OREGON EQUITY NEWS
The farmer's one bright star is
Equity.
Equity is reviving hope and bury
ing fear for the agriculturist.
The Equity is four times as large
as it was a year ago. ,
Co-operation is the foundation on
which Equity is built.
Co-operation - was taught 1900
years ago by a lone Galilean but in
the present stage or society we
adopt it through necessity.

body gets it.

Mt. Pleasant has a commercial
club composed mostly of farmers.
Also an improvement club and with
our Equity we are learning co-operation.
W. S. U'Ren and B. T. McBain
came out last Thursday evening and
gave us good talks that were appre
ciated, and, considering the spirit in
which they were given, strengthens
our belief that -mankind is a brotherhood.
, Co-operation has seized the Amer
ican people like an epidemic. "Every
body's doing it." Society is just out
growing its last century clothes.
A private letter from Cleveland,
Ohio states that more people are car

Farmer Freytag believes in

Down in Mexico they are confis

Politics in this state and county is
getting so mixed up like a barrel of
snakes and an Equity member start

nimseii electioneering against him-
sen. several equity members now
get up in the morning and run their

j Our county court is going to pro
tect a mile of rock road with an as
; , phaltum surface at a cost of fifteen
' hundred dollars. This mile of road
has cost now over $20,000 to build in
the last few years It is like spending
: ifzo to protect a $&,uuu house with
: paint. Hut these figures are intended
. to remind you that first class roads
don t sell six for a quarter.
No matter what kind of good roads
are built or who builds them, or
wnere tney are built the farmer pays
. ior tnem directly in taxes or indirect
ly in profits on what he buys.
Give the farmers a profitable
market and he will build good, roads
to them. Good markets are of more
importance than good roads. Good
markets will build good roads. Bonds
, will draw interest and that is all they
can do.
Brother Spence's letter on good
roads was about the best I ever
read on the subject. It shows he has
been a close observer and good stu
dent and made a specialty on that
particular subject. Thef armer Is
paying too much now toward good
things for other people and going
without good things for his home
and family. If he has to bond him
self, do it for improving his home,
for good clothes, music and libraries
Our Equity Warehouse at Mt.
Pleasant has leased the lower floor
of the Mt. Pleasant Commercial
building and has done a $500 dollar
business the first month and increas
ing rapidly. We are saving our mem
bers quite a few dollars that will
come .handy in getting our tax re
ceipts.
If the organized farmers of Ore
gon would all unite and use the Coiir

Portland Telegram says it is time to

times we find a lawyer who is a lead

The Equity has started out
change the old market system and is
ready to adopt better ways.
Mt. Pleasant needs a railroad, be
cause there is business there for one
and would make a lot more for it
self. We have about everything else
for a first class town except a blind
pig and a dog pound.
An Oklahoma farmer shipped a
carload of melons to bt. Paul, num
bering about one thousand melons.
The farmer got five cents apiece: the
freight was $75, or 7 1-2 cents
each. The consumer had to pay from
50 to 70 cents each. This shbws who
gets the big slices of the farmer's
melons.
According to the figures of Presi
dent Yokum of Frisco the rail
roads make one billion dollars every
year and now they are all begging
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for an increase in rates. The commis
sion said that if the roads would
obey the rebate law they would save
millions of money and the question
arises why don't the Denartment nf
Justice of the United States see to
it that the railroads obey the law ?
Theie are a few commissions in the
state of Oregon that draw hie- sal
aries and do us farmers more harm
tnan good. Ihe ' organized farmers
must learn to make Dolitics nart nf
vneir Dusiness and attend to thes
matters as business should be.
The consumer thinks the farmer
get it; the farmer thinks the railroad
gets it; but when the producers or
ganize and do their own selling
everybody will know that the middle
man gets it.
The high cost of living in the cit
ies is not fierce enough to drive peo
ple back to the farm and 5 cent mel
ons, strawberries and other things.
Even now the farmers' egg and

wagons and run a tram of (Travel

I believe river erravel is the lean

Here are a few questions we want
answered:
Of what use is a Senate?
What good do we get irom our
Postal Savings Banks?
Has the consumer been benefited by
free beef and farm produce coming
here from foreign countries?
What good will the people get out
of a government built railroad if it
is turned over to private individuals
to operate for profit?
If you were governor what would
you do with the unemployed ?
If all wealth is created by labor
whys hould Oregon object to laborers
coming here?
Should a merchant or farmer get
money from the government as cheap
as a banker lr thy have the same security?
Should politics be a business or
just a graft?

