COUNTY DIVISION

The present legislature is in a
position to make a fatal mistake in
the numerous propositions that will
come before it for county division.
Petitions will be presented for the
division of several counties, and as
a rule, will be inaugurated bv disap-
pointed politicians or special inter
ests.
Our state government cannot
help but increase tax burdens to
some extent for the next year or
two. There is no earthly reason
for adding to this Burden by divid-
ing up the counties.
When county is populous enough
and has wealth sufficient to support
two counties, and its division means
greater convenience to the majority
of the people the county should be
divided. But at the present time
the Democratic legislature should
inspect conditions and motives very
carefully before dividing any county.

PAST MASTER OF RECALL

Some critics of the third term
candidate profess to find an incon.
sistency in his present advocacy OF
the recall. A newfangled device
which the colonel clasped to his bcs-
ON in the heat of battle, it is re.
presented. ...
We hasten to defend Col. Roose-
welt from his charge. Long before
the recall of judges or the recall of
decisions was even conceived. the re-
call of statements was the hobby of
his heart. No utterance was too
carefully reported to prevent re-
pudiation. As climax to a consist
ent career, he recalled the supreme
pledge of his life. Yesterday he
denied his own letter. So he has
done, so he will do.
In truth, Col. Roosevelt is the
personification of the recall. And
to those who would form some con-
ception of our constitutions, were
they subjected to the recall of de-
cisions, we can best point to the
colonel himself. Their word and
meaning would be not less shifting,
nebulous and untrustworthy than
his. N. Y. Sun

THE MIDDLEMAN A NECES-
SITY

The Michigan Dairy Farmer" in
its issue of last week contains a
most interesting editorial regarding
the necessity for the so-called mid
dleman, which we print below:
Among the various remedies
proposed for the purpose of cutting
down the high cost of living is that
of eliminating the 'middleman.
The newspaper and magazine
writers are little vague in their
description of exactly who the mid
dleman' is, but the majority desig-
nate an individual who looks much
like the commission merchant of our
large cities. Favorite words in de-
scribing him are parasite and
economic incumbrance.
The statement is made that a
profit must now be realized by so
many people on each egg and pound
OF butter that the price paid by the
consumer is all out of proportion to
what should be paid under correct
system of distribution. Those who
are least informed as to the exact
situation can't understand why the
farmers don't drive into the city
and peddle their wares from door
to door. Others will allow that the
retail stores have right to handle
dairy produce, but that it should
not come through wholesale hands
where mighty and iniquitous pro-
fit is arbitrarily realized. There
are almost as many theories as
there are reformers and yet the
modus operandi of the produce
business is still the same and will
continue to be the same as it has
been in this country since people
began to buy their dairy products
instead OF milking their own cows
and hunting for eggs in the hay
NOV.
Only recently there came into
The Dairy Farmer office a dairy
man who makes and sells butter to
a half-dozen Detroit families. He
is one of those who would do away
with the commissan man if he were
allowed to settle this 'high-cost-of
living business. And what do YOU
suppose that dairyman was after?
He wanted the editor to help him
dispose of his butter by securing
customers right in your neighbor-
hood and then to deliver the butter
to these customers. He explained
that it interfered with his farm
work to be compelled to come to
Detroit once each week and that it
took too much of his time to deliver
the butter to his costumers that
were scattered over an area several
mics square in Detroit's residence
district. He was willing to deliver
the entire amount of butter at the
eiitor's house, from where it could
easily be delivered to neighbors
AS compensation for this service
he stated that he would slip in an

extra pound each week for the
editors personal use. .
The chance to secure the extra
pound was declined, and the fact
pointed out to this enterprising
dairyman that what he proposed
was nothing more than to turn the
editor into commission merchant
who would dispose of his butter at
a definite wage instead of remun-
Grafton varying with the volume of
sales. The dairyman had neither
the time nor the ability to secure
| the customers in a restricted terri
tory such as was necessary for its
profitable distribution, and he want
ed someone who would create this
defnate, regular market for him.
He also wanted someone who would
deliver his product and remove the
necessity of him giving his own time
to this work. Although he was
loud in his abuse of the commission
merchant as being the fellow who
is responsible for the high price of
butter, he was willing to hire the
editor to perform exactly the same
services that the commission man
performs in larger way for the
produce trade in this country.
1t is law of trade and common
sense that any service connected
with the production or distribution
of any article that is not nee cessary
will soon be eliminated by force of
economic necessity. If the service
performed by commission merchants
were not a thing necessary to the
proper distribution of dairy produce,
it is mighty certain that someone
would have found it out long before
this. Either the men who sell to
the commission merchants or the
men to whom they sell would be
doing this middleman's s work and no
power on earth could stop their
doing it, if any profit could be real
lied from them engaging in such
work. The reason for the middle
mans existence is to be found in the
fact that his service is business by
itself and cannot be performed
either by those of whom he buys or
to whom he sells. 1t is bushes
that is indispensable to the market
ing of produce in an orderly and
expeditions manner that will assure
a constant supply at given point
instead of alternate periods of fam
inc and over supply. The COM
merchant cannot be elimina-
ted any more than can the producer,
the railroad or the retail merchant.
And when we come to search his
pockets for signs of wealth that he
Is supposed to derive under high
cost-of-living conditions, we will find
that he has less of it, on the average,
than have any of the others con-
1ected with the traffic in farm pro-
luce. Eliminating the commission
merchant would be good deal like

4 CROOKED BOUNDARY.


/ vide Two States.
| II you will look on the map OF
New England you will see two GU
rious irregularities in the dividing
line between Massachusetts, and
Connecticut. One of them is in
CRANKY township, a little north
west of Hartford, and the other in
Enfield township, on the Connect
cut river, south of Springfield. 1t
is a standing conundrum why, so
long as the boundary is imaginary,
they did not make it straight in
stead of crooked. But thereby
hangs tale.
Those two little joys on the map
are monuments to human obstinacv
and to the persistency which is one
Of the chief traits of the Yankee
character. The ancestors of the
farmers who own those little spot
OF ground preferred to live in Mas
sachusetts rather than in Connect
cut and fought for their preference
until they had their way.
The controversy began in 1713
and continued for 112 years before
It was finally decided. In 1924 the
question was appealed to England,
but the government was so much
sngrossed in the Seven Years war
that it was never brought to the at
tertion Of the crown. Up to the
outbreak of the Revolution both
states continued to levy taxes and
send notices of fast days and cleo
Mons to the farmers who occupied
the Land, and there is no record of
how they avoided one or whether
they paid both. Later, however,
they voted and paid taxes in Massa-
chusetts only, Notwithstanding the
protest Of the county authorities in
Connecticut. In 1898, after peace
was restored, both states appointed
commissioners, but the dispute wa
carried on until 1904, when a com
promise was reached. There were
several similar disputes between the
two states besides those which now
sppear upon the map, and an agree
ment was reached by which Massa-
chusetts consented to surrender her
claim to strip of territory in
Woodstock and Suffield townships,
provided Connecticut would yield
her claims 70 the other tracts in
dispute. No action, however, was
taken upon the report.
In 1910 the controversy was re-
ived by some legal proceeding, and
mother commission was appointed,
but If it ever reached a conclusion
there is no record to be found. In
1920 a third commission was in
trusted with the settlement, and |
.fter two years they decided upon
he present boundary line, which
vas adopted by the Legislature of
18th states.-E1change.
