The high cost of selling makes the
high cost of buying and living.
When the organized , farmer gets
wise he will get everything else he
wants.
If a farmer fails to think for him
.self he ought to expect nothing bet
ter than, to have to work for the fel
low who does.
Our Agricultural College entertains
in fine style our manufacturers' As
sociation. And who pays for it? You
like it do you ?
Our government has changed hands
and the question is: will the former
get any more considertion now than
in the past? If not, it ought tft change
hands gaain.
We farmers are Equity farmers
and we believe in Equity in business;
in profits; in sharing the good of this
life and labor, but it begins to look
like a great many bad laws must be
killed before we can get it.
The Minnesota State University is
preparing to lease a number of farms
which will be managed by some of
its graduates, who will receive a per
cent of the produce for their work.
It is hoped that the reminder of the
produce will pay all the expenses of
the University.
Twenty-two O. A. C. students ap
Deared in public without their green
caps and a vigilance committee of up-
per classmen tooK tnem out ana
"ducked" them. We farmers might
stop a good deal of lobbying and save
the state several hundreds of dol
lars by going down there and join
in the game
Our state appropriates large sums
te our 0. A. C. to pave the streets of
Corvallis and the girl students are
weary of waiting for all the red tape
of politics get their wheelbarrows and
fix the street while our well paid, well
dressed employees down there lobby
for more taxes from we hayseeds.
Tf unit want, cnmo vnlnnVkla nnintjirs
on home canning of fruit, vegetables ,
& ' .
or meat, write to Department of Ag
riculture, Washington D. C, and ask
for Farmers' Bulletin No. 521. It is
free and will help solve the market
ing problem.
President Wilson invited senator
LaFollette to a conference and it is
stated that they will work together
and divide patronage. Now when such
things as this occur in this United
States of America, a hayseed editor
can't tell what kind of weather we
are going to have.
Some of the plutocratic Shylocks
are kicking because the law compels
them to pay the women and girls
who work for them not less than ten
dollars per week.- 01 you fat .blood
suckers, go to any livery barn and
find out what it costs per week to
feed a jackass, iley!
The Farmers' . Co-operative Society
of Rockport, Iowa, last year did a
business of more than $600,000.
England, about five years ago, be
gan a series of purchases of some of
the big landed estates which are sold
on time to working men at one per
cent interest. The government retains
a half interest.
"""" And the Portland Automobile Club
wants to hand us the Barlow Road
lemon at $12,000 per year. And we
have no automobiles, we hare only a
few judges and a lot of potatoes and
can't get rid of either. No, Mr. Wem
me, our O. A. C. wauts all our money
to entertain the manufacturers' as
sociation and then make fun of us
for not having automobiles. The doc
tors' trust have the automobiles and
we have typhoid and smallpox.
When Judge Beatie is relegated
back to the farm he will be a hayseed
and join the Equity and he will want
the court-house to meet in and if
there is another judge that has to be
relegated in order to get it I guess he
could count on ths Grange and Equity
to stand by him. You see it all de
pends on whose ox is. gored, it is the
"system" that we must fight and
fight hard and we farmers are going
to stick together until we are- victor
ious. Noah J. Beckner, of Mabton, Wash.,
writes: "There - were many fruit
growers in this valley last year who
did not even attempt to pick and mar
ket the fine crops of fruit they had. I
saw last fall, I daresay hundreds of
acres in the Yakima Valley, bending
trees heavily laden with thousands of
tons of as fine apples as ever grew,
and a few perhaps would be picked
and put away in storage for the use
of a family during the winter months,
and the balance of the crop would re
main untouched, except for the bands
of hogs that were turned loose in
these orchards. Farmers have told
me they would be glad to get six dol
lars a ton for potatoes."
They have some awfully smart men
down at our O. A. C. Now to prove
it they advertise in the Enterprise
in order to reach the farmer. And in
that ad they tell us hayseeds, just
how foolish we are for having mort
gages and not having automobiles;
they say in order for us to get rich
we must keep a record of our busin
ess transactions. I suppose they mean
for us to put down the date we turn
ed the hogs in oar potatoes and when
berries went to fifty cents a crate.
