ABOUT THE WAREHOUSE
Secretary Lyman Explains the De
tails of the Undertaking.
Portland, Feb. 5, 1913.
To the officers and members of the
Local Unions of the Farmers' Society
of Equity:
For information and encourage
ment, we wish to state at this time,
that we have returns to date, from
five local union secretaries on the
stock subscriptions for the Farmers'
Society of Equity Warehouse Co. The
total number of shares taken by mem
bers of these unions is 91, of which 54
have been paid in full. One local Bent
in $162.00 in cash yesterday.
There are several locals, which
were to hold meetings the forepart of
this month, and we expect to hear
some good reports from them in the
next few days, as their officers re
ported that they would push the mat
ter with all diligence, and as individ
uals, were heartily in favor of our
plan.
The committee on co-operation has
certainly met with much encourage
ment in its work in the way of letters
and good will from officers and mem
bers of the association in various sec
tions in our territory.
If the members of the locals contin
ue to take hold of this proposition as
freely as they have started out, we
shall soon have very nearly the re
quired amount of subscribed stock,
which is necessary to complete our
corporation, and turn the company
over to the subscribers and to the
board of directors elected by them.
A very few individuals, who have
failed to examine into this proposit
ion very carefully, and who have
jumped at erroneous conclusions, have
intimated that they would not do any
thing at present on this stock, but
that they would wait and see how
things would come out. To such we
would say, that if every one waited
for somebody else to take hold of any
such organization as this, there would
never be anything done, and such an
attitude is absolutely inexcuseable on
the part of any sane member of the
Farmers' Society of Equity. If he
cannot afford $1.00 a month necessary
to take out at least one share of this
stock, he may be excusable, but if he
persists in hanging back simply be
cause he is afraid to trust his broth
er farmers and the members of his
Society, it is either the result.of folly
or ignorance.
The warehouse company is a nec
essary adjunct to complete the mark
eting system for the Farmers Society
will have in the formation of a com
pany of this character, and the great
disadvantage all will be- put to with-1
out such a central organization. In
dividual locals may do something for
themselves. County unions may assist
the locals of their respective counties
in carrying out some of the plans of
the Eauitv svstem. and the btate aec
retary might help these county and
local unions to co-operate with eacn
other, but without a central company
with strong financial backing, ana
competent manager who will insist
on the proper grading of fruits and
vegetables, and who can successfully
cope with other business men in the
produce line, we believe that our (soc
iety and our organization here in the
Northwest would be doomed to final
failure.
Let no one think, that the writer or
the incorporator is looking for any
prominence or recompense on their
oart for the promotion of this conv
pany. The "laborer is truly worthy of
h is hire" and it would be lolly to ex
pect a few men to put in days and
weeks of hard work on this propos
ition without some pay for the same.
but when this company is organized
and turned over to tne coara oi di
rectors elected by the stock holders,
then the present board of incorpor
ators have done with their work, and
it is up to those who subscribed for
stock, and those whom they have el
ected as directors, to take over the
entire management of the propos
ition together with all monies which
have accumulated to their credit aur
ing the organization period, with the
exception of a very small amount nec
essary to pay the expenses of incor
porating and disposing of the stock.
Trusting that the members of the
Farmers' Society of Equity will con
tinue to show their enthusiastic in
terest in this proposition, and that the
matter of completing the organization
may be carried out without unneces
sary delay and expense, we remain,
Very truly yours,
Committee of Incorporation
of the Union Sales Company.
A. R. LYMAN, Sec.
About our Portland Warehouse.
As the writer understands the sit
uation the stockholders will own and
operate this warehouse; make their
own by-laws and regulations under
the laws of the State of Oregon and
as members of the Farmers' Society
of Equity, but in no other way a part
of the society. When a sufficient amt
of stock is subscribed a meeting of
the stockholders will be called and of
ficers elected and stock issued, and be
assessable, or non-assessable; trans
ferable or not, and .can issue their
stock in any way they choose. In fact
those questions will be left entirely
to the stock holders. Those who buy
the stock will say how it is to be man
aged. P. W. Meredith.
The Rifle Route.
A German named Anton Meyer, ag
ed about 60 years, living on the Mil
waukee road in Harmony Precinct,
killed himself Monday by putting a
rifle muzzle against his forehead and
pulling the trigger. Sheriff Mass and
Coroner Wilson took charge of the
body. The man was undoubtedly
crazy.
JTHE OFFICIAL OR.GAN OF THE FARMERS SOCIETY OF EQUITY
EQUITY.
A plain motion before the house
is worth carload of long drawn out
suggestions.
Co-operation 1b new thing with
farmers and that puts them in the
primer class.
When we buy and sell a few little
things and make and save money we
will try bigger things.
Each member should go to the
meetings and take part; add your in
luence. You are one and should count
one in the local: in the neighborhood
in the State, nation and in the whole
thing:.
The farmers of Clackamas county
or of the State of Oregon need have
no fears about the success of any plan
of co-operation as the National Un
ion is going to put in a system now.
Congress called for a report from
the Sec. of Agriculture in regard to
co-operation and the report has been
sent to congress and contains 391
pages. The time is not far off when
Uncle Sam will join the Equity.
Uncle Sara has joined forces with
the banks and made some of the
largest fortunes for a few bankers
that the world ever knew.
Uncle Sam has gone into partner
ship with the liquor dealers; stored
their product; loaned them money on
it and made it pay from the very
first.
It is time for our uncle to help his
farmers out of the ruts of competit
ion and devise an honest and econom
ical system of co-operation for all
his workers.
The Agricultural College of Kan
sas is now the head of all co-operative
organizations of the farmers of
that state.
The Oregon College gets every year
nearly $200,000 of our hard earned
money and they should spend some of
it in securing sale for what they have
helped us to produce or they would be
a business failure.
f And now comes a bill In our legis
lature to tax us over three hundred
thousand more for this college. We
have learned how to veto these
things.
Bulletin No. 10 from National
headquarters has been on the market
since the 21st of Dec. but very little
listed from the Northwest We must
list our stuff. It costs us comparative
ly nothing and we can not sell it if
it is not listed.
There should be a quantity of mer
chantable produce.Jiye stock etc., for
us to work on. We will learn more by
experience than discussion to begin
with.
The government is going to loan
money to the farmers because there is
a powerful demand ana the bankers
are discussing it The farmers are dis
cussing it .The politicians are discus
sin; it.
We farmers want that money to
build creameries, packing houses, fac
tories and canneries on the farms
and can give good real estate secur
ity.And we want this money direct
from Uncle Sam at 2 per cent without
any middle man with a big commiss
ion. We welcome to our County Union
two more up to date locals. One is the
Colton, W. W. Gorbett Sec, J. E.
Sandall, Pres; another at Damascus
with J. C. Rogers Pres. and H. T.
Burr Sec
These new locals must read UP to
date and the Courier; attend the
meetings of the County Union; push
into the collar and will soon be on to
the ropes and sailing a smooth sea.
See?
The irrand jury has indicted nearly
all the commission men on Front St,
. ; i M
on two counts, one on resinum m
trade and the other for conspiracy.
It matters not to the farmer wheth
er these men are found guilty or not
The "system" of distribution which
robs both the producer and the con
sumer will remain at' the old stand.
The only difference will be that a few
hungry lawyers will file briefs a mile
lonar. then demurrer, and move for
a writ of habeas corpus and a subpoe
na duces tecum and a nunc pro tunc
and then they will find eomma in
the wrong place and the judge will
take the lawyers under advisement
and divide up the fines and estates
and we will hear no more about it
We cannot leaislate wealth into ex
istence; all the good legislation does
is to state whose pockets it must go
into.
The" farmers produce billions of
wealth and every year Congress and
the legislatures let it travel the same
old road into the other lenow s pocK
et And this kind of confiscation has
been going on for years. What is the
use of working people working them
selves poor without changing the con
ditions that give it all to other peop
le T Join the Equity and help us help
ourselves out of the old rut.

