Agitation causes organization.
Organization causes reform and
f edei ation.
Federation . causes evolution or
commercial revolution.
Evolution is a growth or evidence
of progress.
Progress is sometimes retarded by
mild reforms.
Real progression comes from rad
ical changes.
A noted New York doctor wants to
kill off all the fools. That is radical.
And it might result in giving a few
doctors employment and starve out
most respectable citizens. A slam to
the hayseed.
The State of Oregon has made a
mistake and now wants only $154,000
from Clackamas county. Our Assessor
says Clackamas county has less than
SliO.OOO in notes and money combined.
How are we taxpayers going to make.
these two accounts balance .' Must De
another mistake somewhere.
According to the politicians we had
the best banking system on Earth,
and now I wonder why they had to
change it.
It may be that the bankers had
rather draw three per cent on
government bonds than only two per
cent like it used to be. Bankers, as a
rule, seem to be very particular about
little things like that and now they
are satisfied with the new currency
law.
United States senators are to be
nominated by the people at the pri
maries. The farmers of Oregon should
call a conference and decide on the
man they want to vote for and if you
don't you will have to vote for who
ever the bankers want you to, or not
vote at all.
The farmers are not the only class
suffering from the present panic: My
neighbor, a workman in lumber and
railroad camps, and belonging to the
Union, made a tour of the camps in
Washington and Oregon. About the
best he was offered was $1.55 per day
and nothing furnished. Board was
$5.25 per week and one dollar hospi
tal fees. He came back to await the
advent of a little prosperity for work
ers. There are some grand men in this
farmers' movement of the Farmers'
Union, Grange and fcquity, also the
trades in Portland. Men who. when
you converse with them, in their
earnestness vou see the deep lines of
thought from hard struggles and it
carries convictions ana logic not nara
from the ordinary speech in congress.
It endows the future with both hope
and fear.
: The Clackamas County Union has
a committee to look up markets for
our strawbdrries. Also to report on
the best varieties for shipping, can.
nine? end home market.
It is generally the case with fruit
of this kind that they nave to De mar
keted in northern cities to secure a
profitable price. The strawberry
growers of Kenewick. Washington
are making co-operation pay in good
profits. Southern Missouri has a very
successful strawberry growers asso
ciation.
In fact if farmers unions are a
success all over Europe and are prov-
ing so in America, it is only a ques
tion of time until all crops will be sold
hv a co-oDerative system. In elB
thee enterprises it is the, farmers
that must get in iie t';ime and put tVe
system in operatun. Too many far
mers are waiting f,r the nine fi'U'i'.v
when hia business put in the pool
would help.
Our Referendum Federation com
mittee, which is our Federation to lie
formed, will have the most impor
tant work of all the organizdtioru to
look after. They will be the grunt fx
ecutive head of all the organization?
It will be their duty to guide or
ca.-nW.eA farmers and others into sue.
cessful co-operation in business and
Dolitics. We will look to them to guide
all this organized power in the same
channel as much as possible.
Thev must shoulder this responsi
bility as a great honor and a great
duty with great victories to gain and
and nothing but poverty to lose. Their
work will begin immediately and they
should be paid for their time.
There are so. many people willing
and very anxious to help the farmer
out of the rut and they all have such
excellent schemes and plans all map
ped out on paper and backed by many
fierures. with such glorious futures all
painted in brilliant hues and all is
left to be done for the farmer to dig
up a sum of money for them to spend
and prosperity will arise out of the
land like toad stools.
Some of these people are honest in
their convictions, but these people
with soft hands have never dug deep
in the soil of society as at present
organized, to discover the nature of
the roots of these weeds of depres
sion. When you destroy them for the
farmer you are taking away the very
life and prosperity of boards of trade,
Chambers of Commerce and the unit
ed prosperity of the aristocracy. Why!
my friends, one great book says
"Thou shalt not kill." Now don't
come to me and tell me that is why
we build navies.
Whenever a man or company of
men come to town and build a
$100,000 building and put in another
$100,000 stock of goods, hires a lot
of clerks, pays taxes and quite a sum
to the churches and charity you see
it requires a lot of money and this
business must pay or go into bank
ruptcy, and now who pays for all of
this? You do! and you have too many
such institutions to keep up. The far
mers and city consumers have too
much of a burden to carry and our
markets must be simplified and not
have too many buildings, stocks,
clerks and salaries to pay. This is one
cause of the high cost of living and
our federation should champion state
markets in order to protect the pro
ducer and the consumer too. If any
one can devise a better plan let us
read it in the Courier.
Why don't we send that ten thou
sand men to the State University to
study medicine? We have enough
teachers already on good salaries to
do the job and we voted enough mon
