were more profoundly revoutionized than be-
tween 1900 and 1890! The cause of this revolu-
ton was the application of the principle of the
trust to American commerce and industry.
Previous to 1890, business was controlled,
with few exceptions, by small dealers Compel
ing with each other. Such laws were then in
existence for the control of business were de-
signed for business owners competing with each
other and such business usages as prevailed
sprang from these conditions.
Then came the organization of business on a
big scale and the elimination of the small owner
from control of the basic industries, with the
one exception Of farming. Methods of transport
tation not more completely revolutionized
by the steam locomotive than were business con-
ditions by the introduction of "big business -
The old laws no longer applied and the old usages
no longer fit.
But where were new laws and methods for
the control of business to be found? Nowhere
except in those states and communities where
conditions permitted political experiments to be
made. But political experimentation is slow
process and it was not until the initiative, refer
endum and recall, the commission form of mu-
nicipal government the short ballot, regulation
by commission and other methods invented by
so-called direct democracy" had been thoroughly
tested by states and cities that it became posi-
BILE to resort to them as national policies.
But while the forces let loose by new dscov-
cries and inventions have revolutionized the
business and political world they have been un-
able to bulge Jim Watson an inch. He confesses
he takes pride in confessing, that he still stands
pat on methods used in the days of Mark Hanna
Those methods may have been successful then
but they now inadequate and the man who clings
to them reveals his utter inability to lead and
the unftness of his political philosophy to serve
in the conditions of this new time.

wishes and in the quest of the county
agent / have tried to be fair with
every one concerned and still felt it
my first duty to represent at any
board meeting the attitude Of my
people.
AS the county agent affects the
farmers l have made an earnest en-
deavor in the past months to represent
the sentiment of the farmers in this
township. When the county agent
first came on the job, | at an early
date made his acquaintance and en-
deavored to work with him in the
schools of this township and tried to
effect a farmers organization and did
everything l could to help him sue
coed.
In the last few weeks I have taken
the matter up definitely with the
farmers Of this township and find that
practically every farmer is opposed to
his reelection; under these conditions
as public official l could do nothing
else than oppose any movement that
would have for its outcome the re
appointment of the present agent.
In reference to the part the county
superintendent has taken in this mat

out the wishes of the trustees as they
found expressed in their townships.
In reference to the board of trustees

casions were passed with practically a
full board present and every resolu-
ton carried unanimously
