The Farmers Union should stand as
firmly for the word of its members as
1t does for the rights of it's members.
The word or name of a Union farmer
on package or bag ought to be all
the guarantee that the purchaser
would think of demanding, and the
Union can make it so. This is one of
the important duties of the Union.

bin. He pointed our the experience
of other states with such an. institu-
ton. and showed that they had fared
well. He called attention to the fact
that he substitute provides for much
smaller appropriation than the origi-
nal, and cuts out the so-called 'reyolv-
ing fund" of 100000. The appropria-
ton amounts to approximately S125,-
600. Mr.. Kander of Milwauk ae op-
posed the measure, declaring that
changes in the binding twine industry
were in progress now, which would
make the plant practically useless in
two years from now if such changes
as are contemplated should develop.
The Irvine to be manufactured would
cost about nine cents pound, and If
the improvements talked of material
ize the cost would be reduced to five
cents pound, which would mean that
the state plant would be practically
useless. Assemblyman Roycraft took
issue with Mr.. Kander and made an
extended argument, citing the expert
ences of other states.
The resolution which provides for a
children from four to six years,
adopted last week, came up on motion
of Assemblyman Bichler to recon
slider the vote. He made a brief
argument against the spirit Of the res
olution. and took the stand that if
any change were made at all, it should
not be to six years but to five. lie
contended further that the rural
school might be affected by the pre-
posed change to their serious handi-
cap. Mr., Ainsworth, who has cham
pioned the measure all the way
through, spoke in behalf of the resolu-
ton, and when the vote was taken ii
showed 81 for reconsideration and SO
against.
