Farm Bureau Membership
Camnaign.

An intensive statewide member
ship drive for farm bureau members
was started in Wisconsin two weeks
ago and in spite of the fact that this
is busy time for farmers a great
deal of interest is being taken in
what is generally conceded to be the
greatest organized farmers move
ment ever launched.
A representative of the Wisconsin
Farm Bureau Federation has been
in Iowa county for several days and
he reports that plans are rapidly TAX
ing shape for a countrywide mem
bership campaign and it is altOgeth-
er likely that the remaining town
ships will be ready within the next
week or ten days.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton has we'll over a million men,
bers in forty-siX states and it is
welding a tremendous influence in
marketing and legislative affairs. 1t
is not a political organization, but it
proposes to make the farmers view
point understood in congress and
the state legislatures. 1t is also
working to develop a more
orderly system of marketing
farm products and much has
already been accomplished in build
ing a marketing organization for
each important farm product includ-
ing grain, live stock, dairy products,
fruit, vegetables, cotton and wool. A
committee of fifteen men is now at
work with headquarters at Chicago
investigating live stock marketing
conditions for the purpose of nnding
whether or not it is possible to stab
alize.
1t is not generally known, but it
is neverthe less true that the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation was
responsible for the repeal of the Ma
tional Daylight Saving Law, the
conducting OF nationwide referen-
dom on the Ralston-Nolan sales tax
causing it to be pigeon-holed and the
| reduction of railway valuation ST.
100, 100000 for the purposes of COM
putating saving to each and every
farmer in the United States of $50.
The farm bureau is essentially a
township organization upon which is
| built the county and state organiZa-
ton of farmers, for farmers and by
farmers and is growing by leaps and
bounds every day. Every Iowa
county farmer is asked to become a
member of this farm bureau and is
requested to attend any township
or county meetings that may be
scheduled.

$1,000 Appropriation.

Platteville News: The bill granting
$4,000 for the improvement of the
old capitol, at Leslie has passed.
This is the first building used as a
Capitol in the territory of Wisconsin.
The building which was used as a
barn for a number of years has
already been placed on a foundation,
on a plot of ground at Leslie. M. P.
Rindlaub has been working on the
project for some time. 1t is due
largely to his efforts that the appro-
priation has been made.

Railroad Earnings
For November Are
Less Satisfactory
Returns Fail to Come Up
to October on Basis of
What They Should Be
Under New Legislation

Considered from the standpoint q
What they should earn under the new
rates, the railroads in November made
much worse showing than in October.
according to reports tiled to date with
INC Interstate Commerce Commission.
WITH more tnaE 100 Glass roads
reporting, covering approximately two
thlrcs of the country's mileage, net 90
Grating income Tor November amounted
to S35, 100000. All the carriers in thai
month should earn s99, ,598, 900 to show
their full quota of the per cent re-
turn on their property investment. On
the basis of the actual earnings Of tn
reporting roads, al. those in the Class
group will fall short Of this total bv
about $4,000, 900.
Lhe figures compiled for October res
veaied that the carriers fell approx
mately 0,000,0 900 short OF the arloun-
needed to meeo the 6 per cent return.
The November returns, however. are
better than Tor the corresponding
month OF 1918, when net operating in
come amounted Ia only $22 900 900.
he failure % the railroads under the
new rate structure to come up to the
level Of earnings provided for by the
Escn- Cummins act is due partly to the
falling off IN traffic as a result of the
slowing up in industry, and also to the
TACT that the character of traffic was of
