THE BUSY CORNER
Vol. 1
AN EQUITY TALK
The next meeting of the county un
ion at Carus should be a red letter
day. It would seem the most import
ant one for this year. One of the per
plexing questions up for solution will
be regarding a selling agency. A
method must be devised to carry out
the marketing idea, which is the key
note of Equity.
. "Starting a store," has always been
the most alluring idea in all co-operative
societies. It looks easy. Many
other farmer movements have taken a
chance at it, for the most part to be
doomed to failure. Not that there is
anything wrong with the co-operation
' but because the support was lacking.
: To my mind it were best for us not
to go out to meet disaster, but to fol
low the idea worked out by the nat
ional organization. It seems, if fol
lowed out, to insure success without
incurring the outlay of capital and
'consequent risk of failure that would
be part of the venture of starting a
store. There are an abundant number
of stores in Oregon City in fact far
.too many already for the population
and business to be done. Suppose that
we just establish a gelling agency
"thru our own store and instead of our
own store canvass the local merchants
as to the best terms obtainable for
.such merchandise as we may use.
I have never discussed this phase of
the problem with any merchant but I
believe we can secure better - rates
than we are now getting if we do all
our trading at one or at most two
stores, instead of trading at all of
them as we do now. Then the same
merchant could also act as our Sell
ing agent for farm produce.
I admit it woidd be better to have
an equity store all our own as is ad
vocated by some enthusiasts, however
this organization is young and we
we have not as yet the habit to co
operate in commercial enterprise.
Farmers living principally by them
selves and working alone do not so
readily take up co-operative enter
prises as wage workers who work in
groups.
The keynote of all equity literature
is to look out for the selling problem;
see that we locate the demand to
come to us,all of which requires a
pretty thorough organization, which
takes time to put into operation.
Take for example our experience
with the Courier. Had we attempted
to establish a paper it would have
required a large outlay of capital, a
long time to get the plant in operat
ion and a subscription list is not a
simple matter by any means, no mat
ter how desirable , a publication is
gotten out. As matters stand we get
the use of the best established paper
in the county with its large circulat
ion and most important of all we
have the use of that paper absolutely
FREE. .
The same principles applies in some
respects at least, toward tlw fctore
proposition, only there seems to be a
peculiar charm in regard to a store,
perhaps because of the uncertainly
of the venture.
. Before me lies a small pamphlet
from Equity headquarters entitled
"The High Cost of Living, How to
Cure It," wherein is a plan to reduce
the living expences to the consumer,
thru organizing that end of the farm
problems and having organized a
city district and a branch of the leag
ue will be established there. This will
be brought about by the officers ask
ing the present grocers to bid on
supplying league families. The lowest
and best bid to get the contract You
will note that no attempt is being
made to establish another store in
the already overcrowded store busi
ness. .
I say, Equity Farmers, at the Car
us meeting, better not rush at a prob
able failure now. at the very begining
for you will discourage all attempts
at co-operation for a long time. Stick
to the Equity Selling Agency planl

EDITORIALS
The farmers are investigating.
Now watch the politicians hunt
cover. v , '
If the farmers just keep it up they
are liable to get their own salaries
raised.
Beween two grafts a regular pol
itician is likely to try for both and
without investigation he will get
away with it. ' .
The unorganized farmer can be
robbed in open daylight with every
body looking on but he cannot defend
himself. , .
"The love of money is the root of
all evil," but Supt. Gary will take a
little more of the root please.
Did Judge Beatie ever stand pat on
a bob-tailed flush or drop his wad on
three duces? This is a cold deck for
the committee to report on, on the
side.' T
There seems to be a difference in
the price ol steel, depending on
whether it is to be bolted together or
rivited. The hayseeds seem to think
they do both here in Clackamas coun
ty.
Why can we buy raisins and salt
in Canby cheaper than in Oregon
City? If it is because they pay less
rent then can we go to Portland and
save money on a roll of fence wire ?
Brother Schuebel has hit upon the
right thing at the right time. Let us
organize ourselves into a seperate
body from the Equity. or Grange for
the purpose of taking up these polit
ical matters and then we will feel free
to say and do what we feel some hes
itancy in our Equity. And besides the
Equity will have, all it can do to at
tend to the market question. , '
The County Union meets this Sat
urday, the 12th, and will be allowed
five or six delegates to the state
meeting in Portland the 18th.
