OREGON CITY COURIER, MARCH 14, 1913
L Adam's Dept. Store
Written to Make You Farmers Play
the Game Together.
Here's a little story to put sand in
to you Equity members a true lit
tle story with a powerful big ending,
that happened "way back east" a few
years ago and it was the first Farm
ers Society of Equity.
I will tell it as I heard it but you
can be sure that it is a dead true nar
rative: In western Kentucky is a region of
five counties that is famous for its
tobacco raising. It is the black to
bacco land. The Courier editor has
been in this locality, and knows what
he is writing of.
In 1893 the growers there were
in about the same condition the pro
ducers of Oregon are- in today. They
could raise the finest tobacco on earth
but when they had raised it and sold
it they were no better off than when
they commenced, for the tobacco trust
would only pay them three cents per
pound for the leaf, and they had to
take what was offered just the same
as you berry growers have to take
what the dealers give you every
spring.
Ben Watson was a tobacco grower.
He was just an ordinary plug of a
farmer, and had he received anywhere
near what his crop was worth, he
would have plugged along and this
little story would never have been
written.

the Farmers Society oT Equity
Next year Ben Watson had pounded
it into the farmers' heads to pull to-
gether and pool their tobacco, and
fLl ?L ,i,i m in w.n'
they put the whole crop in Watson's
hands to manage. And then he ad
vertised in the newspapers and sent
notices to the tobacco buyers that he
would be in Louisville on a certain
date, and would consider bids on the
bunch the output of five counties.
He stated that he would sell the en
tire crop, or any part of it to the man
who bid the highest, PROVIDING
that the highest bid was what Watson
though was a fair price for the crop.
The day came and the bidders came
and Ben lined them up along a wall
in a Louisville hotel, made them stand
up and hold their places,, and then he
read them the law the Equity law as
he had made it. He made every man
furnish a sealed and secret bid, and
when they were all in he told the bid
ders they could have a vacation un
til he had considered the bids. The
highest bid was a quarter of a cent
below what he thought was fair for
the work of growing the crop, and he
fired all the bidders, told them their
bids were rejected and that they could
not bid again, and then he went to
the highest bidder and told him to
raise his a Quarter of a cent or the
crop woulerpe nmu uvei 101 anwuwr-f-
year. The bidder wanted tne tooac
co. He wired the company. "Split the
diffrence," came bck the reply.
"Split nothing," said Ben. "You!
take it at this price or you don't take
it at all. We will burn it before we
will thrown off the one-eighth cent."
And he got it. It took sand and de
termination, and it took a lot of hard
and wild work later on to hold the or
ganization together and the most of
you remember the tobacco war in that
state and how it terminated.
Later on when one of the trust buy
ers met Ben Watson he said to him:
"I want to take off my hat to you.
You have cost us thousands and thou
sands of dollars. It would have been
much cheeper for us to have bought
you and stopped the organization."
Last year the tobacco from this
section, sold under a pool, brought
seven and one-half cents a pound a
raise of from three cents and the
price to the consumer is the same.
What do you farmers dig out of this
story? See anything in it that ap
plies to Oregon?
If an organization like this could
compel fair prices in five counties in
Kentucky, don't you believe the same
scheme, the same general plan, could
be made to apply to the Willamette
Valley ?
It's a matter of finding a Ben Wat
son and sticking with him.

Mr. Meredith Tells How the Farmers
Must Play the Game Now.
The Equity's position on the money
question seems to be smoky or at
least not quite clear. One thing sure
the Equity wants is a profit on all
crops and if the banker charges 20
per cent the Equity proposes to add
that to the price of grain or produce.
If the railroad pays three times the
cost of rails, cars and engines, they
add it to the freight and passenger
rates and the Equity, according to
President Everett, says add it 'to the
price of food stuffs and pass it along
to the consumer. The Equity is organ
ized for business purposes as they
are paying all taxers as producers an J
consumers too. We expect to put all
the burden on the unorganized con.
sumer. President Everett says it is
not a question of right but a question
of might, of power,
There are no laws for the benefit
of the farmer but the laws are made
to benefit our powerful corporations
and that is why our wage earners
have had to organize to protect their
wages and the farmer independant of
any or all laws must beat the trust
and the government at their own
game and pass the tax to the con
sumer. ,
It may not be right for the farm
er to set the price on his own labor
or produce but it is certainly wrong
to let the trusts do it. If the railroads
hauling grain it would make no dif.
would simply demand our rights for
prices, but as we have as much pow-
P Qur ice meet
lower the
" , o - H . wp
" . "V "u "
must rasie the price to cover all ex-
penses and charge it up to the con
sumer.
This policy makes us, as Equity
members independant of all money
questions.
But as individuals and parts of the
United States of America it forces us
into a position where everyone must
and ought to be, and that is we must
as parts of the whole people, devise
a system of producing and distribut
ing all wealth where those who pro
duce it get it and those who are idlers
can be starved into usefulness. And
we may do away with money entirely,
so we would be independant of the
money question in this way also.
But we are living in the present, in
the now, and we re not setting the
price, and we are not forcing a just
system from our government because
we are not strong enough in numbers
or united in policy. Then push the
organization and help ourselves as
much as we can and at the same time
help the consumer where it does not
injure us, and we can prepare the
way for a just policy.

