement. They involve theil
, supporters in net loss to star
, with and an indirect loss, a:
great or greater.
The cooperative movement is
to the farmers the same as the
! trading stamp fake is to mer
chants-an opportunity to out
siders to make money out O
them without returning any
} equivalent therefor. Inland Gro
Ger.

SItnCeS Oh perverted JOuTildlisIil Vas VN
exhibition in Marshalltown this morn
| ing when the local organ of Messrs.
DAILY and Bradford's law office APP
! peared with its eleventh hour attacks
upon the interurban enterprise which
Marshalltown business men are strug-
Cling to promote for the greater devel-
| opment of the city. The offense is nit
;gated somewhat by the action OF Mr..
Henry In sending an employe to Colones
Parker to apologize and request that
Mr.. Henry be not blamed for the atti-
tude of the paper for the reason that
Mr. Bradford was wholly responsible
for the policy of the paper. The harm
has been done, however, and it would
not be surprising If contemplate slurs
and vicious innuendoes had poisoned
the ell too suspicious mind of many a
citizen. In Waterloo when any num-
Der Of citizens promote an enterprise
the public boosts and that is what has
made Waterloo what it is. 1t is safe to
say that man in that town guilty OF
Bradford's offense would be promptly
squelched. In Marshalltown. however.
it is tolerated.
In substance the charges made by the
Reflector are that Maybe the local
company will sell out" and another
company is ready to build this road
without tax" Are these charges true?
Bradford says:
,Knowlton is here to build rail-
\ rty. -
and his company does not want a
dollars aid from us. All his COM
pany wants Is right to use our
streets for his railroad and certain
right Of way across lands outside
of Marshall county.
On Tuesday of this week Mr.. Knowl-
ton was here and said:

~ couldn't accept your tax or
your franchise with the strings you

tionably give your people an ad-
vantage should tho whole line be
