Room for Improvement

In Idaho it Is said, a Democratic pres
identiaI eIector has died since his name
was placed upon the ballot
This means that the elector receiving
the next highest vote will be given Gre
dentials to the electoral college OF
course he is Republican, and may be
expected to cast his vote for Mr.. Hughes.
The same thing occurred in Missouri,
only in that case the deceased elector was
a Republican who was defeated. IL might
have been otherwise. and two electoral
votes given the Republican candidate to
which he was by no means entitled.
In a close election, such as this one,
two votes might easily turn the tide and
elect president.
Our system Of electing presidents
needs revision While based upon
sound premises and while, thus far, 1t
mas happened that no great harm has
come OF il, the country has outgrown IT.
Twice in history presidents have been in
augurated who were not the choice of a
majority of the people.
There is no good reason why the cleo
ton Of the chief official Of this great ma
tion should be entrusted IL intermedia-
RES who are in no manner legally bound
70 vote as instructed by their cOnstitu-
ents There are no obstacles. that cannot
be surmounted, in the way Of the people
Of the United tSates voting direct for the
president.
But whether so decided change is
practicable at once or not there can be
no question about the advisability Of
amending the present system so that the
candidate receiving the highest vote in
each state may certainly get that states
full electoral vote.

And they would not have had to send
for Doc Peters. and the doctor would not
have been going along the North Greek
road, nor would he have met Mrs. Carew,
that evening at six o'clock.
And she would not have stopped and
talked with him about her sons paralysis.
and left her door open. SO that her three
year-old daughter Emeline wandered

And Henry Bacon. a young man from
the city on his vacation, would not have
seen the child's predicament, and would
not have stopped his motor boat to res
cue her, thereby missing the train he had
intended 10 take back TO town
And If he had not missed the train
he would have arrived at his Office just in

cashier, from stealing the funds of the
concern and escaping.
And the firm would not have had to

money to send her mother to the hos

And she would not then have called

And she would not have had her child.
Charles MoSeby, who grew up and be-

And these papers, coming to tho
knowledge Of the governor, would not
have disclosed secrets that eventually in
volved this country in war with Carthe-

And that war would not have spread

Death Of oldes. Emperor.

Vienna, Nov 22.-The death of
Francis Joseph of Austria last night
occurred at sos p. m. The end was
peaceful. the aged monarch passing
away as tho sinking into sleep. Among
those in the death chamber was the
heir apparent. Archduke Charles
Francis Joseph. Shortly after mid
night there was rise in the emperor's
temperature, altho he had been about
to attend to state duties and had
eaten a small meal. He was taken lii
suddenly. About six o'clock p. M the
attending physicians were almost
ready to give up hope. The emperor
lapsed into Inconsistencies, suffering
from bronchial trouble and pneumonia
developed and suddenly reached
critical stage. The death of the en-
peror was known to but few in Vienna
last night, but rumors which had been
in circulation during the day cast
gloom over the city. Comment in the
newspapers was to the effect that il
was regrettable that he was not spared
to see the end of the great war.
With Emperor Francis Joseph
passes the worlds oldest monarch, the
man whose life was one continuous
tragedy which was to end in the great
est tragedy of all time-the present
war.

ton, elect officers and send in their
application to the federal land bank of
the district for the loans.
Thru the formation of these asso-
Citations and the bulking of the applica-
tions for loans the business of the
banks is expedited. a local responsibili.
ty is provided for the exclusion of
worthless risks and the overhead cost
of handling the loans is greatly re-
duced. Under such an agreement the
appraiser can inspect ten farms al
most as cheaply as one.
For the farmer who wants to make
a loan the important thing is to find
the other nine or more farmers who
also want to make loans. This is not
always easy to do. because the average
farmer does not usually know the fin
ancial needs of his neighbors.
TO aid the farmers who would like
TO make such loans. and to facilitate
the forming of the associations. The
Independent is printing a coupon which
the farmers are asked to fill out and
mail TO the federal farm loan board.
These names will not be published
but will be entered In list of prospec-
tive members of farm loan associa-
tions. and as soon as the federal land
bank for his district is ready for bust
ness. which should be within a few
ties who have their names entered on
the list will be duly notified so they

Federal Board Explains Farm
Loan Act and Associations

Farmers who wish to make loans
on their lands at a low rate of inter
est and for long period of time un-
der the new federal farm loan act
establishing twelve banks in various
sections of the country. can greatly
assist the federal farm loan board in
it's work by making their wants known.
In order to assist them in this d.
rection Independent herewith prints
a coupon which the farmers may fill
out and send to the farm loan board
at Washington.
The purposes of the new law are as
follows:
Twelve of the new federal land
banks where fsrmers may borrow
money at low rate of interest Will
soon be established in the United
States.
THE privilege OF obtaining loans un-
der this system is limited to actual
farmers The money borrowed must
be spent on the mortgaged land. either
for the purchase OF the lana or to pay
off an Indebtedness upon 1t. for needed
improvements upon the land for the
purchase of livestock or equipment
needed for the reasonable operation
of the farm 1t cannot be used for any
other purpose.
Farmers may borrow any amount
from 500 to $4,000 and the mortgage
may run from five to forty years at
option of the borrower. The amount
OF the loan cannot exceed 80 per cent
OF the value of the land and 20 per
cent of the value OF the improvements.
The interest rate cannot be more than
per cent and may not be more than
3 per cent.
ITO make use of this banking sys-
tenn. however. the law requires that
farmers, or prospective farmers. must
get together in groups of ten or more
and form local. national farm loan
associations This means that the
farmer who wants to borrow money
from n federal land bank must find at
least nine other farmers who also
want to borrow money. Then these
ten or more farmers form an associa-

Paonia Ships 700 Cars Fruit

Last May we clipped a few items
from papers in which efforts have
been made to forecast the fruit yield
of the 1916 season. Delta county
will ship not to exceed $50 cars of
fruit all told. this season." says one,
which is fair sample, and much of
that will come from the Paonia sec
ton
Paonia alone has shipped nearly 200
carloads OF peaches and pears, about
215 carloads of apples, and when the
last package of the 1916 crop of Pao-
mia fruit has gone to the market, it
will be found that this one district
has sent out few less than 200 car
loads. Nothing like full crop, to be
sure. but still enough to make the
calamity howlers of last spring feel
silly.
The people of this part of the coun-
try have been in the fruit business
long enough to know that it is impos-
sible. to make an accurate prediction
so far in advance of the harvest. Such
reports do the valley positive harm be-
cause thousands of people read and
discuss the pessimistic forecast who
never hear how it tallies with the
final results.-Paonian>
