OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1914
OREGON
War! War! What for?
War produces widows, orphans
and bonds.
Bonds mean bondage bondage
means war.
" And war is H according to
Sherman.
We have armies and navies to pro
duce death.
We have the Farmers' Society of
Equity, a co-operative organization,
to produce life.
Prof. Wilson, who is acting presi
dent, wants farmers' organizations
prosecuted as a trust. We trust he
is acting only temporarily.
The continual rains have about
finished the prune crop after the
law compelled us to spray our trees,
and pay the inspector.
The salmon packers have raised
the price of canned salmon after we
taxpayers have raised the young sal
mon and paid wardens to prevent
anyone but canners from getting any
without more tax.
The price of ice went up all over
the U. S. at the same time, and we
taxpayers hire Congressmen to
make anti-trust laws.
Governor West stopped the gam
bling at Copperfield, but what about
the board of trade that bets on the
price of the wheat we are trying to
raise this year?
Business and politics have been
melted and molded together until it
is an impossibility for the farmers
to correct the evils of our marketing
system without correcting the laws
that govern it. Farmers should be
well posted on the law governing
their business.
We hear a great deal about the
waste of road money on account of
the system of laws governing road
taxes and building. There is a hun
dred times the waste of money in
our marketing system between the
farmer's front gate and the consum
er's kitchen; between the salmon in
the river and salmon at the meat
shop. It would save the people of
our cities millions of dollars to have
the organized farmers correct these
evils.
The farmers are the last trades
men to organize. Bankers have
always been organized; manufactur
ers nave been organized for years,
and in opposition to these are num
erous organizations of laboring
people and these two classes of or
ganizations have had commercial
strife and the strife grows constant
ly .more fierce and the farmer get
ting the worst of it from both sides.
Farmers must organize or be taxed
out of all independence.
Once again we are asking county
secretaries to send in the Equity
news from your locality. Local sec
retaries will please let us know what
you are doing that would interest the
farmers. Never mind about rules
of composition. When we are long
on adverbs we stick one on any
where until the supply is reduced to
normal. Brown's linotype furnishes
the punctuation and all you need to
minimi is tne news.
City folks don't seem to under
stand that hard surfaced roads would
be a double benefit to us Ruben Hay
s. eds. They would make it much
easier for the farmer to keep the
markets glutted the year around and
also much easier for Rube and his
team of plugs to haul his produce
back home before the city marshal
ran him in for feeding his horses,
and Rube could get out of town with
his load before the food inspectors
baptized him and his produce with a
liberal supply of standard oil.
'During the last ten years eight
hundred thousand farmers have left
the U. S. A. and gone to Camilla.
If any of those people left Oregon
they must have started before our
taxes came due. When we, who are
here, get our taxes paid there will
be no danger of us going anywhere
except the county farm. Then if
we had a dollar left we might be
tempted to go fishing instead of
contributing to road donations.
The Oregonian is opposed to W.
S. U'Ren's plan for the state to fall
heir to part of our millionaires' mon
ey for building good roads for every
body. We don't hear any protest from
the Oreconian when a Boston capi
talist wills an income of $1,200.00
to his pug dog. Good roads are not
very valuable if thev are worth no
more than pug poodle pups.
Harrisonville in West Virginia is
a town that does not hnve to make
a tax levy. The town owns a gas
well and makes enough money from
it to pay the city expenses and have
money left. Oregon City could hnve
electricity, water power and num
erous other things to sell that would
bring in nearly as much money as a
dog-pound. Oreeon City could cntnh
salmon and reduce the price to the
consumer instead of fishing for
stickers all the time.
According to law in Oregon City
thero is no appeal from the decision
of the city recorder. In Portland it
is airainst the state lnw for automo
biles to go without lights and against
the city law to hnve them. In Ore
gon the courts nor the tax commis
sion can tell what the tax law is so
thev tell the neonle to use their own
judgement. In Clackamas county it
is aeainst the law for our sheriff to
enforce the law and all this law was
made bv a legislature composed
m stly of lawyers. Could a body of
farmers do any worse?

EQUITY NEWS
are interested in the settlement of
this land. Just how much is good
farming land we do not know.
