FARM INDUSTRY
GUNS STRENGTH
Big Factor Shaping Legisla
tion in Washington State.
FARMER WELL INFORMED
Struggle of Agriculturists in North
Dakota Watched With Sympa
thetic Understanding.
Thfa Is the second of a series of four
articles by the Northwest Editor of the
Post-Intelllgencer giving the results of his
obtiervattons and inquiries made in the
farming .communities of the state of Wash
ington concerning the foundation for the
stories of unrest among the farmers and
the reasons for whatever discontent exists.
BY FRANK M. DALLAM JR.
Intelligent discussion of the things
that are stirring in the minds and
consciences of the farmers of the
state of Washington calls for a brief
reference to some general and spe
cial developments which help to
throw light on the progress of the
agricultural industry and the manner
in which men engaged in that Indus
try have learned the value and the
possibilities of organized effort.
The extension of group organiza
tion has been the outstanding devel
opment in the progress of business
and industry in recent years. Prac
tically every trade activity in this
country is organized, while super
imposed upon the primary organiza
tions are associations and federations
of those groups that have common
interests to promote or protect.
Farmers Slow to Organise
The agricultural industry has been
Tnuch slower in organizing than have
other industries and occupations. Life
on the farms, as a rule, is more Iso
lated, self-sustaining and independent
than life in urban centers where the
bulk of the business and manufac
turing activities of the country is
carried on. Particularly during the
pioneering stages in the development
of the agricultural areas of the coun
try did men learn to become more
self-sufficient, to fight their own bat
tles and to depend upon their Indi
vidual resources to subdue capricious
fortune. The spirit, the habits of
thought and of conduct this created
militated against the earlier efforts
to induce united action and effort
among farmers.
The growing strength of other
groups, however, with the constantly
greater control some of them were
gaining over the marketing processus
of the country, the always widening
spread between the returns to the
producer and the cost to the con
sumer, together with the object les
sons presented by the results of co
operative efforts among the agricul
turists of the old world, gradually
aroused the farmers of this country
to the necessity of joining forces tor
their common welfare.
Today nearly every farming com
munity In the country has its grange
or its union or its co-operative mat -keting
association or other organiza
tion, and these locals are joined to
gether by district or state federa
tions and thorough them into national
bodies, with a national board of farm
organizations having headquarters in
Washington, D. C, to promote the
legislative needs of the industry.
Farmer Influence Grown.
Thus the farmers have gained
strength comparable to that pos
sessed by other great groups In the
country and in the several states
they have been able to win recogni
tion of their desires and needs from
the state governments in proportion
to the extent of their organized
power. In this state the farmer In
fluence has been a growing factor
in legislative councils for a number
of years. It has given direction and
color to many enactments, particu
larly since the session of 1905, when
the original railway commission law
was passed, and it has even material
ly modified the state constitution, be
ing largely responsible for the adop
tion of the Initiative, referendum and
recall amendments to the organic law.
The inevitable result of this closer
association and of experience through
common action has been to widen the
farmer's perspective, to quicken his
interest in innumerable things be
yond the narrower horizon of his own
special and personal affairs, to bring
him into closer contact with the
world of business and its methods
and to awaken In him a sense of his
greater political influence. The con
ventional rustic of the vaudeville
stage and the so-called comic supple
ment Is the caricature of a past era
ho no longer exists in fact. The
average farmer of today is a well
informed business man who does a
deal of reading and thinking for him
self, not only about his own concerns
but about affairs in general.
Many 31oved by Sympathy.
Another result of the closer unity
with his fellows has been to give him
a greater understanding of the trials
and struggles of his industrial group
elsewhere than in his own neighbor
hood and sympathy for all efforts to
Improve the conditions and oppor
tunities of the agirculturist every
where.
In many cases those successful
farmers in this state who have joined
the Nonpartisan league have taken
that step as an expression of their
sympathy for the farmers of North
Dakota in their struggle against the
