UST HOW SUCCESSFUL a co-ojerative company can become uml
proper management and careful attention from a responsible head is
exemplified in the; case of the Molalla Telephone company in it annual
report.
Only a few day ago that company made it statement for the year and
chose it administrative officers. During that time, with bur 24.) members,
it had purchased $1500 worth of property, paid it employes when their sal
aries were due, met all of its outstanding indebtedness, contracted and paii:
for most of it contemplated improvements, and CHARGED A MONTH-

Classes A anil H. In Uass A. the rate of payment by the employer is three s,yfre , pr;va.y ownrj corporation in that same field and were it to
T cent and by the employee one-half of one per cent. In Class II, the em- i., . molMlDOv m ,1., business of that ritv and the countrv immediately sur
ploytr pay! one and one half per cent and the employee one-fourth of one per rollnj;nij ;tf ,he omcfri 0f ,,e corporation would be busy explaining to the
in Lias. a. ooui me employer and workmen are entitled to exemption fllrmrrt thr , ,,e d ,,e Ittenjant exKMct of the exchange that made
t monthly rental of one dollar or a dollar and a half absolutely necessary.
This goe to show that a co-operative scheme can be made to pay if the
proper attention it given to detail and the 'subscribers to the plan to place
a man in charge who is directly responsible to the holders of the stock for the
way that the enterprise is managed.
There have been several such companies started throughout the countrv
as a vigorous protest against the excessive charges that are made by the
trust. I hey have, in many instances, failed because of the lack of business
ability of the men who have been placed in the responsible positions of execu
tive management.
Because of the trust methods of business, it is often impossible for the
cent.
when the individual employer has to his credit, three per cent of his annual pav
roll and no accidents have occurred in his plant; while under Class B, the
amount required to he maintained by the employer in the accident fund it one
and one-half per cent of the pay roll.
The law is elective, both in its application to the employer and employee,
either of whom may elect to come in or stay out, but employers in any hazard
bus occupations, who elect not to take advantage of the Act, are deprived of
the common law defense of contributory negligence, fellow servant liability
and assumption of risk in any action for damages by their employees. Work
men who reject the Act lose the benefit! provided.
The Oregon law provides a liberal schedule of compensation for injured
workmen and for the beneficiaries of workmen who lose their lives in indus
trial accidents. Thr Act also provide for first aid to injured workmen in an
amount not to exceed $250 in one case
Any person interested in the subject can obtain a copy of the law by writ

A S WASTEFUL OF ENERGY at the roads of the state are of money
C is the effort of the Capital Journal of Salem to come to bat he-
" " roically for the roads of Marion county and to consign to that dii
tmemihed company in the Ananias club one David swing Kicker, special eor-
rrspondrnt for the Oregonian, because be told the truth.
Marion county roads are as bad as Clackamas county roads. There
is no getting away from the fact. It is not the duty of any newspaper to
stand up and defend the highway in its territory when it knows those high
ways are in a rotten condition and when it sees the daily expenditures that the
county makes and the negative results that are obtained.
i Outside of Multnomah county, there are few respectable roads in the
State, the Capital Journal notwithstanding. Just because Ricker shot facts
to the people of that county like a drive out to right field is no particular
reason for the peevishness of the Journal nor for its readiness to come to bat
and try to defend something that is convicted on sight. The roads of this
state might just as well enter a plea of guilty and take their medicine. There
subscriber to get exactly the service that he would like to have over such a
telephone system because he cannot get all of the cities and towns through
an independent concern that are reached by the wires of the monopoly. But
the business of Molalla, at the present time, it largely transacted with the
other cities in the county and connection that will place these other town
within an elbow's length of the subscribers there will and have proved amply
satisfactory to the business men who are concerned.
Trusts, grnerally, are driving the country to that form of independence
that expresses itself in co-operating companies and that has been indicated by
the more general demand for the government or state control of public ser
vice corporations. Some years ago, the country would have been horror-
stricken had there hern suggestions made that government ownership of rail
roads, telephone, and telegraph lines were even possible but the people have
come now to the point where the luggestion does not now throw them into
such spasms as they had, for instance, when one William Jennings Bryan
returned from hit trip around the world and announced that he was inclined
to favor the government control of such enterprises.
This change of public sentiment is due, not so much to the success of
these independent companies, as to the peculiar tactics that have been em
ployed by the trust in its fight airintt the competing concerns. The excessive
rates that are often charged by railroads or other public serving companies
have been, in the main, responsible for the fact that the people are growing
more and more to demand a stringent supervision by federal and state au-

net decrease in outstanding withdrawals in the public-land State of nearly
1 ,630,000 acre. The action was based on recommendation to the Secre
tary by the United States Geological Survey.
The Slates most affected are Montana, in which 120,000 ai res hereto
fore included in phosphate lands were shown by the Geological Survey to be
not phosphate bearing and were therefore restored to entry North Dakotil
in which the withdraw als of coal land were likewise reduced by over 646,000
acres; and Washington and Wyoming, where there were reductions of near
ly 500,000 and 400,000 acres, respectively, In coal-land withdrawals. The
principal areas withdrawn during the month were in California public-water
reserves aggregating 36,000 acres were created, and in Wyoming more rtian
12,000 acres were withdrawn for the same purpose.
The net effect of this action has been to reduce the entire area withdrawn
in the public-land States from somewhat less than 67,900,000 acres at the be
ginning of the month to a little less than 66,270,000 acres at the end of the
month. This area withdrawn is to 1 compared with approximately 88.
000,000 acres that have thus far been classified under the teveral mineral-land
laws.
During the month of December somewhat less than 2,000,000 acres
were classified as nonirrigable land and by order of the Secretary were opened
to entry under the enlarged-homestead act. This makes a total of about
-'07,375,000 acres of land that have been classified as nonirrigable since the
passage of the act.
The total area of lands which have been classified in Western States up
to the end of December aggregates nearly 295,700,000 acres.

