LET'S DO THINGS
Time for the Equity to Get Down to
Practical Ways and Means
Editor Courier:
As the time has just about arrived
when the county organization of the
Fanners Society of Equity will meet
aeain to formulate plans for active
work towards making the society ef
fective for the purpose it is intended
for.
Mum! TflH iral members carry the
iHfia that this society when fully or
ganized will be in a position to con
trol the prices of their product and
force the consumer to pay any price
that they may dictate. Do they real
ize that many of the producers are
just as much under the necessity of
selling their products when market
able, at whatever prices they can ob
tain in order to purchase the necess
ities for themselves as the consum
ers is to buy; whereas the products
in other localities which transportat
ion has made nossible that there is
not a time at any season of the year
but can be put on the market in com
petition with any product of this
northwest and the supply and demand
cannot be ignored as factors in regu
lating prices.
It cannot but be admitted that co
oporation in the disposing of farm
products can be made profitable to
the producers with less trouble. Fruit
growers obtain much better prices for
their fruit through a co-operative
society which collects and grades the
fruit suitable for the market demands
and markets in the best markets..
There is no co-operative bond of un
ion like a common material interest
there is nothing which binds people so
closely together and abidingly and
which so effectually nerves them to
persevere in a common effort, all of
which are necessities to co-operation.
While our county organization nas
months
ket only that of good quality. When
you have the quantity a market can
can always be found for anything
that can be produced.
This co-operative movement is not
confined to the producers, only the
consumers are realizing that they can
unite in buying their supplies co-operatively
more direct from the produc
ers and eliminate in many instances
the different channels thru which the
produce passes before reaching the
consumer.
Co-operation in buying of supplies
is a tried, successfull operation as
the people of Portland are beginning
to realize,
The first Mutualist Association of
Portland are now operating a line for
stores where a dividend is paid to
its members on the amount of goods
purchased by each member which is
done every three months, which is
practically a rebate after deducting
operating expenses and a ten per cent
of the profit put into a reserve fund,
and are meeting with great success in
every particular.
They have adopted the same system
as the Rochdale system in England,
Scotland and Wales, which has been
in operation for 60 years and now
represent an invested capital of over
1,5,00,000,000 dollars, produced entir
ely from their savings.
They manufacture every line of
goods. Wholesale and own ships for
transportating their imports, besides
operating plantations and they are
now engaged in producing farm pro
ducts co-operatively.

their stores at Albina, Wichita, Sell-

A STATE MARKET
One of the Benefits that Can Come
With Organization
Governor McGovern, of Wisconsin,
sent a message to tne legislature oi
that state, the 17th , and urged the
creatiort of a state market to am tne
farmers. He also sent a Dili inai ne
drafted himself, providing the aetaus
of its management.
This state market is to be governed
by five commissioners, three aairy
and two other commissioners.
This commission is to have power
to prevent monopoly and combinat
ions in food stuffs detrimental to the
peoole. To benefit the producer and
consumer alike and to promote econ
omical distribution of all commodities
Also to aid in the organization ot
en.nnerative enterprises and to issue
bulletins of instructions for the same,
Also to crive advice and information
in regard to markets and to establish
market news.
Now this shows that Governor Mc-
Oovern has some interest in the peo
ple and we are all sorry to say that
but few governors pay any attention
to what would benefit the farmer or
the people working for wages, who
are the consumers. It may be that the
nation and the state can be of much
help to the farmer and consumer to
defend them against tne trusts ana
high cost of living but we think the
farmer, while he should favor any
move in this direction at tne same
time he must organize and stay or
ganized and stick together so as to be
able to work with the State and Nat
ional governments.
It is only the organized iarmer
that the governor and railroads can.
deal with. .
We have so many so-called laws
supposed to be in favor of the farm
er that turn out to be aids to the
trusts that the farmer must organize
and stay organized and use his own
market machine and also the states
in his favor instead of the trusts

and save the
state several hundreds of dollars by
going in the game. I suggest that the
Equity editor make the trip at once,
if he wishes we will go along and
help him. The sooner he takes the
"plunge" the sooner will some of his
muddy colored ideas be washed away.
"Our state appropriates large sums
to our O. A. C. to pave the streets
of Corvallis." The Equity editor
might also absorb a little information
along this line after' he has had his
bath. In fact he could find many
thines the girls and also the boys,
have done to help things aiong,
"Our O. A. C. want all our money
to entertain the manufacturers' as
sociation and then make fun of us for
not having automobiles." Just above
these lines the editor styles himself
the hayseed editor. The name surely
fits for who else would have such a
wonderfully brilliant idea? the
ducking" might also brighten this
point a bit. .
The editor nas tne ngnt iaea auoui
the hogs and the berries and the
numbers of spuds it takes to educate
boy at O. A. C. 1 have seen it tried
and it works fine. The editor can do
no better for himself, Ihis boy or hu
manity, than to count out the spuds
at once and start out his boy to col
lege now before he absorbs too much
from his father.
If the Courier is too fine a paper to
carry the uouege s aaverusemeiii,
why does it stoop so low as to throw
mud at the same? "Space in the
Courier is too valuable for that."
I suppose "just nonsense," belongs
to the editor also. Surely he spent a
ereat deal of time to think of that.
His only mistake was in not placing
it at the head of those two columns.
His views and comments would be
well classified then.
Why limit the hours to four or six
a day Mr. Editor? Wouldn't it be
better to make it twelve or fourteen
as the farmer does who . knows more
than the dressed up teachers? Why
set the days at five? Your man
in overalls and jumper puts in seven
as a rule. Why not try out your plan
on your own boy and girl, if you are
so blessed, so the world may judge
t.ViA wonderful results 7 if you don t
agree to a proportion of this kind it is

wav of the working man's progress.
Brother Harris used a line Drana oi
lineament for four years and, has nev
er given it up since. I have seen it
work on many others and although
the Equity Editor's case may be rath
er doubtful I know it can be highly
recommended.
"It is time for the Equity Society
of Clackamas county to blow away
this nonsence." WELL SAID.
"Now is the time to do business
cut out the criticism, get together
and auit tearing down and to build
up.". GREAT.
"Let's have an Equity paper that
will advance the national plan rather
than to gratify the groutches."
THIS IS A SPLENDID IDEAL.
If the Courier's Equity Editor wish
es to visit the institution at Corvallis
I will be glad to furnish half of the
car fare and go with him on his tour
of inspection.

EQUITY.
Dr. C. G. Hopkins, chief in agron
omy of the Illinois4 State College of
Agriculture, says on page eight of our
national organ that 650 manufactur
ers of commercial fertilizers formed a
trust and employ some of the so-called
professors of our agricultural col
leges to help them sell their stuff to
the farmers. The Indiana experiment
station has proven that it does not
pay to use it. The unorganized farmer
cannot defend himself against such
gangs.
Our Equity page is becoming
more ana more interesting ana it is
open to both sides of all questions
and has created a good aeal or out
side interest in our Equity and calls
are constantly coming in for organ
izers and Clackamas county is the
strongest Equity county in the state.
A county organization without an
official organ can exist but it accom
plishes but little and that little slow
because you must depend on letters in
mails to reach your members, and the
same for your ansewr.