It depends on these meetings just
how the State ship of Equity will be
launched.
We may make some mistakes, but
the less the better, and we will all
learn by experience as we move along.
Delegates should attend.
The Eauitv has errown to sufficient
size to be a big factor commercially
and Doliticallv and as it crrows it will
become more and more so and we are
now at the point where the real work
of our Union must be done by direct
ors, managers and committees .and
your editor thinks we should have a
legislative committee of three to work
with the Oranp-a committee and' oth
ers and unite us all on the same de
mands.
There is a lot of work ahead of the
Equity and a great deal of this work
requires above all else, good judge
ment. Good judgement is business ab
ility and we find it is .-, as common
among farmers as it is among other
classes. :
If the producer is organized and has
produce to sell that the consumer,,
who is organized, wants to buy, just
imagine the bushels of self-conceit it
requires for a so-called business man
to make the deal and take his big
commission or salary. The mental
strain on this man . must be some
thing awful. Of course this would be
utterly impossible of any man who
had ever warmed his bare feet where
the old cow slept. '
The Equity page of the Courier has
been open and you have read the
other fellow's opinion ; and it has
hurt no one and we would not like to
see any Russian censorship attempt
ed here. Any one who cannot defend
his honest opinions by honest ; argu
ment with his pen had better not try
any underhanded schemes to throttle
our press. Of course there, are a few
articles coming to the editor's . desk
that should not go into cold type, but
on the whole they are very few and
far between.
We farmer readers prefer a free
press and will sort these articles as
we would our apples or potatoes.' We
have been made poor by a con
tinual stream of misinformation dish
ed at us by a subsadized press owned
and edited by the trusts.
Next week your editor will be re
lieved of the responsibility of the
Equity page and this responsibility
must be shouldered by others. We
have in our Equity writers of ability
who could make our page more and
more interesting to our members and
the general public. It is my opinion
that the success of the Courier is due
in a great measure letting the sub
scribers edit part of the pages..
Now instead of one editor let's have
as many as possible for our Equity
page. On May 2 we would lika as
many articles from Farmer's wives
and daughters as the Equity page can
hold. There are surely in the Grange
and Equity a sufficient number to
give us a splendid page.
Your hayseed editor had his hide
taken off last week by a litererary
trust formed out in the foothills of
Clackamas county. You might find
his epidermis on Brother Harris or
Young's smoke house. It is sad indeed
to have your journalistic career sud
denly cut short by a merciless home
grown trust And over the graves of
our blasted hopes we think Nature
will produce in the shadowy stillness
of our foothills; in the mirrored beau
ty of our mighty Cascades, an eter
nal crop of for-get-me-nots and save
the O. A. C. and this literary trust
the expense of an epitaph.
Brother Young has been horn-
swaggled by the O. A. C. until he can
pay only half fare. Now the Courier
office is in receipt of a very much bet
ter proposition direct from our O. A,
C. and as we are very much opposed
to keeping up so many agents and
middlemen, we are compelled to
ignore any of Brother Young's half
fare propositions.
MEREDITH.
WANTS A CELEBRATION
Mr.
Wallace Thinks F. S. E. Should
Observe the Fourth
Some of our brothers seem to think
we have so many things to work
against, the F. S. E. Not in my mind.
All we have, is our brother farmer,
who we have not reached yet, but nev
er mind, we will have a chat with
them and try and explain things the
way we see them, and we will be glad
to have you with us. I do not think a
dozen organizers would be in the way
of each other in this county. If some
good man does not take it up, I think
I will try and see if I can do some
good in the way of the F. S.' E.
5 I see we are only twenty years be
hind the times now. It hurts me to
think that mankind thinks that the
farmers are made of trashy stuff; sec
ond and third growth timber, and
have not the brains to do their own
business. I cannot see it that way.
It is a fact that most of our best
men come from the farm and we have
plenty of them yet.
How nice it will be when we can
thank the middleman for wha the has
done for us in the way of taking our
produce off our hands. We know he is
an expense and worry.
