Co-nperafior in Marketing Revived .

II is evident that farmers sll over the
country are looking 10 improved systems
Of marketing 10 better their conditions
and eliminate the possibility Of unequal
distribution Of products. The National
Association Of State Marketing officials Of
the United States Bureau Of Markets,
which recently concluded its session in
CHICAGO. has taken the initiative to i'm
prove marketing conditions by the adop-
ton Of constructive program Of activi-
ties which include standardization, CO.
operation, transportation, regulation Of
trade practices, facilitating contact be-
tween produce and market, improvement
Of terminal facilities. market reporting,
research, investigation Of costs Of dis
tribution, storage, financing, education of
consumer and producer, and uniformity Of
State legislation.
This seems to be q moro comprehensive
schedule than any heretofore planned for
the profitable distribution Of farm prod
ucts. It reduces the business Of market
ing TO business basis, which 1t is sup
posed will operate with almost scientific
accuracy.
The farmer must find his relief in CO.
operation and strict adherence TO what
ever plan is determined or So long as the
farmers sell their pork at 10 or II cents q
pound with the public paying four times
that amount for chops or sausage or
ham; or go long as apples sell to the cor
sumer at two dollars per bushel, while the
G. over cannot obtain enough 20 war
rant pic',ing them, II is obvious that the
parties between the farmer and the con
sumner are the ones who are absorbing the
profit and gouPing the final buyers.

LLOYD GEORGE SHOWS THE WAY.

Cut the military and naval estimates IN
two This, according to the Londot Daily
Mail. is the order gwen by Lloyd George
as chairman of the finance committee of the
cabinet to the British army and Navy
Departments. Its boldness lies in the fact
that il is made III the face Of Our tremen-
dnus estimates estimates which are helrg
discussed In every European capital.
British periodicals teem with articles
showing that by 1924 the United States
will actually have comparably the
biggest navy in the world . For the first
time since modern navies began Great
Britain will take secord place. But LLOYD
George is not afraid He sets out from the
proposition that war between Great
Britain and the United Safes Is unthii k
able. To deny that Is to invoke disaster
on civilization
We owe Lloyd George a debt Of grati-
tude for his action-not because II @ ables
us to gain upon England but because 1t
throws into stTorg relief the folly Of cur
own huge army and navy estimates. We
should have been the nation to set the
example Of dfastic reduction in preparations
for war. Doubtless when the budget COM
mittee finishes with the figures submitted
nv Secretaries Baker and Dar iels we shall
be setting such an example. But the credit
and the honor of haviT & led the way viii
belor to another Lloyd George has taken

When a little chap like you
Comes an settles on his knee,
Where he's wnntin' you TO be,
An begins To talk about
Things he cannot live without
Just suppose he needs top
Or sticky lollypop
Or drum or rubber ball.
That bis Ma wont buy at all,
An he tells his grandpa old
Where those very khinps are sold.
An suppose his grandpa knows
That somewhere about his clo'es
He could find the dollar bill
Which those urgent wants would fiil,
What else could an old man do
But TO take walk with your
Who's he goin' % listen to
What your mother says or your
When those big eyes start 10 dance
An those feet begin 20 prarco,
Could an old man be content
Till his dollar bill is spent2
Course | know I'm spoilin' you

But jus get your hat an coat

Accidents More Fatal Than War.

Coroner Bullock reports l47 accidents,
last wear, that resulted fatally, and finds
that Is Of these were caused by automo-
biles and nine BY railroads While every
body has been regarding the automobile
as the greatest factor in swelling the death
list, the coroner reports that 22 persons
were drowned during the year and that l6
died from the effects Of gas poisoning
Powder explosions caused the death of
eight, while four were killed by coming
into contact with & live electric wire.
The accidental loss, Of life here is not
larger than usual, nor higher than the
percentage Of other communities, but it is
probable it could be much reduced
especially when we consider that Of the
more than 10000 men who went from this
State I'd the war and to the camps and on
duty in various kinds, the deaths in tho
more than two years service were scarcely
greater than the number Of these who met
accidental death at home last year.
The unnecessary loss of life and Of
property is a tremendous drain on our
country. The number Of men killed in
accidents Of va ious kinds in the United
States every year equals or excels the
total number Of Americans killed during
the entire war, and the losses by fires,
most all of which are preyertable. would
almost pay half the overhead cost Of -un-
ming our government in normal times.

