JOHN STARK'S COMMENTS
There seems to be a voodoo at the
White House. People residing there
do such queer things very much like
the remarkable things baby does and
Yon remember what strange
things were done by the Taft fmily
when that guilty and gutty glutton
occupied the executive chair? the
same condition remains at present.
Not long ago Mrs. Wilson went to
buy a new bonnet, instead 01 iu.no

You hear complaints against the
acts of corporations. The government
whatever that is, is always unuuB
steps for vigorous measures against
them, but pernaps you jiuu i.ucu
that without my calling your spec
ial attention to that fact, uia you ou
serve any benefit to yourself from
any of those efforts, or any detriment
to comorations? Whatever power
mmorations have, are derived from
tho franchise or government charter.
Now, it is a simple matter if, as
is generally believed, tne acts 01 cui
porations are inimical to the interests
of the people to prevent the corporat
ions from so doing. All tmu is neces'
anrv is for the government to can
cel the charter. That Deing done the
corporations can no longer act in any
capacity; it ends their existence. It
will be observed no such measures are
taken, for the simple reason that tne
corporations control the acts of gov
ernment officials. In fact the govern
ment officials are the great public
committee thru which the corporat
ions officially act.
The time will come when that
method will be adopted. Then what
ever property is now claimed by cor
porations will escneat to tne puunc.
It will be confiscated by the govern
ment because there is no longer any
one holding legal title to it.
Now all corporations are heavily
watered; are submerged in debt; the
interest is charged up to the public
in a general way, that is to say you
and I must pay that interest whether
we will or not.
Whenever that step ia taken all
these debts will be repudiated or in
other Words cancelled. There is no
other, solution possible. No other final
solution. All other experiments will
fail. There is only one class to put
that solution to test, that is the work
ing class, who will do so just as soon
as they comprehend that they are
called upon by economic evolution to
seize the reins of the government. No
faction of the capitalists are capable
for the undertaking, no matter who
their leader is, or by what party they
call themselves.
Anarchy
Editor Courier: "
Here is a farmer's definition of conditions:
Anarchy is a theory of abolishing
all forms of government and let the
individual govern himself. In opposit
ion to this theory is another called
socialism, which Webster defines as a
theory of regenerating society by a
more equal distribution .of property.
Or, in other words, to produce and
distribute all things by national co
operation. This would mean that the
individual would be a part of the ma
chine that did it all.
Now as your paper is the official
organ of a cooperative body of farm
ers I would like to say to the farmer
on the outside that he is promoting
anarchy to stay out and helping soc
ialism to go in, and either one of these
names will scare him to death and the
Dresent svstem is starving him to
death. He finds a few bankers are
controlling our government's money
which is anarchy and he wants the
people to control it, which is social
ism. He finds a few individuals con
trol the rairoads and water the stock
and levy the rates, and control our
government, which is nnarchy and
he wants the government to own and
control them and levy the rate and
that is socialism.
The farmer finds our government
full of graft, from President down to
school director and that is anarchy,
and he is opposed to that. He wants
all government so administered as to
protect all alike and that is socialism
Republicanism means that our laws
should be made and executed by men
elected by the people, but we find
that they are bought and sold by a
few millionaires which are promoting
anarchy.
To take all profits away from our
government and trade and let it re
main with the people promotes social
ism.
Democracy means majority rule but
the majority does not rule. Money
rules and belongs to individuals and
promotes anarchy and to take this
power away from the individual
and give it to the people would pro
mote socialism.
The progressives took 21 planks
from the socialists and the rest from
the capitalists and just what their
theory of government is is hard to
determine.
The farmer under our present sys
tern cannot sell his produce for
enough money to buy back his just
share of what we all produce, neither
can any other worker so there is go
ing to be a change.
If the farmers and others are
ready for cooperation they should
join some union to promote it.
If they are in favor of anarchy
join nothing and you have it.
A. MEMBER
Women workers at St. Louis stated
that Sunday was their busy day with
them as they did their washing, iron
ing, mending and other personal af
fairs on that day. They had no money
to go to Forest Park, had not even
an idea where it was; could not even
get time to go to church. Here's a
bet the employer was wheezing and
puffing in the front pew and also
found car fare to the park, unless he
went in his auto. That is the fate of
honest toil and virtues reward. Had
these women chosen to self heir souls
hey could have leisure.
These are some of he things which
these are some of the things which
you uphold with your votes. Don't
you think it is time to change the ec
onomic system that produces such re
sults? That ia one reason why the
powers that be have opposed votes
for women, fearing these sisters
would make better use, of the power
than their brothers have done, Watch
the women in England when they get
the vote they will make good use of
it. They are fighting for it.

What is the Matter?

Editor Courier:
What is the matter with the oat
market in Oregon City? We hear
two farmers from Clarkes are haul
ing oats to Canby, getting more for
them there than is offered in Ore
gon City. These men have a rock road
to O. C, but the difference in price
induces them to turn off the im
proved road and travel across road,
unimproved for several miles to get
to Canby.
Oregon City is their market place.
A good improved road reaching from
Oregon City to their farms and yet
they are paid so much more by mer
chants of Canby that they can afford
to haul further, over a very rough un
improved road. A Farmer
