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. '

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.

Do Some People Always Get Ahead? ,
That Seem to Answer Most Cases,
REASON ONE- "
, Their word is always good. Their note is always paid. Their
friends always speak a good word for them.
REASON TWO
' - They use good judgment and observe things as they really are ;
REASON THREE- .'v
; These people live in La Grande; buy their goods in -Lit Grande.
. They work in La 6rande and invest their savings in ' La Grande.
REASON FOUR - ' '
Their investments in La Grande are always under their own con
trol and in consequence their returns are always satisfactory
They are not misled by the far away illusions, knowing that La
Grande offers greater opportunities for investment than any place
in the Northwest. , ,