And how many sacks of spuds it takes
to educate our boy at O. A. C.
In that ad they say large crops of
ten result in serious loss to society,
as a whole. Now they offer no rem
edy and are they going to continue
to teach more production ? They think
they must teach something while they
spend that half million, if it is noth
ing more than baseball or basket ball,
which is no better than horse-shoes or
mumble-peg. Let the town-people
read it, space in the Courier is too
valuable for such nonsence as that
MEREDITH.
SOMETHING BESIDE SPUDS
Time to Raise Something Else in Old
Clackamas County.
What we Equity farmers want is
MONEY and what we have to have is
MONEY and when we get it we can
buy anything that our needs or fancy
calls for. Our National Government
says we cannot buy or sell or do any-
business without tne legal tenders to
pay for it. Our state says you must
have MONEY to pay your debts and
taxes. Your mortgage calls for gold
and money you must have in order to
live. At the present time we farmers
have food stuffs by car-loads and cot
ton and wool by thousands of bales;
we have fed and clothed the people
and have plenty of cotton and potat
oes lett.
We send to other countries thous
ands and thousands of tons of our
produce and yet a third of us receive
less than two hundred and fifty dol
lars per year.
Now this shows the people don't
care much for foods and clothes or
that the- farmer is selling them too
cheap to buy what the other fellow
has to sell that the farmer has to
have and business has come to almost
a standstill so we start out to find
out what is the matter.
The- consumer says our stuff, is too
hiffh and that they have not the
MONEY to buy with.
And we farmers know that we have
not the- MONEY to buy with. Give us
all MONEY to buy with and we would
buv all the good things that we pro
duce for each other. What has become
of all our money ? Where has it gone ?
How are we going to get that money
l.back into our
circulation and into
our pociceis .'
We must get it away from the big
banks and money trust of New York
City, Chicago and other centers and
prevent it from getting DacK tnere.
Brother Farmer, can you do it by
hard labor raising more spuds or will
you have to do something in politics
and do like the other fellow did who
got all the MONEY?
When these fellows want a few
millions they go down to Congress
and ask for it, and get it.
They don't raise spuds or lambs or
work anything but their brains and
Congress.
Here in uregon tney asK our L,eg-
islture for a few hundred thousand,
and rra if That la anaipr rhan rnlslno
and get it That is easier than raising
oats and hogs. And here in Clacka
mas county they go to our county
judges and get warrants on our
treasury as long as there is any mon
ey there.
And what have we people of Clack
amas county to show for it all ? A few
questionable bridges, a timber cruis
er, a board of health, school commiss
ioners, rised salaries and scarlet fev
er. We have a court-house and judges
that won't let us in it.
Is it not aKout time we raised a
little something besides spuds ?
MEREDITH.
JUST NONSENSE
What's the Use of Telling Us What
. We Know?
If our teachers in our O. A. C.
know so much about successful farm
ing and are worth so. awful much in
that capacity we are in favor of the
State of Oregon setting aside for
use as many acres as they need for
that purpose and have each male
student get right out and work four
or six hours every day, five days in
the week free to the college and the
girls the same in the domestic
science department.
Let them raise," manufacture and
sell everything produced; pay no tax
es and keep every cent of the profits
for salaries to the professors and if
any money is left after the profess
ors get all they want, turn it into
the state. In this way the boys and
girls would learn a great deal more
more about farming and it would
stop these hayseeds fr,om bawling so
loud about the big appropriations ev
ery year.
If they don't agree to a proposition
of this kind it is proof that they don't
know as much as the average farm
er, as we have to buy our land and
pay our hired men and hired girls,
and pay our taxes nd keep up these
big propositions for this college be
sides. COUNTY UNION MAY 12.
Many Important Matters to Come Be
fore Equity Society.
The regular quarterly meeting of
the Farmers Society of Equity has
been called for Cams, April 12, and it
is hoped that there will be a large at
tendance as many matters of interest
to the farmers will be taken up at
this meeting Every local in the coun
ty should be represented.
