Sioux Falls, S. D.-(A. PA fea-
ture Of the county proposal meetings
held today was the successful effort
made in several counties to form a
coalition of the democratic and farm
er-labor parties under the William G
McAdoo-for president banner.
Reports available early tonight in
dicated that such moves had been
made in Lincoln and Mood counties
and one with partial success in Min
ehaha county.
lin Codington county, one of the
larger counties of the state, the dem
ocrats and the farmer-labor conven-
tions indorsed the state minority
ticket headed by Henry Ford for
president This was the only county
reporting tonight in which such ac-
ton was taken.
Minnehaha county republicans
unanimously approved the indorse-
ment Of President Coolidge for the
presidential nomination. Beadle coun-
ty republicans refused to indorse the
majority state ticket and named a
ticket.
The county proposal meetings to-
day were held to indprse county and
state legislative tickets and ratify

u. ENROLMENT
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
GROWTH OF 631 IN THREE YEARS
UNDER ADMINISTRATIONS OF
PRESIDENT UPIAM

Increase of 631 in the total uni
versity enrolment in the last three
years is revealed by the annual holi
day check-up on enrolment, just
made by the registrars office.
Enrolment is now 1880, being the
total since the beginning Of summer
school, last June. The correspond
ing figure for the year 1920 was 1899
Total enrolment for all of last year
was 1876, being only 6 in excess OF
the pre-Christmas enrolment this
year. AS students continue to enter
the institution during the second Sc
mester, university officials forecast
a total enrolment of at least 1900
for the current university year. They
base this estimate on the fact that 16S
new students entered the institution
after the December check-up last
year.
Present enrolment is almost triple
the enrolment six years ago, being
for 1917-191S, which was 592. If this
years enrolment reaches 1900, as
predicted, the enrolment will have
more than trebled in size, being 800
per cent of the total for six years
ago.
December II, 1920, the date on
which the figures for that year were
checked up, was just Is days after
Dr.. A. H. Upham arrived On the camp
is as president of the institution
Figures for successive years were
for December IL and De
ember 16, while this years check-up
vas made December Is. Mid-Decem-
,er enrollments were: in 1920, 1899;
921, 1892; 1922, 1868; 1928, 1870. Of
resent enrolment, 1903 students are
esident in college courses; 81 non
esident; So in special courses "a in !
lacement training for the United /
tates Veterans Bureau; and 214
yere in summer school.

STATE DEPT. HEADS

BILLS TO RELIEVE
FARM CONDITIONS
TWO MEASURES UP TO CONGRESS-
5O,000,00O FUND TO PRO-
MOTE DIVERSIFICATION

Washington-Two pieces of farm
relief legislation will be before cong
ress for consideration by the agricul-
tural committees of the two houses
after the holiday recess.
One is the Coulter plan which pro.
vides for a program of agricultural
diversification to be financed by the
government through a revolving fund
of $50,0O0,000 to be appropriated by
congress. This plan is incorporated
in a bill introduced Jointly in senate
and house by Senator Norbeck OF
South Dakota and Representative
Burtness Of North Dakota.
The other plan is one intended to
help the wheat growers alone and
was brought to Washington recent
" by George G. Jewett of Mime
apolis and Portland, general manager
of the American Wheat Growers as
sociation, Incorporated, This plan is
now being drafted In a bill to be in
troduced In the senate by Senator
McNary Of Oregon, chairman of the
senate subcommittee on agricultural
1t provides for levy
ing a tax on all wheat moving to
lkldA hOt LII Ahy pau VI luG OAltC0
States, the fund so created to be used
in paying premium of probably 80
cents bushel on all wheat exported.
Such a process it is declared, would
raise the domestic price level to the
world price plus the premium, and
20 put it in effect would cost the
grower abou 3 to Z cents on every
oushel produced. This plan also calls
or a revolving fund appropriation of
near $50,000,000.
The two plans conflict in no way
except as to the difficulty of OBJ
aiming appropriations from congress
% meet the demands of both meas
Tres. The Coulter scheme perhaps
lolds the more advantageous position
because it iseems to enjoy admins
ration favor on account of its pur-
,ose to bring about diversification in
hose sections where farmers are too
trongly committed to single crop
s in the spring wheat belt of Min
Lesota and the Dakotas and in such
ther wheat growing areas as the
'alouse and Umatilla valleys of the
'acific northwest.

IDAHO STATE TAXES LOW
EST IN PAST FIVE YEARS

BOise-IdahO's state tax is lower
this year than it has been for the
past five years, according to a COM
parative statement issued by E. G..
Gallet, state auditor.
The auditors figures show that
from the 7.S3 mills. 1888 on each
$1,000 valuation, levied in 1919, the
state tax has dropped to ATT mills, or
$4.77 on each $1,000 valuation, in
1928. A comparison of the tax lev
led for each of the five years shows:

Survival of the Nimblest.

When one speaks of Darwin's sur
Vival Of the fitteSt" nowadays one
means the evolution of the race from
carelesSness in getting run down by
motor cars TO carefulness in lodging
bumpers. or at least care in selecting
good cars to be struck by. A lot can
be done 10 hasten this process--and
safety campaigns are doing it-but II
any one thinks that conditions are
getting worse now is the time to tie
a rock to that notion and sink it.
Viewing the subject from the stand
point of evolution. it is evident that
as the careless folks get MANNED or
eliminated. those who remain will be
naturally, careful. Their children and
their children'S children Will inherit
the same traits Just as the teeth of
the modern man are more ornamental
than useful because the cereal COM
panies do the chewing for him. so
Will the race of tomorrow be f1eeter
of foot as mere matter of evolution.
One can stand on any street corner
and find a certain percentage of peo-
pie risking their lives unnecessarily.
These are the folks who get their
names in the accident reports. Some
times it is timid. aged person who
cuts diagonally across the intersec-
ton, disregarding all sane rules of
traffic regulation and safety. Some
times it is high spirited youth who
fQrgets that keeping his mind on traf-
fic is of greatest Importance in keep
ing the important engagement that
urged him to hasten. 1t may be SIM
ply the person who foolishly believes
that the motoriSt will watch out, for
him. or the chap who takes chances
on crossing where he ought not to.
These folks will not be with US
long. Those who are left will natur-
ally pass along to the younger, gen

his old car as trade-in for a new
one.
Here's another angle: In some cities
they are trying out what Is known
as the associate dealer proposition.
A successful dealer appoints several
other local dealers. garage men or
special representatives as associate
or metropolitan" dealers. The idea
will spread like wildfire this year be-
cause 1T means greatly charging the
selling force and getting q lot OF
people boosting one car. But there
are a lot of bitches to the plan and
the motorist should watch out for
the variation in allowances on his
used car.
Where the associate dealer plan Is
worked intelligently the dealers agree
not to allow more than a certain
amount for cars and keep each other
informed of the progress of a sale.
so as to discourage the car owner
from shopping from one place to an
other in the hope Of getting a better
deal Where there is no system 1t
is found that the various dealers are
already cutting their own heads OH
in the rush to outbid each other. A
motorist who has his mind set on a
certain make of car goes from one
associate dealer to another until he
finds one who will give him the best
price for his old car. The chances
are ten to one that the dealer who
