farmers
The Equity has been
wherever organized.
a success
The Farmers' Union is a big bro
ther to the Equity.
Four hundred Granges organized
last year.
The Equity gained three hundred
per cent in one year.
Now you people who voted for the
big appropriations "Pay your taxes
early."
The Equity is a booster. It is for
the farmer and is going to boost the
farmer to the front.
John Rockefeller- is assessed at
nine hundred million and the levy is
$14 on the thousand John D. has re
fused to pay and the Oregon boosters
want capitalists to come to uregon,
It is strange but true that an ad
on the Equity page brings more bus
. iness than on any other, yet Oregon
City fails to provide a place for far
mers' horses, but take particular
pains to put his dog in the pound and
exploit him of a dollar or two to ran
som his kidnapped canine brute that
is always a true friend. -
According to our county assessors
property consisting of money, notes,
stocks, bonds and mortgages should
not be taxed. Now you standpat old
school politicians tell us what benefit
would it be to us to have John D. to
take ut his legal residence in Ore
gon?
It was poor, hard-working com
mon people who took up the dona
tion land claims in Oregon and con
verted a wilderness into the most
promising section of our nation and
on that same land now is a tax that
would make an old world king look
on our last legislature as a body of
tyrannical peacocks.
During the construction of the Pa
nama canal Uncle Sam bought sup
plies at wholesale in large lots and
sold direct to the consumers down
there and it was the wonder of the
people in the business world how
well and how cheap the people lived
down there. They could buy their
supplies cheaper than in the states,
where it was produced. Now comes
the news that John Burk, manager of
the supply department, is accused of
grafting one hundred and thirty
seven thousand dollars. Then how
much is grafted at home?
There has been a big improve
ment in the Parcel Post and more
and more business is being done and
express - companies are meeting the
competition so far.
The farmers of the principal far
ming states as well as their wives,
have given the Parcel Post a trial
and find they can not use it succes
fully as yet. It costs too much, but
we hope it has gone too far to re
cede and we think we will soon have
a practical, useful Parcel Post.
;The Equity Warehouse Co., 54
Front Street, Portland, is composed
of Equity members as stockholders,
who in turn elect a board who em
ploy a manager. We have made some
mistakes and are liable to make
more but with proper management
we can have the most important bus
iness institution in Portland. It is up
to each stockholder to be familiar
with its management and elect direc
tors who have the ability to so man
age the corporation as to avoid liti
gation and have as few complaints as
possible, establish confidence with
all shippers and build up trade with
satisfied customers.
We stockholders must take more '
interest in this.
SOCIALISTS'
C. W. BARZEE, Editor
PARTY CONVENTION
The State Executive Committee of
the Socialist party met in Salem on
the 22 inst. and selected April 5 and
6 as the date for the state conven
tion. Portland was chosen as the
city for holding same, and a full
ticket will be nominated.
As usual, in this state, the closest
contest will be for governor. So close
is the fight for this office in the past
and the present contest offers no
change) that all other candidates on
the Socialist ticket leads far ahead
of that nominee for state offices. A
Democratic governor in a Republican
state presents an unique situation.
Added to this extreme comes the In-'
dependent candidacy for Mr. U'Ren
bidding directly for working class
votes.
We shall see the socialist vote in
the face' of all these difficulties move
steadily upward as it has always
done. Once a Socialist, always a So
cialist. Legislation and Self Government
The principle of self government
as enunciated in the Declaration of
Independence is a doctrine of the
sovreignity of all the people. That is
to say, that the people collectively
shall be the supreme authority. That
the collective will in city, county,
state or national government should
be the supreme iaw. This doctrine is
an assumption that the public good
and general welfare can be best pro
moted and protected by the people
themselves. This places the will of
the majority above that of the rep
resentatives, senators, and govern
ors, presidents and judges.
Oregon has long had this power
in legislation; yet the legislators
chosen not being representatives of
the people, but of a certain class, on
ly, knowing, as they do, the cumber
some use of the initiative, have not
given the needed legislation. With
the adoption of the proposed propor
tional representation power of elec
ting our representatives we can pre
pare the way for practical legislation
by presenting and discussing meas
ures in the legislative assembly,
which if not favorably acted upon by
that body can be taken up- through
the initiative with very much less ex
pended energy and passed for the
benefit of the whole people. Give the
people of Oregon full representation
as they now have full franchise and t
Oregon will become still mor fam
EQUITY NEWS
We are not personally acquainted
with Mr. Parnell Averill, but after
reading his Courier letter of the 19th
last, have come to the conclusion that
he could represent this distrcit in
Congress to the satisfaction of all
honest working people. He seems to
have a knowledge of what is wrong
and a practical plan for better condi
tions. It does not matter to the Equ
ty editor whet party ticket he runs
on. Does it make any difference to
you what ticket your friends choose
to run on?
In our country the manufacturers
have 20 billion invested and employ
6 million laborers and turn out every
year 20 billion worth of goods at the
market price. The farmers own 26
billion and onerate 14 billion more
makinor 40 billion in all. They employ
over lz million laborers and the an
nual orodi'rt is worth on the market
only 9 billion. Why? Because the
farmers don t all organize and sell
with system like the manufacturers,
The city of Vienna, Germany,
builds tenements for its poor. Each
building is supplied with a co-operative
store for the benefit of the
tenants.
If anv citv here in the United Sta
tes of America should try to do any
thing ot that sort for the poor the
mayor and wise city "dads" would
henr from the retail merchants' as
sociations, the business men's club,
the chamber of commerce, and the
boards of trade in a way that would
cause indefinite delay.
jonn V: doesn't like the income
tax law a little bit. John said the
government has no ritrht to share in
the earnings of wealthy men, and he
said more than that. He said "Men of
reat wealth are God's trustees for
humsnitv." We wonder if God en
.rnEtd John n. to bribe legislatures
ind lawyers for federal iudges. We
wonder if God told him to prevent
tarmirs from making denatured al
cohol of potatoes thev could not sell
and 'f a man earns twentv dollars
ner day if God told John D. to keep
17 nf it and give him only 3.
We wonder what the millions of
destitute unemployed people think
ibout John D being their divine trus
tee.
Ida Tarbell wrote a little history
ot tne standard UU (Jo. and we won
der if John D. has any idea that it
is inspired? John has never read it
to his Sunday School class. Pres
Huerta has been John - D's rieht
bower all alon? and we wonder if he
doesn't think God and his prviate
trustee have fortrotten about several
little things lately down in Mexico.
General John D. Joshua had better
command the Sun-Moon Villa and
the U. S. to standpat a while longer
or a mistiesmp will be vacant. It is
capitalists that are especially invi
ted to Oregon laborers not wanted
nless shipped in from Europe, as
the imported brand is in demand.
Verilv, verily our divine trustees
have made a mess of it all.
The National chamber of com
merce met in Washington D. C. (We
suppose they try awfully hard to
keen politics out of their organiza
tion ? ? ? ) Nearly all of their speak
ers spoke in the same manner and
tried to carry the impression that
the trusts were a good thing and
should not be bothered by anti-mon-
opolv legislation. Mr. Fish, former
president of the telegraph and tele
phone trust said "There are at the
present time FEW instances IF ANY
of real monopolies in any 'sense of
the word, that are important in size
or character." There you have it! No
monopolies in this country. O no! but
thev don't want any anti monopoly
legislation. Their talk seems to bab
ble like some other self constituted
divine trustees.

