Vote for Directors


session of the Canal Stockholders
meeting pending an attempt to re-
consider the morning action that pre-
vented voting or participation in dis
cussion on the part of any one who
was not a stockholder, or who had
transferred his stock to a proxy. 1t
did not appear when this motion was
offered amended and passed without
discussion and practically unanimous
ly during the morning session, that it
was aimed at any one in particular.
But if such was the case, as assumed
during the later discussion, which
grew rather acrimonious at times and
brought frequent and strong remon-
STRANGE from the chair, the balm was
provided when it was reconsidered by
110 to 76 on a rising vote. In taking
this vote, however, no point was rails
ed as to the rule then prevailing, and
it appeared that all voted without re-
gard to proxies.
The original motion being before the
house for re-determination, Senator
Sweeley offered a substitute permit
ting those who had parted with their
stock by proxy to participate in dis
cussion, but not to vote. The substi-
tute was adopted and the matter thus
settled with apparent fairness and TO
gZheral satisfaction
zone of the tellers, Mr.. Leaphart, be-
/ing compelled to leave, Mr.. j. A. Crom
was elected in his place and was given
saIvo of applause as he left the room
TO assume his new duty.
Reading of the minutes of meeting
of October being called for, it was
made the next order of business; and
they we're passed as read with excep-
ton of a correction made by Mr.. Ed
wards and authorized by vote chang
ling the words "Article g. to Article
~ in specified connection.
NDon being invited to the floor, the
Farm Bureau president, DR.. White,
spoke for some 30 minutes with point
and vigor. He declared he had no
apology to make: gave it as his opin-
ion that the word initiate" now the
subject of question and litigation, was
placed in the call for the October
meeting with malicious intent; ex-
planned to some extent and defend
ed the changes made at the October
meeting: acknowledged the steam
roller" process then used and said 1t
was a case of roll or be rolled" and
the farmers had been rolled long
enough; declared that it was not OBJ
ligatory to pay the new directors
$4,000 a year each but that they must
give much time to the work, at least
until a competent manager was in
stalled; claimed their candidates for
directors were simply chosen in con-
ference of district chairmen because
the new system should be administer
ed by it's friends; named them and
asked a full and united vote for each
one.
The speaker permitted questions and
fenced and parried so skilfully as to
draw repeated applause; but did ad-
NIT some radical changes from his po-
sition of a month ago. claiming the
RI ht to change whenever new light
fame.
n In conc1uciOn tho sneaker declared
ne wanted nothing for himself; that
he had spent time and money in the
work of organizing the Farm Bureau
and begged that it be kept alive

Prior to DR.. Whites talk, Mr.. j. H
Seaver read an interesting and lmpor
tant report as to the physical condi
tion of the system and the estimated
cost of needed repairs and better
ments. In introducing his report, Mr.
Gilbert, the consulted engineer, ex
planned that the supply of water pro
vided seems sufficient but that thu
system does not permit of equitable
distribution. Also that, pursuant t
instructions, he has considered RENE
dial measures enabling occasional de
livery 25 per cent in excess of the rec
ognized water duty for the project.
