Wade H. Clay, one of the group of
corporals in the police force who were
adjudged guilty of unofficerlike con-
duct because. they requested the civil
service commission to reduce from six
months to three months the proba-
tionary period necessary before taking
an examination for sergeant, and who
were reprimanded and fined 500 each.

Clay has recently resigned from the
police department, and claims that
while in the department he was intimf-
dated and deferred from applying for
the writ.
The police commissioners exceeded
their jurisdiction when they both fined
and reprimanded him, in that they in
fiicted a double punishment. Clay as

Rural Society Recommended as De-
sirable Step-PossibIe for Congress
to Remove Many of the Handicaps

Washington.-The report of the
commission on country life, made TO
the president, was read in both houses
of congress. Substantially the re
port was as follows:
To the President: The commission
on country life herewith presents its
report. The commission finds that
agriculture in the United States, taken
together is prosperous commercially.
when measured by the conditions that
have obtained in previous years, al
though there are some regions in
which this is only partially true. The
country people are producing vast
quantities of supplies for food. shelte..
clothing. and for use in the arts. The
country homes are improving in com
fort. attractiVenesS and healthfulneSs
Not only in the material wealth that
they produce. but in the supply of in
dependent and strong citizenship. the ag-
ricultural people constitute the very
foundation of our national efficiency.
As agriculture is the immediate basis
of country life, so ii follows that the
general affairs of the open country.
speaking broadly, are in condition
of improvements,
The Glenwood post., 1909-02-13
Most Prominent Deficiencies.

Yet it is true, Notwithstanding all
this progress as measured by his
torical standards, that agriculture is
not commercially as profitable as it is
entitled to be for the labor and energy
that the farmer eXpcnds and the risks
that he assumes. and that the social
conditions in tn" open country are far
short of their possibilities. We must
measure our agricultural efficiency by
the possibilities rather than by COM
parison with previous conditions. The
farmer is almost necessarily handi-
capped in the development of his bust
ness, because his capital is small and
the volume of his transactions limited:
and he usually stands practically
alone against organized interests. In
the general rcadjustment of modern
life due to the great changes in manu-
factures and commerce, inequalities
and determinations have arisen. and
naturally the separate man suffers
most. The unattached man has prob
lens that government should under
stand.
The reasons for the lack of a highly
organized rural society are very many.
the fun report explains. The lead
ing specific causes are:
A lack of knowledge on the part of
farmers of the exact agricultural con-
ditions and possibilities of their re
gions:
Lack of good training for country
life in the schools:
Lack of good highway facilities;
The widespread continuing deple-
ton of soils with the injurious effect
on rural life:
general need of new and active
leadership.
Other causes contributing to the
general result are: Lack Of any adj
puate system of agricultural credit
whereby the farmer may readily So
cure loans on fair terms; the short
age of labor, condition that is often
complicated by intemperance among
workmen; lack of institutions and in
centives that tie the lahoring man to
the soil: the burdens ana the narrow
life of farm women: lack of adequate

Necessity for Cooperation.

It is true that country life has improved
greatly in attractiveness, health and com
fort. and that the farmers earnings are
higher than they We're. But city life is
advancing even more rapidly. because Of
the greater attention which is being given
hy the citizens of the towns to their own
bctterment For just this reason the in
PRODUCTION of effective agricultural CO.
operation throughout the United States is
Of the first Importance. Where farmers
are organized comparatively they not

organizations which bring them together
in the work of their lives are used also
for social and intellectual advancement.
The cooperative plan is the best plan
Of organization wherever men have the
right spirit to carry it out Under this
plan any business undertaking is man

Nature of the Remedies.
Some of the remedies lie with the ma
tional government some of them with
the states and communities in their
corporate capacities. some with volun-
tary organizations. and some with in
dividuals acting alone. From the great
number of suggestions that have been
made. covering every phase of country
life. the commission now enumera tes
those that seem to be most funda-
mental or most needed at the present
time.
Congress can remove some of the
handicaps of the farmer. and 1t can
also set some kinds of work in motion
such as:
thorough going surveys of ali agricul-
tural regions in order to take stock
and to develop scientifically and
economically sound country life;
The establishing of nationalized
system of extension work in rural
communities through all the land
grant colleges with the people at their
homes and on their farms:
A thorough going investigation by
experts of the middleman system of
handling farm products coupled with
general inquiry into the farmers
disadvantages in respect to taxation.
transportation rates. cooperation or
ganizations and credit and the gen
eral business system;
An inquiry into the control and use
of the streams of the United States
with the object of protecting the peo-
pie in their ownership and of saving
to agricultural uses such benefits as
should be reserved for these purposes;
The establishing of highway en-
gineering service, or equivalent organi-
Zation, to be at the call of the states
in working out effective and econom-
ical highway systems:
The establishing of a system of
parcels post and postal savings
banks;
And providing some means or
agency for the guidance of public
opinion toward the development of a
real rural society that shall rest di-
rectly on the land.
Other remedies recommended for
consideration by congress are:
The enlargement of the United
States bureau of education, to enable
1t TO stimulate and coordinate the ed
ucational work of the nation;
Careful attention to the farmers
interests in Legislation on the tariff.
on regulation of railroads. control or
regulation of corporations and of spec
ulation, legislation in respect of riv-
ers. forests and the utilization of
swamp lands:
Increasing the powers of the fed
eral government in respect to the
supervision and control of the public
health;
Providing such regulations as will
snable the states that do not permit
the sale Of liquors to, protect them
selves from traffic from adjoining
states.
In setting all these forces in motion,
the cooperation of the states will be

Work to Help the Farmers.

The commission has tried to help the
farmers to see clearly their own prob
lem and to see II whole: to distin-
guish clearly between what the govern
ment can do and what the farmers must
do for themselves: and 1t wishes to bring
not only the farmers. but the nation as
a whole. to realize that the growing of
crops. though an essential part In only
n part of country life. Crop growing is
the essential foundation, but 1t is no
less essential that the farmer shall get
an adequate return for what he grows
and It Is no less essentla1-indeed. II .s
literally vital-that he and his wife and
his children shall lead the right kind
Of life.