It costs as much to move the pro
ducts of the farm to the consumer as
it does to produce them. This is not
my estimate. It is that of James Wil
son, the standpat governor of agri
culture, who says in his 1911 report:
"A consumer pays $1.00 for food; the
farmer gets fifty cents for it. Who
gets the rest?"
The farm products of America are
worth $9,000,000,000 on the farm. It
costs $9,000,000,000 more to get them
to the families that consume them.
It takes about 10 per cent of the
cost of goods on the American mar
ket to transport them to the Canal
Zone and deliver them to the work
ers there. It ought not to cost nearly
as much to move goods into the town
from the farm. HoweveJ, we .will
estimate that it costs five times as
much, and that 50 per cent of the
original value would measure the la
bor necessary to bridge the gulf be
tween the farm and the factory
workers. This leaves a waste of
$4,500,000,000 that is strewn along
the highways between the fields and
the home .
The Farm and the Small Farmer
Selected The farmer who owns a bit o!
ground, and his number is rapidly di
minishing, is fearful that when the
Socialists come into power they will
take his farm and parcel it out
among the indigent workers of the
city. No man can determine in ad
vance what the people themsevles
will do once they have the power in
their hands to transform this govern
ment into a great social machine to
be used for the good of all. But it is
my opinion that the farmer who is
cultivating his own plot of ground
will not be disturbed in his right to
work sixteen hours a day and reap a
harvest slightly above the subsis
tence point. We will assume that the
socialist. administration is now in full
charge of the functions of the nat
ional government. The expert in the
agricultural department submit
their report of the available land in
the west, still the property of the
government, that can be irrigated
wini me recommenaation that
work be started at once. Th
the labor department is called in
consultation and he report that

