FORUM 0FTHE PEOPLE
ONE VIEW OF IT
OREGON CITY, Ore., April 25
(To the Editor) Lately we have wit
nessed several unprovoked, cowardly,
brutal assaults upon a number of our
prominent citizens by a local news
paper, wherein the aforesaid persons
were held-up to didicule, scorn and
contempt, and a number of other peo
ple, friends of the bilious editor, were
extolled for their many good qualities.
It is not our purpose to say who is
right, and who is deserving of re
buke, but it ought to be that a de
cent minded, honest, conseienoua
man, a taxpayer and a factor in the
community, be protected from vicious
assaults of men suffering with cancer
of the intestines, or catarrh of the
brain. One's good name is the most
valuable asset he can have a posses
sion more worthy than anything else
na can possess. Yet we are greeted
to a spectacle of men's good names
dragged down to the dust and ruth
less. y trampled upon by whom?
Is it right and fair tiiat one should
set himself above his fellows and say
"I am holier than thou?" Is it fair
that men deserving of respect should
be abused like felons? Can any good
purpose be thus served? Will so
ciety or government be benefitted by
these tactics employed by a man who
is a "knocker;" one that attempts to
destroy in his feeble might without
trying to build up.
A number of our prominent citizens
are. to be congratulated on their
broad Handedness charity and good
will toward people of the type we
have just described, or these- char
acter wreckers these vampires in hu
man form that prey upon those of
their kind would be serving terms in
the penitentiary or answering as de
fendants in civil actions for liabel.
The best way to treat these friends
is to let them rave. It has always
been thus. How great a blessing is a
good health, and those that are sick,
or weary are to be pitied.
A. J. HASKINS.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
DAMASCUS, Or., April 25. (Ed
itor of the Enterprise) We have an
other case in our circuit court that
wou'd not be there if we had had a
Blue Sky law. Last year in this state.
The Co-operative Supply House of
Portland was incorporated in Salem
on the 29th of April, 1912, with a cap
ital stock of $3,000,000.00-one half of
which was subscribed by three or four
"bunco artists." They were incor-
ated for the sole purpose of fleecing
the farmers of this state out of their
cash, and they succeeded in selling
in neighborhood of 17,000 shares at
$10.00 per share, 12.000 of which- was
sold for cash and the balence were
sold for notes and some farmers
even gave mortgages on their homes
for shares in the company. The con
cern worked a good deal on the same
plan as the Columbia Orchards com
pany, which went bankrupt and left
so many farmers in the lurch. They
sold their stock to farmers principal
ly at a par value of J10.00 per share,
and represented that on the 1st day
of December the shares wotUd be
worth $12.50 and they would advance
to $15.00 on the first of January, 1913.
They also represented they could and
would pay dividends on their stock by
the first of May, 1913, amounting to
1214 or 15 per cent, as they said
about Nov. 1, that their sales amount
ed to over $1,000 per day.
The agents of the Co-operative Sup
ply House represented to the farmers
that they owned the large 4-story con
crete warehouse at E. 1st and Madi
son streets which they occupied, and
that they also owned all of the goods,
wares, merchandise and machinery
contained in the building, and that
they owned the land on which the
building stood, as well as the vacant
lots adjoining.
On Feb. 20, 1913. the Co-operative
Supply House was declared insolvent
and R. S. Sabin, secretary of ' the
Merchants Protective association, was
appointed as receiver. On March 8th
a meeting of the stockholders was
called, and a great many "suckers"
attended only to learn that they had
been "bunked"; some of them to the
tune of $5,000.00. The so-called
"suckers" appointed a committee of
three to investigate the books of the
company and they learned that the
Co-operative never owned more than
one-half of the stock of goods on
hand, and had only one year's lease
on the building and real estate. There
was about 14 carloads of canned goods
un'abeled in the building, which be
longed to several of the leading
wholesalers and packers and "loaned"
to the Co-operative for the purpose
of inducing farmers to "bite."
Getol," ,anGse$pyebg,' wle' R.,- P
H. F. and F. E. Millien of Dam
ascus, Oreg., who run a small mer
chandise . store at that place were in
duced by one G. F. Emery, one of the
agents of the Co-operative Supply
House to turn over their stock of
goods to the company and they re
ceived in return 276 shares of the
capital stock of said company, but
they never gave possesion of said
stock as the company agreed to sell
75 shares and turn the money over to
Mellien in order that they could pay
up their creditors, and e'ear the title
to the goods, but the company, or its
agents failed to sell the shares. R.
S. Sabin has now taken posession of
the goods as well as the building to
which he has no right, by writ of rep
levin, aDd the case will be threshed
out in Judge Campbell's circuit court
on Friday, May 2K 1913.
The promoters of the company
were one named Moselle, president.;
H. Irby Knox, vice-president, and one :
named Allen, secretary "and treasurer.
These three men skipped the country j
and left no traces, leaving in their I
places G. J. Hodder, president and P.
J. Dorsche, secretary and treasurer.
