"WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 19U LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, PAGE SEVEN COMMISSION WIS SUM 'Continued from Page Three.) ties but if their credit facilities were improved it is reasonable to suppose that the strength ' of ' such societies would be thereby increased. .When thorough business co-operation is established in a farming com munity and the co-operative principle is accepted, it is almost certain that the farmers will fall into the habit of co-operating upon general social and civil lines. I believe chambers of agri culture organized in the country dis tricts would be found of great value. ' Till of this organization work in European countries has been carried on through' voluntary organizations.' In some instances the governments for .their own ends have attempted to control the movement, but the results oft such control have not generally been regarded as satisfactory. A close study of the subject will show that the entire plan is based upon the idea of self help and public nursing is not calculated to give strength to Buch organizations. Organization along : co-operative lines has been demonstrated to be of great value to the farmers in Euro pean countries and well directed .work of that kind ought not to be delayed or met with indifference in the United States. The key to the Rosetta atone is the word "Co-operation." Permit me to say further, individ ually, that in my judgment, our rural population needs a financial plan or system separate and .distinct from a commercial banking System, to meet their requirements. They should have facilities for short time cash accom modations at reasonable rates which can be had by co-operative institutions md thev should have a plan or means for obtaining long time loans at a low rate of interest with sinking fund or amortization feature.' A bill was introduced by me in the senate on August 9th, and I then dis cussed the subject, and also had print ed A statement outlining and explain ing the bill. I took the position that no commercial banking system could be made to suitably accommodate the farmer; that a distinct system adapt ed to his needs was necessary. I wish it understood that I did this on my J own responsibility and not as chair- pian of the American commission, or i m any official relation whatover. I wish it further understood that I am not committt ihe plan there set forth to Such Ai 'ant I nit I ready to yield it or any portion of it u a oewer scneme is presented. It provides for a definite, clearly defin ed national rural banking system. It touches the states at many ppints. Land title laws, foreclosure laws, laws regarding voluntary societies organ ized not for profit and other state laws existing or to be enacted should be amended, passed or dela with in land make it in the highest degree beneficial.

' Try FALLSTAFF, the King of all Beer LOTTES BAR 1118 JEFFERSON AVE. Refusing to accept the aid of friends to secure his, pardon from a jail sen tence in : Portland for defrauding in vestors by use of the mails, Pat C. Lavey, formerly secretary-manager of the La Grande Commercial club, who has recently been located in Portland, writes an interesting letter ..from his cell to his friends, as follows: Portland, Ore., Aug. 26. (To the Editor). The article, in Xh Oregoni ari of July 29, relative to my refusal to permit, my friends to proceed in the matter of securing executive - clem ency from the president in my case was true, but indefinite, and I would like to explain to your readers why a man confined in jail refuses to let his good friends help -in his release. It is not because I do not want free dom, for I do want that as much as any man. Several years ago, when I commit ted the offense against the postal laws which sent me to this jail, ' I was young in the ways of business and was not familiar with the methods of some business men. I was unaware of .the traps that always lay wide open for the y oung, energetic 'and perhaps over ambitious man who is willing to be-; lieve every word spoken by his asso ciates in an enterprise to which they are anxious to lend their names. The enterprise to which I refer came to me unsolicited. " ' From the day I realized I was "hold ing the sack", and that unless I earn ed and repaid some $40,000, those who had invested in the enterprise must lose, I tried my best to meet the obli gations personally and "by my own ef forts. My close friends know all about my struggles to ''make good." : District Attorney McCourt and his assistant, Mr. Johnson, gave me a white man's fighting chance to ac complish this. Postal Inspector Dur and was not at any time intollerant with me in my efforts, but the task was too great for me to accomplish in the short time. I met the inevita ble as best Ijcould before Judge Wol verton, who saved me the disgrace of wearing convict stripes. This leni ency was recommended by Assistant District Attorney -Johnson. : " Sheriff Word and his jailers, Graf ton Pratt and Pfeifer. have spared me every humiliation. They have treated me ' like a real human being. This treatment has had its good effect. It has made me more determined than ever to make a success of life; to go on through with, the battfe without malice against any man; to justify the confidence of my friends. I refused to permit my friends to proceed with the pardon plans because I could not let them do more for me. They went on my bonds, loaned me money, when I was embarrassed afld have supplied me' with what I have needed in the way of extras ever since my incarcer ation. 1 believe I have justified the confidence of my bondsmen'. -i 1 I was not secretary of the state of Oklahoma.' I was private secretary to Governor Haskell, throughout his cam paigns for the constitutional conven tion and for governors-He would trav el to Washington new and lay my case before the president, and perhaps se cure my pardon, but 1 refuse to per mit this. United States Senators Ow en and Gore, of Oklahoma; Stone and Reed, of Missouri, also the Kansas senators, would help me, but I refuse. I made a mistake. I will now try my level best to be man enough to "face the music," I regret that my sentence does not expire until after New Year's and that I must pass that day and Christmas here. I will play Christmas tree with the other fellows here, and we who belong temporarily to the "down-and-outers" will make the best of it. Would you print this letter, so that men who know me will know my real feelings about the pardon? I wish them all the best of luck and prosper ity. P. C. LAVEY.
