EDITORIALS
The farmers all ver the world are
organizing.
The Equity is not doing one-tenth
part of the business that we will do
when our county unions all have first
class agents who will work in con
nection with our central clearing house
m Portland.
Can you 'imagine the immense am
ount of fruit, vegetables, eggs, milk,
butter and meat that could be pro
duced in this grand Wil'amette Val
ley if the farmers were allowed a
good profit?
The most important things to hu
manity, materially, is food, clothes.
fuel and shelter. This is the wealth
of the human family and here in the
Willamette Valley the people who
produce these things are poor and the
rich are people who produce nothing
that helps the human tamuy to live
and enjoy life. Something wrong!
The Equity of Clackamas county
must begin in time to organize the
small fruit growers for next year's
crop. We know where the berries
will be, now find the profitable mar
ket. Up in the Yakima country and
around Kennewick the farmers sold
1200 crates and received for canning
$1.44 per crate net f. o. b. For me
diums $1.69 and for fancy lot $3.60
per crate and WE.sold for 75c to $1.
A well-dressed man of Portland was
complaining to a prominent lawyer in
the Yeon building the other day of
the 1. W. W s not working. The law
yer replied that this building is chock
full of men. who never worked, won't
work and never will work." There are
hundreds of easier ways to make
money. Graft it?
It begins to look as though 1913
would hold the record for strikes,
lockouts, investigations, graft, and
low prices for farmers' produce. With
food getting cheaper in the farmers'
hands and .dearer in the consumers'
handls nobody could blame the far
mer and consumer for going on a
strike if it would do any good. We
must do something before conditions
get worse. Organize.
Clackamas County has about 25
unions with about 500 members. Our
county business agent has sold to our
members nearly one thousand dollars
worth of binder twine alone, and sav
ed our members nearly one hundred
dollars on this one item. We have in
this state an incorporated Equity
Warehouse Co., that will in a week or
two be ready for business in the city
of Portland, backed by about 1500
members in the state.
Thef armer used to get 5 cents per
quart for his milk and he delivered it
to the consumer. But one day an agent
agreed to pay him four and a half
cents and take the milk at the farm,
so the farmer agreed. But other
agents did the same thing and then
the agents organized and now they
pay the farmer 3 cents per quart and
charge the consumer 9 cents for
water and all.
Just such a market system as this
has caused the city consumer to be
lieve that the farmer is the cause of
the high cost of living.
Our O. A. C. advocates building si
los and filling them with insilage as
the cheapest feed for milch cows.
But under this insane mtthod of sell
ing milk the farmer could never pay
for his silo with 3 cent milk. Organ
ize and change the system.
The Farmers Society of Equity of
the State of Oregon has decided to
have a legislature committee, resi
dent Grisenthwaite will toon appoint
them and we would suggest that they
frame a bill for our legislature to al
low our Agricultural College to de
vote about fifty per cent of their ap
propriations to scientific marketing of
what they teach us how to praouce.
That's Equity.
Another thing they could do would
be to encourage our U. S. senators and
representotives from Oregon to elim
inate the restrictions for manufactur
ing denatured alcohol. We farmers
could eet a profit from our potatoes
and compete with the Standard Oil
Co. in furnishing auto s witn a better
power and later on we might be able
to buy an auto for ourselves. Stick
tight to the organization.
The cotton crop of the U. S. is
worth every year about one billion
dollars. Sometimes a bumper crop
brings the farmer less money than a
short crop. The railroads make more
money out of a big crop. The specu
lator makes more money out of a big
crop and so does the manufacturer,
but the farmer gets his profits from
a short crop because the crop is ex
pensive to pick and bale and market.
It is estimated that the farmers
could save 75 million dollars every
year on the marketing of their cotton
crop alone if they were organized and
cooperate.
