profit v'.jtor )iy the uvutleiiien from
Wiisiijii'.'teu .Mini Oregon, but was not •
especially favored liy the eastern del- i
elates, and only one or two from tho
! liddle west seemed inclined to re
ceive it very cordially. Probably a
resolution favoring tbe initiative and
r« fiTentltni. aloiw woulti '.rive been I
udopwd, but this one never. The mat- 1 ■
(er was linally referred to the several
ft:ite for their action, as tho
delegates did not care to take posi
ti,.,i on it without instructions from i
tiieir various states. Several of thens
expressed their personal views on the
question, iiui refused to allow tliein
si'lves to be governed, by those views |
tolely.
While v]ucsrions of this nature may j
p; iporly come before the national
trrrage, it stems to the looker on Uiat .
Hie".' Is a tendency to deal With (jues- |
tlor.s that, are really without the prov- i
ince of the granpe or are at least not ;
jiavtlcularly apropos. I refer part leu- !
larly to the resolutions introduced by
the delegate from Wst Virginia re- ■
stri. tiny: the amount of laud which any ,
niaa may own or lease and another ad
ling a progressive tux on all for
tunes above a lixed maximum, either
ni\eu away in life or bequeathed in
death, and. strange as it may seem, ;
both of these resolutions prevailed.
I :uu of the opinion that the closer
national and state granges con line
lis i iselves f> sifeh legislation as most
dirc-tly bears upon the interests of
th" farmer the better will our Order ful
fill is mission to the farmer. Further- j
mor.', there is not that general discus
sion of resolutions offered In these,
jr.-aage meetings that should be for
the highest interest. As all who are j
familiar with tii" workings of the state .
ai:d natlo!i::l gran.res know, resolutions
sin referred at once to tho appropriate ,
committee without discussion. Com-!
mlttcos after due eotisideratlon present

rial iheir report is acted upon by the I
