Things to Think of.
California apple erowers have
threatened the SanFrancisco middle
men, that they will sell direct to the
consumer.
The Spanish American War Vet
erans at Tacoma went on record as
being opposed to the use of the milit
ia in labor strikes. Why! Not have a
brother kill brother when he quits
working for the masters? These vet
erans must have lost their thirst for
blood.
In Germany you can send a 11 lb.
package anywhere in that country for
12 cents. In America it is 35 cents for
the first zone. In Austria 'you can
send 110 pound packagas by Parcel
Post; in Belgium 132 pounds but 11
pounds is all our Uncle Sam can car
ry without competing with the ex
press companies.
President elect Wilson has been
urged by the Farmers' Union num
bering about three million members,
and is strong in the South, to appoint
their Pres. C. S. Barrett, of Georgia,
as Secetary of Agriculture. J. A. Ev
erett, Pres. of the Equity, also has
been mentioned, but these men are
doing the, times more good for farm
ers where they are.
When we can get a Congress in
sympathy with the workers of our
nation the Sec. of Agriculture will not
. have to hang on to the tail of the mule
and take dictation from the big mid
dlemen.
A butcher of Oregon City, sold
creamery butter for less than the gro
eries were charging and for some
leason that our readers can guess
the creamery refused to sell said
butcher any more butter.
I want to say that the farmers had
nothing to do with this and are in
no way to blame and it is not our
fight, but you have a remedy for
such proceedings in co-operation.
Three, such stores in Portland are
doing good business and one making
as high as 32 per cent on the stock.
The day is not far when the road to
prosperity for the grocer will be in
another direction.
New locals are being organized in
Clackamas county and the organized
machinery so far is working satis
factorily. We are waiting and listen
ing for a call for a state union soon
and then the real work will bee-in in
earnest. The Courier will keep you
posted. Every farmer that wants to
better his condition should take hold
now and help, not depend on others
to pull you out of the old rut.
If you have read the Courier and
you like it, send in your subscription
through the Sec. of any local union
and get the union rate.
There is no other paper in the
state like the Courier. It is on your
side fighting your battles and depends
on you for support. The subscription
list is growing. The Courier ia very
much alive and its columns are not
under lock and key but open to the
opinions of all good people. Join the
army of subscribers and help push a
good thing to the front.
Brown's editorials or the farmers'
letters are worth more than the sub'
scription price. There is going to be
something doing that interests you
in the near future and without the
Courier you will simply be behind the
procession. You just can't do without
it.
Brother Farmer, if you receive a
copy of the Courier without sub'
scribing, it has been sent by the
Farmers' Equity Society. We want
you and nine or more other farmers
torrange for a meeting at your
school house or hall and we will send
our organizer to welcome you into
our union. In union there is strength.
We have no secrets, no grips, signs,
or pass words. We do not tell all our
business to the world fas that is not
the way with the business world to
day. The Equity has a complete plan
to' control the produce of the farm
and is organizing to benefit the farm
er in selling his crops at a profit,
also in buying to the best advantage.
You need us and we need you. Write
to any of the county officers for in
formation. P. W. MEREDITH.
EDITORIALS.
The work of the officers and stand
ing committees is bearing fruit.
The Farmers' Union, similar to the
Equity, operates in 21 states and has
three million members. It will prob'
ably merge with the Equity soon.
The money of the world is made in
the market; the wealth is produced in
the field and shop. Farmers, join the
Equity and learn the ways of the
market.
Farmers wil command the respect
of all when they atend to their own
business in an "Up to Date" manner
and the results will jingle in the right
hand pocket
. The Equity is not sending lobyists
up to Salem to tell our senators what
to do or not to do. We have one at
home that can do the job if those
at Salem fail.
