Washington. - The report of the

went abroad to investigate agricultur-
al conditions with a view to improv-
ing the status of the American farmer
and reducing the cost Of living to the
American consumer, will soon be ready
for the press. The committee appoint
I'd to prepare the report Is here at
work now.
Senator Il. M. Simmons, chairman
Of the finance committee, is very much
interested in the information gather
ed by the commission in England,
France, Ireland, Austria, Germany,
Italy, Hungary and other countries.
He will study the questions Of coop
erative enterprises as they relate to
the farmer and present to congress a
bill that may help the producer get
more for his crops and at the same
time greatly reduce the cost of living.
He would reduce the interest on mon
ey to farmers and extend the time to
loans.

change our system of marketing farm
products before we reduce the cost of
living" said Senator Simmons. 81 do

Temperance Meeting.

Representatives of the Anti-Saloon
League occupied the pulpits of the
Hillsbcro churches Sunday morning
and Hon. j. A. White addressed a
union meeting at the Presbyterian
church that night.
The speakers told why they were op-
posed to the constitutional amend
ment for small legislature and ex-
planned the benefits which would come
from the Anti-Shipping Liquor Bill.
The speakers asserted that to adopt
the constitutional amendment for the
small legislature would give the con-
troll Of the state to the cities; that
the cities were largely controlled by
the liquor interests and thus they
would have a good chance with the
small legislature to control the state.
1t was asserted that the ti.Ship-
ping Liquor Bill which was iniatiated
by the temperance forces would make
dry territory really dry that it would
stop great deal of the bootlegging
now going on in local option territory;
that it was simply an aid to carrying
out the will Of the people already ex-
pressed.
Following the meeting Sunday
night many of the men remained to
endorse the selection Of officers for the
Law and Order League made by the
committee, and to discuss the fight on
] the measures this fall.

The State President of the West
Washington W. c. T. U, wrote that
in her state that the "wets" have
gained two towns and the "drys"
have gained rs When one or two
towns in an enfranchised state go
"wet" opponents of suffrage in other
states make a great outcry about it
and avoid mentioning the hundred or
more towns that went dry.
The experiences of all the enfran-
chised states is similar and it is even
so at the antipodes. Lady Stous, wife
of the Chief Justice of New leland,
contributed to the English Woman of
May and June, 1910, two note worthy
articles on what the franchise has
done for the women and children Of
New leland. She enumerated many
benefits, including the improved care
for child-life which has made New
Zeland's death rate the lowest in the
world. Among other things she men
toned the great increases in dry ter
ritory, and added 81 think can
safely say that the results would
never have been achieved without
the woman's vote.
Mrs. Maud Wood Park, who took
part in the Ohio campaign for equal
suffrage in 1912, says she never saw
anything like the ferocity of the fight
the liquor dealers put up against it.
She brought home samples of the
anti-Sutfrage Cartoons that we're hung
up in bar rooms. She is willing to
show them to anyone who will call at
the office of the Boston e. S. A. 585,
Boylston street.
At legislative hearing in Massa-
chusetts, after several anti's had ar
gued that Woman's Suffrage would
not promote temperance, the attorney
of the Wine and Spirits Association
unexpectedly arose and announced
that he was there in behalf of his as
sociation to oppose the bill.
The anti-suffrage ladies looked
rather blank. N. M. b.
