TIMELY ACTION BY LEADERS
Twenty Prominent co-operatives
Meet In Conference at st. Paul
ard Adopt Regulations.

In the rooms of the Right Relation
chip league in the Twin Cities there
recently gathered together In confer
ence upon cooperative organization
some twenty leaders of the co-opera-
tive movement in the United States.
This informal gathering spent two
days going over the needs Of the CO.
operative movement in the United
States, and as result of their dis
cussions formulated statement of
what constitutes actual cooperation
In the following words:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense OF
this meeting the term cooperative
should rightfully be applied only to
such organizations as comply with the
following regulations:
First. The limiting Of votes to the
individual member, irresponsible OF
holdings, abolishing the proxy.
Second. Limiting of interest on
capital stock to the prevailing rates
Of interest.
Third. The return of surplus pref
lts according to patronage, and, where
practicable, also according to service"
Such action is timely. The name
cooperative" has been used without
warrant by all sorts of private con-
Germs seeking to get some trade adj
vantage through enaisting the sym-
pathies OF the people, and this to the
serious hampering Of the movement
through the exploitation of those who
we're led to believe that mere names
mean something. The second Inn
portant step taken at this conference
was toward united action to secure le-
gal Interpretation Of the term GO
operation" limiting its use to only
such associations as fall within the
meaning Of the term. Wisconsin now
has such law, model in many re
spects for further legislation, both
state and national. The last and most
important action taken By the con
ference was to organize as a perma
nent body, essentially for educational
work, with an executive committee
consisting of C. O. Boring Of Chicago
Willet NJ Hays of the department OF
agriculture at Washington. and G
Harold Powell of Los Angeles as the
appointed members. The work of this
committee Is to bring together those
interested in the cooperative move
ment, and to lay plans for the forma
4 ton of federation Of co-operatives
throughout the United States, pos
u sihfv soynawhat after the fashion n,

Advantage Of Cooperation.

One advantage Of the cooperative
neighborhood cannery Is found In the
fact that in the former q more COM
plete sterilization of the product is
secured through the use OF steam
superheated under pressure. Some
germs survive the ordinary boiling
practiced In home canning, and a
higher degree of heat is necessary to
destroy them.

require the Depar tment to follow it.

gives any credit to the rule, and re.
ports to me that a +. Ms. service il

reapp,, ntment, provided no substan-
tiai com plaint from the patrons OF
the Office is made to me, l shall

pending, that the P. Ms. are not satis-

and it does not appear tt, me tnat un-
far advantage has been taken, I shall
recommend SUCCESSORS.
Fourth: When vacancies occur l
shall recommend some one from among
the citizens that seems satisfactory to
the public.
These rules are consistent with tho
stated rules OF the Department, but
may not be followed by the Depart
ment, but that will not be my fault.

So far the answers coming in have
been very favoranle, which bodies we'll
for the attendance from the country
school to those new departments, and
thereby will the: local high school
share in the appropriations made by
the state each year for such work.
