A prominent member some time
ago made up a list of groceries need
ed by him and presented to a local
merchant for a n.gnre which was
readily supplied. This Equity who
was not of the more faithful tribe
and of a curious nature decided to pre
sent a duplicate list to a larger store
in a larger city and upon receipt of
the latter's figures, made the pur
chase. After paying railroad fair of
BO cents and all freight charges he
had a net saving of over $5 on a $25
order. These are facts and should set
the farmers to thinking. It pays to
be curious. We are not trying to in
jure any local merchant but we are
playing the farmers game and it is
just as fair for us to try and save
$5.00 as it is for the merchants to pay
the farmers as little as they can for
his produce and then charge him as
high as he will stand it for what he
buys. The moral of this story is,
"Locals must buy collectively for the
members and where the prices are
the lowest
' An article in the Morning Enter
prise bearing date of May 7, 1913,
and stating that Fred Archilles of
Willamette, had cut his first crop of
alfalfa from a seven acre field on the
first day of May and that the aver
age heighth was thirty inches, has
caused much comment among the
real farmers of Clackamas County
They seem to think that such is news
paper farming. In the article it was
intimated that O. E. Freytag was re
sponsible for the information, but op
presenting the matter to lfim he
positively declines the honor. The
Enterprise is certainly a "booster"
if you can call that boosting, but we
would suggest that such stories be
avoided as we are reliably informed
that the gentleman has only, a few
bunches of alfalfa and the May Day
cutting was made with a JACK
KNIFE. We only wish the dream
were true. Alfalfa is a great feed.

Will Have Business Agent
Be it resolved that the president be
empowered to appoint two men to act
with himself as a committee on bus
iness for this local and that the com
mittee be authorized to employ a bus
iness agent who may or may not, be
one of their number and whose duty
it shall be, to buy and sell for the
members, and to do any other busi
ness that in the judgement of the
committee may seem, profitable and
beneficial to the members. 1
Be it further resolved that this
committee be authorized to collect a
commission for buying and selling suf
f icient to carry on the business, the
same to be paid into the local treas
ury. The agent to be paid for his
work a sum not to exceed the amount
callected from the business.
Be it further resolved that at any
regular or special meeting the mem
bers may by a majority vote instruct
the committee or by the same vote
overule anything done by them.
Damascus Local
Editor Equity News the Courier.
Oregon City, Oregon.
Dear Sir: ,
Damascus Local Union No. 6835
met in regular session in Mellien's
hall May 15, 1913. All the officers
were present and 15 members out of
a total of 30 belonging to the local.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
Applications were received for three
new members. A vote was 'taken
and alt three were accepted. Com
munications were read from our coun
ty president and from the secretary
of Maple Lane Local in regard to hold
ing.our Equity Fourth of July cele
bration. All members present were
strongly in favor of the proposition
under certain conditions.
As we have not been represented in
our official paper for some time it will
not be amiss to let our brothers know
what we have been doing for the bene
fit of our members. Our local pur
chased a car of flour and feed and
saved the members at least 20 per
cent on this one purchase. We have
also purchased other goods saving
from 10 to as high as 37 per cent.
We have not done much yet in the
marketing line only among our own
members. We find our sales sheet a
great help to dispose of any article
we have for sale among our mem
bers and have made purchases and
sales to members of other locals by
this means.
At our meeting May 1st, we had our
National organizer, Mr. Cutting come
out and address a large meeting of
neighbors. He spoke for nearly two
hours strictly on Equity lines and was
given very close attention. He cer
tainly did justice to his subject. We
hope he will come again for the far
mers need educating. We are taking
in a few members and expect to keep
plodding along until we get them all.
Our sales sheet is as follows:
One 3-year old colt, draft; one 20
H. P. International Harvester Co.
gasoline traction engine in first class
condition; one Southwick H. P. hay
baler; one No. 40 Oliver Chilled plow

dition; one 4-year old draft horse; one
fresh milk cow; one farm of 60 acres,
43 acres under cultivation, good build