No Business Crisis In Sight.

Some persons are taking advantage, II
seems, OF uncertain business conditions to
start cloud Of rumors OF a mischievous
and dangerous kind. We all know them
prophecies Of falling stocks and suspended
dividends, liquidation of prominent con-
cerns-everything up to full fedged
panic in the moro or lees near, but also-
gether varie future. These yarns are frs-
auently marked by the interruptions
mention Of company md finn names and
impossible details are given, generally op
wholly unspecifed but, Of course, "the
best inside" information.
These stories are % per cent pure lies
and the remaining one per cent silly ms
understanding and exaggeration. There
is disposition in some quarters to take
sensational view Of them; they are at
tributed TO maliciously selfish purpose;
they are regarded as being invented and
circulated with a view to depressing values,
bearing the stock market and the like.
We do not believe this is true to any
serious extent. The rumors are mere idle
gossip Of the morbid kind, like the omi-
nous chatter in private circles over the
prospects of one who happens 10 be ailing.
! Advertising columns show daily the
confidence of the retail trades that
profitable sales can be made at good
profits.
Goods are being sold in large volume to
consumers; the traders, large and small,
are holding their own. and there is not the
slightest prospeet of ANYTHING unusual
happening now, or soon, or at any time IN
| the future so far as is at present discern
| ible.

In q TsnrIe On tho Tariff.

The House Of Representatives, last
wssk, rushed through Tariff bill. What
II provides for few persons outside of
the House know, and less care Indeed, 1T
is probable many Of those who voted for
the measure are ignorant of it's provisions,
as it was hurried through thoughtlessly
and with little consideration. Themain re-
suit is that the House has 'done some
thing" about the tariff. The Senate, il is
confidently expected, will kill the mca-
sure, probably by inaction, so that no
tariff legislation need be looked for at this
session Of Congress.
Nor is any tariff legislation psobable Mt
the special session of the SiXty-seventh
Congress, to be called soon after March 4,
Notwithstanding the large Republican
majority that will control each branch.
The time has at last come when the Re-
publican party, long the solid champion of
high protective tariff, and still clinging
tenaciously to the idea, at least, is afraid
to tempt fate by return to it's former de-
votion Leaders of the party, especially
in the Senate, have a lively recollection
Of the summary punishment that was
visited by the people upon that party I'M
mediately following the enactment of the
Mckinley Tariff law, Dingley Tariff law,
and the Payne-Aldrich Tariff law, during
the past quarter Of century. Each was
heavily repudiated Also, they have due
regard for the excellent operation of the
present Democratic Tariff law, and of the
great prosperity the country has enjoyed
under it, They have reason to fear the
people would again repudiate any return
10 the Ugh taxation and the enrichment OF
special interests that invariably attend a
purely protective tariff.
II is not held by Republican leaders
that the platform adopted in national con-
vention this year, on which the party won
such an overwhelming victory, calls for
return to the protective tariff for the
benefit Of special interests a the expense Of
the people The tariff plank adopted by
the Chicago Convention was very non
committal, merely declaring: "The Re
publican party reaf1irms its belief in the
protective principle. and pledges itself
TO a revision of the tariff as soon as condi
tions shall make il necessary for the
preservation of the home market for
American labor, agriculture and industry I"
The next Congress, therefore, will not
feel bound to impose another load Of oner-
ous and vexatious tariff taxation, with its
accompanying burdens upon the people in
the way Of excessive prices which they
have had more than sufFiciency by reason
Of the extraordinary conditions created by
the war. The leaders may conclude that
conditions" are such as not to make it
necessary" and thus evade the dilemma
without any open violation Of their party S
platform pledge.
And 50 it is probable the reign of the
high protective tariff. with its gross
favoritism and It's impcsitions upon the
great body Of the people, has forever end
ed in our country.