A large canning factory in Port
land would not be as valuable as
numerous -smaller plants established
near the orchards. Fruit picked fresh
from the vine or tree can be worked
into a first class article but haul
and ship it and you have a poor ar
ticle for any cannery. And why pay
freight and pay the other fellow in
the city for doing what the people
tTHE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE FARMERS SOCIETY OF EQUITY
at home can do better? Portland
seems to have too much of everything
but honest dollars, Keep the canner
ies, let Portland have the product as
near the consumer as you can get it.
A special train .of Portland people
went to Salem to tell our legislature
how much to appropriate to the San
Francisco show. This may be the same
bunch that wants the people to spend
the small sum of 135,000 t teach the
larmers now to glut some more mar
kets and not a single hay seed in the
whole bunch.
There will be news of importance
in the Equity columns of the Courier
every week. 'Ihing3 are going to hap-
pen within 60 days that will cause
the business world to take notice. The
workers of the Equity are working,
putting in long hours without pav,
and going down in their pockets for
the necessary legal tender to put the
organization on its feet. In times like
this every member should do his best.
Mr. Shewman, of the Live Wires of
Oregon City, gave us about the best
suggestion for the farmers viz., Raise
more stock and less truck. Meat is
still produced at a profit on account
of the scarcity and there is more prof
it in well bred stock than scrubs and
as long as the trust controls the mar
ket price, to the consumer, is not
going to be any lower than conditions
will permit. Oregon City needs more
bhewmans.
i he farmers- of Missouri met at
Columbia and the situation was gone
over pretty thoroughly and about all
the conclusion arrived at was co-op'
eration ir buying and selling.
The Equity plan would be in de
mand in the "show me" state just
now. ine average Missouri farmer
is far behind his Kansas or Nebraska
neighbor in co-operation and it is to
be hoped he will wake up.
The farmers of the Grange, Farm
ers Union and other organizations
appeared before the House committee
on currency reform in Washington
City on the 28 and advocated direct
loans by the National Government to
the farmers on long time with law
interest rates.
Farmers know that we have a law
by which a bank of five million capi
tal can borrow from Uncle Sam at
one per cent and give for security
bonds on watered stock. And if the
farmer gets any of this money he
must get.it through the local bank
at their rate. This is the Elastic Cur
rency Law. Rubber!
Farmers have made many mistakes
in the past and suffer the consequen
ces. Now think of the many mistakes
of the surveyor, doctor, lawyer and
other professional men that the
farmers and others have to suffer for
and it seems that the big fee must
be paid and these men are in no way
responsible for their mistakes. And
our laws and courts fail to untangle
these mistakes or give justice to the
people.
The Equity can save the farmers
many dollars and friends by using
the local to adjust differences of the
members. Courts are costly.
There is in ' every neighborhood
some slight differences that can be
adjusted and each member of the
Equity should do what he can to bury
dead differences and stand together
for the good of all.

OREGON CITY AGENCY.
Equity Society Taking Up
This
Important Matter.
Carus local No. 6882 met Saturday
night Feb. 1st., with a large attend
ance. Delegates to the County union
were elected. This was done for the
purpose of being in readiness in case
of a call for a special meeting.-
The matter of establishing an ag
ency at Oregon City was taken up
and discussed. Sentiment was about
evenly divided. Delegates were in
structed to ask the County Union to
appoint a commission from that body
to investigate the advisability of the
same.
By-laws of the Union Sales Com
pany were read and discussed. With
the exception of two minor recom
mendations the by-laws were favor
ably received as they are written.
Some ten or twelve members sub
scribed to the stock of this company.
Two new membership were admit
ted to membership.
It was voted that Carus Local meet
alternately at the Carus and Eldor
ado schoolhouses. The next meeting
will be held at Eldorado March 1st,
7:30 P. M.
The Secretary was asked to ascer
tain at what price per ton a car
load ofcorn from Nebraska can be
laid down at Oregon City. The prop
osition of co-operating in buying
sugar was also talked over.

A Poem to Farmers.
Farmers Must Learn To Buy,
Above All Sell.
The dearest place on earth to me,
Is right' out here in the country:
There's where life is pure and sweet,
There's where you get the best to eat.
