The Farmers National Association.
We have had a number of inquiries
recently concerning the Farmers Ma
tional association, which has been
carrying advertisements in some OF
the county papers for the purpose OF
enlisting agents
This is an association being organ
lied by some men of Des Moines. The
membership fee is $12.50 OF this
$3.50 the promoters or organizers get
$1050 The promoters have contract
with the association which gives them
the exclusive right to organize 1t for
a period of five years.
After they have worked a year 1t is
expected that they will call meeting
of all who became members. At this
meeting it is expected that all mem
bers will lay out the work they want
to do. The promoters have nothing
to do with this further than to call the
meeting. Their work is to sell menu
berships, for each one Of which, as we
have said, they get $10.ov out of the
fee of $3.50. Having organized the
association, it will then be up to the
members to carry it on and do what
they think ought to be done for their
own benefit.
Iinasmuch as there is live farm
bureau in every county in Iowa, and
state federation of these county
bureaus, it is a little hard to see Just
why, Iowa, farmers should pay $3.50
to join a new association, even if 1t
aims to do what the farm bureaus are
doing. n, -. ,i.,5.1 a. .sala yf"r3e

not likely to suffer because of his ac-

Fuel Ban Lifted.

Remission of the fuel saving orders,
which have effected partial closing of
the stores, comes as a great relief to
the people and the merchants of
Washington, who have cheerfully com
piled with the rules during the brief
period of their application. No more
unfortunate time could have been had
for the enforcement of so drastic a
regulation. The holiday trade is in
full swing, and many thousands of
people in this city, as in others, have
been handicapped seriously in their
purchases. Heavy losses have been
suffered by the trade. Yet these in.

general welfare the people are dis

Remedies for the Motor Evil.

Expressions of Indignation in the
Senate regarding the recklcssness of
some of the motorists who use the
streets of Washington may go to ex-
tremes. but they are nevertheless in
dlcative of profound feeling that must
be taken into account. Conservative
motorists ard they are by far the
majority of those who use the streets
cannot fail to Sympathize with the
sense of outrage that is felt by the
Legislators who have been so out
spoken on the subject of recklessness
in the use of the streets. For every
motorist as well as every pedestrian is
endangered by the high speed defiers
of the rules. Their ears as well as
their persons are menaced continually
through the carelessness and haste of
a small but pernicious minority
Last night the Safety First Associa
ton adopted resolution calling for
the appointment of an automobile
license board. This goes to the root
of the evil of the present situation. 1t
is commonplace that numbers of ears
are being driven through the streets
of Washington by persons who have
no license at all and others by men
and women who should never be grant
ed licenses, who are temperamentally
and even physically unfit to handle
machines. Drivers are licensed who
have no experience and are virtually
learners in the crowded streets. There
are no tests worthy the name in the
process of granting licenses. Practi-
eally anybody with the price can get
card and tag at the District build
ing. 1t is now proposed that the
board shall take over this duty in
order that applications may be closely
examined and applicants tested as to
their qualifications.
If the Senate committee, which it is
understood is about to take up this
question, wishes to reach the cause of
the trouble, it will recommend the
organization of license board and
also provide for a traffic court, which
will have full jurisdiction over all
questions affecting street use, backed
by such penalties provided by law
that violations of rules and injuries
to life and property may be visited
with prompt and adequate punish
ment.
Criticism is voiced of the cOroner's
juries that have passed judgment upon
accident cases. The verdiets of these
juries are almost invariably favorable
to the motorists figuring in fatalities.
These verdicts, however, do not pre-
clude investigation of the eases by
the grand jury. A coroner's verdict
is not final vindicatiOn or acquittal.
1t is merely advisory and may be
ignored, whatever the findings. If
there is not sufficient vigOr in the
prosecution of these eases Congress
may perhaps insure it by legislation
Certainly public sentiment today is
strongly favorable to more severe
application of law to those who figure
i'll accidents that cause serious in.

SHOOTING STARS.

Well Worth While.

Well Worth While.
TIL, journey is long to each pleasure
we seek;
For an hour of contentment we toll
for a week.
And years of devotion are counted
worth while
If they earn some kind word or a
coveted smile.
The ear may be crowded in which you
must ride
With bundles obtruding on every side
But we know that our hearts will be
light as of yore,
When we gather to say, "Merry Christ
mas" once more.
So we try to heed all that they tell
us to do.
We quickly "move forward" and "step
lively too.
We strive to "shop early" and do not
complain
If u salesman observes us with weary
disdain.
When delivery service has faltered
and shrunk,
Well carry q package as big as a
trunk;
And the troubles worth while as the
road we explore
To the place where well say, merry
Christmas" once more.
