HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMESr HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 28, 1926. PAGE SIX JGR1EI13 TO OREGON FARMERS By GEORGE A PALMITER, Master Oregon Stt Grange. The benefit the farmer receives from the Grange depends largely on the fanner, and what interest he ha? in the Grange, If he is not a member, of course h,e does not have the oppor tunity of the social and educational intercourse that the members enjoy. But nevertheless he receives benefits, which he sometimes fails to recog niie were secured for him through the efforts of the Grange. For instance, when he gets his mail from the rural ' mail box each day, he does not real iie that the Grange fought his tattle in Congress for about thirty years to secure this service. He does not real ire that the Grange endorse! and worked for Postal Savings Banks, Par cel Post, Pure Food Laws, Federal Farm Loan System, Better Highways, Conservation of National Resources, Building of Panama Canal, Direct Electio of United States Senators hy the people, for Income Tax Laws, both Federal and State, to help relieve some burden of taxation now bearing; heavily upon the property owner. Few of our farmers know that the Grange has helped to secure these, and hun dreds of other benefits, which he now enjoys. The principles of the Grange1 are broad, and the work undertaken by it is beneficial to all the people, as well as the Grange members. The member of the Grange has an advantage over the non-member, in that he is per mitted to meet with his neighbors at regular stated meetings, and discuss the problems of his farm and those of his community, and ra return re ceive much valuable information and knowledge. The Grange is a real farmers' Fra ternity, arid the degree work, when properly exemplified, is as beautiful and impressive as that of any other order. This inculcates a spirit of fraternity which makes Grange mem bers realize that they are all one large family of brothers and sisters, and as such, that which is a benefit to one is a benefit to all. A great many of our successful cooperative enter prises had their beginning in some Grange meeting where brothers met, and after discussing the merits and demerits of the proposition, decided to start cooperative creameries, cheese factories, stock shipping associations, stores, warehouses and fruit ex changes. Few of these cooperative enterprises bear the name of the Grange, for outsiders as well as mem bers of the Grange were allowed to take part in them and receive the same benefits. , Some of these enterprises have not been successful because cooperation is not thoroughly understood. Coop eration means the banding together cf numbers of indjviduals for the mutual benefit of all, and not for the selfish gain of a few. Still we find members of nearly all cooperative enterprises who expect and insist on getting larg er returns than their fellow members. and when this cannot be done they knock the organization. This is sel fishness, and has caused the failure of many cooperatives. The Grange being & family organ zation which admits men and women on an equal basis, and also allows children to become members, has worked wonders in breaking up the isolation of the farm home and pro viding a place for the men, women and children to get together in social intercourse, from which all receive educational benefits. The Grange has always urged the beautification of the farm home, and the securing of every convenience possible to lighten the burdens of the farm housekeeper. The record of accomplishment by the Grange is long, but there is still work to be done, and no Grange has a right to existence if it does not take an active interest in business and legislative questions of State and Na tion, and strive to make its commun ity a better place in which to live. Any farmer who will take an hon est interest in the Grange will re ceive for his family and himself a three fold benefit social, education- 1 and financial.

Of the total number registered 199,517 were passenger cars and 17,035 wore trucks. Using the United States Bureau of Census ratio of population increase for the country as a basis of estimation, which -indi-ates a population of ap proximate 850,000 for Oregon for 1925, there is one automobile for ev ery 3.9 pisons in the state, or one for every average family.

Taking the relative-proportion al ratios of increase of the past five years as a basis of computation it Is conservatively estimated that the to tal registration of motor vehicles for the year 1926 will reach 236,000 and that the fees received for the cur rent year will amount to approximate ly $6,000,000.00.
