is the result of years of constant experiment. The manufacturers
have spared no expense whatever to give to range users a range that
represents the highest efficiency to be obtained for the least cost.
They have succeeded in making a vange, the saving in fuel consump
tion which will pay for the range in a few years.
Theb ody of the Majestic is made of CHARCOAL IRON
a material which by actual test resists rust 300 per cent greater than
steel; it is more expensive material than steel but the Majestic is not
built the cheapest. The entire top, all doors and other parts of the
Majestic are made of Malleable Iron, a non-breakable material that
will stand all kinds of rough usage.

OREGON EQUITY; NEWS
State Union meeting tomorrow.
All state officers are to be elected.
The next National Union meeting
will be at Focotello, Idaho.
Farmers' organizations will write
some history in the next few. years.
Farmers are asking each other
what crops they can produce that will
pay. - ' -
We believe the most profitable
crop now is organization and scien
tific marketing.
' The Equity Warehouse at 54
Front St., Portland, is a commission
house owned and operated by Equity
members. It is our wholesale gro
cery and general mail-order house.
It deals in most everything the far

Our O. A. C. is quite an expensive
institution to us and we think they
might be a big help if 'they would.
The cron of lawvers. doctors and
preachers seem large enough, but If
we would be very particular in se

We have been a source of trouble
to our agricultural schools in urging
them to produce rust-proof grains.
Now we want tnem to produce a lew
varieties that will prove trust-proof.
Oreeon's Chamber of Commerce
and realty boards want the large
farms cut up into small units. Now
our government says farms of less
than one hundred acres do not pay.
The Eauitv Society does not own
any Dart of this paper. We are giv

editor is paid -partly by the Courier

Brother Eckman of the Telephone
Register does not belong to that
class of editors that have their edi
torials shipped in 'ike nails. He is
bold enougn to write them and he de
votes space to criticize Helen Kel
ler's ideas of charity and social jus
tice. When a system of production
and distribution adooted and defend
ed by society takes all the material
blessines 'produced by the workers
and gives back to these same work
ers enough barely to sustain lite and
calls that charity, even a country ed
itor with sight and hearing ought to
see at least a part of the social theft.
If Brother Eckman will read "The
Hand of the World" by Helen Kel
ler, his knowledge and soul will ex
pand with his sense of justice. Ed
itors are prone to choose their ideas
of justice from "job work of soul
less corporations. Many rays . of
hope appear in the columns or tne
Register, but Oregon is too well
supplied with literary slaves who
hold the pencil guided by big busi
ness, whose idea of justice consists
of the lowest wages and highest
profits possible within the law.
People who work are demanding
something better..
Coneressman Murdock of Kansas,
in a speech, in the House "The far
mer pleads in vain for relief from
conditions which force him to carry
the load of a heavy mortgage on ail
his possessions, while speculators on
the exchanges iuerele with his pro
duce and stack the quotations against
him. Some- day the people may
adopt the -tactics of "the interests"
of the country and station men in
Washineton to watch the course o
legislaion and report fully and truly
of the Droceedines. Then even an
amateur nrophet may safely predict
a political revolution and the down
fall of the two old political parties'.'
"Phil" Murdock is a Progressive
and a candidate for U. S. Senator
azainst Senator Bristow.
Phil is red headed and a scrapper,
and if he defends the farmers the
boards of trade might as well hoist
the white flag now.
You. Brother Farmer, if not
member of a good organization for

on freight and passenger fares to
pay- it or in case of government own
ership, to saddle off a lot of interest
bearing debt on us fool Americans.
The interstate commerce commission
has discovered that C M. & St. P.
reported their income five million
more than it really was, in order to
get suckers to buy its bonds. We
used to object to railroads issuing
watered stock, but our kicking didn't
amount to anything. Now this same
watered stock is bonded and we pay
the rate in order to enable the rail
roads to pay interest as well as divi
dends., Now, under our new cur
rency law the bankers will buy these
bonds below par, draw interest at
par, deposit them with regional banks
and draw U. S. money at par. Is it
any wonder that the men who own
the banks own the bonds, the rail
roads, the government, the people,
the markets and the courts. Where
will it all stop? '
STAND WITH EACH OTHER
Ud in .Tacoma. Wash., the Social
ists have started a movement for a
large mercantile establishment on a
co-operative plan. They are to buy
in large quantities and sell to mem
bers at cost.. They have sold over
one thousand shares and are selling
at the rate of over 50 shares per
day. They think that it will help
them to get control of the city pol
itics. Socialists nave always claimed
they were for co-operation, but have
been a long time getting started at
it. Before they manage the whole
city let them prove that they can
manage one big store. In this new
venture we wish them success. Now
let the Democrats, Progressives and
Republicans start some co-operative
business and show the people what
their schemes are worth to the gen
eral public. The Equity has built up
a powerful organization because thru
their co-operative ouying ana sell
ing they are making and, saving dol
lars for the members.

Editor Courier:
In nearly every issue of the Cour
ier you see where some poor, ignor
ant mutt of a farmer is hollering . hTs
head off about the O. A. C. and the
work it is doing. They say they
don't want to know what to raise o
how to raise it, but they do want to
know how to sell their produce af

I claim that it is a pretty good
thing to know how to raise tne crops

Brief Outline of Business Transacted
- at : Saturday's Meeting
The County Union of the Farmers'
Society of Equity met last Saturday
at Woodman Hall.
The usual committees were ap
pointed, and while waiting for their
report delegates discussed several
Questions. The main subiect was
taxation with its many phases.
brother Uasser compared our
prices and manner or marketing
with Switzerland and the points
brought out were in favor of Swit
zerland on account of the thorough
organization of that country . along
agricultural lines. A resolution
against professional men taking up
our time was put through and here
after the time of the County Union
will be reserved for delegates only.
We favor semi-annual payment of
taxes. We abolished the state game
laws and its commission.
We favor an exchange of frater
nal delegates with other orders.
A committee will be appointed to
meet the city council or committee
of same to get a better ordinance in
regard to farmers' teams, also to see
if a city market could not be estab
lished so as to benefit both the far
mer and consumer.
A lively discussion of our Port
land Warehouse Company followed
and resolutions passed. Adjourned
to meet in three months.

Denmark has become a great ag
ricultural nation. Farmers are well
educated. The school fystem is so
organized that agriculture is the
foundation and schools of the higher
education are scattered over the dif
ferent agricultural districts. It Is
not necessary lor Doys ana gins to
leave home to attend an agricultural
school. Sixty-one percent of Den
mark s population make their living
from the soil. The country is out
growing the cities. People in Ore
gon will go back to the farm when
it will pay to do so.
The State of New York has gone
through the motions of giving the
farmers a State Land Bank. - We are
not well enough posted on the bill to
give the merits or demerits of its
provisions. A state that undertakes
to establish a bankintr system for
the farmer will find that the few
hankers in the state have more in
fluence with the legislature than all
the farmers because the bankers am
organized and the farmers are not.
Farmers had better get busy.

anil vou have proved it when you be

Portland, wnicn you are aware oi u
vou read the Courier, and all you
farmers will have to do is to ship
your produce- to said warehouse and
stick to it. Don't bite at a penny
like a sucker would a fish worm
when a bait is thrown out to you by
the wholesaler or the commission
men as they have done and are loing
all they can to kill the Equity. Now
farmers have to organize against
those that are organized solidly
acrainat them.
It was through organization that
the midd emen has secured such
hold on vou. But for all of that thi
farmer has got a hundred to one
cinch on the middleman or anyone
else. He has ihe goods which the
pitv nennle have to have at any

point and it won't be long before you
will have the dog by the tail and a