Your editor got the idea somehow
that a man. to teach farming, should
wear overalls and jumpers. It seems
we must get rid of that idea somehow
and we wonder what kind of linea
ment Brother Harris used.
When a farmer can get a chance to
sell a load of hay he can get as much
as seven dollars per ton F. 0. B. cars,
which means about the cost of pro
duction. Aside from these insignifi
cant prices, the high cost of irrigat
ion, maintainance fees, high rates of
usury (called interest) on his mort
gage, and last he has to pay his con
fiscating taxes.
"The people have come to realize
they cannot afford to own property
under such a system."
Your hayseed editor thinks that
what these people need is a half mill
ion dollar agricultural college to
teach them how to raise more stuff ? ?
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 I togan
to regain my strength and I am better
now than I have' - been for twenty
years.." Try them? For sale by Hunt

MONEY TRUST MOVES.
How the Government Aids Trust to
Get Us Both Ways.
We farmers deposit our money in
our local banks (borrowed money of
course) and our local bank sends big
i . -. . i i i n .
cnunKS oi it to some utg Dims in run
land to draft on and the big banks in
Portland send it to New York for a
clearing house account and our nat
ional government has been using
these big banks for depositones. bo
you see a few directors of a few big
banks in New York City control the
money market.
Now suppose you and I had con
trol of the money market for a few
davs. wouldn t we make the American
people pay us a big sum for the right
to do business? Well, so does-Morgan
and his crowd and we hayseeds foot
the bill directly in big interest and
profits and indirectly in interest and
selling our produce below cost of
raising ti. How are we going to stop
it? Why, this way! Have our treas
ury department instead of loaning or
depositing our money in the big
banks for them to use free, loan to
us at two per cent on long time
loans. Fix the law so our local banks
could deposit with our Postal Sav
ings Banks and draft from them in
stead of some Portland or New York
bank. Our governor could use the de
posits in our Postal Banks to. buy up
bonds that are costing so much inter
est and get our government out of
debt, also I would like to see our
States, Counties, Cities, and our
school districts out of bondage as well
as ourselves. And I would like to see
our Treasury Department helping
the farmer and wage earner more
and the money trust less, but we
must organize and demand these
things like the other fellows did. If
we don't our Congress and President
will think we are stand-patters and
are in love with the present system,
money trust and all.

A CITY AGENCY.
Store for Farmers and ; Selling
agency for Produce Under Way.
At the recent meeting at Maple
Lane the matter of having a seling
angency for produce, and an Equity
store in connection, where the com
mon necessities, flour, feed, etc.,
should be carried, was endorsed and a
proposition to sell stock to form such
an organization will be taken up.
An option on a building in Oregon
City has been securedand a meeting
will be held April 2 to further take up
the matter, and it is hoped that other
locals will attend the meeting, and
join the movement
The proposition is to establish a
selling agency to handle the fruit and
farmers' produce from a central
point and to cut out the peddling from
store to store. An auto truck propo
sition to be used between the agency
and Portland is also being talked of,
to take care of the sruplus stock.

"PLAY BALL."
It is time for the Equity Society
of Clackamas county to blow away
the nonsense, and get down , to a def
inite policy and play ball. .-.
The Equity locals , have been run
ning around likes a bunch of sheep the
coyotes have scattered, each one hunt
ing its own safety. Now it is time to
have a head, a certain definite policy,
all go to and play for an end that will
bring results.
This page - has been opened for
three months for any man to express
his views and to bring out his ideas.
Now it is time to do business, cut
out criticism, get together, quit tear
ing down and to build up.
Until we have solidity and are pull
ing for a certain, definite end we will
not amount to any more tnan a learn
er in a cvclone.
We have got to do things and get
things, or very soon interest win lax,
the Society will be laughed at and it
will die the same old natural death
that the most of the farmers' organ
izations die of.
From now on let's make this page
a push instead of a drag.
Let s build Bp ana quit tauit iind-
mg. Let s have team work, a code ot
signals and if necessary make a sac-
tilice hit once in a while.
Let's have an Equity paper that
will advance the national plan rather
than to gratify groutches
Let s take orders and know where
we are at. Let us make thu page a
power for making the Society strong
er. Let's cut out all little petty, bick
ering and get to the big end of this
game.