VER FOUR HUNDRED and eighty thousand square yard of dif
ferent types of roads for experimental and object lesson purposes
were constructed during the fiscal year 19I2-I9I3 under the super
vision of the Office of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture, ac
cording to Bulletin 53 of the Department, making a total of over four
million square yards of road constructed under the supervision of this office
since 1905.
The types of roads built were brick, concrete, oil-cement, concrete, bitu
minous concrete, bituminous-surfaced concrete, bituminous macadam, surface
treatment, macadam, asphalt-slag, oil-asphalt-gravel, oil gravel, oil-coralline,
gravel-macadam, grsvel, slag, sand-clay, sand-gumbo, burnt-clay, shell, and
earth. The object lesson and experimental work during the past year wa?
done at a cost to the local communities of $139,841.89. This does not in
clude the salaries and expenses of the Department engineers.
The road work during the year was done in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Daksta,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.

discovers himself stuck in the mud in some of those beautiful avenues of the
county by the fluent remark of the Journal about the "irresonsible and uni
formed hobo" who exposed the cunditons as he found them.
The United States once had a president who consigned all of his enemies
to the Ananias club but that practice has become more or less hackneyed in
thii day and age and people have become more accustomed to face the facts as
tactics of the trust and they have, largely, aided the struggling competitor to
get on his feet and to fight the trust with his own weapons in the business
field.
The same thing is true in the case of creameries. Throughout the
Northwest, there is a creamery trust that has endeavored to bottle up all of

journal ami the people ot aalem evidently did not like because he told tne
truth in a way that struck straight from the shoulder. He did if because
he has an excellent subject upon which to write and one that would stand
the spotlight of investigation a great deal more strongly than even he gave it
There are some interesting questions in connection wth the way that the
road money of the state is spent. Every year, the various counties appropriate
several hundreds of thousands of dollars for roads and not one cent of thnt
money ever seems to make its permanent mnrk on a public highway. This
is fact that any one who travels through the state can readily recognize the
minute that he attempts to cross the streams of mud with which our roads
nre filled.
Uur irienil, the Journal, will gain little by its peevishness. It acts very
much like a spanked child and goes over into its corner to pout because it has
been punished. Much better would it tie for that paper to throw open the
that trust. The fact that many of them have failed is not due to the lack
of support but rather to the lack of business acumen and business enterprise,
in a large number of cases.
The trust is driving the people to the co-operative concern and the
success of the Molalla Telephone Company is an evidence of the progress
of events.
INISTERIAL PROGRESSIVENKSS is again illustrated by the
recent meeting of a large number of them in Washington where the
rural conditions of the western states were carefully explained to
thepi and where they had an opportunity to observe some of the things in
which the residents of the country districts are interested.
The fact that the ministers of the western states represented at that con
throttle and drive'straight ahead with the movement for a bond issue in that ference were i"ested Kh ' subject to get down to actual conditions
county for better roads.
I he minute that a man argues against good roads, he shows that he is an
ignoramus or a moss back. The minute that he tries to defend the condition
of the roads of either this or most of the other counties of the state he exposes
his lack of knowledge of the facts about which he speaks. Any 10-year-old-
boy can travel over the highways of this state and show some of these old line
and to study things as they really arc in this section of the country is indica
tive of the great change that has taken place in recent years in the attitude
of the orators of the pulpit toward basic facts.
The general trend of the times is toward practical things. In every
realm of activity, the leaders are emphasizing the fundmental features of
uork. It is true in business as in the professional fields but it is Decomin'i
standpatters just how little they actually know about the conditions in the mc,re "''"tfy ' latter because of the previous tendency toward the-
"ountry and just where the work is not done for which the county raises an
annual contribution that would make even a Rockefeller interested.
Ricker's expose of the roads has hurt the valley. The people of the east

oretic studies and opinions. Life, nowadays, is more practical than it has been
for the past 20 years. The vital things are the ones that count. The man
w ho can now get down to the basic principles of things and grasp the funda
mental facts of the problem in hand is the man who succeeds in whatever ca
reer he may outline for himself. mv
This applies to the ministry as well as to other professions. It applies
more forcibly to that profession because the ministers have shown a tendency
in the past to ignore these vital things and to adhere more strenuously to th;
theoretical features of life. They have believed that a boy ought to go to
church because he knows that it is his duty to do so and because he loves the
church for-frself alone. The time has come when the ministers have realized
that there are m.my1)oys who care little for the church and less for those con
nected w ith it.
Something must be done to instill into that boy the proper attitude to
ward the church. The minister vr ho gets down to the basic facts in the mat
ter knows what that boy loves above everything else and, through that love,
works on him to gain his interest in the activities of the church. In this way,
ihurcli baseball leagues are started. The minister takes off his long black
coat and gets in to coach the team. He yells with the boys and joins in the
jeers w hen the boy in the field make some "bonehead" play. In this way,
he vies with the boy at his own sport, he gains his admiration, and he finally
gets him interested in those things in w hich the minister is interested.
The actual study of rural life and the conditions which surround it is
one of the steps that progressive ministers the country over are now taking
to look at things as they are, not as they ought to be. The summary of the
rvrnts of this conference by Rev. George Nelson Ewards in last Sunday's
Enterprise shows the extent to which the ministers propose to go in such
efforts to get at real conditions 1n the church.
