Be it resolved, that the State, Sen
ate of the State of Oregon be abolish
ed. .
Whereas in this .year 191 the
State of Oregon and subdivision
chose merl who are to administer the
affairs of state, it behooves us as a
part of the organized body of farm
ers to have some plan by which we
may have our organized power do
" us some good in obtaining officers
from our own class who will repre
sent us in all branches. Resolve that
'oar Federation call a conference -and
in some way give us a plan to co
operate on candidates for U. S. Sen
ator, Representative and other, offic
crs. Be it resolved that this convention
go -on record as favoring the pay

committees performing any duty by
direction of the State Convention of

roslved that we petition congress to
60 co-operate and to use the money
thu.sAav.ed uPon our Public highways,
sent to Senator Chamberlain and
to
Representative Hawley.
LT TO THE FARMER
The Equity is established along the
right lines and sooner or later it (or
a similar organization) will succeed.
Its principles are correct and it seems
that only the indifference and inertia
of the farmer in the way of a power
ful co-operative organization that will
improve the conditions under which
farm products are marketed. The
marketing of his products is the
farmer's big problem, yet the farmer
soems to wait for some one not a
farmer to solve the problem. Just so
long as he waits for this outside so
lution, just so long as he fails to
qualify himself for its solution by
himself, just that long present con
ditions will prevail in marketing. To
improve matters, the farmer must
study his own problems and organize
for his own benefit and protection.

LOGAN
Pomona Grange has come and
gone and the members of Harding
Grange are relieved of the respons
ibility of entertainment for another
term. There , was a good attendance,
but not to the old-time mark. The
reports from the granges of the
county were generally encouraging.
This seemed to be an off meeting for
resolutions, as those that were intro
duced were tabled. A permanent com
mittee of five was authorized, of
which the Master and secretary are
members. This committee is for the
year and all resolutions are to be
sent to them for publication before
each meeting.
A committee of three wa3 also ap
pointed on confederation of farmers'
organizations for business purposes.
S. L. Casto, H. W. Hagemann and
M. V. Thomas were the committee
on resolutions. There was a- good
short program in the evening. The
young people gave a play: "Blumen-
stein s Bargain Day, lull of humor
ous characters and situations'. Mr.
Still gave two humorous songs; Lil
ian Anderson, Logan's impersonator,
was up to her usual high standard,
and Catherine Hagemann gave a rec
itation. Mr. Henry Balsmeier s accordeon
music was much appreciated by the
audience, and later by the dancers.
He has had much experience as a
musician in San Francisco. The July
meeting will be held with Molalla No.
310, but the April meeting has not
yet been arranged for. "
We hear that is. A. .Benson nas
bought 100 acres of the Strawbridge
land that joins his place. Let the
good work go on so that the land will
come into use.
F. J. Moser has bought twelve and
three-fourths acres from J. Zurbu
chen, which joins, his place on the
north.
Gill Bros, are sawing considerable
lumber now.
We can almost hear cais running
over that new road and we hope the
wind will soon get in the right di
rection so that we can hear them and
a franchise will be forthcoming from
the Logan council.
E. M. Gerber and Harry Babler
have formed a transportation line be
tween Oregon City and Portland and
we hear that they are running auto
trucks.
Members of Logan Equity Local
got a car load of feed, flour, etc,
from Portland and saved a nice sum
tjicreby.
REDLAND
School District No. 75 had a reg
ular old-time meeting. It seems that
the old board refused to re-employ
th'eir teacher at the close of three
months, but the natrons said that
they wanted him. Mr. Kirchem and J.
T. Fullam resigned, so they had to
wait 10 days for a special election,
when they elected Mr. Moor ana Mr.
Koch, and now the wheels of educa
tion are going merrily around with
Mr. Welch firmly installed.
Elmer Powers, while coming home
last flight, was thrown from his
horse and was unconscious for a
while. Better ride the pony too.
Mr. Moore has sold another car of
potatoes to Kane & Jaggar, $100 per
cwt.
Mrs. Murdock of Yamhill is visit
ing friends here.
Gottlieb Schneider is sick in pen
with rheumatism.
W. H. Bonney has been rebuilding
the C. C. M. Tel. Co. lines until he
has them in pretty good shape.
Our central, while out riding, fell
from her horse, and was bruised con
siderably. Ride the pony, Ethel.
Mrs. Ewalt was a visitor at Mrs.
Hughes' Sunday, admiring the Gurn
seys. Mr. Andrews, who has parted com
pany with the Northwest Associa
tion has moved onto the Chase place.
J. Schwartz had the misfortune
to Drean nis leg ai xne aniue last
work, but I am told he is eettine
along nicely. It was only a few years
ago that Mr. Schwartz broke the
same leg.

