Icoiiier's weekly.J


Senator Cummins, of Iowa. in the
course of speech on the tariff. made
use Of map of the United States
which was on the wall in sight Of the
senator's. He asked that this map be
inserted in the Congressional Record
as part Of his remarks. To achieve
this took motion and a vote of the
senate. These entaiied as much debate
as consumes three pages OF the Con-
gressional Record - probably thirty
minutes. Considering that the ordi-
nary sessions Of the senate, as rule
last but four or five hours day and
less than thirty hours a week, half ar
hour is a good deal OF time. Nor is
this by any means an isolated or un-
usual example Of the lack OF direct
ness and efficiency which IL the CHIEF
bane Of the government in Washing
ton just now. Some of it, of course
is inherent and unpreventable. But on
Of the most certain things about the
future is that the forms of govern
ment. IL necessary, will be changed IL
order to get greater directness and ef.
ficiency.

A COMMON IOWA STORY.


Here is an item of local interest
which aptly illustrates the ups and
downs Of business man. We will sup
pose his name is Jones. Well, Jones
came 10 Clarion about thirty years ago.
His bank account was small, but he ha d
a good trade and by perseverance
managed in the course Of time. with
some assistance, TO come into posses
sion of a large stock of goods for the
size d the town He was prospecting
and everything was moving along in
good shape when one dark night the
fire fend visited that section where
his business was located. The result
was he lost most of his stock and was
unable TO collect several thousand dol
lars Of insurance on account Of the
unre.ia bili;y OF the cor.pan MES. He I
once set 10 work and built a large new
building and purchased g fine stock
When ne ,otaled UP mis- expense he
found himself in debt we'll up toward
10000 That was eoour twenty years
ago J,,st he other day ne paid off the
last dollar Of tha, debt. The mos,
astounding part of the whole affair Is
the fact that ne had paid an amour,
in interest nearly equal 10 the prin-
cipai, over $4,000.

The task of establishing and work.
ing out the division Of markets is far
more difficult than would be suppos-
ed At first glance 1t seems easy
merely keeping the farmers advised
as to prices and supply conditions at
various points.
That is not the problem at all. 1t
will take several years to bring the
division to the state of usefulness con
templated and in time 1t may almost
rival the department of agriculture
itself in Importance. When it is re-
membered that the agricultural prod
ucts of the country run into the bill
lions and that we have foreign as
well as domestic markets and that
the division will concern itself with
everything from the marketing Of but
ter and eggs to the marketing of cot
ton, the great crops Of wheat and corn,

out limit. 1t means such organiza-
