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.

216,552 Motor Vehicles is
Oregon 192o Registration
At the c!-so of the year 1925 there
were 216,6: 2 motor vehicles register
ed in Oregon, This is n increase of
23,923, or 12 per cent over tho 1924
registrations. 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. The aver
age for the United States,' according
to authoritative statistics, is one fl
tomobile for every 6 persons ,
The total amount of license fees
produced by the motor vehicle regis
tration law for 1925 was $6,370,193.03,
as compared to $4,766,463.90 for 1924,
run increase of $603,739.12 or 12.6 per
cent. 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. ' .