Equity and Co-operation
Equity and co-operation for Aurora!
Aurora is one of the best situated
towns in the wonderful Willamette
Valley. It is surrounded by the best
land to be found anywhere. This sec
tion is an ideal place for diversified
farming. The production of hops is
one of the specialized industries, and
our hops are equal to those of any
other locality, if not better. For these
there is a wide market.
But for other products grown here
we need dilterent metnoas. rnis
brings us back to equity and cooper
ation. The dairy bsiness is as yet in its
infancy", but is wholly beyond the exr
perimental stage and has proven to be
one of the paying industries of the
farm, yet we hear more or less com
plaint from those in the business, for
there is room for unfairness in the
present system of marketing the
dairymens' products. One is in the
testing, and still another in the sweet
cream shining. One is often satisfied
that the cream is received sweet, but
you get returns for sour cream.
Now what can be done in the inter
est of equity and co-operation ? Why a
Troest or a Jones either for that mat
ter, to build an Aurora creamery or a
cold storage plant? If the outsider
builds one and we patronize him
(which we will) we pay for the plant,
and that in a short time, as the dairy
business is but half what it will be
in the near future.
The question may be asked, What
of the equity and what is it doing? To
accomplish results seventy or eighty
per cent of the people of the com
munity ought to co-operate. The
Equity does not propose to 'eliminate
the middle man, but rather to be the
middleman, to a great extent at least.

EQUITY WILL CELEBRATE
Big Fourth of July Picnic and Sports
at New Era
The ball is now rolling and every
Equity member is going to stay be
hind it and keep it rolling until we
all gather at New Era for the big
Fourth of July picnic.
The committee composed of John
Wallace, H. T. Burr, A. J. Kelnhofer,
George Oglesby and M. J. Lazelle
who have the picnic in charge met in
the Commercial Club rooms in Ore
gon City last Tuesday and made pre
liminary arrangements for the first
big gathering of all the Equity peo
ple ever held in the state of Oregon.
After due consideration it was de
cided that the New Era Camp
grounds are the most beautiful in
the county and are known to thous
ands who attend the Camp Meeting
every summer. The fir grove, well
kept picnic grounds, convenient place
for horses and autos, open air speak
ing platform and seating facilities all
combined with the central location,
were strong factors in causing the
committee to decide upon New Era.
The Clackamas Local on the north
and the Needy local on the south are
about equally distanced but none are
so far away but what they can cotne
and they all will come. All the
Equity people will be on hand and all
of their friends and then there will be
other people come too, all to join in
and have a big basket dinner in the
grove, hear some good speaking and
music, watch the automobile race or
the tug of war contests among the
strong men of, Clackamas County, or
perhaps they will care to take part in
the dancing in the afternoon or the
grand ball in the evening.
The committee has been divided into
committees of one with the power of
calling on any member of the county
for assistance. The sub-committees
are as follows: M. J. Lazelle, who
seemed to be the youngest member of
the committee was placed in charge
of the dancing pavillion and imme
diately assured the committee that
this part of the program would be
well cared for. John Wallace who is
an ex-athelete and performer was
placed in charge of the amusements
and after much discussion and plead
ing on the part of Mr. Walalce, he
was also given the management of
the baby show. Mr. Kelenhofer who
is noted for his literary ability will
will arrange for the speakers and
other features of the program. Mr.
George Oglesby gill be grand mar
shal of the day and will personally
meet every one and welcome them to
the Equity gala day.
The committees were instructed to
get busy and they all will. If any
one has a suggestion to offer, they
should also get busy and send the
same to the propetr committee. The
various locals are instructed to take
the matter up and plan some special
feature of amusement of advertise
ment of their own to put on at the
picnic.
Mr. Lindahl's letter is as folkws:
The Farmers Society of Equity,
Oregon City, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
It has been mentioned by our hon
orable vice president, Geo. Lazelle,
of your city, that you desire to hold
your Fourth of July picnic on the
New Era Spiritualist Comp Grounds,
and will state that you are perfectly
welcome to the use of the camp for
that day and I shall be glad to come
and celebrate with you.
Very truly yours,
M. J. LINDAHL,
President New Era CampAsso.
The committees acceptance ad
dressed to Mr. Lindahl was as fol
lows: Mr. M. J. Lindahl, President,

