REINFORCEMENT.
Annual Meeting Result.
in inauguration of
Campaign to Aid Ma
tion-Wide Project.

Making the county farm bureau,
through its state and national affilia-
tions, something more than a country
doctor for farming i'll received a real
impetus here Monday when the
largest crowd of representative Can
yon county men and women interested
in advancing farm work that had ever
assembled for farm bureau annual
meeting got solidly behind that broad
ened scope of activities undertaken
by the undermined farm bureau.
Annual dues raised from 81 to $3.50
per annum, the increase to cover q
so per cent contribution to the ma
tional organization and 81 to go to
the state for the employment of =
state farm bureau secretary whose
duty it shall be to get crop reports
and other information relative to farm
operations in Idaho. At, the conclu-
sion of the meeting, practically every
member present re-enrolled for the
coming year and pledged support in
obtaining an enlarged membership for
the farm bureau in Canyon county.
Miller New President.
Amos J. Miller was elected presi-
dent of the farm bureau for the COM
ing year with w. B. Mitchell of Parma
and S. G. Tucker of Notus as first and
second vice presidents, w. H. Nc
Cluskey as secretary and Charles
Howard treasurer.
Reports were read of the work ac-
complished at indianapolis and the
drastic action taken by the national
farm bureau organization in getting
activity into the economic and indus
trial problems confronting farmer.
General approval was voiced of this
work, the opinion of those present
being clearly manifested in the recep-
ton given the increased farm bureau
membership fee.
Oppose Change in Rates.
Attention was called to the rehear-
ing of the case relating to extra
charges by the railroads on diverted
cars which is to be held before the
state public utilities commission
shortly to determine Idaho's recon-
mendation on this matter. The state
commission formerly opposed these
charges and expressed a willingness
to do SO again in the event popular
support could be received on this mat
ter. Various speakers pointed out
that adoption of the diversion charge
policy by railroads making shippers
pay local freight rates for their goods
would work real hardship on Idaho
shippers who are far removed from
the markets and the stand taken by
the Idaho commission was approved.
Criticism of the Idaho inspection
regulations prompted the following
resolution which was adopted:
Whereas, in times of deflation, weak
parts of our industrial arrangement
are brought to light, among these
shown at this time is your present
system of state inspection of form
products. We respectfully request
our state government make altera-
tions so that state inspectors are made
responsible in case of loss through
their negligence.

SENATOR WOLCOTT
GIVES DESCR|PT TON
OF PEACE TREATY
He Tells League of Nations Pur-
poses and Answers Objec-
tons to Covenant.
MAKES ADDRESS TO
NEW CENTURY CLUB

Speaking at the headquarters of the
New Century Club, under the auspices
OF the educational committee, last night,
United States Senator Josiah O. Wolcott
told the purposes of the League of Nations
and answered objections to the covenant
Mrs A. IL Berlin introduced him to the
audience. which greatly appreciated his
address and applauded many of his
utterances.
Senator Wolcott spoke interestingly
for an hour and half.
He said Is States not In the league have
been invited TO join, and if they accept
the invitation IS States viii be in the
league.
Senator Wolcott thought the United
States would be put in a dangerous posi-
ton by rejecting the covenant: should
the United States again engage In war,
the conflict would be more destructive
than the war recently ended.
He said those who don't support the
coyenant believe it wont prevent war.
He eoncurred in that opinion, but stated
the league will try to prevent great con-
ficts. 1t does not guarantee there will
never be war again, but it viii minimize
conflicts, and that is a praiseworthy
purpose.
Senator Wolcott depicted horrors Of
the recent war and predicted that science
would add TO mischieyous propensities
should there be another great war
He said the league aims at two things
to cause nations about to rush into war to
pause and let other nations investigate
the controversy, or to submit to arbitra-
ton. The council of the league conducts
the inquiry War must be deferred until
of hn 10
or three months after arbitration. The
council, composed of nine nations, is an
influential body All other nations that
are members of the league have represen-
tatives in the assembly II would be
foolish for any man to vote for war
unless he was sure public sentiment
upheld him. If the council opposed war,
no nations that are members of the
league could engage in conflict without
disobeying the council.