Last year there were 400 delegates
and only 20 farmers. We expect very
Uttlo of this meeting of any practt
cal benefit to farmers. In fact, who
will work to benefit a class that is
foreign to his own individual inter
est? Farmers themselves must do
what is done to benefit their own
conditions. Organize and help each
other.
The interest bearing debt of this
United States is ?913,317,49U, and ah
most three hundred and fifty mil
lions of this has been drawing inter
est since the Civil War, The several
states have debts amounting to
about the same and the large cities
debt is several times this sum. About
2,000 counties are in debt including
Clackamas, and we farmers are ask
ed to put six hundred thousand more
bonds on us here in Clackamas coun
ty. What gigantic fools we taxpay,
ers are.
Our national constitution has, af
ter thirty years' of agitation, been
amended so as to have U. S. senators
elected by a popular vote of the peo
ple.
Senator Johnson of Alabama died
and then Governor O'Neal hastened
to appoint his friend Frank P. Glass
to the United States Senate and the
Senate refused to seat him. Our Ore
gon senator, Dr. Harry Lane, is a
Democrat but refused to vote to seat
an illegally appointed candidate and
deserves a little praise ior our sena
tor and the honor of Oregon.
Postmaster Burleson has just fin
ished one of the most important and
exhaustive investigations for federal
ownership of all systems of commun
ication of intelligence. It recom
mends acquiring all telephones ex
vept farmer lines, all telegraph and
wireless systems.
Uncle Sammy has about finished
the big ditch and has a railroad con
tract awaiting him in Alaska of
about one thousand miles. He is quite
busy of late and if he would pick up
a tew million men and nx up tne
Mississippi river General Prosperity

long.
The People's Institute of New York
City, after learning from the report
of the State Food Commission that it
cost $150,000,000 annually to distri
bute the food of the city, recom
mends an increase in the weight lim
it, and lowering rates of Parcel Post.
Also that our Secretary of the Treas
ury issue paper money in 50 and 25
cent pieces; that coin be placed in
circulation in the form of 2ln cent
pieces, also 3 and 12 cent pieces,
but we fail to see how this shin-plaster
and chicken feed money is going
to make the middleman let loose.
Farmers' Bulletin No. 560 tells'
why farmers are not raising as much
beef as formerly and says that the
trouble is in the distributing. It says
In this country the farmer receives
only a small fraction of the price
paid by the consumer. There is little
or no competition in buying the far
mer's stock. The enormous fortunes
that have grown up in this business
in recent years show that the far
mer has not been getting his full
share of the profits."
In. comment 1 will say there are
other large fortunes in America that
indicate the same conditions in re
gard to cotton, corn, wheatj, Voats,
wool, lumber, oil and many other
things. Imports like rubber, coffee,
and sugar seem to be managed about
the same way. The only hope for the
farmer is to organize. Join "the Far
mer's Society of Equity and help to
change this system of marketing. We
are going to do our own buying and
selling, establish our own markets
and find a moie economical route to
the consumer.
there are available a million men who
during the capitalist regime-were un
able to find employment.
During the transition period it will
doubtless be necessary to use the fi
nancial resources of the government
and the treasury officials will be call
ed in and information will be sought
as to the amount of money on hand.
The discovery will be made that the
out going capitalist administration
had looted the treasury and left the
nation bankrupt.
Were old methods to be relied up
on this would indeed be a serious si
tuation. However the socialist ad
ministration will not be hampered by
old traditions and it will proceed at
once to utalize the credit of the na
tion in securing food and machinery
to be shipped to the scene of the ir
rigation projects. A call will be issu
ed for volunteers who will -travel
over the collectively owned railroads
to the point where their labor is
needed. With the experience the gov
ernment experts acquired in digging
the Panama canal this new work by
the government experts will be push
ed rapidly to completion. It will not
be necessary to introduce any very
radical departures from the methods
employed in building the Panama ca
nal. HELP THE KIDNEYS

young. Edward and Harold Vohs had
their cornets with them, and the
crowd was delighted with the music
they rendered.
Lunch was served about 1:00 thru