A Message to Railroad Men.
E. S. Bacon, 11 Bast St, Bath, Me.,
sends out this warning to railroaders
everywhere. "My work as conductor
caused a chronic inflamation of the
kidneys and I wa miserable and all
played out From the day I began
taking Foley's Kidney Pills-1 began
to regain my strength and I am better
now than I have been for twenty
years-" Try them. For sale by Hunt

You can almost hear the Equity
grow.
If we were making money we would
not be talking about putting in co-op
eration stores.
If we farmers were getting good
prices for our produce we would pay
our grocery bills.
interest on their investment and or
dinary wages ior their work there
never would be an organization of the
Equity.
The Equity is going to make the
farm pay anyway the wheel turns, if
the cost of marketing is lowered we
win and if the cost is increased we
add it to our price and the consumer
will have it to pay and we win.
Our State Union is not yet com
plete. We have no by-laws or even a
committee for same. We have no state
organizer or organ but all of these
things will come in time. The world
was not made in a day.
Congress at last has discovered that
there is a money trust. They know of
no way to remedy the situation by
competition so have adopted Tom
Lawson's scheme to bar them the use
of the mails.
Our post office department seems to
be the strongest branch of our govern
ment. It puts the Louisiana lottery
out of business and if it busts the
board of trade and the money trust
Congress, the president and the Su
preme Court can go way back and
sit down.
The farmers and other taxpayers of
Clackamas county would like to know
and would be willing to pay from our
company fund to find out if our rec
ords were well balanced and our
company's business honestly and econ-
omiclly administered. We are very
suspicious of late and every honest
public servant in our court house
ought to favor and work to have an
expert audit books.
We frequently read in the Oregon-
ian and other papers about the mil
lions of people Oregon could feed and
clothe in peace and plenty and we
Equity people believe they told the
truth but what we want them to tell
us now is why are we, who are dig
ging out this wealth in such a won
derful climate and soil, perpet
ually treading the feathery edge of
poverty ?

A. J. LEWIS ADVICE.
A Common Sense Appeal to Common
Sense Farmers or the Equity.
To the Members of the Farmers
Society of Equity: Greetings broth
ers. I think there is a good deal of mis
understanding m our Society about
the intended workings of the Union
Sales Co., or the Equity Warehouse
Co., that is being talked of in Port
land. It seems to me as if such an
organization is indispensable to us
there has been some objection to such
a movement because it does not be
long to the Society of Equity.
The plan, as I understand it, is
something like this: That we, as mem
bers of the Society, incorporate a
stock company to dispose of our prod
ucts and purchase our supplies. In
order to do this it becomes necessary
to have some working capital to se
cure which, shares of stock will be
sold to members of the society, only
the said shares to be $5.00 each as no
one member can buy more than 20
$100.00 worth upon which shall be
paid 5 per cent interest. The expense
of running the business shall be deriv
ed from warehouse charges or a com
mission if you please to call it jthat.
The business shall be managed by
a board of directors and an advising
board of trustees. The directors shall
be elected from the stockholders and
the advisory board shall consist of
one member from each local.
All the details of the business shall
be decided upon by the stockholders
themselves upon the permanent or
ganization of the company. Every
member of every local may and
should become a stockholder and may
do so by subscribing for at least one
share of stock at the par value of
$5.00.
It seems to me that such a com
pany is comprehensive enough to sat
isfy the most critical, as it includes
every member of the Farmers Soc
iety of Equity in the Northwest.
We must have some business center
and Portland certainly is that center
in this locality. The only way we can
do anything for ourselves is to meet
organization by organization and we
must have a good, strong live one at
that. One that can compel its member
ship to be loyal and live up to its
requirements. We can't go it alone.
We have been trying that all these
years and our present condition is the
result. Remember this movement can
only be financed and controlled by the
Society and they can do it just as
they see fit. No outside clique, or in
side either for that matter, can have
a word to say about the management
as they are absolutely controlled by
a majority of the stockholding mem
bers. I don't care what you name it You
can call it a commission house if you
will, but let it be OURS controlled by
the Society that is to supply its busi
ness. No honest farmer objects to a reas
onable commission for getting his
products to the consumer. What we do
object to is confiscation added to a
reasonable commission.
When I think what that bunch of
crooks on Front St., Portland have
been doing to us for the last 10 or 12
years it makes ifle feel like trying to
cut them out at least. How about it?
Don't you feel that way yourself?
And the only way we can do it is by
organization. Organization. I want to
r,epeat that so it may soak in. I don't
know what we should pay a man to
manage such a business but I do know
that we should get a man who un
derstands all the tricks of the trade.
One who is bisr and brainy enough to
do business the way business is done
at this time. I don't mean dishonest
business but in a "BustnBHS"
other words get the BEST man in
Portland if we can.
How many of you, who have been
doing business with Portland com
mission men knew what they were
doing in the way of restraint of trade
for' the last 10 years.till just recently ?
And you don't know now and never
will know the whole story. Do you
suppose they will be honest now just
because they have been whitewashed
by. paying a small fine, not one-hundredth
part of their ill gotten gains,
from their manipulation of YOUR
business, because they did not mean
to be bad? O bah! It makes me
sick.
Now Brothers, let's stop knocking
and all pull together. That's the only
way that leads to success and pros
perity. We all know what lies the oth
er way. Yours for good strong, united
action,

Continued weaknoss in the Chicago

still after wheat at current prices.
The present wheat prices on the coast
would justify a material advance in
patent flour quotations, but as the
wheat market here is nearly ten cents
above Chicago some of the millers
assert that any rise in Portland flour
would furnish the means for Montana
and other Eastern flour entering this
