Better Marketing
The farmers of the country are very bitter, says a
writer in the Country Gentleman, about the break in the
price of wheat. "Fully half of their year's efforts has
vanished. They have done their part in the face of al
most insuperable difficulties, and now that their crops
are ready for market some force or forces over which
they have no control clip off three billions of dollars
from their revenue.
"Not knowing exactly whom to blame, the (farm
ers have blamed everybody in any way connected with
the transportation and marketing of their products.
They blame the railroads, the grain and produce ex
changes, the millers, the grain brokers and the Govern
ment, but chiefly they blame the exchanges. 1
"There is a deep-seated prejudice against these mark-
et centers. The average farmer believes they perform !
no useful service for agriculture and that their principal i
function is to provide a place where gambling in food- j
stuffs may be carried on safely and profitably by those.
on the inside."
The farmers are not alone in blaming the market-
ing forces of the country for the present situation, nor f
are they alone in the prejudice against the exchanges, j
Nor is wheat the only commodity on which farmers
and city people, too are losing money. Says an editor- j
ial in the same magazine: t j
Last year the farmers lost heavily on all livestock, -
actually lost millions of dollars. Some good farmers
lost nearly all they possessed. Yet in spite of the fact
that meat prices were abnormally low at the point of
production, the great consuming public never paid more
for their steaks and chops. Who was to blame We
make no accusations. We merely point out the facts.
What was the effect on the farmers? They said to
themselves that our present marketing system is rotten;
the day would come when they would smash it."
It is quite evident that the farmers did not profit in
this last year. Neither did the buyers. Somebody must
have profited. Every consumer must needs recognize
that "the marketing system is rotten," and ought to be
radically bettered.
German-made locomotives are now reported to be
underselling til rivals. This seems to bear out the com
ment of a for-ign merchant, applying to any article of
trade before the war: "America invents it, Britain
makes it good, Germany makes it cheap." When
America adds to her inventive genius enough patience
and perseverance and hard work, maybe she'll do all
three.
The principal problem of the unemployed is dodg
ing the things their wives can find for them to do around
the house.
Any good shopper can pick up a lot of good resolu-
tions this time of year which are only slightly shop
worn, and have never been used. I

MAYOR HOLMAN
REVIEWS WORK
OF PAST YEAR
In reviewing the work of the past
year, Mayor Holman, In an Interview
with an Enterprise reporter, speaks of
his retirement from office the first of
the year, and tells of the work of the
city council for the benefit of Oregon
City.
"We have tried to keep within the
budget during the past administration
and at the same time get the best re
sults for the money expended," says
the nwyor. "While we have been crit
icized for many things, and some of
the legislation has not met the ap
proval of all, the .administration
leaves the city's affairs in pretty good
shape for the Incoming councilmen
and mayor.
"We saw the necessity for putting
on another night policeman, and in
cluded this item in the budget for
1921. I understand that this meets
with the approval of the business In
terests of the city.
"We pruned the budget to the last
item, but did not eliminate the neces
sary expenditures for the welfare of
the community. The mayoralty is a
thankless job at best, and while the
retiring councilmen and myself have
striven for the best Interests of the
municipality, I, for one, am glad to be
relieved of the office, but will assist
the new mayor in any way that 1
can," said Mr. Holman.

The Last Was Death
'Pet Jones" won many a face. He
came la sometimes first, sometimes
last, but he always was trying; be
ever put forth his best efforts. As
the rest of the bunch eame up to the
wire ready to go, "Pet Jones" was
there with "belle on" and brought
forth many a cheer from the multil
tude in the grand stand. Hut now,
alas, a sorry ending for the poor old
race horse he was taken to the Mll-
waukle Rendering company's plant
yesterday afternoon to be shot "And
what for," may you ask? For not
having any teeth. He was so old,
and with no teeth in his head, he
caused too much bother for us
humans to take care of him. Of
course, the horse ought to be shot
he couldn't live much longer and It
was better to put blm out of bis
misery than let him live. But after
all, It seems a pity, don't it?
"Pet Jones" was owned by J. E.