Editor Courier:
The following special from Salem
to the Journal is interesting:
ihe state forester last year
expended $16,802.61 for the for
est ' protection service. Of this
amount $16,548.36 was expended
for salaries and expenses of su
pervising wardens and other
field men, and $254.25 for fight
ing fires. Under the law the
counties are required to pay
one-third of this expense, so
Treasurer Kay is now sending
out statements to the various
counties showing their propor
tion. ' Eleven of the counties
have failed to pay their share
for the last three years. The
amount due from the counties
for last year's service is
$5,600.87.
Then follows the list of eleven de
linquent counties, among which is
Clackamas down for $270.
And here is another one:
State Fish and Game Commission
spends in 9 years $460,434.81. Say
Mr. Pacific Highway booster, how
many miles of hard-surfaced roads
would the $460,434.81 have built?
Me thinks, we could--get along with
out the $600,000 bond issue, says an
old farmer. Maybe it would be a
good scheme to vote t the whole com
mission out of business and existence.
In addition to the above amount our
latet legislature appropriated $250,-
000 for years 1913-14, making the
total in 11 years $710,434.81.

A hopgrowers' Club was organized
at Macksburg, Clackamas County,
Saturday, February 21, at the Scram

pointed to draw up a constitution
and by-laws. The election of officers
will take place on Saturday evening,
March 7, at the German hall, Macks

portance will take place.
The object of the Hopgrowers
Club is to purchase supplies neces
sary for the hop-picking season,
The first meeting of the Club was
largely attended by enthusiastic hop
men of Clackamas county, and no
doubt the meeting on Saturday even
ing, which is called at 8 o'clock, will
even be larger attended that that on
February 21. All engaged in the
growing of hops are eligible to mem

part of Clackamas are grown some of
the best hops that Oregon produces
and ships, and the prices are always
the best. Some of the growers have
already contracted the 1914 crop.

GRANGE OPPOSES BONDS
Takes Firm Stand and Explains its
Koad Policy
At the regular February meeting
of Central Grange, No. 276 its, mem
bers unanimously opposed the pro
$600,000 bond issue and also ununi
mously endorsed the position of the
national grange on the good roads
question as set forth in the follow
ing:
The National Grange has always
been positive and outspoken in its
policy relating to public highways
and has never once swerved from its
good roads policy, established many
years ago and annually reiterated
and emphasized. In view of the dis
cussions that have arisen in some
states over road matters, and parti
cularly because of the recent contro
versy in Pennsylvania, where the
Grange won such an overwhelming
victory over the allied automobile in
terests, it is in order to here and now
state it so clearly that no one can
misunderstand it, unless they wilfully
set out to do so.
Just what the good roads policy of
tne National Grange is may be read
ily understood from the resolutions
adopted by the National Grange at
Manchester. The vote for adoption
was unanimous and not a murmur
arose from any quarter against the
resolutions. Let every Patron pre
serve these resolutions and keep
them in a handy spot, ready to fur
nish instant and adequate answer to
any question which anybody may ask
as to how the National Grange stands
on good roads. Here are the resolu
tions in full, as unanimously adopted
at Manchester.
Whereas, the Grange has been the
pioneer in the good roads movement
and the sentiment for them is prac
tically universal, and there is great
danger of this sentiment beine diver
ted toward the construction of scen
ic highways and boulevards for the
benefit of tourists, and pleasure seek
ers, rather than for the business in
terests of the general public; and
Whereas, the roads needed first
are those which put the farmer in
close touch with the trading centers
and enable the producer and consum
er to reach each other quickly, inex
pensively and easily, and save the
farmer much money in the cost of
haulage and enables the consumer to
receive a share of the benefits: and
Whereas, while the scenic road ad
vertises the state, the interior high
way aeveiops its resources, ,the for
mer are desirable when they can be
afforded, but the latter are indispen
sable; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the National Grange
in this the 47th annual session, that
the old adage, business before pleas
ure, is especially true in regards to
the location and construction of pub
lic highways; and be it further
Resolved, that the legislative com
mittees of the Grange, both Nation
al and State, are urged to use every
honorable endeavor to secure first
business roads that will serve the
best interests of both producer and
consumer.
Resolved further, that we are on-
posed to the many bonding schemes
advanced by those seeking touring
roads, believing that the "pay-as-you
-eo" policy is more business-like.
Whereas, roads are local affairs and
the control should remain with the
state and the people in whose midst
they are; therefore
Resolved further, that the nation
al and state governments should
provide general standards of roads
toward which aid is given and pro
tect themselves by inspection, and a
refusal to make payment for tany
road falling below specified stan
dards. This would do away with a lot
of expensive official machinery.

