- Benefits of organization
cepted by all farmers.
are ac-
All farmers should join and" help
get these benefits.
Organization lifted the Denmark
farmer out of the ruts of poverty
and placed him in the front rank of
prosperity.
The American farmer has not a
word to say about the price he has
to sell for or the price he has to pay.
Join the Equity. j
Nearly every day we farmers read
of some trust meeting and raising
the price of what they have to sell.
The farmers cannot set the price
' any crop until they are organized.
When we are organized we can con
trol the market.
; We can frame laws that will take
away special privileges for idlers to
make millions from our crops while
we sell for less than cost.
Your Equity editor proposes to tell
the truth and inform the farmers
why and how they are robbed. We
are tired of milk and water sop that
has no truth or benefit in it.
We farmers always will be poor as
long as we allow our crops and our

Our Equity warehouse at Portland
and to be a big help to the farmers
and who patronize it should be sats
fied customers. It pays no dividend
on stock. It is owned by Equity far
mers who elect a board of directors
, who hire a manager and yet it
belongs to the Front St. Union of
commission houses. It seems we
cannot do business without belong
ing to this trust. Brother Campaa
has suggested that the directors of
the Equity and of the Equity Ware
house Co. meet at the same time
time and place. Good! get busy.
We do not propose to stay out of
polities. We are going to get a law
governing the distribution of food
If the trusts call out their pri
vate army we farmers will see to it
that they salute the flag.
The Equity has numerous clearing
houses all over the country that are
saving the members manv dollars
and are doing it in a co-operative
way without belonging to any trust.
We must get away from the trusts if
we ever get closer to the consumer.
We can not feed, clothe and educate
our families like Americans should
as long as we are compelled to pay
all our money to trusts in interest,
rent and profit.
Congressman Bryan knows how to
put a stop to the horrors of the
American coal mines. His bill, if
made into a law, would end strikes;
would employ labor at good wages
and still give people coal at cost.
Mr. Bryan is from the state of Wash
ington and we do not know whether
he is a Democrat or Republican. He
is one or the other and who cares
which ? He should have the sup.
port of everybody in ending these
horrors. 1
The Oregon City Courier now has
a' circulation greater than any pa
per between Portland and Eugene,
having gone ahead of any paper in
Salem. The subscriptions are still
coming in. The Courier is the only
paper in Oregon that champions the
cause of the farmer and stays with
it and wins. If the farmers do their
duty the Courier will soon have the
largest circulation of any paper in
Oregon.
The railroads of this county have
sold all the watered stock they can
sell. They have sold about all the
bonds they can sell the people and
they are the ones who are paying all
the charges they can stand and the
whole railroad system is about to go
bankrupt and the people who hold
the worthless stock and bonds will
be lost. Nobody has gained except
the few bankers who compose the
money trust.- How much blame
should the American people take?
Why should eight of our states in
this grand old U. S. A. be bonded to
Englishmen when Uncle Sam has 840
tons of gold locked up in Wall Street
N. Y. ? Why should millions of
people be unemployed and starving
when Uncle Sam can appropriate
$100,000,000 to fight ' people who
are our nearest neighbors? Why

out of the ruts of poverty.
We had hoped the Oregon City
Commercial Club and Live Wires
would accomplish something with
their harmony ( ? ) crusade. We still
believe there are men in Oregon City
who would mate up with earnest
business farmers for better condit
ions in Clackamas countv and accom
plish something for the good of all.
For proof of this read the action of
some of the business men in regard
to farmers' teams -in last week's
Courier. We appreciate it and so
will our horses.
The farmers, by organizing and
meeting often and discussing the
best ways, , can form their own co
operative channels for their trade to1
pass through. Maple Lane Local
has an ' important subject to discuss
at each meeting. Rural Credits was
the subject at the last meeting. In
this way the members become posted
on the important questions of the
day and are able to cast an intelli
gent vote in their own interests, and
they stick together.

, ' CASTO'S OPEN LETTER
Who He Is, What He Is, and What
He Advocates
To the Republican voters of Clacka
mas county: '
As all of you are aware, I am a
candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for the office of County Clerk
of this county and in connection with
this fact I want to say a few words
regarding myself and the affairs of
said office.
I am desirous of becoming clerk of
this county, because I am, and have
been, intensely interested for many
years in the affairs of the county,
and I feel that with my educational,
clerical, and business ability, that 1
can give the people of the county an
efficient, economical and a sound
business administration.
Clackamas County has been my
home almost continously for the past
38 years and I have never before
been a candidate for a public office.
I own a farm, and am, and have
been for the past 15 years a taxpay
er of said county.
I received my education in the
public schools of this county and the
Fraded and high school of Portland,
am a graduate' of the Oregon Agri
cultural college of Corvallis, Oregon.
I began clerical work in a small way
when 14 years of age and after fin
ishing college was employed for
many years in the various railroad
accounting offices .of Portland, at the
same time retaining my residence in
this county. ,
At the present time I am engaged
in farming on my farm which is lo
cated eight miles from Oregon City.
There is one thing in connection
with the office on which I wish to
speak in detail and that is in the
matter of the equalization of assess
ments. By virtue of his position the
county clerk is a member of the coun
ty board of equalization and I hon
o'otlv holieve. and I find many voters
throughout the county who believe
with me, memDers oi uus miu
ought to be free-holders and taxpay
ers of the county.
There seems to be a general feel
ing, especially among the farmers
and small home owners that. farm
lands are being assessed far out of
proportion to other forms of taxable
property. If nominated and elected

