Markets lower on what we sell.
Flour, Sugar and other things are
higher.
The ownership of land is slipping
from the farmer.
Farmers have raised plenty and a
great quantity for export.
He gets paid for all this stuff at
the rate of about one dollar per day.
Life on the farm could be the most
enjoyable, but now it is a continual
drive for a meager existance.
If you want to get rich farming
never use a plow use a lead pencil.
If you are an extra good farmer
don't farm. Edit a newspaper.
If you are wise and anxious to im
part some knowledge, tell us what be
came oi tnat $iiju,uuu.
A bier bunch of candidates for the
ligislature are anxious for economy.
If they want an expert instructor call
on or address John F. Stark, Maple
Lane.
As far as production goes the
American farmer is a success but
when he comes to marketing he is a
fiat failure..
We thought if we owned our own
commission house in Portland we
could help our system of marketing
some and we may yet get some con
trol that way.
Farmers can make their fight on
the market in politics or out in the
bloody field of battle and lose in all
three and win peacefuly later on.
A short crop makes more money
for the farmer than a Dumper one.
Then whv do we donate hundreds of
thousands of dollars to scientific
agriculture to teach us how to pro
duce bumper crops ? We are a bunch
of wise euvs.
What benifit would it be to an Ore
gon farmer to know how to produce
one thousand crates of berries to the
acre if he had to sell them below cost
Plenty of men in Oregon City who
know what it costs to produce strawberries.

The Oregon City markets are so
low priced and the doctors' trust
keen their prices up so high we farm
ers can't afford to have even a slight
attack of appendicitis.
It costs the farmer at least one
dollar per crate to produce, pick, box
and crate strawberries, and you can

that neighbor of yours who says
"Keep out of politics" You get him
to explain just how it is. Then you
give us his remedy. We enjoy
joke.
We thought canneries would help
us out, and they might but we would
run right up against a trust when
we tried to buy the mndv'nery. Then
we run right vv against the same one
or mother one just like it when we
want to buy our cans and then again
we find ourselves right up against
another of the same kind of blood
sucking trusts when we went to sell
our canned goods. A great many
canneries have failed. Quite a imm
ber have not put up one can or had
fire in the boiler.
The farmer gets his big city pape

The X)reeon Journal of Mav 29
contains an article by A. L. Mill
president of the First National bank
of Portland, praising the new cur
rency law. His claims are so ex
travagant that even a noivo in fi
nance could not believe any part of
it. lie even claims that panic will
be impossible under the new currency
law. This new law simply puts the
government bclrml the ln.moy trust
and its object and aim is to produce
nothing hut panics. Any common
persons knows that if the people ha
money to transact business on a cash
basis bankers would starve out.
Bankers live ou interest and when
people pay what they owe and stop
interest hankers would bo forced out
of business. The new currency law
will compel! all tho people to pay
interest to the bankers trust anil
in the same paper over on the mar
ket page I read that the hog market
is 5 to 10 cents lower, fruits and
vegetables all lower. Hardly
enough grain trade to make a mar
ket. Egg market slow, chickens un
quiet, mil!' fight, on, country meat
weaker, etc., etc. Now all this
mniKei news snows now our new
currency law is producing good
times with ia farmers. We some
times hear a 'nicer say we must
keep out of politics. You please go
tell the hanker. We have been out
for 40 years.
Some equity members are heaping
a whole lot of blanis on the man
agement of tho Equity Warehouse
Company for mistakes that have
'been made. That they have made
mistakes they freely acknowledge
and feel as bad about it and even
worse than the patrons or stockhold
er They were the pick and choice
of all the stockholders and no bet
ter men could have been chosen.
They have done their best to bat
tle with conditions and farmers out
on the farms do not know what
these men have gone through with
out charge, without pay, and I do
not believe we have a set of men
who could have done better under the
conditions of trade. They have put
up a noble fight wtih .many sacri
fices and deserve nothing but praise.
We have not done as well as expected
but we can still put up a fight. Wo
do not believe we can overthrow the
present system of marketing in this
country with the use of money and
depending on money to do it for us.
Uur idea is to place the power in
the produce and make it pay. its way
as it goes. We farmers should not
carry the consumer 90 days and pay
cash. We can't if we wanted to be
cause we have not the cash, but we
have the producer. The banker has
ness DO days but we can not. We
are depending on someone to carry
us 90 days and we must have the
cash for our produce. A few farm
ers may be able to put up the money
and carry it through to success and
if they so decide us little fellows
will do all in our power to help them
and we must not blame any noe fori
.... T . . 1 . t

