Revises Articles of Association and
By-Laws.
At a meeting of the members of
the Grange Cooperative held Novem
ber 9th for that particular purpose
the Articles of Association and By-
Laws were completely revised and
amended.
The revision as finally adopted
was in most respects the same as
published in the Hermiston Herald
just prior to our last regular meet-
ing.
One important change was in re
gard to membership. Under the new
set-up not only any farmer or pro
ducer of agricultural commodities,
but any person whose interests are
not in conflict with such farmer or
producer may become a member. In
other words we are willing to accept
as a member any person whose in
terests are not in conflict with the
objectives of this institution.
The reasons for this change should
be obvious to all friends of the co
operative movement. From an indi
vidual standpoint and the stand
point of this cooperative we need
volume. V. e need the business to
lower our overhead to the lowest
possible point. We need volume for
our better bargaining power in our
p rebases.
To those who look upon this co-
operative as a part o' a nation wide
movement affecting the economic
welfare of 11 tho peorle. the rea
sons for a more inclusive member
ship should be even more obvious.
We need to make more converts to
the cooperative cause.
We are asking legislative favors.
If we arbitrarily limit our member
ship to a particular group or class
we are askint for special privilege
and class legislation. In opening
our doors to a less restricted mem
bership. we are adopting a policy
pursued by the most successful co-
operatives of other countries.
Another important change is In
our financial set up. We are chang
ing from the two per cent revolving
fund plan to a stock basis. In doing
this we are also following the lead
of the most successful cooperatives
in this and other countries.
Our capital stock is to be limited
to $25,000.00, consisting of one
thousand shares of the common
stock and fifteen hundred shares of
preferred, all of the par value of
ten dollars ($10.00) each. Of this
amount one share and one only shall
be sold to each member. This share
of stock or an agreement to pur
chase same entitles the holder or
contractor to one vote and one only.
Shares of common stock may be
paid for by an assignment of a mem
ber’s equity in the association,
which include his $1.00 membership
if he has paid same, his contribution
to the two per cent revolving fund
and his earned patronage refunds. If
this Is not sufficient he may pay the
balance in cash and receive his
share of stock immediately or he
may sign an application and allow
his future patronage refunds to pay
it out. But no share of stock shall be
issued until fully paid for. This ap
plication or agreement to purchase,
however, entitles him to member
ship and the voting privilege.
Common stock may receive not to
exceed eight per cent dividends
when and as declared by the board
of directors.
cilities added. The producers of the
area served by this association do a
greater percentage of their business
of all kinds cooperatively than pro
ducers in any other territory of wes
tern United States.
During 1935, 526,634 pounds of
butter were sold for $150,654.97.
The association has assets slightly
in excess of $38,000.00 and net
worth, or members’ equity, of $30,-
280.00.

November twenty-third was the
date set for the initial practice for
the 1936-37 edition of the Bulldog
basketball team, On that date suits
were issued and practice begun.
Since Hermiston had no team last
year it is somewhat difficult to pre
dict just what the boys will be able
to do. This year there will usually
be three games when a date is sche
duled for the home court. In addi
tion to the first team, the girls will
have a team and play nearby schools
and the junior high boys’ team will
furnish the third team for an even
ing's games.
A complete schedule has not been
written but a number of games have
been listed and in the course of the
next two weeks it is hoped to com
plete the season's schedule. The
games listed at present include:
