WITHYCOMBE OPPOSES II PUBLIC MARKET AS
That Dr. .Tallies "Withyeoinbe opposes public markets
and does wliat ho can to prevent their establishment is
proven by tho following letter written the t,nl Tribune in
January, 1912, following a speech he maricnr a local ban
quet against the market. This speech was criticised by the
Mail Tribune, which was conducting a newspaper cam
paign for the market which ended in its establishment,
and the letter below is Dr. Withyeoinbe 's reply to the crit
icism: OREGON EXPERIMENT STATION, James AVithy-
combe, Director, Corvallis, Oregon, .Jan. 27, 1912.
To the Editer:
Through the kindness of a friend T am just in receipt of
a copy of the Mail Tribune containing an editorial criti
cism of my position on the public market. Permit me to
say in reidv thereto that I stand first and at all times with
the fanner, but POSITIVELY OPPOSE THE SO-CAT.L-JOD

oughly organized business units, where the growbivk iot
bothered with the problem of distribution but leaves this
with a hoard of directors who establishes standards and
employ thoroughly trained business ifieirto attend to, the
market end of the organization.
IF THE BEAUTIFUL AND PROGRESSIVE CITY
OP MEDFORD ESTABLISHES THE ANTIQUATED
PUBLIC MARKET IT IS MY PREDICTION THAT IT
WILL PROVE TO BE A LONG STEP BACKWARD.
The problem of production is entirely different from
the problem of distribution and arc two distinct 'fields of
endeavor THE FARMER. SHOULD DEVOTE HIS
TIME AND THOUGHT TO THE ART AND SCIENCE
01? PRODUCTION AND LEAVE THE SUBJECT OF
DISTRIBUTION TO THOSE TRAINED FOR THAT
CLASS OF WORK.
It would be far better if the farmers would effect an
organization, elect a board of directors, empoworcd to
employ a thoroughly trained business man to take charge
of a central market and to whom all products for sale are
consigned. In the absence of this, the next best thing is
to trust to tho local merchant and develop if possible a
closer business eo-operation so as to reduce the nrarginal
difference between what iho xH'oduccr receives and the
consuiiier pays to the lowest possible limit
Very trulv vours,

Senator George B. Cheiavheriek

received an ovation whea he chal
lenged those maligning him to sub
stantiate n single charge against his
integrity as a public official.
"No man or woman, child or newn
paper," said Governor Charaborlata,
"can place a finger on one dishonest
net of mine. I challenge anyone ie
substantiate a single charge against
mv integrity ns a servant of the sta
ple. "I have given twenty-one years of
my life in tho service of the people of
this state, and in that time millions ef
dollars of tho money beloagieg to the
school children of this state1, and
great tracts of timbered and other
lands have been under my control
but no one can point to one instance
where I wns recreant to my trust.
Might Have Had MUUea
."If I had used these years and
opportunity I had to acquire great
holdings of. timber lauds, I might
have had a million dollars, foo. But
1 would rather leave to my children
tho heritage of a good namo than te
leave them a million dollars, and have
.the method by which I obtained it in
vestigated rtuestioncd and subject to
attack. I would rather die poor than
to leave a fortune with a question
mark ns to how I got it.
"Jfy good friends, I want to tell
you there are millions in this fight
ngninst me. Wlicther there is a com
bination of two millionaires in the
fight against mo or sot I have net
l'oiiud out. My opponents can find m
fault in my public record, and as a
last resort thoy have gone dew iat
the sewer and into the garbage aan
and nro employing the methods, (f,
tho character assassin to defeat aae.'
"All I want to do is to warn yW
people of the kind of fight that Is be
ing made ngninst me, and to ask y
to, sift the charge yoii Way hear aisf
