Congress is considering a bill to increase the salaries of Senators and Representatives from S5,OOO to 300. Our only comment is that it should be made SI0,0OO. While there are plenty men who would "take the job at any old figure it is a fact that honest men are sent to Nash- ington who soon meet uncon- querable temptations from railroads and trust companies and other large interests, who pay them more than their salary to Hook out for their private interests when it is in jeopardy.

Farm Insurance.

Farmers often complain of the diff
Guilty in securing good accommodation
from insurance companies. They COM
plain Of the excessive restrictions and
the difficulty Of getting insurance at all
on some property.
The trouble is owing to different
causes. In the first place, the insurance
business is virtually trust, the COM
panies having formed an association
which arranges the general terms upon
which insurance business is done, and
the property owner must accept these
general conditions or go without in
surance IN the regular line compan-
les. The other cause lies in the TACT
that insurance on 1arm property mas
generally been unprontaDle to compan-
les. Many companies 90 not like 70
take IlSkS on ldlAl PlOr-4-y -,
ing IOunu such business a losing ven
ture, owing to the rather poor pro-
tr1Cts, and also the detective COnstruc-
ton OF many tarm houses, and the dan
ger from Tightening ana other causes
OF fire in barns. One of the insurance
offices recently cited the experience OF
dozen or more Massachusetts COM
pan1es covering a period OF six years,
showing that tor every dollar received
from owners of farm property SI.3o
was paid out.
Yet some Of the cooperative farm
insurance companies have succeeded in
carrying insurance at a lower rate than
the price charged by the regular COM
pan1es, and they pay their losses with
out trouble. The secret seems to lie IN
the closer sitting Of the farm risks. BY
selecting high class of property own
erS, those who are careful IN looking
alter their property and avoiding risks
OF hre, the danger is much reduced.
Again, OF course, there is certain class
OF property owners who place exces-
slVe insurance on their property, often
h1gher than the whole market value OF
the tarm, ana in such cases it IS not
surprising that the loss is heavy. The
mutual companies avoid risks of this
KIND, placing a safe limit upon the
amount OF insurance they will accept.
NO reason appears why 1arm property
should not be probably insured il it IS
looked after carefully and the risks
thoroughly sifted out.-American Cult
VatOr.

Shipping Green Oranges.

This ruinous practice is still going
on. Reports from New York say that
the fruit arriving is still very green and
selling at low prices. The low price
is not the worst feature of the busi-
ness 1t is hurting the reputation of
Florida fruit, and tending to ruin the
market.
SO far al we know, the papers of this
state agre,s in deprecating the practice,
with one exception.
We know very little Of the newly
organized Orange Growers Associ-
alton, but I'll that we have seen in re-
gard to it has been favorable. We
quoted their open letter to the various
boards Of health in regard to condemn
ing the green fruit, and commended the
action. One or two other papers have
done tie same thing. 1t remained
however for one editor to distinguish
himself by denouncing it, calling it a
Fool Break. He denounces the Or
ange Growers Association and the
whole thing. Fortunately for tne state
we 40 not believe that he represents
the general sentiment Of the press Or
the orange growers. We hope that