intolerable conditions of old. Many of
these will be satisfied to show this
pentiment, hut will not follow the
league on Its present course. There
are other who have been converted i
to the theories advocated and are
willing to experiment with state so
cialism. In addition there are sec
tions of this state heretofore referred
to where farming has been anything
but a profitable business, in spite of
the high prices, due to several suc
cessive years of drouth. It is in these
sections that the league has gained
its greatest number of adherents.
With these considerations in mind
and with a more candid acceptance
of the facts underlying the origin of
the Nonpartisan league in Nortn Da
kota and Its subsequent activities in
that state, It will be easier to com
prehend why it is that farmers who
have neither personal nor local rea
sons for serious discontent are found
ready to look upon the league with
something more than tolerance.
Reform Movement First.
The Nonpartisan league, whatever
it may be today, starred as a reform
movement in North Dakota. That con
ditions in that state were sadiy in
need of reform is common knowledge
and the surprise was that the farm
ers, who compose nearly S3 per cent
of the population of tna state, had
not sooner overthrgvn the party ma
chines by which they had long been
governed. Usurious interest rates
were charged there for years and ag
riculture was being forced into a de
plorable condition by credit charges
and Indefensible grain weighing and
grading practices that made profitable
farming all but impossible in the
great majority of cases.
The old parties fatuously denied
the relief that should have been given
and finally the smouldering wrath of
an outraged people flamed up into
revolt through the nonpartisan or
ganization. The methods adopted by
the leaders of the movement to gain
control of the state cannot be defend
ed as honest and if persisted in there
and elsewhere will in time come back
to damn all sincere believers in the
integrity of election laws. But for the
time these considerations were over
shadowed by the fact of victory and
concrete results in dollars and cents
to the farmers through the opportun
ity to sell their grains in emanci
pated markets.
Original Programme Brief.
The original programme of the
league was brief, dealing only with
those things that had most exasper
ated the farmers of North Dakota.
The following planks made up its
platform:
The exemption of farm implements
from taxation.
State-owned and operated elevators
and flour mills and packing plants.
State hail insurance.
Fair grain grades, based upon mill
ing and baking values.
Rural credits at cost.
A definite plan of state ownership
and operation of these activities, or
of co-operative direction under gov
ernmental protection, ws not pro
posed at first; but, like all such move
ments, especially when crowned with
an initial success, immediately there
was attracted to the league from all
parts of the country a host of oppor
tunists more bent on revolutionary
experiment than on effective specific
reforms, all eager to direct its course,
formulate its aims and profit by its
triumphs. The influence of these vol
unteeers was largely given to deci
sion in favor of socialistic ideas and
the league under their influence de
termined on a thoroughgoing system
of state ownership instead of a cor
porate or co-operative organization
working under state regulation.
Tactics; Cause Refections.
With this purpose in view, the
league leaders, not members of the
legislature, devised a secret caucus
to which the league legislators were
invited and where they were pledged
to the enactment of laws previously
framed.
The. programme of legislation thus
prepared and enacted into law in
cluded not only the subjects origin
ally advocated by the league and by
which it secured support, but a num
ber of new propositions designed to
build and maintain a powerfully con
structed political organization.
The tactics pursued by the leaders
in violation of the forms as well as
the spirit of representative govern
ment together with the unexpected
extension of the league's programme
and its socialistic character, doubt
less are responsible for the large de
fections that already are apparent in
the results of the last election in that
state.
It is safe to say, however, that the
farmers of North Dakota who have
deserted the league have no inten
tion of giving up the wholesome reg
ulatory laws that it secured and it is
probable that they will insist on con
tinuing in good faith to carry forth
the industrial programme so far in
stituted at least until its merits are
proved or disproved But the more
radical and socialistic proposals that
have been grafted onto the league
programme lead in a direction that
the great majority of American farm
ers, like a great majority of all Amer
icans, are not now and probably will
never be willing to go.