We are indebted to Mr. W. C.
Hawley, our congressman from this
district, for information in regard to
the O. and C. land grant and other
important matters pertaining to far
mers and agriculture in general.
Mr. Hawley is a candidate for re
election and the Equity should as
certain how he stands on rural cred
its, grain gambling, railroad regula
tion, and other questions on which
profitable agriculture depends. Other
candidates for congress should ex
plain also.
John Stark wants the money now
spent for battleships to go toward
building good roads, and Senator
Shafroth of Col., wants it used to
stop the spread of vice. We are in
favor of stopping naval expenditures
but just how to spend the money is
another question. Senator Jones of
Washington wants a clerk awfully
bad and Mr. Bryan wants a footman
to be in style. It could be used by
some of us Oregon farmers to pay
taxes or buy some fresh salmon.
Oregon has about fifty state com
missions, which is enough for a
commission form of government.
We see the fair exhibit of the school
children is to be confiscated and tak
en to the World's Fair. We do not
know what commission is the guil
ty one, but we voted $150,000 to
pay for property and other expenses
of Oregon's exhibit. These Oregon
commissions would take the false
teeth from an Irish policeman.
Congress has repealed the 20
cents per mile graft to themselves
and since they have realized that
they are candidates for re-election
they refused to vote their clerks a
rise in salary. They will vote to
exempt farmers' organizations from
the penalties of the anti-trust law
too, in spite of the instructions of
Prof. Wilson, the man who promised
us a rural credit system and who
has forgotten all about it.
The farmers of Clackamas county
have only one farmer running for
County Judge. He belongs to the
Grange, believes in co-operative or
ganizations and is opposed to put
ting the people of Clackamas County
in eternal bondage to build million
aires hard surfaced automobile roads
to joy-ride upon and control the mar
ket so as to get all the profit from
the farmers' hard labor and rob the
consumers too.
My dear reader, if you are a far
mer, and believe in the objects of
the Equity to make farming more
pleasant and profitable and if you
are in favor of lower taxes and less
state commissions and are opposed
to so many middlemen and market
manipulators, go to the polls May
15 and help us nominate a few of
the Equity farmers for office and
leave the lawyers and professional
men at home for a while.
Urges Farmers to Organize
Hanover, Kas. To the Weekly
Star: The letter of J. G. Calwalader
in the Weekly Star of April 15 ought
to receive the attention of every lar
mcr and business man, too.
The farmers, as a rule ,are not
business men, yet, but thank uod
for the co-operative movement which
will enable them to sell the products
of the farm on the same basis that
the manufacturer sells his products,
which means to find the cost of pro
duction and add to that enough for
decent living. But that cannot be
Gone except by organization.
What Mr. Cadwalader says is true
in every state. Ho says it is a ser
ious matter to make a living with
the whole family working from early
to late.
If all of us would do all in our
power to help the co-operative move
mcnt among farmers, instead of
knocking and then complaining of
our lot, these conditions would not
exist very long. We may receive
worlds of advice as to how to save
the wife from so much hard work, as
Mr. Cadwalader stated, but in the
mam the task is lor us to solve. No
one else will do it for us.
If anyone is doubtful that it can
ho done, I will cite them to the cot
ton growers of Texas, where the
Farmers' Educational and Co-operative
Union of America originated el
even vears ago and now has a mem
bership of upward of twenty thou
sand in the state of Kansas alone
and over 4 million in the United
States.-
Anyone can look this up for him
self and see whether or not they
were bene! ictcil.
Brother fanners, it is up to us to
get together ami right this wrong
and shake off some of the useless
middlemen.
J. W. Knedlik.

ALBRIGHT'S PLATFORM
What he Would do If Elected Sheriff
of Clackamas County
To the Voters of Clackamas Coun
ty: Jin seeking at your hands the re
publication nomination for the offlco
of Sheriff of Clackamas county at
the forthcoming primaries, I desiro
to say a few words in regard to my
self and my platform through the
columns of the Courier. While 1
am personally known to many of you,
and while 1 have tried to call upon all
of you, the press of my own worK has
made it impossible for me to visit an
portions of the county, and I believe
this the best way of reaching the vot
ing public.
