B f TIER COOPERATION BE-
TWEEN STATES NEEDED

After 145 years of too rugged in
dividualism," the states of the Union
at last appear to have found way to
cooperate on state problems. The
Council of State Governments, just
set up in Washington, appears to be
the answer.
When the council holds its first
formal meeting in Washington Jan.
1S, it will launch new unofficial
development in American Govern
ment. Gov. John G. Winant of New
Hampshire, president of the coun-
Gil, will call to order state officials,
and others concerned with improved
government, for the frs. interstate
meeting of its kind. Taxation, the
most urgent problem of all state
governments at the moment, will be
the topic for discussion.
This meeting and others to fol-
low are designed to bring about
greater harmony among the states
which until now have usually acted
as 48 independent and sovereign
units with little concern over the
Inconvenience and waste such a
course involved.

MERIT SYSTEM SUPPORTED

Washington, d. c., January 10
The National Federation of Federal
Employees last night placed before
President Roosevelt, members of the
House and Senate civil service COM
mittees, and other high officials
here tangible evidence of the over
whelming sentiment of newspapers
throughout the country in behalf of
the merit system as opposed to the
spoils plan Of appointment to the
Federal service, now so largely en-
ployed.
The evidence is contained in
thirty-two page pamphlet just issued
by the National Federation in which
is contained a cross-section of edi-
torial comment from newspapers in
all sections of the United States and
representing every shade of political
opinion.
These editorials all are based ON
facts, statistics, and arguments pre-
sented by the National Federation in
it's continuing campaign to extend
and strengthen the merit system and
to save the civil service from destruc-
ton a. the hands of spoilsmen. They
reveal, an analysis of the pamphlet
shows, that editors throughout the
Nation are aroused in almost unani-
nous opposition to the patronage
system under which tens of thou
sands of positions in the Federal SER
vice have been dispensed, and
against the long succession of legis-
lative and administrative attacks
upon the structure of the civil
service.

DEATH ON WHEELS"

Take a look at any of the used
car lots in your town. The chances
are that you'll see dozens of bar
gain automobiles, offered for sale
for 10, 20 or SO dollars. They'll
run, after a fashion. If they break
down, after a few thousand miles,
you can leave them by the roadside
and suffer little loss.
Unhappily, these bargain" cars
may be the most expensive you can
buy-both for yourself and others.
For the most part, they have infer
ior, worn-out brakes and Inadequate
lights. The steering mechanism is
shaky. Tires are smooth-made to
order for skidding on wet or icy
pavement.
Every year cars of this type cause
thousands of accidents. They are
responsible for high percentage of
the injuries and deaths resulting
from motor mishaps They literally
earn the title of Death on wheels"
and other motorists, as we'll as the
drivers of the faulty vehicles, are the
helpless victims.
The rise in the automobile acct
dent rate which occurred in 1884
caused several states and cities to
adopt mechanical safety campaigns,
during which cars were given volun-
tary, free tests for lights, brakes,
steering, etc. About half of the cars
examined were found to be danger

BOOKKEEPING ON THE FARM

Most urban residents probably
still think of the American farmer as
an easy-going fellow, with little
knowledge of or interest in business
practices and methods, who lives
from the land and doesn't involve
himself in financial statements or
bookkeeping systems.
That picture is rapidly losing
verisimilitude. The Farm Credit
Administration recently announced
that over a million farmers, during
the past year and half, turned in
complet financial statements when
applying for loans. And, according
to the Dairymen's League News, at
least a million more farmers kept
such records for other reasons. Bust
ness methods are as much a part OF
the operation of modern farm as of
a factory.
This is representative of great
evolutionary period in agricultural
history, which began ten or fifteen
years ago and is gathering mo-
mentum still. The up-to-date farm
er realizes that economics, finance,
monetary problems, tariff legislation
and similar matters exert vital in
fiuence on his own personal affairs.
He is studying and learning, and he
is keeping books. Where his father
may have gone for years without
knowing whether he was making
money or losing it, he knows precise
ly how his farm is going.
The influence of cooperative asso-
Citations has been particularly potent
in developing farm management
along these lines. The co-ops, by
bringing specialized knowledge and
sound methods to the administra-
tion Of farm problems, have made
great progress-and individual farm
ers are following The lead.

FARM HOUSING, FARM POPULA-
TION, AND FARM LABOR

The whole farm structure Is un
dergoing a marked change or read
justment due to social and economic
conditions. The Government, in at
tempting to lead the way to a more
healthy economic balance, requires
information on available rural hous-
ing. the recent migration of city folk
to farms, and the number of persons
living on farms, together with the
extent and nature of their employ
ment. The Farm Census, being
taken beginning January 2, 1895,
seeks to learn more about these
questions along with It's enumera-
ton of the uses of farm land, the
acreage and production of individual
crops, and the numbers of each OF
the various classes of livestock.
In order to procure complete
and accurate census which will re-
fleet the present as well as changed
conditions it is of the utmost import
ance that the farmers give this
enumeration their most serious at
tention. The returns from this CEN
sus will be the primary basis of farm
statistics for the next five years.
1t is believed that during the past
five years there has been an appreci-
able shift of population from urban
to rural communities, much OF
which was to farm. Some of this
shift represents whole families NOV
ing to arms, while another part rep
resents sons or daughters returning
to the farm homes of their parents.
Inquiries carried on the farm sched-
ule, which will give the number by
areas of farm dwellings divided be-
tween those occupied and those un-
occupied, are of particular interest to
locate available housing.
That part of the city or non-farm
population which moved to farms
during the last five years and is still
residing on farms will be accurately.
counted. At the present time the
available data are insufficient to de-
scribe this movement fully.
Closely associated with the num-
Der of persons living on farms will
be those employed on the same farm
on which they are living. Thus, the
farm operator will be asked to report
separate figures for members of his
family doing farm work on his farm
without wages and for the number
of persons, including members of his
family, working on his farm for
wages.
All farmers and ranchers are urg-
ed TO write to the Bureau of the Cen
sus, Washington, D. c., for sample
copy of the farm schedule, in order
that they may familiarize themselves
with the questions and have accurate
information ready for the enumera-
tors who will visit their homes in
January.