WIFE BEATER IS JAILED
E. Kelly Gets 90 Days; Woman
Suffers in Hospital.
E. Kelly of 233 East, Sixth street,
who was arrested Sunday night after
he had badly beaten his. wife, Beatrice
Kelly, who is now in the St. Vin
cent's hospital suffering1 from a
bruised face and a cut over the right
eye, was sentenced to 90 days in jail
by Municipal Judge Deich yesterday
morning.
Kelly, who grave his name as Earl
O. Gland in the police court, gave as
his excuse that he was drunk at the
time. He was asked if he had tried
to fight with the officers making
the arrest and claimed that he had
not, "No," said Judge Deich. "We
know you didn't. A man who beats
up his wife is not the kind who
takes chances with another man."
CULL FRUIT IN NO DEMAND
Volstead Act Provisions May Result
in Slump in Cider Making.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 9. (Spe

vinegar interests, which utilize cull
fruit of this district, is not notice
able to date. A year go many buy
ing representatives were already on
the ground and bidding for cull apples
brought the price up to $20 per ton.
Local concerns have made no pur
chases of cull stock and the market
remains indefinite.
The demand for cider apples - in
fluenced the keen trading last sea
son. The drastic provisions of the
Volstead act. it is declared may re
suit in a slump in the cider busi
ness, with a resulting small demand
for cult apples.

Though their freedom of movement,
within certain confines, is extremely
liberal, it occasionally happens that
"trusties" at Kelly Butte rockpile are
persons difficult to satisfy. They do
not ask complete liberty. They real
ize that some punishment is due
them for their misdeeds, and further,
they appreciate the fact that their
meals are good, and come to them
without financial worry on their part.
But it happens now'and then that
"trusties" long tor the bright lights
of the city. It is not a difficult feat
to accomplish because arrangements
for the retention of criminals at Kelly
Butte are not as effective as a the

away from the glances or nis com
panions, is not in getting away from
Kelly Butte. It is in getting back
again, undetected. He does not in
tend to stay away. This would mean
re-arrest as a fugitive and a longer
term, possibly solitary confinement
Sawing of bars or a tunnel under
the stockade is too easy to detect be
fore a return. The most successful
ruse, which has Just been worked once
too often, is related by Martin Pratt,
chief deputy under Sheriff Hurlburt.
Clever filing of a huge padlock on
the cell in which several trusties
were quartered resulted in tne iock
making a convincing click when the
guard closed it, but also in its being
amenable to a little force, externally
applied, in opening again. Night af
ter night some of these trusties have
stolen out to keep various trysts, un
detected, and stolen back in the cold
gray dawn, still unnoticed.
. But the sinecure is over now. One
of the" guards became suspicious, ex
amined the lock carefully, and a new
padlock with the quality of staying
locked, is in its place.

High Water Mark. Set for Month;
Grade Jersey Owned by Jj. A.
McCormack of Tillamook.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Aug. 9. (Special.)
A new high-water mark for Oregon
dairy production has been made by
"Pennie," a grade Jersey cow owned
by L. A. McCormack of Tillamook.
Reports of the tester for the month
of June show that Pennie produced
1896 pounds of milk, almost a ton,
with 115.66 pounds of butter-fat.
"This is the highest record ever
made by a cow in cow-testing asso
ciation work in Oregon," says E. D.
Fitts, in charge of cow-testing work
in Oregon.
The Tillamook association, in which
Pennie was tested, was organized in
1911, and each year since has shown
an increase in the milking qualities
of Its cows. The tester, D. A Wilson.
reports that 948 cows were tested in
June with an average yield of 39.97
pounds of fat practically 40 pounds
per cow.
The honor roll for the month
showed a large number of cows In
each of the four classes, as follows:
Class A, 5 years old or more, 86 cows
more than 55 pounds of fat; class B.
4 to 5 years, 26 cows more than 50
pounds of fat; class C, 3 to 4 years.
23 cows more than 45 pounds of fat;
and class D, 2 to 3 years, 32 cowe
more than 40 pounds of fat.