BOND ISSUE WON'T GO

L,aoei ior this County
- Hubbard, Feb. 18, 1914.
Editor Courier:
I wish to thank "New Citizen" for
his timely communication in last
week's Courier, by urging the bond
promoters to put the right label on
the box so the taxpayers may know
what to expect before taking the
medicine.
Label them Pacific Highway Bonds
in large letters and the taxpayers
will do the rest.
I would like to ask G. T. Watts
whether he considers the road work
wasted that was put on the roads in
the past twenty-five years ? I think if
he would have started out of Oregon
City over the roads as they were in
those days that he would not have
gotten very far, even with $600,000
bond issue. Mr. Watts has much to
to say about the money that has been
wasted. I contend that we have some
good roads for the funds that have
been expended.
Last week two of the bond promo
ters were sizing up the situation on
the court steps when one made the re
mark that "There is not much show
for us here, the south p'.id of the
county is inhabited by a set of the
ignoramuses. You couldn't beat any
thing into them with a triphammer."
Right you are. It will take more than
a triphammer to beat that bond steal
into this end of the county or I miss
my guess. .... J. S. Yoder

Lewis is Humorous, Sensible
and Makes you Think
Editor Courier:
I believe all this good road discus
sion has become contagious and that
I have caught it. I think you will be
lieve it when you see this eruption. I
will express my opinion on the sub
ject and then take to the woods for
safety.
I believe that most of those that
seem so well satisfied with the Dres-
ent system' of road construction are
supervisors or ex-supervisors and of
course feel a little sore when the
present system is criticized. I believe
it is impossible to please evervoTie in
a matter of this kind. Every method
will seem to work a hardship
on someone. I know that special lev
ies in a road district do that very
thing.
I know of one man who has r.M
his part of a special levy of 10 mills
for two years that amounted t.i
$50.00 per year, who has not received
one cent's worth of benefit Hirprtlv
from it. He is dissatisfied with that
method and there are others.
I believe the, monev raised for
road purposes has been spent for that
nurpose. I don't want to accuse of
ficials of dishonesty. "Officials are
never dishonest, vou know." But T
think the system is wrong. I- don't
think it is the best way. We don't
s:et one hundred cents' worth of re
sults from the expenditure of nnr dol
lar.
I believe that everybody is in fa
vor of good roads, but they all want
them built by their places. Like tariff
reform, you know. We are in favor
of lower rates on evervborlv's sche
dule but ours. I believe it is a poor
argument aeainst a bond issue tn ROV
that it will not be honestly spent.
That idea carried to its logical con
clusion would stop all public improve
ments. It mierht and should he hnn.
estiy administrated.
I believe that posterity would he
more likely to condemn us for bad
roads and no bonds, than for conH
roads and some indebtedness for the
same. I believe that bad roads would
have a greater tendency to keep out
prusuecuve settlers tnan e-onri rnnrfo
and bonds. I believe it foolish to wor
ry about the next generation's troub
les. I am about as full of trouble as
my skin can hold now to make ends
meet, and besides 1 am not sure at
all that debt is not a better legacy
than an abundance of coin. It all de-
pens on the amount in either rase
I believe that good roads should
begin at the market-place and extend
out in the county so that all the
people going to that station or mar
ket would be benefitted.
in other words build the trunk
lines first. A road one hundred miles
long from nowhere to nowhere would
not be very valuable.
I believe all this figuring on what
tne oonus win cost at maturity is
like the old story of what it would
nave amounted to at compound inter-
est in 50 years or so if we had never
smoked a cigar or gone to the cir
cus or treated our best girl to ice
cream, wny, if the average man
should figure it out at compound in
terest what he would cost from the
cradle to the grave; to feed and
clothe and educate and doctor and
to save his soul, he would be willing
to swear ne was not worth it and he
would be right, too.
I believe the only feasible wav to
ouud permanent roads, hard surfaced
if you please, is to issue bonds. It is
too expensive for the present taxpay
er. He can't furnish the cash, and
while you will say don't build then, I
think the end will justify the means.
It would be a good business prop
osition to bond Clackamas county
for $600,000 and honestly expend that
sum to build as many miles of good,
honest hard surfaced roads as It
would build, be it one hundred miles
or less. Now I am going to say one
more thing and go as I said in the
beginning.
I believe that the proposed Pacif
ic Highway across Clackamas county
from North to South should be part
of the hard surfaced road built by
part of the funds raised as I believe
it would accommodate and benefit
more farmers than any other route
of like length in the county and that
the assessed valuation along said
route would be greater than any
other route of equal length in the
county, and if as is conceded by all,
good roads would increase said valu
ation they would have to bear their
full proportion in the liquidation of
said bond issue so why not let them
have the road?