MOUNTAIN VIEW
We have been wondering what in
ducement we could offer tne booster
parade to come up Molalla Ave. We
will decorate our building and give
the parade a happy welcome. This
is the prettiest part of Oregon City
and in three years more will show
up the best streets, the nicest homes
and the most enterprising people
found anywhere.
Frank Albrignt is Duiiding a new
house in the Holmes addition.
John Lewellen is preparing to
build a 5 room bungalow on Uuane
treet.
We expect to see every home in
Mountain View with neat hwr.s in
front of them and a fountain at the
watering trough near Everhart a,id
Halls store and an electric car line
(or an automobile route for the down
town traffic.
Onlv a few more days and the bat-
tic of the many will be centerel on
e tew and the worry will last uii-
til next November, and we hope our
one woman candidate, Miss Iva Har
rington, will win out with a big ma
jority. Miss Harrington is 3urely
competent for the office she is seek
ing. While we don t approve ot wo
men holding office in some of the
departments of government, such as
sheriff or policeman or judge altho
she might do better than some men
who have held these offices.
We have been wondering at some
new departures lately. The latest
being a tango dance for a drawing
card for the opening of a new soda
fountain. What next?
Mr. Sanders has moved back onto
Pear street, having purchased prop
erty of W. A. Smith.
William Jones of Carus, has been
spending several klays here with his
mother, Mrs. Rpehl, who has been on
the sick list,
Mrs. Amanda Hickman and her
grandaughter, Wanda, have been vis
iting Wltn ur, jnicftiiiau oi aervuise.
The delivery team of Everhart and
Hall ran away recently, tearing up
the wagon and harness. It ran over
a disk harrow in a field near Moun
tain View cemetery, narrowly escap
ing serious injury. They had broken
loose from a tree to which they were
tied while the man was-delivering
goods.
Mrs. Albert Smith died at her
home on Molalla Ave., last Sunday
morning after a long illness. She re
cently returned from the Oregon City
hospital apparently much improved,
but suddenly became worse and soon
passed away. She leaves a husband
and four children. Funeral services
were held Tuesday afternoon, inter
ment being in the Mountain View
cemetery.

ty:
I am a candidate for the office of

lieve the records will show that I was
the onlv assessor who ever raised the

ALBRIGHT'S PLATFORM
What he Would do If Elected Sheriff
of Clackamas County
To the Voters of Clackamas Coun
ty: . .
In seeking at your hands the r-
publication nomination for the officb
of Sheriff of Clackamas county at
the forthcoming primaries, I desire
to say a few words in regard to my-
selt and my piattorm tnrougn tne
columns ot the Courier. While i
am personally known to many of you,
and while I have tried to call upon all
of you, the press of my own worK has
made it impossible for me to visit all
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 lo
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. ll
nominated and elected I shall do my
utmost to see that our laws are rig
idly yet justly enforced with regard
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 maydo wrong, and therefore 1
believe in treating everybody with
as much consideration, kindness and
leniency as circumstances will 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 1
shall endeavor to have my actions to
wards all guided by justice and right,
and not by any spirit of vengeful-
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 nis
notice. If nominated and elected I
pledge myself to look into every mat
ter oiticiaiiy brought beiore me, ano
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 countv otiicer 1 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
lederer 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 lees ne s en
titled to, or the time on the work he
has spent, and this ledger will always
be open to the inspection of the pub
lic. 1 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 sam.
I believe one of the principal du
ties of 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
any infraction of the laws relating to
the protection of minors, and I shall
constantly make it my endeavor to
keep conditions throughout he coun
ty at their best. The sheriff must do
this, as I see it, to fulfill his oath of
office. .- '
Oregon City, Clackamas County,
is my home. I have long been in-
dentified with the city affairs in one
way or another, and J. have served
as a member of the city council.
While a councilman many matters oi
public importance, looking towards
the betterment and advancement oi
the city, have been entrusted "to my
hand3, and I am willing o stand upo.i
my record there to show the kind of
public servant I have been, and the
kind of public srevice for which 1
stand. 1 may have diltered nonesuy
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
tinn determined. I have always stood
for trie enforcement of that plan or
action.
Mv whole policy, in public life, has
been that the majority rules, and that
when once the majority has spoken
it is the dutv of every good citizen to
abide by and support the will of tn
majority. It is upon tnis pont-y aim
upon my record in following it that
1 am appealing to you ior your sup-
nnrt. in the cominer primaries.
If you think l win mane an nones
conscientious and just sheriff of
Clackamas County, I ask you to vote
for me. If you honor me with the
. . . . , ".f, i .
trust, I will hold it sacred, and will
not only see that your laws are obey
ed, but will obey them myself in all

Give this Job to a man
who will reduce Taxes
and cut down expenses
If ypu had an interest in a private business
you would want it conducted on business
principles. You have an interest in the
affairs of thii State. The State of Oregon
is a business institution run lor the benefit
of the people in it who, in a certain sense,
are stockholders in its business interests.
TAXES MUST BE REDUCED!
In the comine primary election, Charles A. Johns, of Portland,
will ask the vote of every person who believes the 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 runnino; your own business.
How many institutions would run along with an increase of oper
ating expenses from year to year ? Not many. Well, lei's reduce
our taxes and cut down our expenses. Charles A. Johns, of Portland,
is running on that platform and stands on his platform. Get him on
the job! Start thinking about this today!
Will you elect a man who will cut down expenses and reduce
taxes, or a politician, as our next Governor ? The issue is clear.
One will cut down taxes the "other will give jobs to his political
friends. Which do you want ? , Paid Advertisement.