SOME DAY.
What the Farmers May Accomplish
When They all Pull Together.
Years and years ago some fellow
alive from his ears up, conceived that
co-operation in business would be a
goou stunt.
He got the idea to working in a
small way and then in no time every
business of any size in the country
began to get in. And we call them
"combinations" and "trusts."
And then the fellows who worked
for the combinations and trusts be
gan to see where they would have to
get off. at if the combinations and
trusts should use the hang-together
power, so they acted on the same
lines and combined. And we call them
labor unions.
And capital and labor have been
having a monkey and porrot time of
it ever since. Some time the parrot
gets the best of the deal and the next
round the monkey wins out
They are much in the position of
Great Britian and Germany. Each one
has to keep coming back, each has to
watch and keep prepared for the oth
er, for the minute one relaxes, it is a
gone nation.
But the question is where would
either capital or labor be without the
union behind it, so long as the other
is combined?
And the answer to the question is,
"Look at the farmer."
Everything has comulned except
the farmer. He plays it alone and
everybody plays him. He raises a
dollar's worth of stuff and gets 48
cents for it. He works longer hours
than any class of people in this coun
try and gets the least for it. The rich
farmers (the most of them) are those
who inherited it.
If there were no unions, no combin
ations, no co-operation, and all was
open competition, demand and supply
would regulate wages and the cost of
everything, and everybody would be
on an even footing would have an
even break.
But when about nine out of ten are
organized for each others' , benefit,
when about nine out of ten combine
to hold up their prices and hold down
the tenth man's prices, then that lone
some tenth man is going to get it
where Johnny had the bronchitis'.
It has taken years for the farmer
to realize that he must get in and
play the co-operative game or be put
out of the game, but he realizes it
now.
Every tick of the clock shows him
how the middlemen and the produce
men, the combinations and every one
of the' unions have skinned him alive
these many years.
And then he remembers that he and
his neighbors have what the world
MUST have, what the people cannot
get along 24 hours without and then
I hope he calls for the kicking ma
chine.
The farmers are realizing that they
have the material for the tightest
trust on earth right in their hands
and that all these years they have
been allowing the big fellows to take
it away from them and get rich out of
it.
And there is a change coming it is
here.
The farmers don't propose to run
any forcible skin games, but they do
NOT propose that anyone else Bhall
with their products.
The farmers at last realize that all
they have to do is .to organize as the
other fellows do and they can have
at least half of what the other fel
lows are making in speculation off the
stuff they raise, and yet lower the
price to the eaters and wearers.
And they are going to do it.
Oregon farmers are waking up and
they are going to do things. The Eq
uity society gives them the power to
come in for what they are justly en
titled to, and they are going to make
use of that power.
What the farmers of Oregon want
to do is to go slow, careful, and then
everlastingly stick. That is all they
need to do. They don't have to raise
millions to control their output; they
have it in hand. They have simply to
play the cards they have.
The Equity unions are growing.The
farmers have faith in the movement,
and every man is preaching for it.
It can't accomplish all that it is cap
able to bring forth in one season, and
the most of the farmers realize this,
but every day it can grow stronger,
every day it can benefit a little more,
and some of these days it will be in
a position of power to laugh at Wall
Street
Farming would be a mighty good
life if it paid in proportion to other
vnc&tinns. But the farmer never
never .
1 ..1 l. ..,A,t,a AM that i.An '
JtllUWS WI1CII lie nuino u v-iuy
whether it will pay for harvesting or
not. He is at the mercy of the fel
lows who get together. They can give
it out that there is a big potato crop
in the east, that there is over produc
tion, refuse to take the farmers' sup
ply at any price until they have them
scared to death, then buy up the stuff
as they want it and double their mon
ey- . .
With buying and selling agencies;
with organizations that will show the
demand and supply if a state, each
state, and yes, the whole country aft
er a little well the farmer can then
be his own middleman.
The idea is to go slow and go care
ful, avoid internal dissensions, give
and take, grow stronger each week,
and one of these days the farmer will
not need anybody's sympathy.

