First IVA Coop

PatrOn-Owned Firm Has Already Made
 $1OO,OOO
]. BY NULL ADAMS

NEA Service Special Correspondent
 Corinth, Miss, Feb. 25.--In no other community did the U. s. su- prene court decision allowing IVA to sell surplus power cause greater jubilation than in the area sur- rounding this small city.
 For 1t meant that the first cus- tomer-owned electric company in the valley can go without. fear into its 20th month of successful opera ton. ~.
 There are several cooperative as- sociations organized under the auspices of TVAJto buy and distrib- ute power to members of the asso- citations. But that in Alcorn county around Corinth was the first. It has 2l00 customer r-owners today.
 Tn June, 1884, at suggestion of David D. Lilienthal, power director for IVA, citizens of Alcorn county got together and organized the Al- corn County Electric Power Asso- ciation.
 Through IVA. they bought the Corinth distribution system of the Mississippi Power Go. It cost $l14,- 632.0O. They spent another 43,520,06 for equipment, and built 85 miles of rural electric lines for $117,27706. Thus, the association invested $235,- 42e.72. It contracted to buy its power wholesale from IVA.

STEWARD ASKS
MERIT PLANK
ADOPTION
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

Action on several Federal EN-
ploye fronts broke out today In
connection with events now stir
=: g workers.
Heading the list was a move
of the veteran leader Luther c.
Steward, president Of the National
Federation Of Employees, who an
nounced that both Democratic
and Republican parties will be
urged at the forthcoming national
conventions to remember the
merit system.
Mr.. Steward, who recently ap-
preached the Senate on the pros
pect of remembering the Logan
bill, most logical Of the merit
documents, said he will demand
that both parties insert a strong
merit plank in their platforms.
While Mr.. Steward did not say so.
some authorities point out the
Democrats failed to do so in their
last convention. The NFF.E.
leader, however, said:
such action is an essential
step in the campaign to bring
about fundamental reform Of
conditions under which thou
sands of positions are thrown
open to patronage uses with
each change In the political COM
plexiOn of the national admin
istration. We have every reason
to believe thai the conventions
will not overlook the OppOr-
tunity to making clear state
.mentS on the civil service, and
of affirming the allegiance Of
the parties to the principle Of
merit.
"The important responsibility
will lie in the execution Of the
platform pIdge."
Revolution
In the meantime, it was re-
vealed that the AAA lodge OF
the American Federation of Gov.
ernment Employees has followed
the line of least resistance. Joined
what formerly was the radical
element in the organization. and
rebelled against President Claude
Babcock.
The lodge has censured Mr..
Babcock for the pamphlet he
wrote for the Republican Ma.
tional Committee. which attacked
the Democratic scorn Of the
merit system during the current
administration. It says it can
not and does not condone any
such action as has been exhibited
by the national president" de.
spite the fact that Mr.. Babcock
wrote the pamphlet entirely as a
private citizen. Although he was
identified through his A. F. G. E.
title in press comment on the
booklet, the little publication
termed him merely a former
Secretary of the Civil Service
Commission"
Nevertheless the lodge has
sent a resolution to the White
House, Secretary Wallace of Agri-
culture. both political national
committees and to the A. F. G.
E. national office, declaring its
vigorous disapproval.
Further trouble is said to be
brewing with A. F. G. E. ranks,
but mum has been the word so
far.

Bank Robbers Get
Away With $4,000

Dillon county officers in South
Carolina and a fingerprint expert
from Columbia began an intensive
search Saturday night for clues to
the robbers who burned their way to
more than $4,000 in the depository
of Lake View early Saturday morn
ing.
]. H. Stanley, cashier of the bank,
said efforts to preserve possible fin
gerprints had prevented any attempt
to ascertain the exact amount of the
loot, which was insured, but that
approximately $500 had been taken
from the safe and $11,050 from one
of rs rifled safety deposit boxes.
Stanley said the robbers entered
through a rear window, opened a
back door from inside, and used a
blow torch on the outer vault, inner
vault and steel safe within.

1887 Forecast
Is Favorable
Chief of Bureau of Agricultural
Economics Makes Report to
Secretary Wallace at Capital

A forecast of a favorable year for
farmers in 1887 was completed by
federal economists in Washington
this week with a warning tina" there
are fundamental weaknesses in the
position of agriculture that will re-
quire vigor-and action"
A. G. Black, chief of the bureau of
agricultural economics. presented
these views to Secretary Wallace in
an annual report which said drought
and increases in farm prices and in
come were outstanding factors in the
farm situation this year.
Despite the drought, Black said,
cash income of farmers will mount
to 81, $50, 900, 900 this year, the fourth
consecutive annual advance from the
1882 low of $4,328, 100000. He figur-
ed this would be a gain of IL per
cent over last year and 81 per cent
above 1882.
However, the dry weather was
said to have cleft scars that will re-
quire time, careful planning, and
much labor to erase"
Black warned that the nation has
an agricultural system which, in
years of average weather, ''can pro-
duce considerably in excess of exist
ing market demands, even allowing
for considerable advance in domestic
demand" He calls this major prob
lem.
He predicted continued recovery
of foreign markets would be a slow
process, and said needs in this coun-
try could not assure an ample mar
ket and satisfactory prices for all
that American farmers can produce"
AS solution, Black said, govern
ments, federal and state, should be
prepared to take whatever steps are
necessary"