When we are as one we can buy
from the producer and factories and
sell our produce direct to the consum
er. When we are willing to work for
our own good. It has more than paid
its own way for me. It is all one-sid
ed in favor of F. S. E. Who is it that
will not lend a helping hand?
As this move is aimed to brine the
farmers together, I, for one would
like to see a good Fourth of July eel
ebration; like the farmers can have;
good speaking, dinner and a general
good time.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CAST ORIA
GIVE O. A. C. SQUARE DEAL
Mr. Harris Defends College and Asks
Meredith Some Questions
Oregon City, Ore,
Apri 17, 1913.
Mr. Meredith is evidently out of
mud for the present so I would like
to ask him to substantiate some of
the statements that he has made.
In the Courier of the 28th appears
a letter written by some walking pil
lar of wisdom. He says there is no use
teaching us things that we already
know. This is quite true, but I don't
know of anyone that denies it How
ever some of us are not as fortunate
as this man. We must at times con
fess that we have more to learn even
about farming.
Again he states that the boys and
girls would learn more about farming
by going out into the fields and doing
a few hours work each day. I am
from Missouri and I would like to
have some of the subjects named that
could be learned to better advantage
in the fields.
It is strange to say the least that
a thinking man would even intimate
that the present spud situation is due
to 0. A. C. In my opinion it is due to
the disposition of people to run a good
thing into the ground coupled togeth
er with the fact that the last season
was favorable to the development of
a large potato crop.
By the way, this same disposition
to run a good thing into the ground
would get away with the Farmers
Society of Equity if all of it's mem
bers were the same as Mr. Meredith.
He states that the demonstration
farm, idea is fundamentally wrong. I
would like to know just how and why
it is wrong if it is.
He states that the farmers have
demonstrated their ability to grow
crops enough to glut all the markets
in the U. S. I will quote a circular
sent from headquarters of the F. S. E
"Every year some crops are over
produced or this is claimed. But rare
ly is true."
He states that our land is running
down under the teaching of the ag
ricultural college. I will challenge him
to show me one man who is following
the methods advocated by the agricul
tural college and who's farm is at the
same time running down.
He admits that .we can double or
treble the yield per acre. If so, why
not do it? We would certainly get
greater efficiency of production in
that way. As I understand it, it is the
purpose of the F. S. E. to withhold
surplus produce from the market in
cases where there happens to be ex
cessive production. It appears to. me
just as practical to control the supply
by showing that it is his advantage to
put in a smaller acreage as it is to
limit the amount he can put on the
market after he has produced it A
dollar saved by efficient production is
just as good as a dollar saved by eff
icient marketing. I see no objection
to it.
Until a farm will pay interest on
the investment and wages as well it
is not on a par with other lines of
business. I heard a man say just a
few days since that he cut twelve bu.
of oats per acre. Makes no difference
what price he receives he will not ac
cumulate a fortune very rapidly un
less he has something more than eff
icient marketing. What is the use of
saving a dollar in marketing and
wasting it in production?
He states that 0. A. C. and the
trusts have the money making prob
lem solved to suit them. I would like
to know just how and why O. A. C.
is connected with the trusts.
If he thinks 0. A. C. is in a rut,
what rut has he reference to, and why
does he think Bhe is in that rut?
He states that 0. A. C. is working
from xne wrong end. I believe that
0. A. C. is working from both ends.
We all. know that she is teaching
methods of getting greater efficiency
of production. This is in accord with
the views of "UP-TO-DATE-FARMING."
I will quote line from page 20
of the issue of March 15. "Every
local union should make a study of
economical production."
That she teaches the business side
of farming is proved by the facts
that courses are given at the college
on business methods. Again, I have
before me a bulletin devoted to mar
keting problems, entitled, "The Busi
ness Side of Farming."
If more production is going to ruin
the country it seems to me that the
the clearing of land should be stop
ped. It might also be well to call a
halt on the reclamation of arid lands
by irrigation and of swamp land by
drainage. In other words it looks as
though there is more horse sense in
stopping those things which make for
increased production alone instead of
trying to belittle a worthy institution
which is striving to help us reach the
same ends as are the goal of F. S. E.