Dear Sir:
We have received your kind In
vitation to hold our Equity Fourth
Picnic on your groundsat New Era
In accepting this offer we wish to
extend to you our sincerest thanks
and assure vou that we greatly ap
preciate your co-operation.
We will endeavor to have a most
enjoyable occasion and trust that
many of your people will be with us.
Very sincerely,

Secretry Committee
Mt. Pleasant Local
The Mt. Pleasant Local convened
in regular session last Friday night
with practically all members pres
ent. Probably the most important busi
ness transacted was the arrangement
inaugurated by which the business
of the local will be done through a
business committee. The committee
is composed of P. W. Meredith, F. G.
Buchanan and A. H. Harvey.
A motion prevailed endorsing .New
Era as an ideal location for the 4th
of July picnic and all members were
enthusiastic over the event.
P. W. Rose and J. Lowering were
added to membership. At every
meeting some new converts are added.
A delegation from Maple Lane was
present, composed of F. E. Parker,
S. D. Barney, John btark, tr. r .
Mighles and August Splinter. They
had many good ideas and plans were
laid for the two locals working to
gether in varions matters.
. The matter of hauling produce to
market with an auto truck was dis
cussed but many thought the plan
premature but eventually this would
be auite practical.
A. A. Pease advocated the use of
wagons and the delivering of the far
mers produce direct to the consumers
and the plan received much support
The wagon plan will be tried out with
the initial trio this week, tne sue-
cess of this plan will be published
from time to time to give the other
locals the benefit of the experience.
PERSONAL
SPLINTERS
Farmers t o the front in all things.
96 senators in U. S. Senate, 74 are
lawyers.
434 U. S. Representatives and 290
are lawyers.
This is why laws favoring the far
mer are unconstitutional. Too many
E. B's in our alphabet.
This is why money is protected and
the people ae not.
This is why our produce is forced
through the many grafting machines
to find the consumer.
Our millionaires have gained con
trol of everything by organizing and
setting the price.
If you successfully combat this ma
chine you will have to adopt their
methods.
If you don't combat the machine
they will skin you a little deeper every
year.
They are making their boasts now
that we farmers will take less for our
produce this year than ever before.
It would not be hard to figure the
cost of - the lawyers to Clackamas
County, but the hardest job would be
to figure out any benefit they are to
the taxpayers.
Some day we will not have it said
in our faces that they have better gov
ernment in Australia, New Zealand,
and Canada than they have in Oregon.
But the farmer will have to let loose
of the plow handles long enough to re
build what his fathers built years ago.
In some counties in the middle west
they have farm advisors or county
agents. Sears Roebuck & Co. put up
one million -dollars to pay these salar
ies. The Harvester Trust did the same
and now the farmers have discovreed
that these' agents are organized with
the State . Agricultural Department.
These agents are not allowed to use
the county papers to advise the far
mers without it being censured by the
state and Wash., D C. It seems to
be a tight organization for the trusts
and of no value to the farmer. This is
like, most of the jokers our lawyers
invent for our benefit. The next move
will be to get some E. B's to investi
gate and report.
When wheat goes down and flour
goes up some organization is driving a
wedge that does not benefit the pro
ducer or consumer.
The Fruit Grower and Farmer,
printed at St. Joseph, Mo., says that
for a month or more Bermuda onions
could not be obtained at any price and
at the same time they were selling by
the car load in Philadelphia for less
than the freight charges from the
Texan farmers. When the farmer gets
organized and builds his own market
machine these things will be adjusted
to benefit both the producer and the
consumer.
Railroads spend a good deal of mon
ey every year running demonstration
trains for the farmers to teach them;
how to raise more stuff. Now to some
farmers this looks like the railroads
were running benevolent institutions
but they add the- cost to the freight
