Say La Follette Flying Under False Colors -BIBLE STUDENTS AND "KEEP OFF PROHIBITION THE GRASS" The International Bible Students' Association, e religious sect, held a convention in Columbus, Ohio, last week. A fellow by the name of Ruth erford, from California, is the head of the organization. In an address to the convention he delivered him self of a tirade gaint the prohibi tion law, which of course put him on th front page of many of the news papers of the country. His argument was the regular stock argument of the wets, prefaced with the uual statement that "I abhor liquor, etc., but prohibition has in creased the u?e of liquor." He aieo emphasized the time-worn argument of the average booze advo cate, to-wit: "As Foon as you pro hibit something hundreds of people who would net have thought of it be fore begin to do it. The way to ac complish good is through an appeal to reapon. We have no rules of any hind but our people have decided for themselves what they can do for the Koror and glory of God and, have wbv,doned the things that are of the devil.' Dots this man Rutherford who at taches the prefix 'judge" to his name, drive tin ajtomobiie; and if so does he carry out bin theory and whenever he seen a sign, "Speed limit 35 miles' does he step on the gas and speed up to fifty, d!e he make left turns where he it directed to make right turnc, and does he run around street car. jufI because he is enjoined not to do to? Is this the answer? On the day fo. lowing his outburst against prohi bition the papers announced that hi: followers. I he Bible .Students, were kicking over the "Keep off the graas" aigni and tramping down the grass on the State Fair grounds where the cuiivetnion was in sion. Thus it appeam that Rutherford's followers, at least are putting into practice hie theory that foiks will do the very thing that they are enjoined not to do, "and do it juwt because they are told not to do it," The Fair Ground management iimMs upon observance f the "Keep off the grass" rule and Judge Rutherford announced that they would quit Columbus and the Fair grounds and hie to Cedar Point before thy would obey the law, All of winch goes to show that Ruther ford at leant is consistent and that ht followers prove bis theory that legal rvtitricUoni make criminals, American Issue. Friends of Roosevelt Object to Third Party Candidate Tsing Word ' "Progressive for Party. Friends of Theodore Roosevelt re sent the use of the term 'progressive by La Follette. They see a marked difference between a "progressive and a socialist and soviet sympathiz er. They recall that La Follette was a foe to Roosevelt when he advocated progressive principles. They do not forget that La Follette was hostile to the Progressive party headed by Roos evelt in 1912. E. A. Van Valkenburg, editor of the Philadelphia North American, waa an ardent Roosevelt supporter. He was Roosevelt s friend as President and supported Roosevelt as the candidate of the Progressive party. In a cur rent editorial in his newspaper, this friend of Roosevelt expresses his con tempt for La Follette and his use of the "progressive" label. After de scribing La Follette as anti-Roosevelt the North American makes this edi torial comment: "This is the man (La Follette") who, with self-dictated candidacy and plat form, now has the effrontery to ap propriate the title of progressive, the hope that this transparent device will attract the support of progress ive voters. Never was a more bare faced fraud attempted in politics. "The Progressive party stood first of all for Americanism, for the per petuation of American democratic in stitutions. It was in no sense social istic. Roosevelt, the embodiement of the movement, was recognized by the socialists as the most dangerous foe of their doctrines in this country; he I was against class rule by wage-workers as he was against domination by capitalists. "La Follette's candidacy is indorsed by the socialist party, socialists are his most aggressive campaigners, and they declare that he 'has been a so cialist for 20 years His platform is in great part a socialist document. He is an outspoken defender of Russian sovietism, the very anthithesis of pro gresaivisro. La Follette's use of the title of progressive for his movement is indefensible assumption, a calcu lated effort to profit by a fraud upon the public, which he would not have the hardihood to attempt if the cham pion of progressivism were alive. Nothing in La Follette s envenomed hostility to Theodore Roosevelt, liv ing, was so false and ao vicious as this desecration of his memory and of the great cause he personified. lty. The ticket omce is the imme-. diate but not the only barometer of this favorable or unfavorable reac tion. From the standpoint of immediate profits a code of ethics might often become an inconvenient limitation on en exhibitor's freedom of action The motion picture people should be commended for their foresight and the attitude which was the cause of their foresight.