Give 0. A. C. a square deal. If she
falls then, all right let her go. But it
is my humble prediction that she will
be standing long after Mr. Meredith
is through competing with the dagoes
and chinks.
Very respectfully,
W. W. HARRIS

No. 10
MR. GILL'S LETTER
(Continued from Page 1)
the house made a record not to its
credit in my way of looking at it, of
passing favorably and unfavorably
120 bills. ,
The people, last November, after
80 days of study, passed on 38 meas
ures in the span of a day. Delegated
government has its undeniable faults.
What of the- commission form of
government proposed by Gov. Hodge,
of Kansas, or Bigelow of Portland?
That is still delegated government.
It will reduce the evils of the system
by centralizing the authority in a few
men but will add in additional disad
vantage by increasing the difficulty
of a recall, and putting the commiss
ioners farther from the pulse of the
people. It may improve but it will not
accomplish what its advocates expect
of it
If you abolish the legislature which
is the delegated government you may
just as well go the whole hog, bristles,
squeal and all. No one has yet otter
ed any substitute for delegated gov
ernment. To handle the needed legis
lation of a rapidly growing state is a
large task. The last assembly consid
ered 970 bills, 392 of which reached
the governor's office.
I believe I have thought out a
workable substitute for the legislat
ive assembly. My ideas come origin
ally from the New England town
meeting.
First I think the state should be
districted into precincts not to exceed
100 voters in each. Each precinct shall
have an organization with a presiding
officer, recording secretary, election
officers, etc., who. shall serve without
pay, as a public and patriotic duty.
Meetings shall be held quarterly
in the evening, and all measures sub
mitted to the people shall come before
these- meetings for explanation and
discussion. At the close of the discuss
ion the people in the meeting vote up
on the bills. I have thought that desks
could be provided so that each person
might vote as secretly as now, but all
voters would be furnished ballots at
the same time. The balloting would
occupy but a short time. There would
be very little expense to such an el
ection. The peoples' interest in government
affairs would be kept up all the time,
not spasmodically every two years.
In order to have a short ballot in
the election of county and state offic
ers two or three of these officers
might be elected at each of these
quarterly elections. In this ' way the
people would carefully examine the
qualifications of the candidates for
these offices with the result that they
would make wiser selections.
Should such a system be adopted it
would be necessary to reduce the per
centage of the legal voters required
to initiate a bill or amendment. 1,000
to 2,000 signatures should be enough
to put a measure up before these
elections Under such a system there
would be no referendum and no vetoes
and the majority of those voting
would decide the fate of every bill.
The people would make and unmake
all the laws. They would ' accept the
result of their own work and be satis
fied.
The voters' "pamphlet as now pro
vided, would be of great value under
such a system. A peoples' gazeteer,
such as furnished by the Peoples'
Power League two years ago would
be very valuable.
These ideas came to my mind only
last week, so that at best they are
crude. I have not worked out the de
tails of the plan. I am offering them
now to arouse discussion and thought
along these lines.
If a workable plan that will pro
duce better results than the legislat
ure can be worked out whether along
these lines I suggest or along some
other, I am willing that the legislat
ure be abolished. I am not willing to
abolish it until a workable subsitute
be found for it. I am not loyal to the
idea of a legislature as a legislature.
I have Been a good deal in my terms
as a law maker.
I am unqualifiedly in favor of abol
ishing the state senate. It is as use
less as a fifth wheel to a wagon. It
impeached itself by its work in the
last session.

The first strawberries of the seas
on to arrive in the market were from
Louisianna on Saturday, retailing at
20 and 35 per box. The berries were of
good flavor and in excellent condit
ion upon their arrival here. The local
merchants who had them for sale
were able to dispose of them at the
price asked.
Eggs have been from 15 cents to
20 cents. There is a good demand for
fresh ranch eggs.
Rhubarb is coming into the market
in good lots and retailing at 6 cents
per pound.
Fresh vegetables are plentiful in
the market
Many of the farmers of the county
are complaining because of the
weather and of the late spring. The
ground is too wet to do any plowing
and in nearly all section of the coun
