COOPERATION CUTS OUT
DUPLICATION OF COST,
- EXPLAINS A MARKETER
(Special to The Journal.)
University of Oregon. Eugene, Or..
May 18. "Coopeiatlon'in production and
In distribution -of the products of the
soil is of international Interest." de
clared .T. O. Holt, who led the "discus
sion today at the second session of the
Uhiverslty Commonwealth program, de
votedU tQ the Interest of Jhe consumer
and the producer of rural products. Mr.
Holt Is manager "of the Lane county
Fruitgrowers' association,
v "Before our own cooperative associa
tion was organized some 60 berry grow
ers in tha vicinity of Eugene disposed
of their product to the grocery stores,
going from one to theiother, taking such
prices as were offered. These berries
are now brought to the central ware
house, where they are disposed of as
the market requires,' by one man. One
man does all the selling, at a saving of
75 to 100 hours'of ltcbor to the 60 or
more growers each day. The arrange'
-ment -has-been beftctalo-
man, giving mm a steady supply at an
established price.
'Statistics from the department of
agriculture show that 60 per cent of the
value of agricultural products is the
cost to distribute and sell them. By
effecting cooperation this duplication of
effort will be eliminated. Because a
certain system of manufacture and
salesmanship has been brought to such
a state of perfection as to.be profitable
to the promoters does not prove that the
system is economically correct or right
ror the country at large. . .
"Seventy-five per cent of the price wa
pay for a breakfast food is used in
tempting us to buy it.
The Xnral Credit Problem. .
'Ter.haps the most important Question
before agricultural people Just now is
thedevelopment of a workable system
of rural credits. The farmer's harvest
comes but once a year. Money which
costs the business man only about 2 per
cent for each transaction will cost the
farmer 8 per cent. Mighty forces are
at work trying to solve these problems
Our colleges are studying the subject,
the national government Is helping. This
movement marks an epoch In rural
progress."
At this point J. George Johnson, mas
ter of the Lane county Pomona grange,
continued the subject of rural credits.
f explaining the systems now successfully
operatea in Europe. "A credit associa
tion in roreign countries is under tbe
control or the state- government," he
said. "In . each country a committee of
three men is appointed as a committee
of Investigation. All applications for
roans are investigated by this commit
tee. The interest is 4i per cent. One.
per cent of this Is reloaned at compound
interest,' paying the loan-in less than 40
years. This system is the cause of the
increased production in these countries.
In our earlier days where one cow was
kept they how feed and care for three.
"One Island, half the size of Lane
county, produces (more export butter,
eggs and cured meat that , the whole
Willamette valley produces."
Cooperation Among Consumers-.
, "Wherever the principle of the Eng.
lish Rochdale system of cooperative
buying lias been followed in this coun
try it has been successful." declared &
Wesley Commerford, who Is now en
gaged, in organizing a cooperatlvajjetail
store in Eugene. lie traced the history
of the cooperative store in the United
States, beginning with Philadelphia in
1864. He showed that at the present
time Wisconsin and California , lead in
the activity of these cooperative activi
ties. He declared that President Taft
favored this system of selling when he
sent a message to congress calling ,at
tentlon to cooperation as a means of re
ducing the high cost of living.- The
movement, declared Mr. Commerford, is
advancing, lir every part of this country."

"The natives of America were nractlo

the White man they have steadily de
generated to their present low. standard,
which, we may say, is the result of
their contact with, our present day civ
ilisation. The. splendid race of people
found here by 'the earlier discoverers
should point the way for eugenlsts of
tha present time. .
,"In the, complete segregation ot the

Bie production, growing; each year Jias. made it
possible for the Willys-Overland company to in
crease their car value, and in consequence decrease
their retail selling price which accounts for and ex
plains their phenomenal progress. By sheer force
of huge production, which was their original con
ception of capturing the automobile markets of the
world, they were able to give each succeeding year
more actual car for less actual money than, any
one else in the business. This big, broad, manu
facturing policy resulted in their rapid and remark
able growth.
Take the present $985 car as a specific case.
This car upset the entire . industry. When an
nounced few believed such Ja, car at such a price
was possible but it was. Every day you see new
Overlands on the street We- are. , making . imme
diate deliveries.
. If you are in the market for a car-see this
Model 69 Overland If you will -compare it with
others you will be convinced, you will save consid
erable money. It is a self, starting, 30 horsepower,
five passenger touring car, magnificently finished,
modernly appointed, and completely equipped with
every necessary essential. No other maker can
give you its equal -for a cent less than $1200.
Whenever you find the greatest demand you
can depend on getting the greatest value: We
sell Overland cars for cash or terms.. Let us
show you the car today. . ,
