TO RE1AIN MS
B; L C. ftuwart
The re organisation committee selected
at the meeting of dairymen at the Cen
tral library December 17. when a final
vote to liquidate the affair of the Dairy
men' league was cast, met In the offices
( the atata dairy and food commlastoner
at Portland January IT. and after thor
oughly going over all facta and detalla
pertaining to the lee rue situation, adopt
ed definite recommendation.
Member of the committee aeemed to
feel that while It would be somewhat
difficult to Induce some dairymen to
again join aa association the belief was
generally expressed that all substantial
and desirable members of the old league
weuld readily support the local organi
sations which are being formed.
tBOB TAEIKO OTEB PLAXTS
The resolution adopted by the re-organ
isation states. In part. "We strongly
recommend that the dairymen In the dlf
ferent tones take over from the trustees
appointed to liquidate the affairs of the
Oregon Dairymen's league the plants
operated by the league.
In order for the dairymen In each par
ticular section of the state to protect
themselves against loss In the process of
liquidation as well aa to protect them
selves from ambitious bat not always
honest. speculative concerns It was
deemed that this waa the only course
pen for the dairymen to take.
By owning the plants, the dairymen
will alway have a market for their
highly perishable product milk. The
marketing of dairy products la different
from that of wheat, wool and most other
commodities, for It cannot b stored un
less IV la first manufactured.
Those are some of the reasons why the
Dairy league plants should be kept In
the hands of the dairymen. They are In
any event a protection for the dairymen.
Properly handled they are a source of
eitra revenue.
COOriBATITE LAW FATOBKD
Dealing with the forma of organisation,
the committee gave out the following:
-We recommend that they reorganise
locally under the Oregon cooperative
laws, using substantially the standard'
Ised "form of constitution and by laws.
prepared by this committee."
The committee here recognise the fact
that local organisations as units can be
made stronger and more effective than
any wider form at the preaent time.
In recommending the cooperative law
f the state as the one under which to
form the different local organizations,
the committee realises that the growers'
organisations are given many advant
ages and privileges under this law.
If they organise under the corporative
law of the state they will sooner or later
get Into difficulties from snti-trust lawa
and sooner or later a great deal of UU
gallon will be met with. Such litiga
tion would remit In benefits to no one
eicept enemies of cooperation and law
yers a ho might be retained to defend the
rases.
In recommending that a standardised
constitution and bylaws be adopted by
each local organisation, the committee
felt that at some future time the various
units might wish to work together under
federation. If the form of organisa
tion and the bylaws under which they
are working are uniform there will be
rx trouble or expense In accomplishing
this end, but If the associations adopt
widely varying plans of organisation an
entire re-organlsatlon of each unit would
ba necessary.
"We recommend that such local or
ganisations acquire from the trustees the
right to use the brands used by the
league, so aa to secure to all local organ
isations now formed, or to be formed,
the- legal right under the condition that
the product shall confirm to a proper
standard, to be legally fixed and de
fined." waa part of the resolution.
BBA5DS HATE TALUK
Mellowest" and other brands used by
the Dalrymen'a leagua are of consider
able Intrinsic value and form one of the
real easels left by the former dairymen's
organisation. The brands had gained
considerable popularity because of the
quality which they stood for. and It la
believed that If properly safe-guarded,
they will remai a valuable adjunct to
tha dairymen of, the state.
The last .recommendation of tha com
mittee) deala with tha fort! and league
supply and la aa follows:
"That we strongly recommend to Zone
On that they reorganise and deliver
their product directly to the consumer.
In making that recommendation the
committee did not try to work out
definite plan for Zone One to follow. It
being deemed advisable to leave this up
to the dslrymen themselves, whom,
was suggested, should meet In the near
futur to mutually work out a plan of
procedure.
Toe re ar serious difficulties to be
met In the reorganisation of this par
ticular sons, but not so serloua but what
with a little work on the part of each
Individual dairyman Interested, the en
tire problem may be solved, so that every
dairymen producing milk In this district
will be benefited.
It remains for the dairymen In each
s son to work out their own problems. It
la sincerely hoped that within the near
futur each eld sons of the Dairy league
will be a strong local association. It Is
tha only hop for the salvation of the
dairy Industry of tha state.
