Congress is long on investigations

It would be economy to investi
gate the economical record of some
of these economy candidates.
The farmers are short a candidate
for Senator and Representative Bn
Congress.
We seem to be short on quite a
number of minor state officers.
Oregon City must not get discour
aged. We just read of a city in the
desert of Peru that had not been wet
for twenty-two years.
Kansas is a prohibition state and
is sometimes bothered with drouths,
men as Bristow and Murdock, but
you never hear her boast oi an army

G. T. Hunt, candidate for the leg
islature, interviewed the Equity ed
iny ot-. t.Vin Pnurifir sanctum and we
were favorably impressed. He is for
economy and goes the limit in that
direction. He is a farmer and well
crmlipl with overall Dhilosophy. A
good man for the place.
The appropriaton for the office of

of farmers who do part of their own
thinking.
There is a bill before Congress
called the Murray Bill that would end
grain gambling on the same plan
that the Louisiana lottery was em
ed Jf Congress wtnted to protect
the people against this sort of prie-j
manipulator the pass this bill,

Boards of Trade.
Governor Glynn of New York, in a
special message to the legislature,
Feb. 10, said that agricultural organ
ization was needed in New York
more than legislation.
He recommended an appropriation
of twenty-five to fifty thousand dol
lars to be expended in a campaign of
organization. By lectures he would
teach co-operative organization for
the sale of farmers' produce. He
pointed out the success of. the tew
co-operauve urgouu.on -
state, and he recommends one cen
tral station with cold storage facili
ties. It -would be similar to Equity.
There is before Congress a bill to
prevent farmers from killing calves

butter two years old ought to be
cured sufficiently for those who want
the other fellows' business regulated
by law. The beef trust that is going
to sell beef at one dollar per pound

W S. U'Ren has been honored by
a position on the executive board of
the National Voters League with Mrs
E G. Evans of Boston, Herbert Big
elow of Cincinnati and a few other
noted reform leaders throughout the
U S There is more honor attached
. Vwwit.inn of this sort than being

Wisconsin has an income tax. Ten
per cent of this tax goes, for state
purposes. Each county retains twenty
per cent and seventy per cent re
mains in the town or township where
In Oregon we have no income tax

ies keep all, their road tax and the
farmers pay nau 01 w.cua
Senator bullivan
has introduced a bill in Congress for
the cities of the U. S. to receive half
of our federal income tax. Then some
people ask why farmers should or
ganize.
Farmers will soon be plowing and
planting another crop with little
hope of profit. We know prices will
' be dictated in a large measure by
combinations of men who belong to
Boards of Trade and numerous asso
ciations of market manipulators. It
has become so that a small crop
brings more money to the farmers
'than a. large one. Consumers get no
benefit from a large crop and all

aT to better their condition is to
organize unanimously and overcome
the evil influence of these evil com
binations of evil men. Try the Equity
plan.
din, the Eauity was organized In
Clackamas Co. there has listed a
purer political atmosphere. Every
Voter can feel the change in the bet-
tering of our county. This campaign
has brought out better men in all
parties. Some 6t our representative
farmers have announced. Several
Equity farmers are asking you for
support and we ask you to give them
due consideration. There is Brother
S. L. Casto for clerk: Brother Gris-
enthwaite for representative; Thorne
for sheriff, and others, and it is our
aim to raise the standard and stand
ing of our county; of our state; ana
our nation.
O. A. Henrix has answered the
question relating to the unemployed
very satisfactorily to us. We believe
he is on the right track. Of course
it entails some confiscation of prop
erty to prevent confiscation of the
lives of thousands of poor, who have
had their earnings confiscated by a
system of trade througn organizea
pftnitaliBts. Our taxes represent con
fiscation by governmental 'authority.
We now owe eighteen billion in bonds
and cannot pay them. What must we
do about it? It enslaves the work
ing people to pay just the interest.
The nations of the world owe more
than they can ever pay. What remedy
have you to offer?
,: L. Fliehmann of Basin, Wyoming,
shipped one thousand pounds of navy
beans by parcel post. He found that
it was cheaper than freight, as they
went back to the mines in the moun
tains and just how Uncle Sam got
them there was not stated, but if
these beans had been shipped JJor
seed instead of food Uncle Sam
would have charged 8 cents per lb.,
instead of the zone rate of one cent
per pound.

