JOHN STARK'S COLUMN
Comments on Things Doing in Our
Country Today
It is reported that the management
of the Pittsburgh division of the Penn
sylvania railroad, has notified its em
ployees that to refuse to work on Sun
day will mean a loss of three days
pay during the week. Being one of
the big corporation, God will no doubt
overlook it. If, however, some poor
man who belongs to the Adventist
faith, should refuse to observe that
pagan holiday, he would be called to
account by some booze fighting poli
tician in the name of God. For God no
longer bothers about such affairs,
having apparently thru the good of
fices of that notorious monster of
the fourth century and his successor,
been relieved of the trouble.
In a newspaper before me I note that
a law was passed in England to punish
anyone, who in anyway used coal for
fuel. Now you will say that was a
fool law. Yes, and your law book is
full of the same kind, or it would not
be so big and then some nicely-dressed,
soft-handed gentleman would be
compelled to do something useful in
order to live, and tnat wouia De aw

A writer in a recent issue of the
Courier states he was paid $G0 per.

than paying a soldier li tor raising
hell, and spreading venereal diseases
Often vou will hear that Socialists
impracticable people, and one of the
usual remarks which is thought to be
an argument, is that "it is agin hu
man nature." Now comes the agricul
ture department with the statement
that "Public abattoirs with public sal
of the meats of animals slaughtered
at them, have become the crying need
of this country." You see the position
of the Socialist is always being up
held by its very opponents when not
hired to oppose them.
On October 13, this year of grace.
about one half of the prayer of the
chaplain of the house of represents!
tives was "Impart unto us grace suf
ficient to our needs, that we may live
to the full measure of Christian man
hood this day. In the spirit of the
Lord Jesus Christ, Amen." JNow
want you to read the above carefully
so you can analyze it and also that

Mr. Hobson, the hero of a ttiousan
kisses from excited females of the
human specie, and the hurrahs of
few million, of what was intended to
be men, rose to a question of personal
privilege. See Page G266.
Then, being duly impressed with the
spirit referred to in the prayer, pro
ceeded to read the riot act to members
of the house and the discussion as
reported in the Record, if one will
make due allowance for such correct

of many things besides classing

I supposo the interrogation point Is
missing tnat gives it the proper mean

these statesmen (?) that in order to
secure honest and capable men foi

Now let us look at the Senate, that
dignified body of law givers. I have

gates, which resulted in a personal
wrunglo, wherein the various kitchen
utensils were represented as very
black. I find that among those who
. took part and many other "public
servants" the rule is firmly adhered
to, "let no easy dollar escape." Just
how much time was consumed by
these perspiring patriots in exposing
just a nine oi me devious ways of
graft, is not stated, but tho row covers

TAXPAYERS GET BUSY
Look Over this Physicians' Trust You
are Paying For
Editor Courier:
The taxpayers of Oregon have prob
ablv never been enough interested in
the Medical Department of the State
University to find out how their
money is being spent by the political
doctors who run and control this
department.
i am going to give you a few facts
to think over and then you can talk
to vour members of the legislature
when at its next session, bill will come
up for support of this school.
This department is located in Port
land in a large building containing
"well equipped laboratories, a con
venient dissecting room, two large
lecture rooms, a commodious amphi
theatre and the R. B. Wilson library."
The faculty, according to its cata
logue, consists of sixty professors and
instructors, every man Jack of whom
is an allopathic doctor, including
several of the most eminent medical
politicians in the state, all drawing
salaries from the state and it took
this bunch of sixty instructors to grad
uate NINETEEN fledgeling Allo
paths m 1913. Being a state institu
tion supported by all classes of tax
payers alike. 1 recently addressed a
letter to this department asking if
any of the drugless branches of heal
ing were taught. A reply from the
Assistant dean informed me that "our
instruction is not allopathic, homeo
pathic, naturopathic, osteopathic or
chiropractic, nor does it adhere to the
obscessions of any "pathy," cult or
sect and not to propo-
gate the cause of any particular so-,
called school of healing."1
Isn't that richness for you coming
from a school that employs sixty allo
pathic doctors and whose curriculum
says: "The first two years are de
voted to anatomy, physiology, physio
logical chemistry, neurology, embryo
logy, pathalogy, pharmacology, bac
teriology, materia medica, and toxica
logy. The last two years embrace the
clinical branches, MEDICINE, SUR
GERY, therapentics, clinical pathol
ogy, obsterics, gynecology, nervous
and mental diseases, etc, etc."
The reply of the Assistant dean, I
confess, puzzles me. Sixty allopathic
doctors on the staff and still they did
not teach allopathy and I ask the read
er if he can find drugless methods em
bodied in the list I have given above?,
So, I wrote again and asked: what did
they teach? which brought forth this
reply:
"This college leaches the scientific
handling of disease by the use of
drugs, serums, and operations or with
out them that drugs
must be used, serums must be used
and operations performed." Here is
some more richness! Listen to this:
"Scientific medicine (whatever that
is) embodies all of the good features
of all the various so-called schools"
etc. That sounds well coming from a
school that knows absolutely nothing
about drugless methods of healing.
Now here is a real joke. He further
says: "Sofcools of Osteopathy, Chiro
practic, Naturopathic and the like are
all conducted for personal financial'
gain of those conducting them and
are rapidly succumbing to the pro
gress of scientific men who are work
ing every day in an honest effort to
alleviate the sufferings of mankind."
Ye Gods I Wouldn't that founder you?
In ten years the Allopathic medical
schools in the United States have
dwindled from 105 to 105 and only
this Fall the medical department of
Willamette University was merged
with that of the State University to
keep from being annihilated.
Drugless colleges are conducted
privately because they get no state
aid, and are rapidly increasing to meet
the demand for drugless methods.
Now, my taxpaying friends, you
want to get busy for at the next ses
sion of the legislature there will be
things doing. We shall endeavor to
prevent any appropriations for this
state medical department unless it
teaches all schools of healing.
The American Medical Association
lias fastened these institutions on the
taxpayer to exploit one school of med
icine which is illegal. Talk and write
lo your next legislators and do a good
job,