ey to educate all the politicians in the
next campaign. These people, in a few
months, would be tearing up our
good roads with automobiles and
making lots of money and be our most
influential citizens.
We farmers would no doubt furnish
the saws and slippery elm bark too.
This is the time Big Business starts
out trapping. He oils up his traps
(Standard Oil) and watches the runs
of organized farmers. He secures a
few of the best specimens for decoys
and sets his trap near the polls and
election day we all walk in ana tne
next day our hides are foot rugs for
politicians.
It is the duty of every farmer to
join some organization of farmers
and not only join but pitch right in
and help. 'Do all his buying and sell-
lt is the duty oi the otticers or tne
unions to devise plans to put this
to put htis into operation as soon
as possible..
A member oi a iarmers- organ
ization in order to help and keep
up ithel Vdi'k must attsnd (every
meeting of his local. Too many
members are staying awayi. iney
do not help along that way. Iheir
presence encourages other's.
In order to eain back our lost
power that has been stolen from us
by the politicians and tne men oi
the markets, while we were asleep.
We must wake up, not a few of us,
but all of us and go to the market and
thep oils and get some prosperity that
belongs to those who work and pro
duce it.
P. W. Meredith.
COUNTY EQUITY MEETING
Large Attendance and Enthusiasm
Showed, Society is here to May
The County Equity Soaiety met in
the 0. W. 0. hall last Saturday for
its annual meeting for the election of
officers and other important business,
and there was a large attendance.
The house was called to order by
President S. L. Casto; committees on
credentials and resolutions appointed.
The Committee on credentials report
ed almost a full delegation from all
old locals and also some new ones.
It was evident that the Equity
was on a solid iounaation ana nas
come to stay.. The question of federa
tion was discussed thoroughly and
the sentiment was unanimous for
federation. From the numerous and
far reaching resolutions that carried
unanimously, was a mirror that re
flected the true feeling among the
different locals for future work.
' The convention was addressed by
Mr. Starkweather on his European
tour of inspection of rural co-opera
tive organizations for eredit and
other commercial purposes. Mr.
U'Ren also addressed the convention
on questions of helpful legislation
for the organized tarmer. ine so
ciety extended a vote of thanks to
both.
All the officers were re-elected for
the ensuing year.
The Society has gained strength
and wisdom and now has taken a
firmer grasp on things commercial
and political and the future promises
well lor the organizea iarmer in
Clackamas County.
STATE MARKET LAW
W.
S. U'Ren Outlines Legislation
Needed for General Relief
Before the county Equity Society
meeting last Saturday W. S. U'Ren
made a short address to the farmers
along needed lines of legislation, a
part of which follow:
It is very difficult to frame a law
that will force the commission man
to be as honest in making his returns
as we know the farmer ought to be
in making his shipments. When you
add to this the proposal to cut out
all unnecessary middlemen it makes
the task much harder. The very best
plan yet put in practice is the one
the United States government 'uses
in the Canal Zone at Panama. The of
ficial reports as well as the reports
of travellers, seem to all agree that
you can feed and clothe a family
much cheaper and much better buy
ing from Uncle Sam's stores in the
Canal Zone than you can anywhere in
the United' States buying from the
competitive stores. But it is not
worth while to discuss that now, be
cause it is clearly beyond the power
of Oregon.
The law passed by the legislature
last year was enough to make the
commission men very anery, and not
enough to do the farmers and other
shippers very mucn gooa. i Deneve as
nnfnrcement is still under an injunc
tion order awaiting a decision by the
Supreme Court.
It seems to me we might get some
relief by a state law requiring every
town and city to designate one block
to be paved all around and the side
walk and pavement kept clean by the
city. Then permit anyone who has
anything to sell to bring it to that
block on a market day, at least as
often as twice a week, and occupy
the street and sidewalks as tne mar.
tne street aim Biuewaiivo aa m. i.t--
ket Let the police duty be simply
to preserve order. There snouia De no
charge against either the buyer or
the seller. 1 Deneve tms wouia ue em
advantage both to the producer and
to the consumer, and especially in
the handling of farm produce.
In addition to this I believe we
could safely require the governor to
appoint a State Agent in any city in
Oregon, and in other states, where
such appointment might be demanded
by the producers and shippers.) Re
quire the approval of this agent to
any claim that produce or goods
have arrived in bad order, and to all
claims for losses. Also grant discre
tion to the governor, on the recom
mendation of a committee appointed
by the State Grange, the Farmers'
Society of Equity, the Farmers' Un
ion and the Commission Mens' organ
ization to prosecute both civilly and
criminally the failure of any com
mission man to deal honestly with his
customers and to prosecute any
transportation company, both civilly
and criminally, for negligence in car
rying the goods, if it results in loss.