Are we farmers not a lot of suck
ers for not telling Congress how to
loan money direct to us like they do to
bankers and whiskey makers. We
could have saved the expense of one
hundred men going to Europ e and
traveling all over those countries ask
ing those people how our people can
do something for ourselves,
The Polk County Itemizer says:
The fact that onions from Texas, po
tatoes from California and eggs and
poultry from points outside of Oregon
are being received in Portland and
in carload lots while the farmers in
the immediate vicinity as well as those
tributary to the railroads leading to
this market cannot find a market for
their produce at any price has led the
Portland Realty Board to actively
take up the question of establishing
public markets where gardners and
farmers may dispose of their products
direct to the consumer with great ben
efit to both. It is stated that the fact
that the farmers cannot sell their own
crops in Portland without a license,
and the further fact that the commis
sion men will not buy from him ex
cept at their own prices, is causing
many farmers to allow fruits and
vegetables to go to waste rather than
dispose of them at a loss.
This is partly what is wrong but
who would have ever thought that
any good would have come out of a
Portland Realty Board. NEXT!
All the smart lawyers in Oreeon
can't justify this action in the mind of
the man who reasons ana tmnks.
Because other counties up the val
ley let private contracts is absolutely
no justification tor judge rJeatie.
If Linn County got trimmed that is
no reason why Clacks mas county
should be trimmed, too.
Because Giteau murdered a presi
dent you have no right to shoot Wil
son. Such awful small prices for the
farmers' produce proves we should
organize.
Such awful high prices for what
we have to buy proves that the other
fellow is pretty well organized.
Now is time farmers are wanting
to be organized. The Equity should
take advantage of this opportunity.
The Farmers' Society of Equity has
three states organized. Oklahoma,
Idaho and Oregon, with organizers in
nearly all other "states.
There are some prospects now from
the looks of the Farmers' Society of
Equity, that we, the Haves of the
country, will get our eyes open to a
certain extent at least.
We farmers of Clackamas County
and other property owners were tax
ed last year over a half million dol
lars. Now, brother farmer, how many
of those dollars come back to you?
What have you to show forit?
The taxpayers of Clackamas County
ought to send a crowd of polticians to
the Fifi islands or somewhere to find
out how we can get some benefit out
of $600,000 taxes.
The Clear Creek Creamery Co. of
Clackamas county is an example of
what farmers can do when they or
ganize and cooperate. The product of
this institution is nearing the one
hundred thousand dollar mark.
The State Grange has a legislative
committee, and come to think about it
wouldn't it be a good scheme to coop
erate with these grangers and put a
few good laws on our books and take
a few bad ones off? Don't you think
it will pay to stay with the organizat
ion and help organize the rest of our
csountry ?
Congress has done a lot of investi
gating and it will soon be time to tell
us just how many $ each one gets
out of all those dirty deals. Then I
suppose they will appoint about one
hundred men on a commission to come
to Clackamas County to find out how
to get signers to a recall petition.
Besides the animal part of humanity
they tell us there is an intellectual or
spiritual part. Civilization, progress
and all improvement to the race de
pends on how this spiritual part is
developed. Education ih nature, liter
ature, music and improvements in co
operative production and distribution
requires happiness, leisure and frefr;
dom for each and every member of
all society.

Mr. P. W. Meredith,
Oregon City, Ore.
Dear Sir:
This acknowleges yours of the 21st.
Contents noted, and always glad to
hear from you.
Mr. Meredith, if you can supply us
with the Constitution anj By-Laws in
force at the present lime for the
Equity Warehouse Company at Port
land, please send a copy by early
mail.
Mr. Meredith, I cannot understand
why there should be any lack of un
derstanding about the duty of the
Oregon State Union to complete the
organization in your statet We have
noticed that the work was practically
at a standstill, and must say that this
is to be regretted very much. We will
do as you requesed, and write to the
Secretary and the President and Nat
ional organizer Cutting, who is still
in Oregon, to get busy on organizing.
I have grave fears for your cooperat
ive efforts through the Equity Ex
change if the organization is not ex
tended and the membership increased.
Enclosed is a draft giving sugges
tions for a State Union Constitution
and By-Laws.
Yours sincerely,

Considerable indignation was
aroused regarding the article printed
in the Morning Enterprise, which
said that Beaver Creek Local's reso

slap at the Recall. We wish to state
that the Equity Society has taken no
stand whatever, officially, as regards
the recall movement
Mr.' Schuebel was recommended as

DON'T BE A QUITTER
Stand by the Equity and the Equity's
Warehouse Proposition
Oregon City, Ore.
