Two Good Suggestions

Non-partisan elections for county
and municipal officers and a smaller
legislature composed of one house,
are two recommendations made by
Gov. Lister that will appeal to the
citizens who are anxious to see our
present political system improved.
George Washington, the First
American" was the first to advocate
non-parisan elections, and from his
day to our own, men who wanted to
see ability recognized regardless of
party affiliations, have argued along
the same lines.
"Unicameral" Is a long adjective
to apply to short legislature, but
1t conveys briefly the governors
idea for single-chambered body.
Observers of the sessions of any
legislature in the country usually
leave with painful desire to kick
some inanimate object over on its
side. Their sorrow arises from the
amazing ignorance displayed by the
majority of legislators, and from
the shiftless methods used in bolt
ing laws through the houses. 1t has
long been realized that a smaller
body of trained law makers would
save any state thousands of dollars
and endless trouble. Governor lis
ter's legislature would certainly be
an improvement over the present
body now in session at Olympia.

On Stock Schemes

Under the heading 1.-THE Mail
Order Graft" the Sumas News CON-
mented last week on mail order
houses in general and their latest
variation, cooperative mail order
concerns, in particular.
The News mentions Spokane
firm. Another house capitalized
at something like $65O,O0O, about
$4,000 of which is paid up, is op-
Grating from Seattle.
"Once upon time the mail order
houses were content to foist cheap
articles upon an unsuspecting public
which paid the price in advance,
says the News. "Now comes a first
cousin of Sears Roebuck, from Spo-
kane asking a stock subscription OF
$50 from farmers for the privileg,
of buying by mail.
"Of course many Turing promises
are made. In fact one farmer tells
us he was informed that the fifty
dollar investment brought back as
high as a thousand dollars a year
in dividends.
"And that's going some.
"This mail order concern promis.
es "highest market price" for pro-
duce and gives a rebate of ten per
cent on purchases by stockholders.
When the farmer is hard pressed,
however, he must go to some Other
merchant for credit or to the bank
to borrow.
"It's unbelievable that farmers
will fall for" such an absurd pro-
position. Five years from now thes'
same farmers will be sucking then
thumbs and wondering why land val
ues are so low,
We live and learn"

Creating Plums

To cut out duplication in courses
offered by the State University, the
Agricultural College, and the Nor
NAL Schools, Representative Victor
Zednick of Seattle has introduced
a bill into the legislature providing
for a single board of regents for
all higher educational institutions.
The plan is an excellent one
as an advertising venture for Zed-
nick. and he is reaping many col
umns of free reading matter be-
cause the single board would appear
to make for economy, and these are
economical times.
But as a practical means of gov
erning State schools, the proposal
is rather flimsy. Iowa is trying out
the single board now and is openly
Disguised with it. Not a case of
duplication of courses in the Agri-
cultural College and University has
been Topped off by the Iowa board.
Not one!
A single board was Baddled on
Kansas two years ago by Demo-
cratic governor and legislature. UP
to that time, the state institutions
had been governed by individual
boards serving without pay, and in

sas, such as William Allen White,

period the money value of the arti-
cles usually purchased by the farm
ers had increased 12.1 per cent;
consequently, as result of the great
er increase in the price of what
a farmer sold than in the price of
what he bought, the net increase in
the purchasing power of the produce
of l acre was 54 per cent; that is
acre of the farmers crop in 1909
could buy 81 per cent more of the
articles usually bought by the farm
ers than in 1899.
Upon the basis of the purchasing
power of the value of l acre of pro-
duce, the year 1909 stands as the
most prosperous for farmers of the
past so years for which there are
records.

appointees. With bungling fingers
these three have handled the higher
educational affairs of Kansas for
two long years. They have not cut
out a duplication, or saved a cent
without throwing away dollar in
another direction. But they have
succeeded admirably in putting a
stumbling block in the way of ed
ucational progress during their term
Kansas hopes to throw off the
burden this year. Washington should
not let its Institutions fall into the
control of such political parasites.
Duplication, if any exists, can be
eliminated by survey of the sit
uation by outside educators, such
as Governor Lister has proposed.

The Farmers Purchasing Power

The purchasing power of the
farmer depends not only ION the
money value of what he produces,
but also upon the money value OF
what he buys. From 1899 to 1909
Census years. the money values of
1 acre of the farmers crops increas-
ed 72.7 per cent, but in the same
