So striking is this that one writer has said: 'Agriculture and business ate Piauieso twins, when agriculture I sickens, business is affected at the bbiiio time.' "The trouble with business in America Is that the farmer has lost bis purchasing power. Uuslness feels the effect. "This Is not speculation on our part. I advise everybody to get the report of the joint commission on agriculture, of which Congressman oiuuey Auams is cnairman. The facts collected at great expense by this commission prove this to be true. "The farm bureau Idea is not to stir up trouble in society, but simply to do all for the farmer we can with out harming any other legitimate business or Industry. "We believe that we should capi talize the selling power of the farm er, his buying power, and his influ ence in order that he may receive. In competition with other organized business, fair and just treatment. We ask nothing more. We believe in education. In the public school sys tem, we stand for 100 per cent Amer icanism. We stand firmly and earn estly for the principle that we have ! the right to legislate against, and protect our state and country from alien land ownership and all hazards. We believe In affording the boy who lives In the country on the form the same educational advantages that the boy In the city gets. The average rural teacher gets" $179 as against an average of $854 for the city teacher. In the city the teacher only handles one grade. In the country the teacher handles eight grades. Most city teachers have college or normal school training or both, but more than half the rural teachers have not completed the high school course. The average days of Instruc tion is less in the country. The aver age expenditure per child in the rural school Is $23.91: the average in the city school is $40.59, giving the city nearly $2 for every one expended in the country. This runs through our whole educational system and a full discussion of the subject Is Impos sible here. I refer you to the report of the U. S. commissioner of educa tion. "Personally I favor uniting all of the schools of the country for high school purposes Into one big union high school, giving a Junior college course and vocational training under the Smith-Hughes act, something practical to fit the boys and girls for everyday life. I favor the system adopted in other states which makes a sufficient allowance to the rural school pupil to enable him to attend the union high school, obtain board and lodging, in other words, put him on an equality with the boy residing near the school. I favor consolidat ing the grade schools in the county so that wo can have large schools modern in every respect, taught by LATE NEWS FLASHES 1809 LINCOLN 1865 I I MiVWMaWMlSaSaMBHMHaBMnMMMMWMBMOTWWSHHMMiMBMMHBMMMSSlHPH Let us ha-Je 7 A faith that right V es might, ftch i'U andinthatfaith VM.V l If M let us dare to do feb4QJV IC'M our dutp as e V rh r ; understand it. 1 V y?w Jf'y j Abraham Ijncoln fVV"' --' 'J hr J Jl j ' !- S n NO SOLUTION IN I TAVL0R MURDER CASE SOUTHERN OREGON WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED AT CONVENTION OF MERCHANTS Medford Merchants Association Adopts Resolution Approving Convention and Large Delegation rrom That Vicinity Expected Committees Leave Monday.

Medford merchants do not have a separato organization as in Itoseburg, but instead are associated with the chamber of commerce. The fact that they have adopted resolu tions of endorsement, prove that they are greatly Interested in the conven tion and doubtless will be well repre sented.

All Indications point to a very suc cessful meeting here and an enjoy able as well as Instructive program bus been worked out. The program committee has secured some excellent speakers and topics chosen are along lines of greatest Interest to- mer chants. 8onie of the leading credit men of the coast will address tho meeting and there Is no doubt but thnt the merchants will receive some ery instructive data.
