I sickens, business is affected at the

"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

chants convention to lie held In Kose

that there will bo a large sized dele

vention. 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

are greatly Interested in the conven

Oregon has had little part In the
conventions but on this occasion a
big nhowliig Is expected.

and Ashland and will also probably
visit some of the smaller cities and
towns. It Is hoped that large delega
