based ON mineral raw materials. ole
of the most important is the produc-

not SO much to the direct commercial
value of the finished product though
the output of Portland cement in the
United States is now worth some GO

way in which the product enters into

but in q vast aggregates, cement finds
use on farms, in mining work. . in
building railroads and irrigation
works. as a paving material and in
countless applications elsewhere.
The entire srowth of the Portland
cement industry in this country has
been matter of few decade. for

Pullman, Wash, Friday, March 28, 1913

the machine has gone too far and
III Washington the open and motor
ious domination of the republican
state convention of 1904 by the rail-
road lobby aroused so much resent
ment that the legislature of 1907
was forced by public sentiment to
pass bill providing for the nomina-
ton of candidates directly by the
people at the primaries. That law
has resulted in destroying to a large
extent the power of the machine in
the selection of candidates. The
methods by which the politicians
were enabled to dominate conyen-
tons have proved ineffective in con-
trolling the voters at the primaries
and the machine leaders have been
utterly at sea in the picking of sue
cessful candidates. Having no pat
ronage to distribute and but few
votes which they can deliver, the
machine politicians have lost their
grip and influence and, except in
the large cities of the state, have
been effectually put out of business.

WAKING UP

One of the significant signs of the
times is the fact that the national
and state governments are waking
up to the fact that the demands of
the farmers must be recognized and
that action must be taken to stimu-
late and encourage the agricultural
industry.
An American commission will
leave New York April 26, for Italy,
Hungary, Austria, Germany, Den
mark, Sweden, Holland, Belgium,
France, England, and Ireland, spend
ing 70 days on land, dividing the
time among these countries. The OBJ
ject of the trip will embrace an ex-
animation of the methods employed
by progressive agricultural commun-
tiles in production and marketing
and in the financing of both these
operations. Special notice will be
taken of-First, the parts played re-
spectively in the promotion of agri-
culture by the governments and by
voluntary organizations of the agri-
cultural classes; Second, the appli-
cation of the cooperative system in
agricultural production, distribution
and finance; third, the effect of CO.
operative organization upon social
conditions in rural communities;
Fourth, the relation of the cost of
living to the business organization of
the food producing classes.
Most of the states have arranged
to send delegates with this commits
sion and President Wilson has APP
pointed a commission of seven men
to accompany the party, which action
will m axe it a semi-official body and
insure recognition and assistance by
the governments of all the countries
visited.
In recent sessions of the iegis-
latures of numerous states bills have
been introduced in the interests of
the farmers and many of them have
been enacted into laws. New York
has passed a good bill for the strict
regulation of commission men and
now Governor Sulzer is going after
the stock exchange with a sharp
stick.
Governor McGoyern of Wisconsin
is keenly alive to the situation and
in special message sent to the leg
islature has recommended the pass
age of bill creating a state market
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1913-03-28

AAASSAoh W SudDle farmers TO sell
their produce to greater advantage
and at the same time lower the cost
to the consumer.
Accompanying the message was a
Dill drafted by the governor which he
desired enacted into law.
The measure was submitted to the
legislature because of the insistent
demand from the rural communities
OIL the state for assistance in organic
ing and establishing cooperative en-
terprises to protect the farmer
against unfair business practices and
methods of competition. The bill
also seeks to improve conditions sur
rounding home life in the country
and prevent the constantly increas-
ing influx of persons from the rural
communities to the cities.
The proposed law would create a
state market commission, the duties
of which are defined as follows:
To prevent monopoly, contracts
and com binations in every form det-
rimental to the people.
To promote the interests of the
public, including consumer and pro-
queer, alike, in economical and eff
ficient production and distribution of
all com modities.
To promote the development of
the natural resources of the state and
its proper agricultural, industrial
and commercial interests, so far as
such development is consistent with
public welfare
TO improve country life and to
provide equality of opportunity for
the people of the state.
TO perform the duties heretofore
performed by the dairy and food
commissions, the state board of inn
migration and the state board of ag-
riculture.
To aid in the organization of CO.
operative enterprises and give in
struction by correspondence and bull
ures of production, distribution, eff
ficient business methods and to es-
tablish a market news service, in
Guiding information regarding crops,
freight rates, commissions and such
other matters as may be of service to
producers and consumers.
To devise economical systems of
marketing and the best methods of
establishing markets.
To reduce waste in marketing and
distribution.
To establish city markets and
place the consumer in close touch
with the producer.
To encourage competition without
fixing prices.
To investigate and consider COM
plants of the producer and the con-
sumner.
In the past the farm ers have failed
to receive recogni ton from the law
makers because they have been so
blinded by partisanship that they
have voted for the organization and
not for their own interests. Now
that they are learning to cooperate
and work together instead of at
cross purposes their demands are be-
ing treated with consideration in
stead of with ridicule. Since they
have begun to put their votes be-
hind their demands, the law makers
are sitting up and taking notice. AS
long as the farmers demanded legis-
lation as individuals they were put
off with some free garden seeds or
lot of cheap promises, but now that
they are organized their demands are
being received with respectful atten-
ton at the national and state capitals
and they are at last coming into their
own.