Any producer of (rrain and coop erative marketing association, aueh at Farmers Co-ope rativ Elevators. Pools, etc., may become members. 6. Each year the membership shall elect three members to the Board of Directors of fifteen, each director elected serving for a period of five years. Directors to draw $10 per diem and expenses for attendance at meetings. . There is to be sold to producers and or their co-operative marketing associations, 1,000,000 shares of com mon stock par value $1 per share (more commonly known as member ships, and in addition there is to be placed among the producers and their co-operative marketing units, such as farmers elevators, marketing associa tions, etc., 1,000,000 shares of Class A preferred stock par value $25 per share, bearing 8 per cent interest, as per the cooperative marketing law. Both Class A preferred and common stock are limited to 8 per cent divi dends. Then 2 per cent may be set aside as a reserve, and the balance of the earnings above operating cost will be pro rated to the producers and producer organizations in ac cordance with the amount of gram the member sells through the Grain Marketing Company. j 7. In order that . the Marketing Company might function immediately with physical facilities and manager ial ability, the Board of Directors have contracted to acquire the facil ities of the Armour Grain Co., the Rosenbaum Grain Corporation and Rosenbaum Brothers by interim con tract on the following basis: The properties are to be leased to the Marketing Company for one year beginning July 28, 1924, on a rental basis of 8 per cent to be paid out of the earnings of the company, the to tal amount to be in accordance with the value agreed to by the appraisal board, the lessors to pay taxes on the property during the leased period. The Marketing Company by con tract agrees to appraise the proper ties under contract by competent ap praisal service within 120 days and fix a fair market value of the prop-1 erties as going concerns engaged in the business of marketing grain, tak ing into consideration the reproduc tion cost of such properties as ara required for the present or prospect ive business of the company, less de preciation and with the privilege of eliminating obsolete or useless prop erties. 9. The vendors agree to accept for their properties Class B preferred stock par value $50 per share in amount equal to the appraisal value of their property. 30. In addition, the vendors pro vide $4,000,000 paid in working cap ital to the Grain Marketing Co. by purchase of Class B preferred stock. 11. The Grain Marketing Co. agrees to liquidate the four million working capital the first year, and the balance as fast as it can conveniently do so. The Class B preferred stock ac cepted by the vendors is trusteed with the Continental and Commercial Trust Co. of Chicago, and will by agreement be subject to redemption as fast as Class A preferred can be sold and paid for by the producer. IS. By contract eight of the prin cipals of the vendors' companie -i who are experienced grain merchants will be retained for five years to manage and operate the buying, selling and handling of the grain. 14. The producers have full con trol of the company's policies and will operate the company in full ac cordance with the Illinois Co-operative Marketing Act of 1923 and the Capper-Volstead Act. 15. The company is now receiving grain and operating in its regular way, and any one may use ita ser vices. Memberships are now coming in. 16. This company will depend for its business on its ability to ren der to the pool, farmers co-operative elevator, grain association, or the in dividual grain producer better ad vantages than they now have and at a price that is as high as that of any competitor. It will simply act as the farmer-owned and controlled selling agency for all. As to the officers of the Grain Mar keting Co., little introduction need be made to the farm bureau folks. Every farm bureau member in the United States knows Gray Silver. All farm bureau folks know that Mr. Silver operates a farm in West Vir ginia, another in Illinois, and still another in Arkansas. But most of all. farm bureau folks know Gray Silver as the man who has handled for the farm bureau the legislation, which to a large degree, makes co-operative marketing possible. It was under the direction of Mr. Silver, as legislative director of the American Farm Bu reau Federation, that there was pass ed in Congress the Capper-Volstead Act, which legalised co-operative mar keting, the Federal Warehouse Act, the Intermediate Credit Act, and other supporting legislation, John W. Coverdale, secretary-treasurer of the Grain Marketing Co., has served as secretary of the American Farm Bureau Federation since its or ganisation. Working as secretary, he was particularly active in the devel opment of the farm bureau co-operative program, which resulted in the establishment of the Federated Fruit and Vegetable Growers, Inc., and the National Live Stock Producers Asso ciation. He has devoted tremendous energies during the last three months in the development of this new co-op erative. Millard R. Myers, chairman of the Board of Directors, has for many years been closely identified with the co-operative elevator movement.

Motion picture exhibitors of Ore gon have signed a code of business ethics. The code expresses their ac tive realization of their obligations to the communities in which they are operating. The movement originated in Portland. Credit for conceiving this form of agreement as to policy belongs largely to C. S. Jensen of Portland, the head of the Jensen and von Herberg theatres in the northwest. The simple agreement of the va rious exhibitors, who are in the first instance responsible to the public for the morale but not for the morals of the motion picture industry, is not as important as the willingness of these business men to go publicly on record as to their conception of the relation of their business to the pub lic's confidence. Three points in the code are wor thy of special mention. They arer "To recognize my duty as a moulder of public opinion and an educator of minds, by refusing to show upon my screen any picture that might have an unpatriotic, unwholesome or immoral effect upon the life or mind of any audience. "To give full cooperation with city, state and national governments and to all movements that will tend to raise the standard of morality and society and the ideals of the human , race. To honestly advertise all attrac tions with no effort to over-phrase or misrepresent them for the sake of monetary gain. This code was signed by the prin cipal exhibitors in the cities of Ore gon outside of Portland as well as by the members of the league which, up to this time, had been confined to Portland. The code indicates in no uncertain terms that the motion pic ture people realize that it pays in the long run to respect the public's wishes, particularly that portion of the public to which it is not neces sary to pander with pictures of doubt ful mural quality. That cross-section of the public just referred to is tlit same cross-section which quickly determines the public's reaction to tb picture business in each commun- isions Bhall be owned and controlled solely by fanner-producers. We have scrupulously observed the provisions of the law, both in organization, the character of by-laws we have adopted and in the measures we have taken to acquire the facilities of the com panies which have been taken over. "The Grain Marketing Company starts with the essentials absolutely necessary in every sound business enterprise. We have $4,000,000 op erating capital; we have, under con tract, retained for expert manage ment and as employes of the Com pany the directing heads of the firms taken over; we have obtained control of facilities which are modern, up-to-date and strategically located, and which are essential to the conduct of the busniess, and we have arranged for ample lines of credit. The cap- tal and credit guarantee financial stability and ability to carry through any operations we undertake." A letter was written today by J. w. Coverdale, as secretary of the Amer ican Farm Bureau Federation, to County Agent. In this letter Mr. Coverdale answers a series of six teen questions concerning the Grain Markting Company. Mr. Coverdale's answers to the sixteen questions are here given in full, since the questions asked by this County Agent probably cover the questions in the minds of farm bureau folks all over the coun try concerning this project: 1. The name of the company is "Grain Marketing Co." 2. It's sole purpose is the market ing of the grain products of its mem bers, including purchasing, grading, handling, processing, selling and shipping grain of all kinds, and doing the things necessary or convenient in handling the grain for its mem bers, 3.