Farmers are facing a crisis. The
time has come for them to be masters

Which are YOU for?
Are you ready to fight for your

"Up To Date Farming" says "If
some people got out of the rut they
wouldn't know which way to go."
If the farmer got out and received
all that he is entitled to he wouldn't
need to go anywhere. He could af
ford to stay on the farm.
OregonC ity will have plenty of pure
water soon that will, not contain live
animals with dead language names
and not controlled by councils or
water boards. It is called Oregon mist.
If you force the other fellow to
earn what he gets you will get what
you earn and not until then.
It is up to the farmers to put some
thing on the referendum ballot that
he can vote yes on.
The doctors' trust is like a cob
house. It stands as long as you don't
shake it.
If the producer and consumer could
get together explanations would be in
order. The stories they could relate
would be almost unbelievable and all
about the high cost of living.
The meat trust has its own pack
ing houses in Argentina and now has
control of millions of acres in Africa
and will raise beef and cut out the
farmer, pay no tariff and charge one
dollar per pound.
Now the doctors should make us
all quit eating vegetables and explain
in Latin.
Your Equity writer has been accus
ed of being radical. Good! That is ex
actly what we were trying to be. The
farmers for many years have had
radical taxation persecution, educa
tion and commercial robbery. Whoever
undertakes to battle with it at all
with conservatism fails.
I lived a few years in Western
Kansas where society is menaced by
an enemy called rattlesnakes. I used
to take a tug from my harness and
strike them a radical blow on the
head and it did the work. Now you
may try your conservative taps on its
tail if you want to.
President Wilson has said that his
programme contained after currency
reform, some radical legislation on
trust regulation. If he can force Con
gress to make a law that will put the
profits in the peoples' pockets where
it came from it would help some.
We have marked our Congressman
from this district (Mr. Lafferty) up
several notches. He has introduced a
bill, No. 9043, for Uncle Sam to build
operate, and own telephone and tele
graph lines and to operate them at
cost. . v
He yet may become the head stone
of the corner.
We have been informed that the
Wisconsin Legislature failed to pass
the bill creating state markets, so
Oregon may yet be the first to act
and get a little more notoriety as a
leading progressive state. S. L. Casto
is working on this. Luck to you.
It seems that we gave the Enter
prise credit that belongs to that beer
paper called the Guardian for a splen
did editorial on the merits of our not
ed attorney, W. S. U'Ren. All this
goes to prove that some good can
come from most anything.
If the politicians of Oregon knew
the financial condition of the farmer
and also his determination to lower
taxes they would stop loading our
referendum ballot down with meas
ures that tax him for someone else's
benefit. He will put a measure on
there some day that will not raise his
taxes but raise vou politicians off thn
job.
Science in farming is good but it
takes practical farming to produce
the spuds. We farmers are in need of
science but it is scientific marketing
mat win give us a good net profit on
what we produce is the kind most
needed just now.
"The Goat," Vol. 2, No. 5., came to
our desk from Cottage Grove,. Ore.,
and contains a scheme to reduce the
high cost of living, which is for the
public to own a chain of stores and
save all the waste of so many in du
plicating cost. Pres. Casto might in
clude ins suue maritet.
We have heard that two heads are
better than one if one is a sheep's
