ORE., MARCH 29.... ..1907 THE CO-OPERATIVE STORE. The West Coast Trade gives a few sound pointers on the co-operative mercantile and credit business iu the current issue. It Bays: While those farmers of Easterr Wash ington who are investing in co-operative stores as a rebnke to the mer chants of that section who are moving for the settlement of aooonnts every niuety days, may imagine they are pursuing a wise course, they stand good to bny a very dear experien ce, and to pay for it in advance very largely. A little common sense reasoning ought to prove convincing that they have no cause for complaint at the termination of a polioy of squaring np their year's purchases Mafter harvest," with an even break that when after harvest arrives they will desire the local mer chant to carry them awhile longer in order that they may speculate on their crop. A little more cogitation should suggest that in engaging in merchan dising with the avowed intention of collecting only when patrons get ready to care for their aoconnts is a very hazardous undertaking. The co-operative store, under the most favorable conditions, has proveu a doubtful ven ture in this oountry. The record of embarrassments in this state will show that the mortality rate is about 60 per cent greater, as oompared with toe number of establishments, than where business is oondnoted nnder the direot management of the individual mer chant or owners of the bnsiness. and the launching of a mercantile enter prise to cater especially to a system which experience has proveu to be against good bnsiness judgment is add ing to the risk incurred. The farmers .complain - that frequent 'settlements entail a hardship, bnt how about business in which they are engaging? They will discover that they cannot procrastinate iu paying for the goods which they purohase from the jobber, exoept at an added cost which is markedly greater than the charge which their looal merchants impose if notes are required for tills running more than ninoty days. Possibly a little business experience may add to their enlightenment as to how expensive an indefinite credit system really is, and while acquiring that knowledge they might reflect that they are really paying in' advance for the supplies which they will consume for a consid erable period in advance of the time when they are required. Aftermath interest in the aooom plishments of the late legislative as sembly seems to center with the Salem Journal and the Pendleton Tribune. Brother Geer is for and Col. Hof er is "forninst," with now and then a country journalist "butting in" as a sort of curtain riser. Bofer is in the game for sake of notoriety, so it ap pears, for he has said nothing but what has been said after every session of Oregon law makers since the state outgrew her territorial toggery. The Pendleton statesman-editor seems to have the hip on the Salem brother. inasmuoh as he has the leverage of having "been thar hisse'f" a time or two, and the aptitude with which he hews to the line, leads one to conjec ture that he is salting down the chips for future reference. Land values in the Milton-Free-water district are commencing to boom because of the building of the eleotrio railway line.