SOCIALISTS'
By C. W.
That the organized socialist party
has political claims on the farmer is
evidenced by the following para
graphs taken from their 1912 plat
form: No. 1 The collective ownership
and democratic management of rail
roads, wire cr.d wireless telegraphs
and telephone, express services,
steamboat lines and all other social
means of transportation and com
munication and of all large-scale in
dustries. 2. The immediate acquirement
by the municipalities, the states or
the federal government of all grain
elevators, stock yards, storage ware
houses, and other distributing agen
cies in order to reduce the present ex
tortionate cost of living.
. 3. The extension of the public
domain to include mines, quarries, oil
wells, forests and water power.
4. The further conservation and
development of natural resources for
the use and benefit of all the people
(a) By scientific forestation
and timber protection.
(b) By the reclamation of ar
(d) By the stopage of the
(c) By the storage of flood
waters and the utilization of water
power.
(d) By the stoppoge of the
present extravagant waste of the soil
and of the products of mines and oil,
wells. '
(e) By the development of
highway and waterway systems.
It is plainly seen by the foregoing
that the farmers are considered to be
an integral part of the working class
to which the socialist , party make
their appeal for class solidarity and
possession of the legislative powers
of government.
The following, also taken from
the same platform, defines more def
initely the working class referred to.
The working class, which includes
all those who are forced to work for
a living, whether by hand or brain,
in shop, mine or on the soil, vastly
outnumbers the capitalist class.
Lacking effective organization and
class solidarity, this class is unable
to enforce its will. Given such class
solidarity and effective organization,
the workers will have the power to
make all laws and control all indus
try in their own interest.
The foregoing section is interpret
ted to mean all who do useful labor.
The exploiting capitalist may labor
in a way that fully occupies his men
tal and physical faculty but such la
bor performs no useful service to
society. Such labor will be discontiif-ued-when
the useful practical labor
ers (workers) displace his occupation
by changing or revolutionizing the
system that permits such exploita
tion. The following section, also taken
from the platform, defines the class
sought to be displaced and deposed
by the useful workers from further
retarding civilization by their power
exalted power in control of govern
ment. The capital class though few in
numbers, absolutely controls the gov
ernmentlegislative, executive and
judicial. This class owns the machin
ery of gathering and disseminating
news through its organized press. It
subsidizes seats of learning the col
leges and schools and even religi
ous and moral agencies. It has also
the added prestige which established
customs give to any order of sooci
ety, right or wrong.

