direct primary bills easily outrank
the others in public discussion,

come up for early action in both

Of new road laws, and it is certain
that some important measure on
this subject will get through.
The matter of a new apportion-
ment of the state is just now
much discussed. The last APP

counties in the older part of the
state are two we'll favored. The

member in one district up to
5000 votes per member in anoth-

represents as high as $4,000

as low as 1S, 900. The constitu-
ton requires re-apportionment
every five years, but it has not
been obeyed for a number of
sessions.

Successful Farming.

ka is recognized as one of the
great corn growing states, con-
siderable of the corn being in the
field yet. The corn-husking ma
chine will probably be successfully
used by the larger farmers with
in five years. Two row listers
and cultivators have greatly in
creased the acreage of corn in
Custer County. Still many far
mers use the one row cultivator
aud a two horse team. The seed
corn question has been ably dis
cussed by our university men and
the press.
The question, how many acres
can one man cultivate we'll, must
be considered by the intelligent
farmer.
The writer is acquainted with
three farmers farming in the same
neighborhood. The first two
farmed about 80 acres using one
row machines. The third far
mer bought two-row cultivator
last spring and laid his corn by
with his machine. He raised
more corn than both his fellow
farmers.
Farmer number three did all
his work III his corn until husking
time. He used four horses in
cultivatlng. After paying for
his cultivator (about forty dollars
he was thousand bushels of corn
ahead. So much for his expert
ment and the use of the extra two
horses. Farming needs skilled
laborers as much as any business.
A few additional dollars invested
in up to date machinery would
enable many of the farmers to be
able to build barns next fall.
The cold weather aud snow are
very encouraging to the would-be
farmer. A few dollars investec
in forest or fruit trees would en-
courage farmers sons and daugh
ers to like the home and country
life. During the long evenings
the discussion of some plan fol
farm work would not only inter
est but with a we'll directed effor
would repay in money value.

The reports from the legislat-
IRE on the direct primary bills in.
troduced would indicate that the
chances are very favorable for a
law being passed providing for
primary nominations in some
form. We are of the opinion that
such law would grow in popu-
larity with the people, if not with
the Office seekers. No doubt in
some cases mistakes in nom1na-
ton would be made by the pri-
mary method, but greater mum.
Der would be responsible for the
mistake and it would be lighter
to bear.

The county option bill is awak-
ening quite an interest in the state
Legislature. This is a bill that
permits all the people of the
county to vote on the question of
the establishment of saloon any
place in the county. The church
people are using their influence
to have the bill become a law
while the saloon interests of the
state and brewers are as actively
opposing it.

Congressman Norris has intro
duced bill in congress making
the term of the President eight
years and that of Congressman
six years. The bill provides for
electing U. S. Senators at the
general election. The committee
will submit report favoring the
bill and it has the approval of
the President, but owing to the
urgent amount of business to be
transacted it is not probable that
itcould be enacted into law this
session, should the senate be
favorable which is very doubtful.

eating that the members are in
Producing only such, as seem to
be necessary, aud are not flooding
the state with trivial bills for pur-
poses of buncombe.
Some of the important matters
under consideration are as follows:
S. F. 80, by Shrek, providing for
county option in the granting of
saloon licenses, so that all the
voters of county may vote on
the establishing of saloon in
any part of the county. 1t is said
that the churches and temperance
workers over the state have unit
ed in support of this bill.
H. H. 7, by Dodge, providing
for direct primaries, along the
lines of the Wisconsin and Min.
nesota laws. Also bills to the
same effect by Senator Cady and
Representative McMullen, these
two being different from the
Dodge bill in that they provide
for the nomination of U. S. SEN
ator, and do not provide for direct
nomination of state officials.
They, with many other members,
argue that the important thing j.
the direct nomination of Senator.
The Dodge bill omits that feature.
Il. r. -. by Voter, providing
for landlords lien on crops tc

H. r. 2 and 4, providing for the
election of precinct assessors
II. r. II, changing the assess
ment ratio to one-third the actua
valuation, H. r. 50, providing
for the re-assessment of rea
property in 1905, and severa
other bills affecting the revenue
law, none of which have genera
support except the one providing
for additional power in equaliza
ton by the state board.
H. r. 40, by Ernst, providing
for binding Irvine factory at tn,
penitentiary, and appropriatins
$45, 600 for the establishment ant
$50, 900 for the running expense
of the factory. This proposition
is attracting general attention
and bill along the same line will
be pushed forward in the Senat
by Cady, who thinks COMMITTEE
should investigate the work O
similar factories in other states

The bills IN the Legislature to
establish binding Irvine factory
in the state penitentiary are re-
ceiving favorable consideration
by members of influence in both
branches. This is move in the
right direction. There is no
question but a binding Irvine
factory operated by the state
with practically no expense but
the machinery and raw material
would have a beneficial influence
on the price of Irvine in the state.

THEY GET BIG WAGES.
Salaries Paid to the Officers Of the
Mutual Life.

New York.-ln Fridays testimony
before the legislative insurance inves-
tigation, the sensational development
was when Mr.. Hughes demanded the
pay roll OF the executive Offices of the
company. This was produced and
showed the salaries of these officers
since 1877.
For the year 1904 President Nc
Curdy receiver $150,000; two vice pres
idents were paid $500 each, second
vice president $17,500, the third vice
president $4,000 and the general man
ager S26000, who this year will receive
100000, and the treasurer $4,000.
Robert II. McCurdy said he never
knew the salary of his father until he
heard 1t read in the committee room.
He thought. however, that there
should be no limit to the salaries of
such positions, because they should be
in accordance with the accumulations
o. the company.
When asked if it was any benefit to
the policy holders to increase the pres
ident's salary, Mr.. McCurdy said he
thought the trustees had considered
that when they increased the presi-
dents salAry. No increase, however,
had ever .een considered when he was
present at the trustees meetings.