Springwater Writer Believes More
Benefits Lie in Direct Tax
' Springwater, Feb. 18, 1914.
Editor Courier:
In the Courier of the 12th of Feb
ruary, I first read F. H. King's
plans on the good road question, and
it sounds a great deal better to us
than the bonding, with its $1,000,000
discount and interest that we will
have to pay and not realize any
thing from it. That much money
would put our loads in shape so that
we could travel over them, and if
the joy riders want any better ones
let them vote a special tax and get
busy the same as we have to.
You said that if anyone came out
with a better plan than a bond issue
you would come over and boost it, so
here is your chance. If you want to
be on the winning side yoru had bet
ter come over. I haven't seen one
person who said that they would vote
for the bonds.

P. S. In regard to Mr. Brownell's
platform, we still remember the
erand stand he took on the side of
the people in the late recall fight.

U :
ing class. By this I do not mean that
the moneyed man should not have his
rights along with the rest of us. for
I do but no more, for he has got the
money and nas it easy compared with
us. I do not believe in class legisla
tion for either rich or poor, for the
rich should not monopolize it all, nor
if the poor will not rustle or strive,
he should be fed off the riches' wealth
for every man should live off of the
sweat of his brow.
In regard to taxation I believe if
a man owns 100 acres of land equal in
valuation along side of his poor
neighbor owning 10 acres, he should
pay 10 times the tax for maintaining
the government for those that have
can, and those that have not cannot.
If nominated and elected I will at all
times use that thought for my motto
in legislation.
I am also bitterly opposed to the
manufacture and sale of intoxicant,
spirituous or malt liquors except for
medical purposes, and will do every
thing in my power to bring about
such a condition in the State.
I believe in the repeal of the pres
ent 1 per cent penalty on the tax law
for it is not right, on the ground
that it is usurious, as it is 12 per cent
interest and our laws are 10 per
cent. The state itself is violating its
own law.
I believe in the abolishment of all
useless commissions, also the better
ment of labor conditions, economv in
all appropriations, and at all times I
will work for the betterment of con
ditions for the people at large and
will not let any private interest in
terfere with my public duty, and will
represent the people at all times, and
I still believe in the abolishment- of
the fish commission for the canneries
are the only ones deriving any bene
fit from it and it is a constant drain
on the taxpayers.
My belief is that there shou d be
some road legislation, but at pres
ent I am undecided just what it
should be, but at all times I will keen
the majority of the farmers in thot.
My platform in short is economy,
better social, moral and laboring conditions.

Comprehend Meaning of Road Law
It is astonishing how often fairlv
intelligent men fail to comprehend
the meaning of the cleaicst state
ments. G. A. Schuebel writing in the
Oregon City Courier, Quotes a cart
of the law regulating traffic on coun
try roads, as follows: "The maximum
weight of each load shall not be made
less than 2,500 pounds." Then he re
lieves himself of this gem: "Now if
a farmer is going to market, say with
1,000 or 1,500 pounds of wheat, oat
or anything else, he would have to
finish out his load with a rock or
something else, or he would be in
contempt of the court and mierht be
punished by the court." The law says
as clear as day that the county court
may fix the maximum load at 2.500
or more, and means that the farmer
or any one else may hau 2.500
pounds or less at any time. At least
a rudimentary understanding of the
English language should be one of
the first requirements for breaking

- For years we have been stating in the newspapers of the
country that a great many women have escaped serious op
erations by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and it is true.
We ' are permitted to publish in this announcement
extracts from the letters of five women. All have been
recently feceived unsolicited. Could any evidence be
more convincing?
IIIodgdon, Me. "I had paina in both sides and such a soreness
I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached and I
was so nervous I could not sleep, and I thought I never would be
any better until I submitted to an operation, but I commenced taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new
woman." Mrs. IIayward Sowers, Ilodgdon, Me.

pains in both sides and was very nervous. I had a growth
