STATE ASSOCIATION OF FARMERS' CLUBS 433 



"As the farmers, being the consumers, pay a large proportion of the revenue 

 under the present protective system, we recommend such a tariff as will be to their 

 benefit by stopping the unlawful importation of products, especially the classifica- 

 tion, sorting and mixing of foreign w^ool. 



"We recommend the establishment of postal savinf^s banks. 



"We believe that the time for general free rural mail delivery has come, and urge 

 immediate action. 



"We recommend that Congressman-elect Roberts of Utah be not allowed to take 

 his seat in Congress. 



"We condemn the action of the express companies in disloyally refusing to pay 

 their part of the war burden, and indorse the opinion of our supreme court on this 

 question. 



"In view of the deplorable fact that our national income is not sufficient to meet 

 the expenses of the government, w^e recommend that congress provide the way for 

 the enactment of an income tax, and duly enact the same. 



GENERAL RESOLUTIONS. 



"Resolved, That the canteen system as it existed during our la be war was a 

 reproach to our civilization, and that it is the duty of all good citizens to labor that 

 this great iniquity shall be removed. 



"Resolved, That we decidedly oppose the repeal of any portion of the law requir- 

 ing the closing of saloons on legal holidays."

 committee of one to assist in the formation of new clubs, who shall furnish con- 

 stitution and by-laws for the same. 



2. That each county having a county organization appoint a committee of three 

 from ditfereut parts of the county to see that clubs are organizel in the unorganized 

 territory. 



3. That programs and reports of club meetings be furnished to local papers for 

 publication, and efforts be made to interest the local press in club work extension. 



4. That there be no paid organizers in the interests of club extension. 



5. That the Association Secretary furnish blank constitution and by-laws, and 

 also a circular letter setting forth the benefits of organization, to all parties desir-