"Play ball."
COLTON.
It seems that the State Convention
was declared out of order, and on
what ground, I would ask? Those
things are for the members in general
it seems to me.
There was a long letter sent to our
Local last meeting, delineating on the
warehouse, and urging the members
to take stock. '
Now here is the plan as I under-
stnd it: It is the invisible supply.
that fixes the price of a commodity
on the market and the visible supply
is that portion that goes on the mar
ket more than the demand calls for.
Now when we are strong enough to
control that visible supply we need
not care who knows about the amount
for then we can build warehouses,
cold storage plants, canneries or any
thing that we want, but until then
we had better hire a man; rent an of
fice; put in telephones and fixtures;
start the man to reporting the condi
tions of the markets and tell the
members when to ship and when to
hold their produce so ' a? to control
as far as possible that visible supply.
Now as to the cost: There were for
one delegates at the convention and I
guessed that there were . an "average
of twenty members to the local which
would make in all eight hundred and
twenty, or say eight hundred even at
one cent per day apiece would be
eight dollars that should maintain the
office for starter any way.
Then when we want a warehouse,
look on page 113, of the third power
and you will see this' question: How
will the Society secure money to
build warehouses, etc? and then on
the next page there is an "illustration
something like this:
Barley 119,000,000, by setting aside
ten cents per bu. would be 119,000,000
dollars, and potatoes .. 273,000,000 bu.
so that is the plan to get what we
want in the way of buildings of any
kind we need.
Now, men, let us study the plan
and follow it closely and if we like it
then stick to St and enlarge on it. The
plan looks good to me, very good.
G. E. ROGERS.
Note In reply to the above com
ment regarding the state conventioin
being out of order, the Courier editor
has taken the matter - up with head
quarters and finds that it is simply a
rumor without foundation., ;. . .
MILK DEALERS TO LAUGH.
It is now the opportunity for the
milk delers in Portland to laugh.
Their assertions that the milkmen
could never get together were correct
Being farmers they have lived up to
the traditions that they cannot organ
ize for their own improvement or
benefit. They had a brilliant oppor
tunity but only a few of them were
able to sieze it when it was within
their grasp. Thus it is with the farm
ers everywhere, and they are led to
the slaughter by the exploiter from
the citv. The farmer is the "fall truy"
of the- middleman, and he has only
himself to blame in most instances
for the position he is in. Some day he
will know better but the present gen
eration will be too old to benefit by
the knowledge. Gresham Outlook.
The Outlook states some plain
truths in the above, but spoils it by
the statement that . the farmer will
never learn. There never was a time
when the farmer is learning and do
ing so fast as now, and the Courier
knows that not only the present gen
eration but the very near future will
see him organized and staying organ
ized. An Illustration. .
We adopted the Courier as our of
ficial organ and we got our paper
the best in Oregon, and all the money
we out in was half what the paper
would cost us the old way. We did not
have to build a building ,buy presses
and paper; hire an editor nd press
man. - Now why can't we apply a little of
this kind of business judgement on a
few other things?
Same Old Round.
What are we farmers going to do ?
Why! we are going to pay our taxes.
Yes! and vote for farmers to go to
the legislature to appropriate that
money back to the people so we can
pay our taxes again. Now if these
grafting politicians want money let
them earn it, working for the people
instead of the trusts.
More next week. Subscribe for the
I Courier and keep up with the process.

Work, Fight and Stick.
There can be no conditions in Ore
gon so bad politically or comercially
that we farmers can not fix up and
make Oregon the finest place for any
body to live, even a hayseed. But we
must stick and fight for it and will
get neip, lots of it. Just ST1UK.I

Vegetables of manv kinds are to be
found in the markets this week, and
are finding good demand.
Potatoes are at their lowest prices
and many of the farmers are glad to
give the product away. . In some pla
ces they, are selling for 25 cents per
sack, while the most are bringing
45 cents and 50 cents.
A few Oregon hops sold during the
week. Joe Williams pf Carlton, sold
118 bales of hops to T. A. Lively &