I believe the sheriff should enforce
the laws as he finds them, and if hon
ored with the nomination and elec
ted, this will be my policy. The
people or their representatives make
the laws, and I do not believe that it
is any part of the sheriff's duties iu
enforce some of these laws and per
mit others to be violated, or to en
force some of them against certain
individuals and not against all. If
nominated and elected I shall do my
utmost to see that our laws are rig
idly yet justly enforced with regara
to all.
While I believe firmly in law en
forcement, I do not believe that in
order to enforce these statutes it is
necessary to be brutal or harsh. We
are all of us human beings, even tho
we may do wrong, and therefore I
believe in treating everybody with
as much consideration, kindness and
leniency as circumstances wilt" per
mit. Because a man may be in jail
or under restraint is no reason for
treating him harshly; or if a man is
sentenced to a term of punishment. I
do not believe that he should be tor
tured. If nominated and elected I
shall endeavor to have my actions to
wards all guided by justice and right,
and not by any spirit of vengeiul
ness or cruelty.
It is also the duty of the sheriff to
investigate complaints regarding al
leged infractions of the law, as these
complaints may be brought to his
notice. If nominated and elected I
pledge myself to look into every mat
ter officially brought before me, and
if I find a wrong has been commit
ted, or that a warning will rectify
matters, I promise to take whatever
action may be called for in the case.
As a county officer I believe that
the sheriff should do everything in
his power to conserve the public
moneys, and in line with this it will
be my policy, if nominated and elec
ted, to conduct my office on the most
economical system. There will be u
ledger kept by me and my deputies
at all 'times, in which will be set
down each day the work that each
each man has done and fees he's en
titled to, or the time on the work he
has spent, and this ledger will always
be opn to the inspection of the pub
lic. I will have nothing to hide in
my conduct of the office, no super
flous deputies; and as I shall expect
to do a full day's work every day my
self, I shall insist on my deputies do
ing the same.
I believe one of the principal du
ties oi the sheriff is to safeguard the
young men and women who are
growing into citizenship, and if hon
ored with your selection as nominee
and your support at the polls, I shall
make it my particular duty to see
that there is nowhere in this county

REPUBLICAN
Governor
Give this Job to a man
who will reduce Taxes
and cut down expenses
If you had an interest in a private business
you would want it conducted on business
principles. You have an interest in the
affairs of this State. The State of Orepm
is a business institution run for the benefit
of the people in it who, in a certain sense.
JOHNS
are stockholders in its business interests.
TAXES MUST BE REDUCED!
In the coming primary election, Charles A. Johns, of Portland,
will ask the vote of every person who believes (lie State of Oregon
needs to have taxes reduced and expenses cut down. The only way
to reduce taxes and cut down expenses is to apply the same principles
in running the State that you would apply in running your own business.
How many institutions would run along with an increase of oper
ating expenses from year to year ? Not many. Well, let's reduce
our taxes and cut down our expenses. Charles A. Johns, of Portland,

Oregon City, Clackamas County,
is my home. I have long been in
dentured with the city affairs in one
way or another, and I have served
as a member of the city council.
While a councilman many matters of
public importance, looking towards
the betterment and advancement of
the city, have been entrusted to my
hands, and I am willing o stand upo.
my record there to show the kind of
public servant I have been, and the
kind of public srevice for which I
stand. I may have differed honestly
with other men upon some subjects,
but though this difference has been
sincere on my part, I have always
bowed to the will of the majority,
and when a vote has once been cast
upon any question and a plan of ac
tion determined, I have always stood
for the enforcement of that plan or
action.
My whole policy, in public life, has
been that the majority rules, and that
when once the majority has spoken
it is the duty of every good citizen to
abide by and support the will of th
majority. It is upon this policy and
upon my record in following it that
I am appealing to you for your sup
port in the coming primaries.
If you think I will make an honest
conscientious and just sheriff of
Clackamas County, .1 ask you to vow
for me. If you honor me with tne
trust, I will hold it sacred, and will
not only see that your laws are obey
ed, but will obey them myself in all
things.