The people of this country have
for twenty years predicted war be
tween capital and labor and the situ
ation seems to be nearing that point
very rapidly of late. The Colorado
situation is beyond the power of the
governor or President Wilson. The
great body of citizens are in favor
of peace. Now here comes the word
in the Oregon Journal of May 17
saying tho Masons, Oddfellows and
Knights of Pythias were organizing
themselves into an army of civic mil
itia to be composed of fifty regi
ments with a full equipment of uni
forms and arms. The Knights of
Columbus is supposed to be a semi
military organization. War is one
of the worst crimes of civilization. It
shows a lack of justice among the
ruling class. The great body of
Americans do not want war. We
want Justice, Peace and Plenty.
It should be the aim of every good
citizen to prevent war and all the
horrors that go with it.
People who know no other way
to get justice but by murdering peo
ple are only half civilized. It is
never the guilty ones who go to the
front and get killed. It is always
the working people who, do the fight
ing and they kill each other instead
of defending each other as they
should.
Congress has turned down the
rural credit bill. They fixed the tar
iff all so nice that a man can go
to Portland and get a meal without
patronizing tho American farmer. He
can gei, ais meai. irom iunuua or
Argentina. Bread from Canadian
wheat. Butter from several coun
tries. Eggs from China cheaper
than the home article, and farmers
here producing these things below
cost. Nearly four hundred business
failures per week now, and not count
ing those of less than five thousand
dollars.
Congress voted one hundred mil
lion for war after already appropriat
ing more dollars for war than all we
spend for schools.
War must be the scientific rem
edy for all of America's troublqs.
It would kill off a lot of surplus
farmers, then we would have no over
production. We would have a fam
ine, and then the price would go up.
Oh! Yes! Give us a big long civil
war. We would kill off a lot of old
bachelors, then old maids could get
married. We could then vote bonds
and then we could have a base for
more banks, Of course, we need war
and lots of it. We don't happen to
have any horses to can for our sol
diers, but there are too many dogs
in the country, and they get in the
pound and it is not far to a butcher
shop. War would kill off a lot of
lazy working people that we will have
to feed next winter, or find them
work. There is not a trust but what
would be glad to sell its product to
Undo Sam in case of war, so you
see we can always be prepared as
long as we have lots of big trusts,
and if they got a few big orders the
wheels of industry would hum. The
only way to make a market for our
food products it to have war and kill
every body that eats. Draft every
able-bodied farmer, and let the wom
en do tho work.
But, Brother Farmer, what ever
you do don't join the Farmers' So
ciety of Equity because it costs two
and a half dollars, besides it is an or-
ganzmtion to benefit farmers in a
peaceable way, without murder if
possible. They wish to establish
Equity in our markets with profit
able prices for all farm produce.
Tho Denmark farmer has accomplish
ed the task without bloodshed.
If this equity society noes on like
the organizations of Denmark the
farmer will become the most import
ant man in our national scheme of
production and distribution. Funn
ing will become profitable and then
there will be a movement back to
the land, and no excuse for war or
rumors of war. No! don't ioin any
thing like that, for we must have
war and lots of it in order to make
history for modern civilization. Yes,

ficers was held, and Mr. C. E. Spence
was re-elected master for a third
term of two years without opposition.
Mrs. Mary S. Howard of Mulino, who'
has been state secretary for 16 years,
wa re-elected to this important posi
tion. The legislative committee had a
large number of resolutions under
consideration, some of which I wish
to mention:
Petitions for the 8-hour law, with
the necessary names, have been filed
with the secretary of state and will
be on the ballot at the November
election. This is the most drastic
measure so far placed before the peo
ple and should be carefully consid
ered, especially by farmers. Should
this measure become a law the cost
of prduction of farm products will
be doubled. The grange went on
record as being unanimously op
posed to this measure.
They also favor a law against the
hiring of gunmen by large corpora
tions and mining companies in time
of strikes (as in Colorado recently).
Favored a state meat inspection
law as against city ordinnace for
that purpose.
Favored the abolishment of state
senate.
Favored the proportional repre
sentation, opposed -to $1500 exemp
tion proposition.
The proposed amendment to the
school laws, making all voters at gen
eral election voters at all school elec
tions did not meet with much sup
port. This law would give all legal
voters, whether they are taxpayers
or not, or whether they had children
of school age or not, the right to
vote at school elections, not only for
directors and clerk, but on special
taxes for school purposes. This
measure was voted down by a large
majority.
Favored good roads from to mar
ket but opposed bonding.
Favored semi-annual payment of
taxes.
Opposed to taxing the whole state
for the protection of the fish and
game industry.
Favored appropriation for the pro-

