that all the debts and expenses of
administration have been duly paid,
and that portion of said estate re-
mains to be divided among the per-
sons entitled thereto, and praying
among other things for an order of

VALUE OF A CITIZEN.

me competition for trade has ex-
panoed from the mercantile class to
me community. The average town,
VI village, is in the market for new
industries and new settlers. They
"aht more workers in the hive and
nearly every enterprising community
= advertising its advantages with the
ne" OF attracting settlers-citizens.
40 this end commercial clubs, and
- sooster organizations are formed.
.ney send out literature describing
sAe advantages of that particular To-
0aiity, either as a manufacturing, an
educational, or farming center.
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1913-05-02

NOW, is this business? Does it pay
a community to thus expend money
Tor the purpose of securing addition
al population? The consensus of op-
inion is that it does, and someone
given to statistics has figured out that
new settler in a community is
worth 81 200 to that community.
This estimate has been based upon
the increase in values, especially real
estate values, brought about by an
increase in population in urban CEN
tiers. This rule holds true as to New
York, Chicago, and other industrial
and commercial centers. Is it true of
the smaller town--the so-called coun-
try town? The writer is inclined to
think that it is more applicable to
the smaller town than to the large
city. This is readily understood
when we compare the value Of farm
land two miles from a county seat
Of, we will say 5000 inhabitants,
and the value of the same kind of
land ten miles from a business or
shipping point. Often this difference
in value amounts to to fifty percent.
The elements that enter into this
problem are transportation, conven-
fence to markets, and social and edu-
cational advantages.
The townspeople are not alone in
terested in the increase of the town
population. Man for man the farm
er is more interested than the resi-
dent of the town. His property, be-
ing largely real estate, is benefited
more by the increase of population
than the property of the merchant,
or the banker, which is practically
all personality. This being the case,
it is strange and to great extent
unexplainable, why prejudice exists
in the farming com munity against
the development of the town. That
this prejudice does exist everyone
who is acquainted with the relations
between town and country must adj
nit. 1t would be a God-send to both
the country town and the surround
ing farming community, If the COM
mercial clubs of the towns were COM
posed largely of the farmers. While
commercial clubs and boards of trade
and oranges and farmers associa-
lions are all right in their place, there
should be but one, and that a uni
versal cooperative booster organiza-
ton, composed of men of all avoca-
tins. The banker, the merchant, the
lumber men, the grain men, the
farmers, and the hired ma nshould
belong to the same organization
the object of which should be the
betterment of the combined commun-
ity.-Campbells Scientific Farmer.

OUR DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.
VI.

That the direct primary system
has to some extent elm mated fac
tional strife in the political parties
over the nomination of candidates
Is true. Frequently delegates to a
nominating convention would go
home feeling that the best and
strongest candidates had been defeat
ed by jobbery and sometimes they
would be so incensed as to organize
a bolt from the nominees of the con-
vention. Now when a candidate for
a nomination has been defeated at
the primaries by the same people
before whom he would have to go
for his election, the evidence that
some other candidate was stronger,
Is so conclusive that it leaves no
excuse for boiling and to this extent
the party organization is strengthen
ed but not sufficiently to offset the
general tendency of the primary cleo
ton system to weaken and break
down party lines.
A study of the operation of the
direct primary system in this state
leads to the following conclusions:
l. That the system is a good
one
z. That the people are capable of
selecting good candidates, when they
are acquainted with the aspirants
Tor nominations.
3. That the law in this state
could be greatly improved by
A; Changing the time of holding
the primary election to some date
early in the summer, when the farm
ers are not rushed with harvest
work.
b: Making the second choice pro-
vision optional instead of compul-
sorry.
Z; Adopting a blanket ballot on
which the names of all candidates
Ior nominations shall appear and al
lowing the voter to select one candi-
date for each nomination regardless
OF party lines
ID: Providing either for the adop-
ZION of the short ballot, or providing
lor party advisory conventions to
recommend several candidates for
each state nomination, the names of
these candidates to be submitted to
the people at the primary election.
e; Limiting the expenses of candi-
uates In the primary campaign and
prohibiting newspapers from adver-
using any candidate for money or its
equivalent.
Inese suggested amendments
would remedy several of the worst
ueIects in our law, which have led
many voters to question the sound
ness OF the theory of direct primaries.