CLACKAMAS UNION PROTESTS
Does not Understand how This
Clearing House Would Help.
A resolution to the effect that:
Whereas We as members of
Clackamas Local Union (No. 6831)
Farmers Society of Equity, are in
terested in all efforts for the better
ment of marketing our crops; and
Whereas It has come to our not
ice that a company by name of Union
Sales Co., or Clearing-house and
Warehouse Co., (We don't know
which) Inc. of Portland, Ore., has
been organized for the purpose of
handling F. S. E. goods, on, we un
derstand, a practical commission bas
is, and
whereas The i. a. fci. is an or
ganization for the purpose of elimin
ating commission men and middlemen
and marketing their own crops, thru
channels provided by the laws of the
F. S. E., namely the County . Union
and State Union, which can be incor
porated for any and all purposes in
this line, and
Whereas The F. S. E., having in
their by-laws provided us a market
system, we consider the Union Sales
Co., of no practical benefit to the F. S.
E., though posing as its friend, now
therefore be it
Resolved that we, Clackamas Co
unty Local Union, F. S. E., condemn
the Union Sales Co., as having no
part whatever in the F. S. E., in spite
of fine promises, that we indorse the
idea of a selling division, but consider
it should be Society of Equity, and
not Union Sales Co., and be it further
Resolved that this resolution be
incorporated in the minutes of the
meeting, and that a copy be sent the
Secretary of each local union, and one
to the Secretary of the County Union
of Clackamas Co., and one to the