The Fearless Preacher
The world has just been- celebra
ting the anniversary of the birth of
the Carpenter of Nazareth. When he
was abouty thirty years of age, af
ter having served as a laborer in
Nazareth for a long time, he was one
day invited- to speak in the church
which he had been used to attending.
He began by reading from Isaiah:
The spirit of the Lord God is up
on me,
Because he hath set me apart to
preach the good tidings of the
meek.
To bind up the broken hearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,.
And the opening of the prison doors
to them that are bound.
Then he began to explain what it
meant, and the "good people" of the
day were so incensed at the idea of
emptying the prisons and preaching
deliverance to the workers, that they
rushed upon him in a mob and wJuld
have thrown him down a precipice
back of the town except for the fact
that he eluded them, after, perhaps,
exercising his good right arm with
skill and power.
That was a man whose force is ad
mitted by all to this day. Yet he had
no home, and testified that he was
without honor in his own country,
while the rulers of the people he had
come to liberate, -professing religion
and pretending that the most relig
ious man the world has known was
a blasphemer and determined to de
stroy religion, hounded him to death,
Evolution and Revolution
' Evolution means "to come out of,
to unroll, to unfold. It is a synonym
for developement and growth. All
things grow, therefore, all things are
examples of evolution. Social evolu
tion means the development of soci
ety along orderly lines. Socialists
trace this development in the past
and argue that it must continue to
develop or "come out of ltselr until
the fruit appears. The fruitage of So
ciety will be Socialism, and it will
be so radically different from what it
is now that it will constitute a revo
lution. Revolution means a turning
over. It is a synonym in its original
meaning of reform, a forming anew,
though the latter word has been
cheapened until it has come to mean
almost anything or nothing. Revolu
tion is a synonym of conversion, or
turning aroud. bocial evolution, as
spoken by Socialists, means the turn
ing over of conditions, so that indus
try will be managed for and by the
workers instead of for and by work
ers of the workers. There is an ex.
ample of social revolution in the de
velopment of machinery. Without a
war, and so imperceptbily that the
unthinking even deny it has occurred
the tools with which the people work
have, because of the development of
machinery, passed from their hands
into the hands of the few who, be
cause of owning the tools, are able to
collect a perpetual toll from such as
use the tools, the new social revolu
tion, already in progress, will trans
fer the larger tools from private con
trol into the control of the workers
once again, and in doing that free
them from exploitation.

In uu effort to prevent waste of mil
lions of dollars auuuully la the distri
bution of funds for construction of
public roudu Logau Wuller Page, di
rector of the otlice of public roads of
the department of agriculture, bus
been making sciential' tests to deter
mine what materials should be put
Into the roads designed to meet differ
ent kinds of trallic. It has beeu found
that more than $1,000,000 a day Is
spent on construction of roads. No
estimate is made of the portion of
these funds that Is wasted, but it Is
believed to mount Into the millions.
Efforts are being made to teacb the
country that the expenditure of large
sums of mouey on certain types of
roads may result almost In a total
waste. A road built of materials which

would be Ideul lu one locality may not
serve the purpose elsewhere, uud the
money expended may bring scarcely
any result In reducing the cost of haul
ing or making it easier for the farmer
to get to the shipping point with his
crops.
To nld the farmers who want to
build their own roads nnd assist com
munities that desire to Improve roads
near by, the ollice of public ronds of
the department of agriculture has em
ployed experts to test all materials and
study their usefulness on ronds sub
jected to certain traffic conditions. Tha
ofllce of public roads Is acting In an ad
visory capacity to many states and
counties, giving a practical form of
national aid.
On roads where there Is heavy traffic
It has been found that certain kinds of
materials are better than others and
that while one kind of binder may not
serve the purpose, another kind pre
serves the road Indefinitely. Millions
of dollars doubtless bave been wasted
because of the absence of the scientific
knowledge.
There are two ways In which the
engineer may avail himself of the in
formation necessary to a proper selec
tion of road material," says IJMreetor
Pagb. "The only certain one Is to
moke an actual service test on the
material under observation and under
the same conditions of traffic and cli
mate to which the proposed road will
bo subjected. This method is Imprac
tical except in rare Instances, due to
the lapse of time before definite re
sults can be obtained. The second
method Is, by means of short time lab
oratory tests, to approximate the de
structive agencies to which the mate
rial will be subjected on the road, sup
plementing this knowledge ty a study
of the results obtained In practice on
material of h similar nature."

He lived but seven miles from

Just where the Hollow road slopes

Vet when at last he reached the
place
Long whiskers covered all his face.
Excelulor!
No more he ventures In to town
To act the mud bespattered clown.
