Show I THE RICH COUNTY NEWS, RANDOLPH, UTAH that involve a real saving to consumer and producer, has to do with the marfrom keting of hides, a which almost every farmer can derive profit If he will give It proper attention. Knowledge. of Grades Needed. The first need In the present situation Is a familiarity on the part of the twQ sheriffs and the other minor office producer of country hides with the ' holders. recognized grades and classes of hides Whether the national womans party and skins. Such an understanding will new Is to be discontinued or take up enable him to prepare and dispose of work will be decided by a convention his products much more Intelligently to meet in Washington on February the saving which this simpler method makes possible. At the same time a lowering of prices for the final product will be the tendency, since distribution costs will be less. The use of a local dealer as Intermediary between the producer and the large hide dealer In some cases Is advisable, slnfce he Is in a position to do needed sort; ing and classifying, Either of these simpler methods suggested for the producer of country hides selling direct to the large dealer or through a local dealer approaches more nearly the packers methods now prevailing. Obstacles to Overcome. Such ' consignment marketing, however, presupposes mutual confidence and fair dealing by both producer and dealer and, unfortunately, this does not always exist Another obstacle to the establishment of this method Is the producers preference few ready cash.. Many producers prefer to accept any price obtainable from local buyers, such as general stores, produce deal-- ' ers, junk collectors and traveling hide buyers rather than consign their products to distant car-ldealers In central markets. The place that traveling buyers or agents occupy in an Improved system of distribution Is a matter on which one can be less specific, since opinions of the trade differ as to the practicability of traveling hide buyers or agents or large hide dealers. Already country producers of hides are coming to see the saving that results from the simpler system briefly indicated here and are making contracts with large dealers In whom they have confidence and who in turn see that it is the part of good business to respect and foster this confidence. Farmers and others interested In puts ting this Important side line on a more profitable basis are Invited to communicate with the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, which will supply them with full lnformatifc regarding the best methods of marketing hides, as well as instructions for proper skinning and 15 to 19. curing. THE ELECTORAL VOTE FOR PRESIDENT WAY TO MARKET The following is the electoral vote by states: COUNTRY HIDES Under Unnecessary Handicap Due to Roundabout Distribution Methods. Producer NEXT SENATE AND HOUSE WILL HAVE SUBSTANTIAL REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES. , Harding Will Receive 404 Electoral Votes and Governor Cox 127 Speculation as to New Members of Cabinet President-elec- t STUDY ' Washington. The first reports of the election of November 2, hailed by enthusiastic Republicans as one of the greatest landslides in the history of American politics, seems not be have been exaggerated, as the returns have borne out the claims of the victors. President-elec- t Harding will have 404 electoral votes, while Governor Cox will receive but 127 votes. The successful candidate for president will fake office with the knowledge that both the senate and house will have substantial Republican working majorities. In the senate the Republicans will have 59 members and the Democrats 37, as a result of the landslide for Republicanism.' The house membership will be 295 Democrats, one Republicans, 136 Socialist, one Independent, one nt-Prohibitionist and one Independent Republican. While speculation Is rife as to who will be selected as members of President-elect Hardings cabinet, Senator Harding has announced that he will immediately take a much needed vacation, and will take up the matter of selection of cabinet members upon his return. In fact. Senator Harding began his vacation tour on Saturday, when crowds rivaling those of campaign days greeted him as he began his Journey sduthwestward for an outing on the Texas coast At more thaa a dozen cities along the way in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, his private car was besieged by ing men, women and children, clamoring for a speech or a chance to shake hands. With the Republican majority in the next house estimated at 160, It Is apparent that there will not be enough seats to accommodate the Republican members on one side of the chamber, and there will be an overflow of Republicans to the opposite side. The same thing is true in the senate, and Republican senators will have to take seats among the Democrats in that Independe- body. In the congress the situathat which will exist in the congress. Then the Democrats, with the total membership the same as now, 435, had the largest majority on record, 163. The Democrats swarmed to the Republican side and formed a group which flanked the Republicans on either side. The overflow became known as the Cherokee strip. It is proposed that the Democrats in the next session will occupy that part of the house they now hold, but shall be moved nearer the; center so as to give the excess Republicans room at tneir left. In other words, one side will be given over entirely to the Republicans, with the Democrats in the center and the Republicans to the extreme Sixty-thir- d tion was the same as 'Sixty-sevent- huge: h plurality in next house. of the next Chicago.

Improvement In methods can only come from careful ptudy of the routes followed by each kind or class of commodity In Its long, long trail" from producer to consumer. This fact is recognized by every student of present economic processes and likewise has been taken into account In the studies of marketing problems carried on by the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture. One of these specific problems which the departments specialists have studied and regarding which they offer definite recommendations left.

Republican leaders of congress are of the opinion that despite the adoption of a referendum favoring cash men by New bonuses to York, New Jersey and Wisconsin, the next congress on the ground of economy will refuse to grant them through federal legislation. The Issue will be brought Immediately before the next session by Representative Johnson of South Dakota and Swope of Kentucky.

The tariff bill that will be passed by the Incoming Republican congress promisee to be the most drastic pro- tective measure that has ever appeared upon the federal statute books, according to Republican senators and representatives now In Washington. It will be ready for signature by President Harding early next summer, it was predicted. The income from the tariff under the Payne-Aldricbill was $326,561,-68- 3 in 1910, $309,965,692 in 1911, $304, 987,366 in 1912 and $312,509,946 in 1913, Under the Underwood bill the Income was $221,659,066 In 1917, in 1918 and $237,456,680 in h $231,-325,1- 1919.