SNAP SHOTS.
Does L. L. Pickens think the dove

house?
Why doesn't Washington County
form her County Union? We are an
xiously waiting.
W ought to form our State Union
before, or at the saw time, as our
Union Sales Co., and one will help
the other and guard each other's in
terests. We are very much in need of a man
under pay of the County Union to do
a great many things that ought to be
done, and it is too expensive to ask
any man to do without pay. He could
get his salary from the business. We
are standing still until this is done on
some plan.
The standing committees of the Co.
Union met in the County court room
as guests of Sheriff Mass. He had
been trying to serve injunctions on
poison oak and had a Tillamook
cheese on his shoulders with a cir
cular smile in the center arouDd the
nose, containing a French briar and
welcomed us, but did not have any
humps on his back and did not claim
to own the court house. We made our
escape in the afternoon wondering
who wrote that stuff about not liking
a fat man.
No. 5
NOT FOR FARMERS.
Court House Refused for Meeting of
County Equity Society.
Ye farmer editor appeared before
Judge Campbell and requested the
use of the court house for our next
county meeting of the Equity. Well,
we got turned down hard and plenty,
The Judge informed us that the court
house was not built for farmers or
farmers' meetings.
When we revived sufficient to look
around we came to the conclusion that
the court house was built for a sup
eranuated lawyers' home; also used
as a sort of pension bureau for broken
down politicians. On the lower floor
is a small corral with a cage annexed
used to herd hayseeds about tax
paying time. You know we still owe
some on our court house. We don't
know how much and can't? find out,
but if we were paid up we probably
would not be allowed inside at all.
Court decisions are sometimes revers
ed and we will meet in our court
house that we built for ourselves and
it is too bad that Judge Campbell can
not be there to welcome us but of
course by that time he will necessar-
illy be OUT.
And when all cases are appealed to
that eternal judge behind the pearly
gates we will not be told that the
mansion built with our hands was not
for honest farmers and their meet
ings, and do you suppose our hearts
will bleed with sorrow for one who
goes another road?

PLAY THE EQUUITY GAME.
Hop Growers of the Valley Should
Get in With this Movement.
Notices have been mailed during
the last week by the hop men-of this
section asking for a meeting of all
growers to see about purchasing their
hop supplies in car loads and thus
cut Out much of the cost to .the grow
ers. '
This is a good beginning and we
would like to see a strong organ
ization of hop men of this valley
formed later as a result of this move
ment.
The hop growers this year lost
thousands of dollars by the manipu
lation of the buyer and if they had
been organized like the apple men, or
wool men, there would not have been
such a stagnant market worked out
to fleece the hop growers.
The hop growers of Oregon should
sell direct to the breweries and not
deal through jobbers and brokers,
where the Dutchman's one per cent is
often secured from the hop grow
ers. Independence Monitor.
But why have yet another organiz
ation when one co-operative effort
would serve all ? Why have the Gran
ge, Farmers' Alliance, Equity Society
hop growers' union and so on?
That is the trouble with the farm
ers and it is the trouble the interests
like to see, for the more associations
they have the less strength they will
have.
The hop growers of the valley had
better get in with the Equity Society.
It has a better plan of organization
and co-operation than the growers
can ever frame up, and it is ready and
working.
Social at Shubel.
A basket social will be held at the
Shubel school house Thursday night,
Feb. 20. A musical and literary pro
gram will be given. Every one will be
insured a good time.
New Era Meeting.
New Era Local will hold a special
meeting at Brown's school house at
8 P. M. Saturday evening, the 15th.
All members and non-members will
be welcome.

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., Oregon 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
of kidney trouble were present. Be
ing advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills
I did 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"
For sale by all dealers. Price 60
cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,

THE MARKET REPORTS
Oregon City Prices for theVarloua
products or tne Farm.
The hop market is practically at a
stand still. In Oregon and in Californ-
na there are some holdings of 1912
hops, but the buyers are not willing
to pay the prices that were quoted
in January, and those holding hops
are not willing to sell their hops any
lower than the prices demanded by
them, and will hold for better pnees
than those quoted by the dealers.
Offers of 14 and 15 cents have been
made for the coming crops in a few
sections, but so far as there is no one
taking up the contracts. The grow
ers who have held onto their hopes
will not sell until spring, when there
i3 some prospect of the prices advanc
ing.
Eggs are down to 30 cents retail,
and no doubt as Easter draws near
the price will gradually drop to a
much lower price than the present
one.
The price of butter remains about
the same and the demand is good.
Although we have experienced
some cold weather the gardeners near
the city are able to bring their daily
supply of fresh vegetables to the loc
al markets. They include: onions,
winter radishes, . parsnips , turnips,
cabbage, cauliflower, and various
other varieties..
