Scenes Following Terrific Storm in Ohio

hundreds injured. The storm swept the whole Lake Erie front, kill
ing hundreds and injuring more than a thousand.
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

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.

diate but not the only barometer of
this favorable or unfavorable reac

cordance with the amount of gram

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. He
is editor of the American Co-opera

MOVIE BUSINESS MORALS.
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. In accordance with the Mraket
