Will Prof. Freytacr tell us how lonjr
it will take city water from a sewer
to disolve a doctor s trust ;
Which does the most harm to the
community, the man who robs a bank
or a bank that robs the people .'
In 1912 corporations made a profit
over all expenses of over three bil
lion dollars, which is about thirty
dollars for every man. woman and
child.
Thirty dollars for each of us would
build cooperative markets in every
town and do our banking at cost. Are
we ready to organize and make the
cnange ;
America Can boast of several coop
erative wholesale houses now, and
more cominir and over one thousand
retail establishments.
With business on a cooperative base
we could help each other in case of
floods like Ohio had, and in drouths
like they now have in the Middle
West. Under the profit svstem our
hands are tied.
Say, Brother Parmer, did vou ever
know a railroad to have an agent that
could tell you what the freitrht rate
was so you wouldn't have to pay some
more at tne otner end ! No.
Did you ever know a railroad to
have a nice place for you to load or
unload freight? No. Will it always
be that ay? No. :

Resolution
Why do we choose doctors to
guard our health when if we were all
healthy we would have no use for
doctors ?
Why don't we choose horse thieves
to guard our horses?
We always choose bankers to make
the banking laws.
Now who are we going to choose
to make a few laws to govern farm

And further, as most of the prod

able system for the dairymen of the
Willamette Valley to follow.
Therefore be it resolved that the
Co'ton. Local of the Farmers' Society
of Equity endorse the organizing of a
Cooperative Creamery in or near
Portland, Ore., and ask the various
local and county organizations of the
r. o. .a. in tne Willamette Valley to
cooperate with them in furthering the
movement.
And be it understood that this in
no wise be construed as antagonis- .
tic to any local cooperative Creamery
established in the Valley; but that if
organized we could cooperate with
them, as our aims and interest would
be the same. '
And the delegates of this local to
the County Convention be and- hereby
are instructed to read this Preamble
and Resolution at the Clackamas Co.
Convention to be held in Oct. 1913.
And further that our Local Secretary
be instructed to immediatelv .nrl a