July 28, 1913
Editor Courier:
It is easy enough to be enthusiastic
when everything is running smoothly.
It is easy enough to get the blues
when things go wrong. It is far too
easy to start a kick whenever some
one does something that don't exac
tly suit us. But what the Farmers
Society of Equity needs is men who
are broad enough to look over any
minor objections and to give their sup
port to the warehouse company. After
the business is well established every
one will be glad to contribute sup
port. Of course that support will be
welcome but what is needed is sup
port at the present time. The kind of
support that will make the undertak
ing a success. The kind of support that
really accomplishes something by be
ing available when it is most needed.
The proposition is already supported
by a large number who are
determined to give the undertaking a
thorough trial. Since we have a set of
honest and capable men in charge of
the state union and warehouse com
pany, our prospects of success could
hardly be much better. At the same
time we must realize that the venture
is a new one and must be supported.
This support must be of the kind that
never fails whether the outlook is
bright or dim.
We have no place for quitters in the
Farmers Society of Equity. Every man
who started out with enthusiasm for
the warehouse and company and who
retreated and began to support some
one horse affair when he saw some
imaginary obstacles in the way is a
quitter. Fortunately a great many of
them have seen the error of their ways
and are again ottering their aid to the
proposition. We are not to make this
thing a success and will probably find
that it succeeds exactly in proportion
to the support that we give it. If we
look around at the men who are suc
ceeding in life we notice that the ones
making the greatest success are the
ones that are most constant. The men
who follow one undertaking just long
enough to encounter an obstacle are
not usually making much progress.
The successful men are not successful
because there are no obstacles, or be
cause they shut their eyes to these
obstacles but rather because they
meet them and analyze them and fin
ally surmounting and going ahead.
So if all the members of the Far
mers Society of Equity will back the
warehouse company with a determin
ation to see it through to success. If
each one will keep up his enthusiasm
even if he cannot see that everything
is perfect. If each one will be prepar
ed to look over mistakes for they are
characteristic of human beings. And
above all things will apply rigid test
to any scandalous rumors that may
appear. Be absolutely sure that they
are true before they are spread. If
found to be true face that matter
squarely without turning to some
other proposition and without putting
on a plaster that merely hides the de
fect. The thing to do is to repair de
fective part. This will always be pos
sible so long as we retain complete
control of the undertaking. We can at
any time demand that a weak man be
replaced or poor plan of action chan
ged. All that will be necessary will be
to put the actual facts before the
membership in their right light. How
ever, we should at all possible times
keep our troubles from being thrash
ed out by the public gossips who are
forever propagating trouble.
Then let every farmer join the so
ciety and every member support its
undertakings.

PERFECTSPHERES
With All His Scientific Skill Man
Cannot Produce Them.
THE CURVING OF A BASEBALL
It li Possible Only Because the Ball Is
an Imperfect Globe and In Compari
son With Its Size Much Rougher
Than the Surface of the Earth.
The real reason why a baseball cart
be thrown so that It will describe won
derful curves during Its progress
through the air Is that every such ball
has a surface made up of mountains,
valleys, craters, canyons, gorges, plains
nnd other Irregularities of the surface
that, when the difference In size is
taken luto consideration, makes the
surf nee of the eurtli seem like plate
glass.
If It were posslblo to make a perfect
sphere If it were possible to make a
baseball with an absolutely smooth sur
fuce and nn exact sphere no pitcher
In the world could make It curve. The
very best pitchers baseball has ever
known or probably ever will kqow
could not ninke the ball deviates hair's
breadth In its flight.
And so while It Is partly In the art
or knack the professional pitcher has
In holding and releasing the baseball
as he throws It. it Is also due to the
fact that a baseball has a wonderfully
rough surface against which the air
catches and turus It that gives It the
curve.
It you pass your hand over a plate
glass It moves smoothly with nothing
to retard it. If you pass your band
over an unpinned board you can feel
the roughness splinters we call them.
Vou cannot move your hand as easily
over the board. This is the same prin
ciple with the baseball. There Is a
roughness in Its surface that catches
In the air nnd forces one side about or
retards thnt side. This has but one
result to make the baseball leave Its
straight course, and In doing this it de
scribes a curve.