age of 30 years.
ESTACADA JOINS
COUNTY DIVISION
PLAN AT MEETING
It is reported that Eastern Clack
amas county is in faro rot annexa
tion to Multnomah county with the
districts of Oak Grove and Milwau
kie sections.. At a meeting which
took place at Oak Grove Wednesday
evening, which was called to discuss
"good roads" roads were forgotten
in the discussion which took place
over annexation and the split of
Clackamas county.
A large delegation from Estacada
was present at the gathering, and
a tentative organization was formed
for the purpose of furthering the
movement to break from the present
boundaries of the county. W. F.
Cary, of Estacada, was elected pres
ident and D. A. Lofgren, of Oak
Grove, was voted secretary of the
new order, and the officials elected
will send out notices all over Clack
amas in favor of the "new Idea."
It is rumored that several meet
ings will be held during the coming
weeks In different sections to help
out on the program, and a line of
division as suggested at the gather
ing was adopted os follows:
Estacada, Boring, Sandy, Milwao
kie, Jennings Lodge, Oak Grove,
Clackamas and Oswego and Lake
Grove will be included in Multriomah
county. The line to be established
between the present Clackamas and
Multnomah counties will be as out
lined, between Rhinerason and Jen
nings donation land fclaims, about
midway between, Hull Avenue and
Meldrum.
The present agitation is over the
distribution of the $1,700,000 road
bonds recently declared valid by the
supreme court, and which was voted
in this county some time ago. Mil
waukee and Oak Grove districts a:
lege that they have been slighted in
the program, and propose to split the
county in two, either as revenge or
other considerations.
What bearing this will have on the
axes to be paid by taxpayers if the
proposed "proposition" is carried, re
mains to be seen in the future.
WEST LINN MAN
WANTS RECOUNT
OF VOTES CAST
Kennedy McLarty has entered suit
In the circuit court here to restrain
the chief-of-police of the city of West
Linn from enforcing what Is known
as the "Stock Running at Large"
measure, which was voted at the
last election in that city. McLarty
also alleges that the count on the
measure was not properly tabulated,
and that several votes against the
measure were not counted, which
would have turned the tide against
the decision. In his complaint, filed
yesterday afternoon, McLarty fesks
the court to have the ballot box re
opened and the votes recounted to
determine the verdict of the voters,
and accuses the judges of the elec
tion favoring the. law by not count
ing votes against the ordinance.
MclArty owns, a cow in West Linn,
and has staked the animal out in the
city limits during the past, and as
the new measure favoring the re
striction of animals staked out in the
city limits during the day time, car
ried, and which law will take effect
on January 1st, McLarty asks the
court to hold a recount on the meas
ure and declare it void.
Livy Stipp and L. L. Porter are
the attorneys for McLary, and it is
rumored that the case will involve
quite a procedure, as the county
clerk in declaring the vote carried,
will have to either reverse his do
cislon In the matter, or McLarty's
cow will be arrested, and the owner,
compelled to pay the penalty of vio
lating the law of that city. .
This is the second contest of the
recent election held at West Linn
and although the municipality has
not (ruri smoothly during the past
three weeks, the above case promis
es to attract many from that idstrict

A
LEADER ASSURED
ANOTHER YEAR
A record attendance marked the
annual taxpayer's budget meeting
Tuesday in the circuit court at the
court house, when delegates from
every section of the county packed
the meeting and overflowed Into tho
corridors. Economy seemed to be
the watchword, and a number of
items were admitted only when It
was explained that they were manda
tory under the law.
The retention of the county agent
and the club leader, with appropri
ations of $2300 and $1900 respective
ly. were the big features of the ses
sion, with a strong argument on both
sides. The proposition to include
the sum of $2000 In the budget for
the support of a county nurse was
voted down after a hot debate, and
the proposal of the county court to
appropriate the sum of $10,000 to
purchase a site for a county poor
farm waa downed.
Another evidence of the taxpayer's
desire to cut down whereever pos
sible was shown in the vote on salar
lee of deputies In the office of the
county clerk, which resulted in not
allowing the increases asked for by
Fred A. Miller, county clerk. A mot
Ion to set aside $3000 for a county
fruit inspector was also lost. '
"Farm produce has been cut down
a half In price," said one prominent
speaker, and as al other things are
coming down this is not the time to
endorse large expenditures of money.
Our taxes now are higher than they
ever have been before and we must
economize." This attitude appeared
to be the key-note of the whole meet
ing, which was organized strongly In
favor of Including the county agent
and the county club leader in the bud
get, and as well organized against re
taining the services of a connty nurse.
An effort to do away with the ser
vices of the rural school supervisor,
at an expenditure of $1400 salary and
$600 traveling expense was lost by
the vote of 63 to 99, after consider
able discussion on both sides.
Sadie Orr Dunbar, secretary of the
Oregon Tuberclosls Society was pre
sent and made a strong plea for the
appropriation for the county nurse.
Mary A. Camjpbell, superintendent oi
the Open Air Sanitarium at Milwau
kle was another strong supporter ot
the movement, which was introduced
by Lou Adams. Other speakers in
cluded Elizabeth K. Matthews, of
Courtney, Mrs. W. C. Green, Mrs. Dr.
Norris, Dr. Hugh Mount, E. L. Pope,
and Russell Butler. Opposing the
plan were a number of farmers who
had to be frequently cautioned by
Judge Grant B. Dimlck, who presided
as chairman of the meeting, against
their boisterous talking and disre
gard of parlimentary procedure. A
final move to have the matter recon
sidered just before adjournment met
with such strong opposition that ad
journment waa taken without furth
er ado.
In 8 peaking for the retention of the
county agent's appropriation, Rich
ard G. Scott, present agent, was com
plimented very highly from a number
of sources for the valuable aid he
has given the agricultural and live
stock industries In the county, it was
undoubtedly understood by many
that Scott would retain the position,
and it was not until later that the an
nouncement of his resignation, to be
come effectiv the first of the year,
was made.
The final budget, as recognized by
the taxpayers will be prepared during
the week, said Judge Anderson Tues
day, as the levey will have to be made
by the first of the year. No indica
tion as to how closely the court will
follow the recommendations was
given, but it is thought that the thing
will be carried out approximately
along the lines laid down at the meet
ing. It was voted to have the court
provide a better meeting place for
the next session, as there were doz
ens of people -who had come long dis
tances to attend the meeting who
were unable to gain admittance.
