Tragic Features of Political Campaigns.

FTUTI tIc stW fUrIS FfeTaId.
The death Of Mayor Gaynor in the midst
of an exciting political campaign in which
he was figuring as II candidate recalls
wildly the death of Vice President Sher-
mar in the midst OF a presidential CAM
for re-election, and the death of the late
Henry George in the first municipal CAM
paign in this city here under the con-
popularity known as Greater New York.
Then, as now there were four tickets
in the field-Judge Van Wyck. Tammany:
republican. and Henry George. Jefferson-
ian democracy. The death OF Mr.. George
came just a few deys before election and
son of the candidate. Henry George, IT..
was accepted BY the PARTY which had
made the nomination. but the democratic
voters who We're following the elder
Van Wyck was elected as "a plurality
mayor"

COOPERATION AMONG FARMERS
(By H. j. Waters, President Kansas
State Agricultural College,

United to relieve, not combined
to injure. Motto of the Arlington
Cooperative Association
A man, few girls and a cash reg
lister serving meals to a thousand
people a day is the city mans idea
of eliminating waste. Allowing some
one else to take So cents out of every
dollar that his products bring, while
he is content to accept As cents, is
the farmers idea of business eff
cheney.
The cost of getting goods from the
factory to the consumer has been
greatly reduced in recent years by
improved business methods The
cost Of getting the products from the
fauh to the consumer has beer IN
creased through lack Of improved
hnsin IS methods
High cost of living is not 50 much
due to the high price the farmer re.
eeives for his products as it is TO the
nigh cost Of getting these produ It's
from the farm TO the consumer
There is no single remedy for the
high cost of living any more than
there is sole cause for it. A rem
edy, however, that will bring large
and immediate relief, and one that
is simple to apply, is for the pro-
Queer and consumer to establish
direct business relations.
Farm products in general are not
too high at the farmers railroad sid
ing or in the wholesale markets
Some products are not high enough
The present scarcity of meats, for
example, is due to the fact that live
stock prices have been too low to
encourage the farmer to raise meat
animals. This at once imposes upon
our farmers a type of agriculture
that wastes the soil.
The value of farm land in the
United States doubled in the last 10
years This is as much increase in
land values as had occurred in this
country from the time Columbus dis
covered America until the year 1900.
At the present price of land and
labor, it takes more than average
business management in farming to
pay a reasonable interest on the in
Hestment If the burdens of which
the consumer complains are to be
'ightened by compelling the farmer
| to take less than he now receives for
what he produces, land values mu St
be reduced or land owning farmers
| viii become bankrupt
| Indeed if the farmer is to build
Up a good system of rural schools,
including a rural high school within
a riding distance of all the country
children; If he Is to build and main
tain good roads; If he is to provide
in the country home comforts and
conveniences equal to those in the
town home; if he is to build in the
country wholesome recreation. and il
he properly supports his rural
church; in short. If he is to develop
in the country type of civilization
that will grip and hold on the farm
fair share of the best people born
there, he will have to have larger
returns than he now receives.
A part of this increased return
must come through increased effici.
ency in production. The farmer
must not attempt TO shift burdens
that are strictly his own, to the
shoulders OF others. He must see

has not extended its influence much

it has become a powerful factor. 1t
is known as the Farmers Cooper
alive and Educational Union.
Those who best understand the
present situation feel that we are at
the beginning of another general
movement in this direction.
All previous attempts grew out of
the fact that the selling price OF
what the farmer produced had fall
en- far below the cost of production,
or that the margin of profit was SO
narrow as to be wholly unsatis-
factory In these periods is was
utterly impossible to get the farm
ers interested in any plan looking -

that he felt that he was already pro-
ducing more than he could sell 10

er his production, the greater his
misfortune.

Co-operators Must Employ Business
Methods

Any form OF cooperation, to be
successful, must employ the methods
that have been found most success
full in other business. The cooper
ators must be willing to employ as
capable men as managers as are EN-
ployed by those with whom they
must compete. Moreover, in COM
peting with corporations it will be
necessary to employ the methods of
conducting business employed by
corporations. For example, if the
farmers start cooperative grain
elevator at some grain center, they
are likely soon to find themselves
unable to compete with the cor
poration that owns the elevator there
and owns also elevators at other
points, because the corporation can
outbid the farmers at the one point
and make up at the other 10 or a
dozen points what they have lost at
the competitive point. OF course it
is all very fine to say that the farm
ers should patronize their own ele-
vators even if they can get cent a
bushel more for their grain at the
competing elevator. but the average
man is so constituted that he will
sell wherever he can get the highest
price and buy wherever he can get
the lowest price. regardless of who
Ia the buyer or seller.
