that happened during the last session OF
the legislature was the splendid man
ner in which both farmers grange and
union labor representatives co-operated
for the common good. While each was
there primarily representing a class the
knowledge that the measures each were

brought them together into one solid
phalanx Much of the credit. if not the
whole OF it, for the advanced legislation
secured last winter must be given to
this combination of farmers and labor
unionists.
We would not be sticking to the truth
if we asserted that all graneers posses
sed a perfect understanding of the aims
of organized labor or that all trade union
lists had a grasp of the problems con-
fronting the farmer We are only in the
A. B. c. of that mutual working alliance
which lies before us. But we do assert
that the come-toecthcr spirit is at work
among us. The leavcn is working Big
visioned men in both organizations have
bIazed the way for better understanding
of our difficulties and have sown the
seed that shall grow into a harvest of
mutual helpfuness. The first lesson
that had to be taught was that we were
both producers of the nations wealth.
We have learned that. Evolution, the
great teacher, has taken up the next
course. viz: that to the producers of
wealth belongs that which they produce
and unity OF effort is the key to that
course.

of the age, You have fought us with all
the bitterness and savagery possible. But
you cannot evade the logic of events.
The law of compensation is swinging
round. The producer is coming into his
own. He reasons that if the profit sys-
TEN was founded on natural, Just laws,
each idea borne in the brain of man and
formed and fashioned in iron or steel,
brass or wood, would naturally and To-
gically reduce his cares and burdens and
give him leisure for greater development.
The contrary is the case.
The profit system, founded on the law
of force, can but follow its attributes
These, vicious and complex, are con
stantly becoming more completing and
bewildering until in the end they will
bring about its final ruin and destruc-
ton. Each battle between capital and
labor, only sLirmishes of the final revo
luton, help to clear away the cobwebs
of superstition and ignorance and in
still into the hearts of men that faith
in the common brotherhood of men
which the churches have failed to keep
alive and which the capitalist system has
crushed and broken. but which is alb

Cooperative commonwealth.
The day is bright with promise. The

The Denver & Rio Grande railroad
from Denver to Ogden, Utah, and enter

Mexico and Utah, granted an eight hour
day with increase in pay to machinists
and all other metal trade crafts in their
employ. This marks the first great rail

grant the shorter work day and gives
the men, over two thousand in number,
better working conditions than that

the country. What | want to empha
size is, that in my Judgment it is a
crime to spend the State funds on those
higher institutions to the neglect of the
great majority of the youth of our State
who can not continue their education be-
yond the high school age in an institu-
ton beyond the reach of their homes
L insist that it is the right of every
child in this commonwealth to have Il
high school education. and that it is
the duty of the State to concentrate it's
efforts in perfecting the lower schools,
including high schools, until such
schools are within the reach of every
child and youth and have attained the
highest possible standard of education.
1t is an old saying. Take care of the
pence and the pounds will take care of
themselves | would apply the same
adage to our school system: Take care
of our common and high schools and the
schools of higher learning will take care
of themselves.
This is matter of most vital concern
to us farmers. We must make the school
side of country life as perfect as it can
be made. We want the graded school
and the country high school and we want
the teachers who can enter into the
spirit of the broader education that
would make these schools. not merely
places to cram the brains of our girls
and boys with a lot of useless facts
about dead kings and the names of
rivers, lakes and mountains that they
will never see, but places where knowl-
edge of real value will be acquired which
will equip them for their work in after
life and insure their development into
noble men and women. We want high
schools for ALL and as farmers, above all
else we want agricultural high schools
within the reach of every farmers boys
and girls, and which schools shall be a
neighborhood center of educational in
fluence for grown-ups as we'll And we
should make it plain at this session
that the Grange means to have them.
