What Is Best Policy In Selecting
Representative to state Granger
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
The season for electing delegates to
the various state oranges to be held
from December to February is now
on. According to the custom now pre-
vaiing. the delegates are chosen from
there Is Pomona, and in some in
stances the most efficient representa-
tives find their way to the state grange.
In some cases they are not the most
efficient The custom which prevails
In some counties of passing the honors
around to the subordinate oranges In
the county does not always bring the
best representatives to the front, yet
it may be only TO the subordinate
oranges that they share the honors
with each other. But even If this Is
done the delegate at large should be
chosen because of his experience at
the state grange meetings and be one
of the ablest men that the county can
select The very ablest on the delegate
list may be found from oranges in
every Order.
1t has been suggested in Il western
grange paper that members of subor-
dinate oranges should select the state
grange officers they would like to see
elected and have their vote canvassed
and declared at the state grange meet
ing. Only such names as appear on
the ballots sent in by the subordinate
grange should be considered candi-
dates. We do not favor this plan at
all. Rather than this we would prefer
to see nominations made in open
grange, the same as in political con
ventions. allowing the delegate who
placed his candidate In nomination,
say, ten minutes to set forth the
claims and qualifications of his candi-
date. At present nominating speeches
are not allowed, and often members
cannot know of the qualifications
which candidate possesses. Even in
the Pomona and subordinate oranges
it Is not allowable to nominate candi-
dates for office, yet it would save time
If this were permissible.
In recent Pomona grange meeting
five delegates were to be elected to the
state grange. The plan of passing the
honors around among the oranges is
in vogue, and there was a desire on
the part of some of the officers to give
oranges In distant part of the county
representation. yet few present knew
who We're representative men to select
This plan was resorted to: A commit
tee of five was appointed to present
I list of ten names to represent those
oranges that had not recently been
honored with delegate. Out of those
ten names five We're to be selected as
delegates. thus allowing the members
of the Pomona little choice in the
! matter. This was. found to save time.
and the result was satisfactory to all
concerned Whether this plan would
be advisable In electing officers of
subordinate, Pomona or state oranges
is problematical. PATRON.

are elected at the Pomona grange
meetings in counties where there is a
Pomona grange. If not, the county
deputy calls Il meeting some time in
December of all the masters and past
masters and their wives who are
from every county. Any fourth degree
member Is eligible. If Il male delegate
is accompanied by his wife, he draws
five days pay instead of four, and the
same is true if the delegate IS wo-
man accompanied by her husband.
Delegates are paid $3.50 per day fo:
four days and 6 cents mileage one

our contemporary, the Evening Post,
was telling the American people be
fore the Lassage of the reciprocity act
that they were grooming under "tar-
If tax of $4,000, 900 year, which was
TO be remitted by reason of this tax
coming off the importations from Cuba
and going into the pockets of the cen
sumers. Tariff duties of $S,000000 are
per capita tax of 10 cents year.
But the Cuban reciprocity act not only
Failed to take off this per capita tax of
10 cents year; it put the SS,000,00o in
to the Golfers of the sugar trust and the
tobacco trust and it added $75.000000 a
year to the sugar bills of the American
people.
What the sugar trust was planning
with its reciprocity act was an oppor-
tunity either to drive its competitors,
the beet sugar producers, out of exist
ence or to compel those competitors
seeking self preservation to form a
combine under which the American
people could, be plucked through a
complete control of the market. Natu-
rally the beet sugar producers did not
choose to go out Of existence. They ac-
cepted the alternative and made an
agreement with the sugar trust where
by the price to the consumer is ele-
waited and kept up. SO opulent Il
scheme is this that the sugar trust
agrees to buy the product of beet sugar
factories at regulated price, just as
the gas trust buys the product of af-
fliated gas producers at an agreed
price which permits all the producers
to make extOrtionate profits, since the
helpless public must foot the bills.
The whole result of the Cuban reel
procity act then, SO far rs sugar is
concerned, is that th.re is 10 longer
competition to protena the American
consumer. He does not get the benefit
OF the lowered taxes on Cuban il :.
ports. and he does pay, the whole liza.

Basis on which They Are Allotted

1t is not clear to all members OF the
grange just what the basis Of repre-

refer now to New York state particu-
larly Delegates are allotted to diff
ferent counties by the state grange
secretary upon reports received from
the subordinate oranges for the quar-
ter ending Sept so The allotment is
made Nov Is. and every grange in
the state is notified of the number of
delegates that the county will be en-

county is entitled to one delegate at

fifty. Then. in addition to the delegate
at large the county is entitled to am
other for each full 400 members, and
after that one delegate may be elected

The Metropolis cemetery, Glasgow,
as originally planned. contained al
most exactly twenty-four acres avail
able for burials, and 1t was suggested
that each division Of one acre should
be named after letter of the Greek
alphabet, which contains twenty four
characters. For various reasons this
idea has not been fully carried out,
but fifteen sections of the cemetery
have been so named from alpha to
omega, the monosyllable letters be

have not been applied in any partic-
ular sequence, but with the aid Of n
small map they are useful In locating
any particular spot In what is now one
of the most densely filed grayeyards
In the kingdom.