This does not detract in the least
from the cleverness of the pitcher who
can so accurately Judge his muscular
control as to make a baseball curve up
or down, right or left. But the fact
remains that It Is the roughness of the
baseball tbnt makes all his pitching
cleverness possible.
Take a brand Dew league ball in
your hand. It looks to be a perfect
sphere thnt Is, absolutely even and
uniformly round and as "smooth as
glass." And'lt may be as smooth as
glass, for glass also has a rough sur
face. Put a baseball under the most pow
erful microscope, enlarge It microscopi
cally 10.000 rtlnmpters, and what do
you see? The very thing mentioned in
the lirst paragraph of this article. The
surface is rough. It looks like the
landscape in the Alps or Yellowstone
park or any other rough section of the
earth. It lias peaks, ranges, ridges,
vulleys, plains and holes, gulches and
all sorts of uneven places, and if the
earth could be made as small as a
baseball it -would be practically a per
fect sphere and absolutely smooth.
This Is because the highest mountains
of the earth and the deepest valleys
would be millions upon millions of
times smaller In comparison with the
rough uneven places on a baseball If
either the earth were reduced to the
size of a baseball or a baseball enlarg
ed to the size of the earth.
If this were uot true the earth would
not revolve so regularly upon its axis.
It would perform an "In shoot" or
"out shoot" and curve off through
space.
Even the billiard ball has a surface
much rougher In comparison to Its size
than the surface of the earth, and we
refer to a billiard ball as about the
smoothest thing known. "As smooth
as a billiard ball" Is a well known
simile. For the same reason that a
perfectly smooth baseball could not be
curved, a perfectly smooth and per
fectly round billiard ball could not be
made to curve on the table. It would
not take "English," as billiard players
call It when they make a ball go for
ward and then roll backward or In any
direction Just by the manner In which
they strike it with a chalked cue.
This fact of roughness causing it to
spin becomes all too evident when a
player forgets to chalk his cue and
plays several shots thereafter. If the
leather Up of the cue becomes shiny
It will slip on the ball. There is no
pnrchnse with which It can take hold.
But chalk is sticky stuff, and the gran
ules are large, so that a well chalked
cue has a very rough surface, and this
rough surfuoe of the tip of the cue fits
Into the rough projections on the ball,
and thereby a ball can be given a lot
of twist In order to accomplish this
successfully, moreover, the billiard
cloth nap mtiBt be new and therefore
rough.
During recent experimentation with
regard to the kinetic theory of gases
n Belgian scientist desired to fjud out
how perfect a sphere could be made In
order thnt by the clashing of these to
gether an Idea might be secured of the
effect of the collisions of the spherical
stoma thnt make up a gas. The proj
ect bad to be abandoned at last be
cause do machinery could be construct
ed thut would turn out a perfect
sphere artificially, and nature has no
perfect sphere of large size In all ber
many forms of matter. Perfect disks
could be made, but a round ball was
beyond the limits of human accomplishment-New

THE NEED OF A NAVY.
We see before our eyes at this
moment a great and populous
empire, now a great aud popu
lous republic China, which has
suffered partial dismemberment
purely because she has permit
ted herself to become Impotent
in war, so that she has no navy
and not an adequate army. In
consequence Uussia, Japan, Ger
many, England and France now
hold Chinese provinces, some of
them themselves the size of em
pires. If the American people
deliberately chose to follow in
Chinese footsteps, doubtless
some decades would pass before
we should suffer to the exteut
of China, but long before that
time had come we should have
had to abandon all pretense of
upholding the Monroe doctrine,
we should have had to abandon
Pamunu and Alaska and every
insular possession, and we
should have had to surrender all
right to say what immigrants
shall and what Immigrants shall
not be admitted to our country
and the terms upon which they
shall come here and become
citizens or hold land. Let It be
understood that every man who
votes to stop building up the
navy or stop fortifying the canal
is voting to put us in a position
where we cannot even resent In
sult, let alone ourselves Insult
ing others with impunity. Let
us remember that the policy of
uniting the unbridled tongue
and the unready hand Is a pol
icy of criminal folly. The most
dangerous of all positions for
any nation is to be opulent, ag
gressive and unarmed. Theo