There's where health can be retrained,
There's where eyes are never inflamed
There's where ypu go to bed at night
Ana rise in ine moraine- leeline right.
There's where people don't pass you
by,
And wisely say "Good morning Sy,'
There's where you get the respect
that 8 due,
There's where they don't ridicule and
make sport of you.
There's where people are on the
square,
For as a rule the farmer tries to be
fair;
But how can he? When he has to
contend
With what the middleman says,
the buying and selling end.
When he comes to town you'l hear him
say
How much you paying for eggs to
day?
And the merchant answers with
silent laugh,
Oh, about twenty-three and a half,
Of course he isn't obliged to sell,
He can go to others, but they'll all
say well:
That's the very best I can do
Why, it's enough to make the
strongest feel blue.
The farmer must take just what
they 11 give,
And he works and produces so that
we all might live;
And when he gets ready to go back
home
He'll say to the merchant, what'll you
take for that broom ?
Farmers, I'll tell you its a clear case
of gall
He wants it all, and all and all;
Why brothers, you're slaves in this
battle of strife
And you produce the bread of life.
You create or produce this vast am
ount of wealth, .
But its taken from you by low, mean
stealth.
You produce and create-
But its the man welding the mighty
pen,
Who accumulates it and stores it
away in his spacious bin.
Of course, individually, the farmer is
not to blame,
And he hasn't entirely worked in
vain;
He's had a very weedy row to hoe,
For this is true, we all well know.
He hasn't had time to even say,
I'm tired of getting beat this way.
But it's going to be different from now
on with him
And he'll be enlarging his old empty
bin;
He realizes now, like all laboring men
do,
That his only salvation is to organize
too.
And it won't be long you will hear the
consumer tell
That the farmer knows how to buy
and sell
For the consumer will profit, the
farmer too;
really believe the middleman will,
don't you ?
Oh, you dear, noble farmer, sit up;
take notice today, .
If you don't, it won't be long they'll
be taking your farms away.
But I tell you there is relief at hand,
And it's going to spread throughout
our U. S. grand
Receiving recognizance on every
hand, in every land, and we're go
ing to sit in life s grand stand.
But pardon me, I haven't told you
what your salvation will be,
Now listen, betfome a charter mem
ber of the Farmers' Society of
Equity.
Let . Equity enter right into your
heart, , ,
And from it don't you ever dare to
depart.
But feed on equity every meal,
And train your nerves to become as
strong as steel. And then I know
you'll always be,
Happy and prosperous through the
Farmers' Society of Equity. . ,
ED; E. BRENNER.
1 Anything to Exchange?
The National Union of the Equity
is going to institute a system of
commodity exchange everywhere and
from now on the sales of the Equity
system will be one continual multi
plication increase.
If you want to buy or sell anything
brother farmer, join the Equity and
attend the meetings, get your wants
on the list. The more meetings you
miss the less you will know about
the workings of the farmers' system.
Each local union in Clackamas
county should make out a list of
what you have to sell and what you
want to buy and send it in to F. G.
Buchanon, Oregon City.
If you, no matter who you are or
where you are, want to buy any
farm crop or produce of any kind in
any amount and want to buy direct
from the producer see or write F. G.
Buchanon, Oregon City.
The County Union may issue a call
soon. Each local should choose its
delegates at next meeting and be in
readiness.

THE MIDDLEMAN MUST GO.
He is the Man Who is Boosting the
Cost of Things.
The middleman seems to be "in for
it" these days. Commissions in Mass
achusetts and New York, which have
been investigating the high cost of
living, have reached the conclusion
to which so many others who have ia
quired into the subject, have come.
They agree that the remedy, to quote
the Massachusetts commission, is "to
devise ways and means for the pro
ducer to reach the consumer with the
minimum cost of handling his prod
uct."
But the Massachusetts investigat
ors find no room for hope that the day
of cheap food will return. Among the
causes of higher prices they enumer
ate the increased supply of gold, soc
ial and individual waste and the drift
of population from the farms to the
cities. They do not regard the tariff
and trusts as the "direct and active
cause."