Get Right, Mr. Clyde
Editor Courier:- .
The Bull Moose party should fall.
as it is clear to all that most all the
panks were stolen from the Socialist
party. It was organized solely bv a
down and out Republican who thought
mere mignt oe a mere chance of
getting back to the White House bv
taking the poor working class to
heart. And even that failed, so the
two old parties adopted the Progres
sive platform.
Now Mr. Clyde vou and I have ar
gued these points together a good
many times, and if you want to be a
true Progressive and work for the
good of the laboring class, get over
on the right side of the fence, and
join the Original, the Socialist party.
V. A. F.
Mr. Clyde Explains
Editor Courier:
With regards to registration the
voters of Clackamas county have
been told by the precinct clerks and
by the county clerk that there would
be only Republican and Democratic
parties at the May primary election.
That accounts for the small amount
of Progressives that have registered.
It looks queer that almost every man
you talk to is a Progressive. They
all believe in it both Democrats and
Republicans, but they have been wed
ded too long to a name that it is hard
to give it up. Everyone believes in
honesty and purity In public and pri
vate affairs, and the taxpayers be
lieve in economy in the expenditure
of their money. Now to have this
done we must nominate and elect only
men that have the public wefare at
heart and have patriotism enough to
work for the people's best interest.
We believe in electing farmers and
business men, we have tried lawyers
and they have been expensive. In
the last legislature of Oregon they
bungled the registration law so that
it cost this county $6,000.00. We
must say that our lawyer represen
tatives were for economy in state ex
penses. If I am elected I will stand on this
platform, .Economy in State Expen
ses, and only necessary appropria
tions to conduct the business of the
state; Repeal of unnecessary laws,
nnd strict enforcement of the laws;
less commissions and fish and game
wardens; no one to vote on bonds ex
cept taxpayers.

GLADSTONE GLEANINGS
The Gladstone Revival meetings
closed Sunday night. A great vic
tory for Christ and his church has
been won in this place. Many new
members have been added to the
church. Some converts, others old
members of other churches. Last
Sabbath evening 10 joined the church.
Money has not been the consideration
in these meetings. Both evangelist
and pastor are consecrated men that
would rather see souls saved than
reap a rich harvest of money. God
has richly blessed their efforts. Col
lections were taken two meetings
each week to help carry on the meet
ings. The evangelist each time tell
ing the congregation if they needed
the money in their home he did not
want their money. May God richly
bless these two pastors that have
labored so faithfully for Chrict and
His kingdom.

CAN'T EARN MONEY
WHEN YOU'RE LAID UP
There are a lot of people in this
town who cannot afford to be sick.
Perhaps none of you feel that you
can, but certainly some of you can t
for as soon as you are sick your wag
es stop and worry and debts begin to
pile up. The sensible thing to do, as
soon as you feel run-down and worn
out, no matter what the cause, is to
take something just as guick as you
can to build up your health and your
strength. Make yourself more com
fortable and provide against serious
sickness.
We don't believe there is any other
medicine made that will do as much
towards saving your health and thus
helping you save your money as Rex
all Olive Oil Emulsion. It is a medi
cine that gets right at the trouble
and relieves it by toning the nerves,
enriching the blood, and giving new
strength and health to the whole
body. It doesn't do this by means -of
alcohol or habit-forming drugs, be
cause it contains none. Its strength
and healthgiving power is due to the
pure Olive Oil and the Hypophos
phites, long endorsed by successful
physicians, the one for, its food val
ue, the other for its tonic value. Here,
for the first time, they are combined,
and the result is a real nerve, blood
and body-building medicine a real
strengthener that we are proud to
tell you about. You don't need to hes
itate in using it, because if it doesn't
make you strong and well again,
come back and .get your money. It
will be given you without word od
ouestion. Sold at the more than 7,000
Rexall stores, and in this town only
by us. $1.00. Huntley Bros. Co. Ore