head. But a goat! That's different,
but some of them do act like thev had
an idea. Now this goat seems to have
a bran new one and if this goat will
iiimh us get control or the State
well, the rest is easv. The kids cnnlrt
do it.
Some people say that the Govern
ment can not do anvthinc for the in.
dividual. If that was true, we had bet
ter do without government and its
expense. The Government cannot leg
islate weaitn into existence, for that
is created bv labor, but it enn nav
whose pockets this wealth shall go
into after it is produced.
Al! millionaires obtained nnH hnM
their wealth by governmental priv- j
ileges. The Osage Indians are the
ichest people (per capital in the
world. They have automobiles. nnnHle
dogs and surgical operations same as
white people of the "better class."
They don't have to vote to work or
nave nervous prostration and vour
Uncle Sam is responsible.
Talk about being radical. Now here
conies Bishop Spalding of Utah of
the Episcopal Church and attacks the
capitalistic system of interest, rent
and profit, and says: "I hate this sys
tem, my friends. I hate this system
which gives to the greedy and takes
from the meek. It is un-Christian and
un-Godlike, the church must ally her-
... tut, uiuvtriiiciiwf ior inuus-
rial democracy."
That is plain enough. The common
people had begun to think the church
had been bought by the rich for
machine to dish out bits of charity to
those who create all the wealth.
Now here comes Rev. Edwards of
the Main St. Congregational Church,
with a series of sermons on Christian
Socialism. Everything and everybody
are getting radical except that grand
ma paper called the Oregonian and
they wouldn't change even their mar
ket reports. You would sometimes
think they had copied them from Poor
Richard's Almanac, if the prices were
n't so low. It is the radical papers and
magazines that are swelling their
circulation. The conservative papers
admit it, even the Los Angeles Times.
Our Senator, Harry Lane, is still
working on his denatured alcohol bill
and has a farmers association of
Pennsylvania helping . him. Mr. Paul
Pf erdner of Oregon is now in Germary
collecting informatio and a bulletin
will be given out to the farmers.
Mr. Lane wishes to thank the Far
mers Society of Equity for their co
operation. The following from The TeWram.
of Nov. 4th, shows that the Equity
and Pres. Casto are not alone in this
crusade for State Markets:
The Ninth Ward Protective As
sociation passed resolutions at its
last meeting called upon the May
or and City Commissioner to in
stitute an investigation of the so
' called "beef trust" in order to re
duce the price of meats, and also
to take steps looking toward the
establishment of state and local
slaughterhouses, stock yards,
packing plants and public mar
kets. The resolutions contend that
the meat business and prices are
absolutely controlled by the local
"beef trust" arid that packers
and middlemen make exhorbitant
profits and that foreign labor is
employed in discrimination
against American uabor and that
the producers are nat paid fair
prices for their livestock. Resolu
tions were also adopted urging
upon the city to pass an act
which will make it obligatory to
draw upon the general fund for
street repairs instead of assess
ing such burdens against the
abutting property owners.
Did you know that we have a civil
was in this U. S ? West Virginia was
the field for months and now it is Col
orado and Michigan. It is the people
against the militia. In West Virginia
the people won and the fight is still
on in the other two states.
Japan's army costs $219 per man;
England's $520, and United States
costs $1,910. I could be more radical
than I am, which proves I am quite
conservative.