rate and make the farmers pay it.
And if they find out that the farmer
is making a profit they raise the rate
and even now they are charging more
for short hauls than long ones and
discriminating against many localit
ies. We have an Interstate Commerce
Commission, but they have permitted
the railroads to favor the trusts
against the farmers and the writer
believes that the railroads have made
a sort of national organization or
clearing house out of our commerce
commission for their own benefit.
I wonder if their big salaried organ
izers are prohibited from mixing in
politics ?
MEREDITH
Equity Warehouse Company
In a recent communication address
ed to the business committee of the
Mt Pleasant Local, Mr. A. R. Lyman
secretary of the Equity Warehouse
ComDanv. states that it will prob
ably not be in a position to handle
this vear's crop of berries, as the new
concern is just getting started, there
fore he suggests that other arrang
ments be made.
The Warehouse Company will soon
be operating though, and then it will
be that the Equity Society will grow.
Much depends upon this part of the
business as a clearing house in Port
land is indispensible.
Suggests Cooperative Bank
A letter from Mr. George Watch
man of Needy and addressed to our
editor, contains sqme very practical
ideas, so we are therefore taking the
liberty of publishing the same which
is as follows:
Dear Sir:
Please find enclosed a clipping from
Farm and Fireside, of May 10th 1913.
This tells of better market system and
of farm credits. You will notice that
the Jew farmers have 17 cooperative
banks in the U. S. A.
Now then let us start an Equity
cooperative bank at Portland. To my
notion a bank of this kind will be the
thing in connection with our Equity
warehouse company. Our equity ware
house will be in operation pretty soon
so let us have a co-operative bank by.,
all means. .
It looks bad to see the Jews ahead
of us, so let us Equity farmers of Or
egon have a cooperative bank in the
U. S. A. What do you think about it?
Yours truly,
GEORGE WACHTMAN
P. S. The farmers around Hubbard
are talking about a farmers' cream
ery. I would like to see an equity or
ganized at Hubbard.- .
.We would like to say, Mr. Wacht
man. that the farmers in the vicinity
of Hubbard should not hesitate with
OPINION
WHERE THE FARMER LOSES
Consumers' Prices Increase, Produc
ers Prices Fall, and Farmer is
to Blame
Statistics show us that the average
price of farm products in the United
States increased six tenths of one per
cent during February 1913, compared
to three and two tenths per cent one
year ago. On March first staple farm
products averaged twenty-one and
seven-tenths per cent lower than on
like date a year ago, nearly four per
cent less than 1911, nineteen per
cent less than on like date a year ago
and nearly four per cent less than
1911, nineteen per cent less than in
1910, ten per cent lower than 1909
with a like decrease for the previous
year. A continual depreciation during
the past five years.
As I figure it out the . consumers'
prices on the necessity of life for the
past five years has as a whole, stead
ily increased while the producers'
values have as steadily decreased.
But slight investigation is necessary
to enable us to locate the leak, the
middleman. As a class the farmer is
familiar with the conditions, but is
slow to adopt measures to overcome
this trouble. Could fifty per cent of
the produce producers be prevailed
upon to withhold the sale of their
products for ninety days, possibly a
less time, commercial interests would
be in quest of it with the inquiry:
"what's your price?"
But there's the pinch. Yeu can't
just yet control the farmer.
B. F. Yoakum at the head of the
great Frisco railway system figures
that the manufacturer of farm ma
chinery works three hours to earn
one dollar; wagon and harness mak
ers three and a half; railroad em
ployees engaged in hauling farm pro
duce to market two and one-half
hours, while the farmer works ten
hours to accomplish the same results
and asks the question: "Is such a
division of the product of labor fair ?
Have the men whom these six and
one-half million farm owners elected
to represent them in Congress given
them due consideration?".
W. A. Doods represented Warner
Grange at the State Convention held
at Albany last week.