The New York commission reaches
the conclusion that from 40 to 70
per cent of the consumer's dollar is
absorbed by unnecessary handling. It
suggests a state and city department
of markets, with a view of reducing
the swarm of -retailers. The Massa
chusetts commission advocates a
state market commission.
The weight of the conclusions to
which these two official commissions
have come rests on the main point of
better system of distribution. On
almost "every t other aspect of the
qestion opinions differ widely. If, for
instance, American waste and care
lessness are presented as a cause,
this is met by the argument that in
countries where personal economy is
the rule the cost of living is also on
the rise. One fact, at least, being in
creasingly clear the large relative
addition to cost in the stage between
the producer and the consumer it is
well to concentrate remedial efforts
there, without losing sight of the
other difficulties that may seem to
enter into the complex problem.
From the National Organizer.
The progress made by the Farmers
Society of Equity in Clackamas Co
unty is indeed gratifying. It is also
pleasing to note that other counties
are also lining up in good shape.
Mr. Seth Hall, recently from Cleone
in Multnomah county, moved to Clat
skanie, in Columbia county on a beau
tiful farm about a mile and a half
from the post office. A member of
the Farmers Society of Equity, he got
busy with his new neighbors and in
vited them to come together on the
27th and to, talk this matter over in
council. An nivitatlon was also ex
tended to your humble servant, to be
present and mix up in the festivities.
Columbia County with 65 charter
members, was formed. Invitations
were received from other near-by
fpoints to organize there also so we
can look to Columbia county to be
very live one with us.

Report of Clarks Equity Meeting.
The Clarks Local held its first
egular meeting Saturday evening,
Feb. 1st. with eleven members pres
ent.
Mr. Clark, one of the delegates to
the meeting of the county union gave
an interesting report of the proceed
ings of that meeting.
Mr. F. Marshall stated that he has
seed potatoes and oats for sale. The
potatoes, which are of the Scotch Ru
ral and Sir Walter Raleigh varieties
are smooth, free from blight, scab or
rot.
The matter of the clearing house
at Portland was discussed at length.
Four members subscribed for one
share each of the stock. We will take
this up again and also the matter of
an agent in Oregon City, at our next
meeting to be held Saturday evening
February 15th. '
THE OLE0QUESTI0N.
National Orange Demand! Laws Pro
hibiting Sale of Fake Butter.
The following resolution was adopt
ed at the recent meeting of the na
tional grange:
Whereas, The oleomargarine manufac
turers of the country have long sought to
counterfeit genuine butter that they might
dispone of theft products fraudulently to
those who desire to consume butter: and,
Whereas. There has been a bill Intro
duced In congress, known as the Lever
bill, which If enacted Into law will re
move all restrictions to the coloring of
oleomargarine In imitation of butter and
leave the millions of our people who eat
at hotels, restaurants and boarding houses
without protection against counterfeits of
the butter that they ask for and pay for;
therefore.
Resolved, That we are strongly opposed
to the Lever bill and that, we demand ths
enactment of a law that shall, as far as
possible, prevent the fraudulent sale of
butter substitutes by prohibiting their
manufacture and sale when containing a
higher shade of yellow than that pro
duced by the admixture of 66 per cent of
pure white.

What Union Can Do.
A Little Talk About this New Union
We are Taking Notice Of.
The people of Oregon City and of
tne county generally are beginning to
realize that a new union is being or
ganized in Oregon, and they are be
ginning to come awake and ask what
it is and what is it going to do?. The
business man is asking, the workman
wants to know, and that Farmers' So
ciety of Equity is coming in for a lot
of question marks.
bome ask just for idle curosity;
some because they are anxious to
know if .this union of farmers is go
ing into the boosting business and
some of the business men want to
know if it is aimed to cut" their corn
ers.
It isn't organized for any of these
purposes, and it isn't going to do anv
oi tnese things.