ance in April. But an expert ac
countant couldn't find it on the books
in, that form. '
Perhaps this is sufficient to say
about Fifth street this week. If. this
article proves popular among Courier
readers, - there may be a sequel
printed next week. The Courier has
material enough for several sequels.
And quite a lot of people are saking
that the Courier print all the mater
ial it has on hand.
Before dropping the subject, it
may be well to say just a few things
about the "vindication" so generous
ly presented to the Fifth street job
in the council chamber last week.
Councilman Meyer, in "explaining"
how it happened that Fifth street
wasn't repaired before its "life" ex
pired, said that there was a scarcity
of rock when the work was ordered,
as he remembered it. "One of the
rock crushers was broken down and
the other one didn't have any rock
on hand or something like that,"
said Mr. Meyer. Mr. Templeton
saw to it that this trot into the col
umns of the Enterprise. Ex-councilman
Horton reads the Enterprise
sometimes, and he happened to note
that. And this is what he said'
AS A WOMAN SEES THINGS
Clackamas, Rt. 2, June 6.
Courier:
In Government it is always dan
gerous to get people into office who
do not understand their duties. Our
president must be thirty five years
of age before he can assume the du
ties as head of our nation and every
voter must be twenty-one before he
is able to understands what he is vot
ing for and so on. It is not good
for young girls to get into high
places before they have the age and
experience. Home is the best place
for girls until they are fitted for
other duties, which may call them
out into the ' industrial world. And
remember that one must select the
duties which they have a talent for.
It would not do 'to get a tailor to run
an engine, nor would it do to get
an engineer to run a tailor shop. So
it is with our young women. It is
ncz good for young girls to try to
run our government until they at
least are old enough to vote.
Public questions to be settled sa
tisfactory must be thought out and
discussed from all points of view. In
our markets and business one should
get the farmer's views, as well as the
people who are buying the produce.
The high cost of living would not be
too high if there was plenty of money
our working people. They have to
compete with their cheap labor. They
send all of their undesirables over
here and of course they have to be
provided for. They can work very
cheap, as they live cheap. Our people
must work cheap or get left out of a
job.

Councilman Meyer meant well. He
was doing the best that he could for
a friend of his for a friend who is
also a friend of Mr. Templeton's.
And besides that Mr. Meyer lives on
Jackson street, and Jackson street is
now being improved at the expense
of the general fund, though the street
committee of the council as a whole
has not ordered it done.
Mayor Jones also made a nice little
statement. Mayor Jones has been
dogged by Councilman Templeton for
three weeks, and has been implored
to make that statement every time
Templeton saw him. And that
Wednesday night Mr. Templeton
slipped him a note in the council
chamber again asking him to do it.
ture and if you can trace it all back
to the beginning you will find that the
real cause has been mostly ambition,
and jealousy. Men want to get into
office, not because they have any
thing to help the people with, but
simply to satisfy their longing for
pomp and power. A great many
people seem to think that our gov
ernment is simply a place for each
individual to draw a good salary, get
his family into society and himself
into difficulties, which he does not
know how to handle. Our intelligent
men who do the thinking of the world
know better. They know that every
individual who is sent to the legisla
ture has the responsibility of this
whole nation on his shoulders. And
they also know that in time man must

HOW TO GET STRENGTH
after any sickness is purely a matter of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking Scott's Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it nothing
compares with it. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.

Gentlemen; We have used"yiir Bliz
zard ensilage cutter the past season and
find them a very satisfactory machine
in every way. We put up over 600 tons
of com and had no trouble cutting from
50 to 55 tons per day and elevating it
to a height of 32 feet, using an L-15 ma
chine. We consider them the best ma
chine made for the purpose. We also
used it to cut alfalfa and clover hay
fed to sheep and cattle at our yards this
Winter, and it handled the work in good
shape.

They cost nearly as much in the beginning and far
more in the long run, or short run, either, for that
matter. The Blizzard is a practical machine. It com
bines knives, fan and fly wheel instead of using these
as separate units, thereby saving power
and making a more compact cutter. It
elevates without fail into the tallest silo.
It cuts the material with a sheer cut,
does not crush it. The Blizzard is re

The Blizzard is widely imitated; but
nothing can shake its popularity with
those who have used them.

And so the mayor obliged just to
get peace. And he prefaced his re
marks with: "I have been asked to
say ." But Mayor Jones was not
connected with the council at the
time the life of Fifth street was de
dared, and he has no first-hand in
formation on the matter.
And last of all remembeivj;hese:
Councilman Templeton has refused
to sign a statement to the effect that
he did not order the resurfacing of
Fifth street after the "life" of the
street was declared.
Councilman Templeton says he
doesn't know who ordered the work
done, yet he is chairman of the
street committee, and he knows that
the work cost $1,080 and not $1,400.
Councilman Templeton has looked
through the city records for the past
two years to try and discover some
authority for the work that has been
done on Fifth street, nnd the only
thing he found was an ordinance de
claring that the "life" of the street
expired December 31, 1912.
Councilman Templeton is the gen
tleman who said that he believed
newspaper reporters who showed an
inclination to investigate alleged
councilmanic irregularities had "pre
vented minds," tmd who added that
he thought such newspaper reporters
ought to be barred from council ses
sions.