I do not think the state would have to
prosecute many suits. A dishonest
commission man might be willing to
try and rob a single farmer or a
small shipment, or even a carload,
thinking the farmer would lose it
rather than go to the expense of a
law suit. But the same man would
hesitate a long time if he knew he
was likely to get into trouble with
the State of Oregon for such a job.
Also, I think the law should re
quire the commission merchant to
make a return, not only of his sales,
to all persons to whom the goods
were sold, but of the date of sale, the
quantity sold, the price received and
the address of the buyer.
It is quite possible that other lim
itations and restrictions might be
added. But this is as far as I have
been able to figure the problem out
and feel confident that any law the
state might make would be enforced
and would probably do more good
than harm.
Beaver Creek Local

rousing meeting January 10. A large

SOCIALISTS COLUMN
For a correct understanding of the
principles of Socialism as applied to
civil government, by C. W. Barzee,
Portland, Ore.
A Fore Word
The installation of this depart
ment, which has been granted on
terms agreed, by the manager of this
paper, is in keeping with tne ior
wsrd movment of all progressive pa
pers. Farmers, who are largely the pa
trons of this paper, are the backbone
of any nation and should be at the
fore front with all that goes to make
up civilization; therefore they should
read and understand any subject of
so great importance as SOCIAL
ISM.
Socialism as a scientific principle
of government has a following of
more than twenty minions oi peo
ples, belting the most enlightened
portion of the globe. They come with
the same cry, asking the same ques
tion, speaking on the same issue and
voting the same principle of govern
ment demanding: "To the worker the
full product of his toil." This declar
ation with its great aggregation of
devoted intelligent people should do
more than attract the attention oi
the citizen. It should make him study
and think of that which speaks as
never before in the history of all civ
ilization been uttered the solidarity
of the working class, from which all
things emenate and to which all
things rightfully belong.
The demand lor tnis cnange is at
hand. Socialists declare the change
amounts to nothing less than a revo
lution. A revolution of conditions that
stops the products of labor from go
ine to those that labor not and gives
it, in toto, to tnose wno qo me useiui
work of the world.
It is not intended that this be any
other than a political, social revolu
tion. A revolution ordered by the bal
lot and demanded by the solidarity
of the working' class. It can be ac
complished by electing to office those
who understand the cause and cure of
our present ills; selected from the
workers themselves, whose official
dom shall be guarded by the initiative
referendum and the recall.
Capitalism, the name given to the
system now in use, because or the
accumulation of surplus value, creat
ing great aggregation of wealth in
the hands of the few who do no use
ful work, who by their manipulation
of the affairs of mankind have evolv
ed a new condition, have dug their
own grave and forced an economic
conclusion that ordered the end of the
present system.
mis capitalism must now give up
indeed, as it has in fact, the law of
competition and 'adopt the new law
of the evolved condition of co-opera-r.inn:
whereby the workers of the
world create tor use ana use lor
themselves and not for profit, to be
taken bv others.
- The farmers union, tne urange,
the Enuitv League, and all other Un.
ions, testify to the demand for the
solidarity ot tne working ciass; pout-
ica v as wen as inaustriaiiv.
To this end will this department be
devoted and any questions relating
to the plan, program and adaptability
of the socialist party to this end will
be cheerfully answered in tnig ae
partment by the manager,
The "Good Men" Humbug
The hardest thine the average
voter has to eret away from before he
begins to make any real progress, is
the "good man" theory. Electing
good men to ottice never nas ana
never will brine any permanent relief
from capitalist exploitation or better
the condition of those wno keep on
voting for "good men."
When vou vote for a republican or
a democratic candidate, no matter
how good a man he may be person
ally, you know that he represents a
party that you do not control, a party
in which you have no voice. You just
vote and that is all that is expected
of you.
When you join the Socialist party
and vote for a man representing a
party which controls its officials in
power, a party in which you have a
vote on every plank in its platform, a
nartv in which you have a vote on
-fiverv move that is made, a party con
trolled by its memDersnip tnrougn tne
initiative and reierenaum.
If the nartv and its elected offic.
ials are dishonest it can only be be
cause its membership is dishonest.
Such a nartv cannot become corrupt
or disregard its party pledges. Get
wise.

Why should the people issue bonds

can they go? Others say "run them
into the river." Others say "shoot

archy. Others say to feed them and
pass them on by kind treatment. This
would be Christianity.
Others say "why don't you go to
the country and work for your
board?" I myself have said this. But
is this not what capital wants? If
this rule was followed up wages
would go to the bottom therefore
they would become peonized Ameri

A representative of the Ameri
can Sunday School Union conducted
evening services at the hall from
Sunday to Wednesday night of the

to some of our unfortunates in this
community, and if persisted in will
ultimately furnish SOMEONE free
entertainment at Sheriff Mass hos'
telry.