The ladies' suprise party on Mrs.
Tom Kelland last Saturday afternoon
was a social success, notwithstand

er, McCord, Thompson, Lazelle, Ben
tly, Harvey .Jack, Dodds, Reed and
Kline, with Miss Ruby McCord and
Alta Ramsly of this community, Mrs.
Clinton Black tind Mrs. Robecker of
Oregon City composed the party. Re
freshments were served, while con
vxersation and fancy needleework
contributed to the other pleasures of
the occasion.
George Lazelle did shopping In
Portland Saturday.
Friendship is an assett too often
lightly considered.
The ladies are contemplating the
organization of a club to be knownas

to assure them that it meets with
our hearty applause.
L. E. Bently's mother died at her
home in Marquam at ten o'clock Tues
day morning after a lingering illness
of many months' duration. Mrs. Ben
tly was 69 years of age and had been
a resident of Oregon for 40 years.
She was one of those old fashioned
women, endowed with the faculty of
endearing herself to her acquaintan
ces and as a result left many warm
friends surrounding her during her
last days. Mr. Bently and family
have the sympathy of a host of
friends in this vicinity, in their be
reavement. The first church service of the sea
son was conducted at the hall last
Sabbath by Mr. Purcell of Oregon
City with an attendance of possibly
fifty. Mr. Bently deserves credit for
the inauguration of the much needed
service, which will continue through
the summer.

GRANGE WILL CELEBRATE
Editor Courier:
I suppose some of your many read
ers would like to know something
about Highland Grange No. 281. I
take this method of informing them
that Highland Grange is situated
about fourteen miles south-east of
Oregon City at what is known as
Clarkes. We have been like deep
water moving right along but it is
time the outside world should know
about us.
We have been increasing in mem
bership to quite an extent by both
initiative and reinstating.
Our next grange day which is the
first Saturday in June, will be Chil
drens' Day, when we will do what we
can to interest the little folks.
In a few days after Childrens' Day
we intend to begin remodelling our
hall by adding twenty feet to its
present length, making it sixty feet
long, then raising it about nine feet,
and building a basement below to be
used as a dining room and kitchen.
When we have this completed we will
have the best hall in this part of the
county, and on the Fourth of July we
intend to give a celebration that will
make the old pioneers feel like boys
again, and we'll wind up with a big
dance in our hall at night.
The committee on management will
give due notice of programme when
all will have a very cordial invitation
to meet with us and find out how
good we can treat you. This will be
our first attempt at giving a cele
bration and we expect to make it a
howling success. We have a brass
band organized in our grange which
is being instructed by a competent
teacher, and we expect to furnish
us with up to date music on the Fou
rth of July, so everybody come and
hear the booming of the big drum.
The time is not yet set but this
fall we are to have a Highland Gran
ge fair for the members and their
children. The childrens' exhibit will
be the main feature of this fair and
already some of the little tots have
planted vegetables and are feeding
"That's the sixth Studebaker we've
passed the only kind to invest in"
The only kind because, as I always say, when
a man puts money in a thing he wants to know that
he's going to get the worth of it out again."
"That's plain business as I look at it."
"That's why I say the price doesn't tell you any
thing nt all. There's only one thing that talks except
the wagon itself. That's the name of the maker."
"When you buy a Studebaker you're buying a
vehicle that has behind it and in it sixty years of ex
periencesixty years of success and sixty years of
reputation for the square deal. That's why a Stude
baker always looks good to me."
"My father used to lay that Studebaker honor was ai mre
ai United States bank note. He wu talking after having used
Studebaker vehicles since he was a lad, and he told me his father
before him said, 'Be safe get a Studebaker.' "
"Vehicle builders can't hold that sort of reputation now-a-days
without delivering the goods. A Studebaker wagon has the
but in it That's why man gets tho moj( out of it why it's
always an economy."
- "Dealers may say to you something else is 'just as good. But
when you buy a Studebaker, you're making uio investment