President Wilson is to appoint W.
H. Taft as a U. S. supreme judge.
Mr. Taft, in his speech at Hot
Springs, Va., expressed an opinion
that the poor people could not hope
to cope in the courts with men of
wealth. And in his speech at the
Waldorf Astoria, Jan. 28, 1912, he
said "In the effort to make the ju
diciary responsible to the whim of
the people 1 see destruction." "Quit
ting work is criminal." Wm H. Taft.
Here is another "Any wilful at
tempt of employees of a railroad in
the hands of a receiver to impede or
hinder the operation of the road is
contempt of court." Taft. "A boycott
is an unlawful conspiracy." Mr. Taft,
in his Cooper Union speech was ask
ed "What should a man do who is
hungry and out of work?" And Mr.
Wm. Taft replied "God knows, I
Hnn't"
The Equity editor refrains from
any comments on our uemocraue
president's appointment.
Some U. S. Senators wanted to
Rwat the Parcel Post and introduced
a bill to curtail the power of the
postmaster general to change rates,
weiehts or zones. It failed and the
law remains as it was. The vote stood
33 to 24.
Tt. io rumored that one express
company is to go out of business and
what. 1unk.it has' on hand will be tak
en over by another county in such a
way as not to violate any anti-trust
law. and if thev did the matter could
be adjusted "out of court" like many
trusts are now aomg.
Farmers are the best organized in
Denmark. They control the nation.
Thoir (nncress is composed of far
mers and so is the cabinet. The rul
ing class are farmers, who own less
than 80 acres of land. The Danes are
the most universally educated people
in the world and poverty is almost
unknown. Only eleven per cent of
the farmers are tenants and here m
the U. S. nearly 40 per cent are ten
ants. Denmark's exports average $380
per year for each farm which is
about $9 per acre. The government
owns the railroads and the farmers,
thru their organizations have form
ed co-operative markets and done
away with most of the middlemen.
The Danish farmer has his rural
credit bank and gets money at 4
per cent. The American farmer must
adopt the ways of the Dane and rule,
or become tenants to an aristocracy
of big business. ; .-..'
The Farmers' Society of Equity
has been organized all over the Uni
ted States and are forming their co
operative institutions. Are you ready
to help? Write us for information.
The farmers of the Pacific coast
are in a position geographically as to
cnmmanH anv advantage of any of
the world's markets and this advan
tage will be gi eater with the open-
intr of tne ranama canai. xne jruumu
st. farmer has a monopoly on
hnhs nrnnes. Wan berries, and with
the natural advantages of climate
and soil could rule the market on
canned fruit and most vegetables,
and all that pi events these advan
tages from bringing prosperity ana
independence, is the lack or organi
zation and co-operation.
Brother farmer, when you know
the hopeless condition you are in as
to prices and maiketing, and when
you read how farmers in Europe are
making a success of organization,
and you also read in nearly every
paper you pick up of the success of
some co-operative enterprise of the
farmers, why don't you join the Equi
ty? Get your neighbors to join with
you and form a clearing house. Write
to F. G. Buchanan, Oregon City, who
is the state secretary, and get full
information and literature on the
subject. You have a chance now to be
a leader in this great movement. You
farmara Ann 't have to feed and
clothe the American people and get
nothing for it. .
Those who produce . the wealth
should have it Join an organization
that will help you get it.

A local of the F. S. E. with 22
charter members, was organized on
March 11th by John Schmitke at the
town of Verboort in Wash. County.
The following officers were elected:
President, Anton Hermens; Vice
President, F. F. Lahare; Secretary
Treasurer, W. A. Vandervelden.
The organization is receiving op
position from the store owners of the
nearby towns.
Mr. Schmitke pointed out that in
addition to buying and selling direct
with the manufacturers, the society
could also be made a vehicle for the
redress of grievances in the matter
of burdensome taxation of which the
farmers throughout the country are
bitterly complaining. Mr. Schmitke
was applauded when he said the
County Court in Hillsboro ought to
be recalled.

THIS NEW MEDICINE
SAVES YOU MONEY
We are drueeists rieht here in
your town and make a living out of
the drug business, but it is because
people have to have drugs and not
because we like to see people sutler
we dont. Our duty is to render the
best service we can, and when some
one is ailing, we are interested in
seeing them take the best medicine
there is for this particular trouble.
We don't recommend "cure-alls," as
we don't believe there are such
things. We don't want you to spend
more than you have to. Some of you
get small wages, and when you're
sick, none at all, and you should get
the most you can for your money.
We ercently came across a new
emedy for increasing strength and
building up people who are run
down and emaciated. We know that a
slight trouble sometimes grows into
serious one, and to stop it in the
beginning, will save you money in
the end. This new compound is called
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion. It is the
best remedy when you are run-down
tired out, nervous no matter what
the cause. It doesn t merely stimulate
you and make you feel good for a
few hours, but takes hold of the
weakness and builds you up to a
healthy normal condition. It is a
real nerve-food tonic and builder of
good blood, strong niuscle, good di
gestion. It contains Hypophosphites,
which tone the nerves, and pure Ol
ive Oil, which nourishes the nerves,
the blood and the entire system.
Pleasant to take. We promise that if
you are not perfectly satisfied with it
we'll give back your money as soon
as you tell us. Sold only at the 7,000
Kexall Stores, and in this town only
by us. $1.00 Huntley Bros. Co.
