WANT TO KNOW why
men DO NOT VOTE

!. Chicago, Dec. 1-(By A. P.)-Why
men do not vote, what's wrong with
the ballot and how politics handles
electoral machinery these are some
of the problems that women voters
have set to look into here December
to 8. At this time the National
League of Women Voters will hold it's
first institute on efficiency in govern
ment in Chicago.
"Its purpose" explains Miss Belle
Sherwin of Cleveland, who is in
charge, lis an expansion of the polit-
ical education of women begun in our
citizenship schools. We started with
a study of government, the constitu-
ton and the laws, and are going for
ward to consider much more careful
ly what political parties are doing
with the institutions we are studying.
''If the league is university for
adult political education, I might say
it's citizenship schools present the
freshmen course and this institute is
a second years course"
The program of the league is to
study government as it is. govern
ment as it should be to get the par
ticipation of more people in it and
more efficient administration, Miss
Sherwin added.
"It has before it, she said, two
questions what will make govern
ment more truly representative and
what will make it's operations more
efficient in political units of every
size?
'1This institute will cover only the
first question 1t will devote itself
therefore to study of the whole vot-
ing system
1--WE are not planning debate, but
a school with one speaker at each /
session"

BOLSTER Credit BY
HOLDING GROWERS Cash

Charges that eastern fruit COM
mission men are holding cash be-
longing to Idaho growers to ease fl
nancial conditions there, were made
Monday by Miles Cannon, state COM
missioner of agriculture, in connec-
tion with an appeal from George
Myers, Middleton fruit grower, who
has been unable to recover on some
of his fruit and has asked the COM
missioner to help him get his money.
says The Statesman.
Myers says in his letter to the state
official that two cars of prunes and
100 boxes of apples, shipped Septem-
ber 25, have not been accounted for
by Welch and Welch, the Chicago
commission men to whom the fruit
was consigned
Commission Deducted
Myers also has asked Mr.. Cannon
to find out on what basis his other
cars of fruit were sold. An incom-
plete accounting has been made on
five other cars of prunes shipped and
on each of the bills there has been
deducted 10 per cent for commission
"This indicates" says Mr. Cannon,
''that the cars were sold at auctions
as that is the usual percentage for
such sales but there are no acution
furnished"
Mr. Cannon wired the company in
several days ago and after
what he considered suffi-
cient length of time to get reply,
turned the matter over to Robert c.
Burtner, United States supervising in
spector at Chicago and gave the facts
% The Statesman for publication.
All Of Mr.. Myers cars Of prunes
we're shipped prior to September rs
md along with other evidence he sub
nitted to the commissioner he
brought a letter from Mr.. Vandenburg
lated November IL, in which the rep
esentative made the first installment
payment on the shipments.
Other Instances Reported
This is not the only instance of
uch actions toward the Idaho grow
rs said Mr.. Cannon.
Those commission houses appear
0 have no regard for state regula-
ions and what to carry on their bust
less in their own way by getting the
ruit, or other produce, selling it and
.eeping the money just as long as
hey possibly can, thus depriving the
rowers and the country producing
he produce, Of the money accruing
rom it's own resources for long
ime when it should be remitted
and deposited in our banks
