THE FARMERS' IN ION.
Pendelton, Ore., June 20.
Editor East Oregonlan:
It is iny opinion that there should
be co-operation between a'U legiti
mate interests, that our railroads
and our farmers have common
grouuds for It.
A farmers' organization should be
a harmonizing influence rather than
disrupting, and we are certainly work
ing toward that end.
We recognize in merchandising,
manufacturing and transportation
Interests just as legitimate and ne
cessary as farming but feel that in
the prosperity of the latter there Is
a protection to nil that must be re
spected.
Hy economizing in marketing our
products we are following a principle
which is recognized as just In every
institution and if by organization we
can effect the saving to home circu
lation of even one cent per bushel
just that much Is added to all legiti
mate local interests.
liy thus economizing farmers will 35.756. 615 persons, of whom 17.265

Reports say prospects are good for a

The editorial writer on the Portland
Journal evidently had Pendleton In
mind when he wrote the following
under the caption, "Oregon Youth and
Oregon Colleges:"
Several young men from eastern
Oregon towns have lately returned
home from Seattle, where they have
been attending the University of
Washington during the past year.
This is the case every year and the
number of Oregon young people at
tending that institution and others
outside the state is quite large. Of
course, young people bent on secur
ing a higher education, or their par
ents, have the right to select what
ever Institution they plea&c, but it Is
regrettable that so many of themajro
out of the state for the purpose,
when Oregon is so well equipped
with excellent colleges, -fhere may
pr.Bsibly be some advantage for some
in attending a large eastern univer
sity, although this advantage is prob
ably largely imaginary, but it is dif
ficult to see why Oregon young men
should go over to .the University of
Washington, when this state has its i
state university, its agricultural col-1
legt, Willamette university. Pacific
university and several other good In
stitutions of higher education. These
colleges are certainly as good for all
practical purposes as the Washing
ton university Is, and it seems to be
a Fpecies of disloyalty to Oregon
for young people thus to turn their
hacks upon hT excellent educational
ii.stitutloiis. They are maintained at
great exp'-n are being constantly
Improved, an 1 are realy Dp to date
and worthy In every respect, and the
people of Oregon should take pride
Ir them, and support and encourage
them by their patronage and favor.
Young men ought to be proud to
ray that they had graduated from a
home state college, and to feel glad
to have been themselves factors in
1-s upbuilding and success.
The Journal hopes to see the Ore
gon colleges more loyally supported
by Oregon ycuth and their parents
hereafter, In this recpect. In this
rase as in others, the motto, "Pa
ttonize home industry" should be
odopted. Build up the Oregon col
leges and make them. If they are not
so already, the equal of any in the
country. Many Oregon youth will
enter college for the first time next
falL and some of them have per
haps not yet decided where they will
go. and we hope that this appeal
may decide any who are doubting In
fsvor of some Oregon college. Be
come an Oregon-made graduate, and
be proud of it.
It now develops that the farmers
had their scare for nothing and that
there will yet be a great harvest of
l.oth wheat and barley as well as a
monstrous crop of grain and alfalfi
hay.
business on a cash basis, which Is one
of their main objects.
As to the methods of accomplishing
this it is expected that we look at tViem
from our own viewpoint rather than
that of the men who are constantly
endeavoring to place profits Into the
hands of our great distributing ter
minals. I believe that the mischief done is
due to unscrupulous men who, by
their system of speculation and un
just price making, are working a
hardship upon all fair and high
minded men. and that merchants and
manufacturers as well as farmers arc
at their mercy.
It looks to me as though the present
financial unrest Is due to the hoggish
ness of our great American termin
als, that, as distributors of farm pro
ducts, have found such a fertile field
in farming the farmer, and to my
mind the question of allowing the
many millions yearly accumulating In
their hands, representing far more
profit than received by all farmers
combined, to continue to go with
them or with the farmer, Is a pedti
nent one.
The farmers therefore, are " the
great home protecting force that must
be organized. He is strong, for he
can live Independently without the
aid of others while others cannot live
three days without him.
Potentially the farmer Is the great
est power in the world. In reality,
until of late, he has had less Influ
ence over his own destiny than any
other class.
Among us are successful business
and professional men who have gone.
into farming because of the possibil
ity of better and surer profits; suc

the farm the consummation of their
Ideals of living and. greatest of all
there are successful farmers. who,

that no better profession can he at