It's a long story to tell ALL that
this Equity Society proposes to do,
and this space isn't long enough to
explain, but we will state that one of
its principal purposes is to take that
fifty per cent profit the middleman is
getting, give half of it to the farmer
and half of it to the consumer and if
the Society never accomplished any
thing more it would have done a
great work.
One of the greatest leeches on the
right to live is the middleman who
doubles the price of a product be
tween the man who raises it and the
man who eats it and doubles it in a I
distance of a dozen or two miles.
This is the parasite the farmers'
unions are going to force off the job.
They are going to split his commiss-
ions between themselves and the eat-
ers and do their own selling.
Many people laugh at this Equity
Society and say "it will fall down as
the Populist schemes did, for the
farmers can't hang together."
They have much to base these pre-
dictions on, ior tne larmers 'have
made a mess of about everything they
nave tried along tne lines or union
and co-operation in the past, but there
comes a time when the farmer real-
lzes that he must play the game the
way the other fellows play it, he
must play it this way or go down for
the count, for today the famers pre-
sent a shining opportunity for the
trusts. Unorganized, and playing an
individual game, big money is looking
to the land for its next combination
move, and unless some move like this
Equity Society tightens up the farm
ers, scientific farming, in the hands of
the big interests, will put the individ
ual farmer down and out and put him
and his land at the mercy of the in
terests. ,
But this Equity plan, if the farm
ers only play it together (and they
now realize they simply must) will
put the farmer in a position where he
will .make the price to the consumers,
and not the commission men. The so
ciety is not a new or crazy scheme.
It has been organized and working
for years in the eastern states, but
growing slowly, until as the farmers
have' began to realize they must do
something to protect themselves and
their vocation, then it began to take
on strength, and it is spreading like
a prairie fire over the country.
Its plan is the most coprehensive
one that brains could outline. It is
tight if the squeeze is needed in self
defense, and it is fair to any man or
business that will play fair.
. The railroads are taking notice of
this farmers' union; the trusts and
the big financial interests are making
inquiries; the wholesale houses1 IdjE
Portland are announcing in the daily
papers that hereafter they will mail
w svery xor.cl "
er of his produce and the price that
to every farmer the name of the buy
was paid. These fellows are begin
ning to see a light; they begin to
realize WHAT the farmers COULD
accomplish . if they would hold to
gether, that controlling the supply as
they would, they would have a com
bination that would beat the Stand
ard Oil Co., if the squeeze should be
put on.
The farmer isn't figuring on any
squeeze play. Give him just about
half an even break and he is satis
fied. But he knows he can have that
half a cahnce if he only will force it,
and believe me, he is going to.
The success of the whole organiza
tion hinges on just three words
"WILL THEY STICK?"
The farmers say they WILL, and it
certainly looks that way now in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho.

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Oregon City Residents,
Many people in a misguided effort
to get rid of kidney backache, rely on
plasters, liniments and other make
shifts. The right treatment is kidney
treatment and a remarkably reco
mmended kidney medicine is Doan's
Kidney Pills. Oregon City is no ex-
ception.
The proof is at your very door. The
following is an experience typical of
the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in
Oregon City:
James Wilkinson, 201 Fourteenth
St.. Oretfon City, Ore., says: "I had a
backache and pains in my loins and
could not sleep well. There was stiff-
ness in my limbs and other symptons 1
of kidnev trouble were present. Be
ing advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills
I dia and was gratified by their
promptness in relieving me. Although
I am in my seventieh year, I am hale
and hearty and I give Doan's Kidney
Pills the credit."

The Forty Year Test.
An article must have exceptional
merit to survive for a period of forty
years. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was first offered to the public in
1872. From a small beginning it has
grown in favor and popularity until
it has attained a world wide reputat
ion. You will find nothing better for
a cough or cold. Try it and you will
understand why it is a favorite after
a epriod of more than forty years. It
not only gives relief it cures, ror