SEND FARMERS TO CONGRESS
To Make Laws that put Banker and
Farmer on Equal Footing
Reference was made in these col
umns in regard to farm mortgage
debts. It might interest some people
to know that the recorded mortgage
debt of the farms nearly equals the
reported amount of money of the
country, being within $180,000,000.
Furthermore many farmers owe per
sonal debts of which we have no rec
ord, the amount certainly totaling
many more millions. It is well to bear
this in mind in discussing farm
credits or loan schemes, which' our
saviors are now so busy in contriving.
It is also well to remember that the
government has assumed the monop
oly of manufacturing money, and es
tablishing systems of distribution. So
far as my investigation goes, none of
the loan schemes look for a solution
of abolishing these debts. On the
other hand all seeks some method to
perpetuate them thru loans running a
long term of years. The lowest term
so far observed, is nearly twenty
years, or to state it differently, that
a debt incurred by a man in full man
hood would be about the only bequest
he could leave his children.
In my crude philosiphy, debt is a
synonymn lor slavery. Of course J
submit, with your higher education
you are able to assemble a nice lot
of words which I do not comprehend,
but which explains it nicely to such as
are trained in ethical problems to be
something real fine for the other
fellows,
Practically all debts bear interest
and that is of course provided for in
a thoughtful manner by these friends
of ours, among whom were the com
missions from various states, to inves
tigate farm problems in the red-light
districts of European capitals. All
other farm problems were reported on
thru the consular offices and agricul
ture department.
Congressman Bathrick, in his able
speech, shows how numerous other
countries furnished farm credits,
among them New Zealand, Australia
and its various colonies. Incidentally
he shows that altho this country has
had "unparalleled prosperity" under
the wise and patriotic administrations
of the G. O. P., the debt on farms, as
also farm tenantry, has increased out
ot proportion to population, or in
crease in farm values. And besides
that, in his state (Ohio) there was a
falling off in total acreage devoted to
larnung.
Hits gentleman said: "I want to
make it possible for the farmer with
a mortgage to get out of debt before
he and all of his children are dead."
In other words, he regards it as im
possible now.
With all due regard to his good in
tentions, 1 want to amend the above
very pertinent remark. I demand at
the heads of this government, eoual
opportunities for the farmer, at the
money box of this nation so gener
ously extended to bankers. Then it
! will not only be "possible for thef ar-
mer with the mnrttmo-o tn o-et nut
of debt before he and all his children
are dead ," but it will be a verv PROB-
ABLE thing, that farm debts will be
wiped out a few days earlier.
In a newspaper item it is impossible
to deal with such questions in detail.
One thing bear in mind, that the
schemes which are now so industrious
ly promoted, do not come from real
farmers, neither are they for the
farmers' benefit, but soley for the
benefit of large loaning agencies, to
fasten an eternal debt on the farms,
a sure income from farm debts under
government guarantees. In the future
elect none but farmers, real workers,
to Congress, or any other important
public offices.

tives, Washington, D. C, for his

would but discover the fact that the
town affords a miserable market, un

progress and prosperity would rapidly
follow. Canby merchants are now so
liciting potatoes, offering $1.10 per
hundred, while a sale of two or three
sacks in Oregon City, at. a dollar a

Market Report
The
grape marKet oi me iocai
firms has been steady, but the season
is about exhausted. Concords are a
thing of the past. The yield was good
this year and the price was satisfac
tory to the growers.
Excellent varieties of apples are
daily arriving in the markets with a
good demand at 75- cents and upwards.
There are a few peaches found in
the markets, but are of the cling stone
varieties, and by the latter part of
the week very few will be found in
the markets. .
The melon season has come and
gone, with a supply at the local mar
ket that was equal to the demands.
The following is from the Portland
Union Stock Yards Company.
Receipts for the week at the stock
vards have been: cattle, 1719,- calves,
100, hogs, 3813; sheep 6531.
An enormous volume of . business
has been transacted in the cattle mar
ket during the last five days, parti
cularly Monday and Tuesday. Re
ceipts totaled a 1913 record for a short
period and as they followed an ab
normal liquidation the week before,
beef outlet would have been hopelessly
closed if prices had been firm. But it
was a buyers' market mostly, but
good steers did not sell under $7.25.
The bulk of steer transactions averag
ed $6.75 to $7.15. Butcher stock was
weak only in spots. Cows and heifers
sold sharply lower, but bulls and
stags maintained some degree of firm
ness. A small lot of heifers selling at
$6.75 featured at $6.35 and $6.50.
Swine market suffered very little
from an advanced liquidation and
steady bear pressure. Best light hogs
were sold at $8.25 and $8.30 right up
to the close and demand was steady.
The week's receipts have been above
the average, both in quantity and
quality. Smooth heavy stock brought
good prices. Trade does not seem to
be oversupplied at present, but No
vember receipts are likely to be heavy.
Sheep house came to life once more.
The first opportunity it has had in a
fortnight. Receipts were not record
breaking, but of fair volume and a
good proportion was wethers, lambs
and yearlings. Ewe stock was not
choice, but demand .is good for this
class. Prime yearlings are up to a
quarter to $4.75 and wethers at $4.25
to $4.50 and ewes at $4.00, with one
load of extra fine wethers sold off the
cars Friday at $5.10 and one load of
the fill at $5.00, but they were except
ional, the best seen on the market.
Lamb trade is firmer at $5.75, altho
few sales were made due to short
supply. Generally the lamb and sheep
markets are steady to higher.
