3. It provides in its economic de-
vice ot "Dividend on Purchase” and
immediate financial benefit, and an
access of independence to the Wage-
Earning Consumer.
4. It secures to the Agricultural
Producer, among other benefits, re
lief from exploitation in the pur
chase of the machinery and mater
ials of his industry, and also mar
kets for his produce which yield him
a reasonable return without exploi
ting the consumer.
5. It confers direct benefits upon
a very large section of the commu
nity irrespective of their social con-
dition.
6. It provides a solution of the
problems of employment, wages, and
general conditions of labour on the
highest plane of advantage to the
employees which economic condi-
tions permit.
New forms of government and
new orientations of economy are the
subjects of experiment in many
lands to such an extent that the so
cial order generally may be said to
be in a state of ferment. This fer
mentation has varying manifesta
tions, all of which, however, tend to
regard the development of our co
operative economic system with dis
favour, and, moreover, at the bidd
ing of organized capitalist enter
prise, to put stumbling blocks in the
way of its advance—in some cases,
definitely to plan the suppression of
free, voluntary and independent co-
operation.

a crew of boys from the CCC com
pany stationed at Stanfield. W. A.
Sawyer, assistant county agent sta
tioned here, is cooperating in every
way in the program and is urging
farmers to give permission for pois
on to be distributed on their farms.
Mr. Sawyer states that there is
absolutely no danger of poisoning
domestic animals on the farms since
the poison bate is planted under
ground in the gopher holes and the
gophers seldom die on top of the
ground.
This service is furnished free to
farmers through the cooperation of
the Stanfield Irrigation district and
the biological survey.
Kid Party Planned.
The Westland Grange Home Eco-
nomics club is sponsoring a "Kid”
party on the regular meeting night
Monday, April 20th, and prizes will
be given for the best costumes. This
will be the last party sponsored by
the club this spring, since spring
work will soon begin and the busy
season will commence.
Plan Community Party.
The members of the Irrigon
Grange will give a community party

them in 1929 were unable to con
sume or invest profitably? It is to
laugh! The mountain has surely la
bored and brought forth another
mouse. Henry Ford declares that
the solution Is in lower prices and
higher wages. Yes, in part, but the
whole tendency ot industry is to de
velop into monopolies for the pur
pose ot pushing prices up and wages
down and thereby increasing profits.
The key is primarily in dividing pro
fits among producers and consumers
_ and industry will never be willing
or wise enough to do that voluntari
ly. Monopolistic industry will only
lower prices and raise wages, if at
all, for the purpose of increasing
profits.
Perhaps the economists of Brook
ings Institute will eventually learn,
as some journalists are doing, where
the answer lies. It seems to be too
simple for theorists in general. Her
bert Agar, a Pulitzer Prize Winner,
whose recent book, “Land of the
Free” concluded that “decentralized
industry and self-contained agrari-
anism” were the answers and recom
mended higher taxation as the
means of arriving at these goals, has
now in his editorial column in the
Louisville Courier-News discovered
the real means to these ends in Con
sumers’ Cooperatives, as in Sweden.
Likewise, Harry Elmer Barnes, who
in December declared that "the only
alternatives left” are Fascism and
Communism, now discovers through
reading “Sweden, the Middle Way
that "Americans have three choices"
—not just two-—and that “many
thoughtful people will prefer . . .
some middle course like that of Swe
den.” Neither voluntary lower pri
ces or higher wages by industry or
taxation by the government are the
final solutions—although all three
are palliatives for the pains of pov
erty. Only eliminating the profit
motive by distributing profits to all
will distribute plenty to all.
