What Rpeuial beuufit does the tax payer
nci'ive for thi8?
COlirOHATION FARMING.
Ohganization is the order of the day
in every industry. The individual id
becoming more and more dependent on
the social onanism. E. E. Ewing, writ
ing in the (Junntry Gentleman, recom
mends "corporation farming" to the
tillers of the soil. Since the Bubject of
creamery stock cjmpanies is receiving
much attention at present in the Wil
lamette Valley, what he says ia worthy
of consideration, viz. :
"Cooperative" farming will not fill the
bill. Cooperation is too loose a tie to
risk a DTinaiient business with. A dis
contented or wrong headed man can
spoil the whole businers of a cooperative
concern by "kicking over the traces"
and demanding to withdraw , bis farm.
A corporation is the only strong and
sure tie for a joint-stock business.
"Unite a dozun, twenty or more farms
composing one corporation, by assess
ing tho value of each farm and issuing
the owner stock in the concern to value
of his farm, minus ti is dwelling with
yard, garden and the small amount of
ground nocessury about the premises,
that tho tarmer would keep as a home
for bin family.
"A board of directors would be elected
by the stockh lders, and the samti busi
ness routine followed as by all corpora
tions. The laud would be laid off in
parcels best suited for the different pur
pose! or crops for which it was dosigned,
fencus torn away and the tract iem,odeled
in dividing to suit the plans for future
work. The fittest man would be se
lected to direct the special business as
signed him, so as secure the very ablest
management in every department.
"Farming is too complicated a busi
ness for any one man properly to man
age. There is no other business which
requires so much sound judgment, tcien
title knowledge and method in execution.
Thero is no other way to so nire the best
results from the farm, except by a com
bination of labor, capital and brains,
making a specially of each, department
of tho busini's, to bo managed by the
most competent man for that particular
work. There are probably a dozen con
ditions, widely differing from each other
in the business of farming, and no one
man ix c ipuhlo of fullllling the demands
of all; no single armor can get all out
of his farm that it is capable of produc
ing, that a competent business manage
mom and stillicient aiea of land could
bo made to produce, acre for acre, when
Iho product is converted into cash.
m utral establishment whore all
sthB business 'lls
were worked out
iiul'sed and fed,
and the lured help
would relieve the farmer's family of a
vast deal of work which under present
one-man farming makes drudges of
them. The details of such a rural or
agricultural corporations can be men
1 tally catalogued by any farmer who has
observed tho methods pursued by laige
manufacturing establishments.
"Thoie are many unavoidable small
wastes on a small farm which would not
ccur on a large estate, but bo added as
prottt to the increased yield made possi
ble by intensive farming on largo areas
of land.
"Tho inlluonco which such a corpora-
ti,,,, would exert in public affairs would
increase equal to tho square of thodium
P'er over tho lulUionce which is exerted
l,y the isolated and BoliUry farmer.
The subject of comoration farming is of
v ist importance, an 1 appeals to tho best
thought of advanced farmers. Every
0U,..r business has gone into or been
driven into "trusts," and tho farmer
will like those in other lines of industry
Uvd to follow, or ere long he will find
Mmsoll working for a city or town land
v.i who is a member of some other
.rporation and took his farm for the
' mortgage he held on it. This is tho
drift which any man with eyes may see
i!i.. ai-hi-v ilrtv "
THE PPJtE OF PUBLIC SUP VICE
Tiierr is a proposal pending to in
creune the salaries of the justices i f
the United States supreme court by 60
percent. The chief justice, who now
receives $10 500 year, is to got $15,600,
and the associates are to receive $15,000
instead of $10,000. The salaries of the
circuit judges are alto to be increased
from $6,0110 to $9,000, and those of the
distr ct judges from $5,000 to $7,500.
United States judges usually are able
men. At least, it is impossible for them
to be absolute idiots. They have to
deal with the most important subjects
that can come before the American peo
ple. It is thought that the best brains
of the nation can be obtained for this
work for salaries of from $7,500 to $15,
500. We paid Cornelius Vanderbilt over
$1,', 00,000 a year for owning certain rail
road stocks, and are paying Jiis young
son, just out of college, about $1,200,000
a year for the same science. Tnis is
more than the combined salaries of the
president ami vice-president j of the
United Siates, all members of the cab
inet, all the i istic.iSof tho supreme court,
all the judges of the other United States
courts, the lieutenant-general, major-
generals and brigadier-generals of the
regular army, the admiral and ail the
rear-adiiiirnls of the uavy, and tho gov
ernors of all the .4iites uii'l toirilories.
It seems hardly probable that one inof
fensive youth, jiint married at Newport,
has more brains than all these func
tionaries combined, or renders greater
services to the community.
But the Vanderbilt case is mild com
pared with others. We pai l Mr. Carne
gie $25,000,000 a year for running part of
the national steel business, and Mr.
Rockefeller still more tor managing the
oil and many other industries.
When ws look at the matter from a
social point of yiew, all these payments
are simply salaries for performing cer
tain public services.
The orthodox oc inomi.its h ive justi
fled this management on the ground
that those payments are necessary to
induce men of ability to undertake the
work of production. But is that true?
Would able men refuse to work if these
enormous rewards were reduced?
We fail to see any ground for this be
lief. Even under present conditions,
with all the roflts of business in direct
competition, the government has no dif
ficulty in securing all the men of ability
it wants to doits work for small salaries.
vwienA.r, Stewart was making a
million dollars a year in the dry goodt
business he was willing to give it all up
to work as secretary of the treasury for a
salary of $8,000. Lincoln carried us
through the greatest war in history
bearing the bunion of a nation's destiny
on his shoulders for four years and fac
ing every moment the danger of assasi-
nation that dually struck huu down, all
for $25,000 a year. It really seeing as if
Lincoln's work were as arduous as Mr.
Carnegie's, and called for as much abil
ity.

Would he do this or that, and if so how?
Would he stand back and see the people

What would Jesus do? Did you ever
think of it.
When you were tempted did you ever

No von think be would go into a saloon
And stay all night and until the next

Do you think that Jesus would go to the

And vote for license when he know it

Always ask the question, "Would Je
