THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, ORE. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1918. f i t MASTER Or STATE GRANGE DELIVERS ANNUAL ADDRESS Occasioa Is Taken to Rap j Politics In Connection with State Road Building J Following is the text of Master C. K Spence's address at the opening o the Sorry fifth aiuum! session of the Ore J go a Stafe Grange in Salem yesterday: I "It is sixteen years since the State j Grange met in Salem the capital city i of our state and in looking back to that time we find that thu city and i our state have made great progress, V wick as could be accomplished only iu . a new state and by a progressive, eu- i ergetic people. f "We are pleased to meet Again in I this the original home of the State I Grairge, and taust that this session will I be as pleasant and profitable as was that session sixteen years ago. j "l)n looking over the proceedings I of that session 1 find that some of the J problems that were under cousidera- i tion have 'been solved whilo many i more remain to be worked out in a s practical way. "Great progress has been made in j our methods and system of farming. With the assistance of the agricultural i college and thru the experience of in telligent tanners natural obstacles have been over come and we are bet ter -abIo to take advantage of the op portunities end advantages offered in the state. ' "On the other hand we find many acres of good agricultural land unde veloped, waiting for some sturdy hand to clear off the stumps, drain the laud or prepare it and supply the water fct irrigation. , "We find that the population of towns and cities is increasing at a much greater ratio than that of the country and that there is a greater dif ference in the .rate at present than there was sixteen years ago. "lu order to carry out our declara tion of purposes' ' is- necessay that we make a survey of the conditions which cause this unnatural growth of the cities and the undeveloped condi tions in the country. "ft must be admitted that l.v the increased use of improved machinery, and more scientific methods of farm ing the production of farm crops per man is greatly increased, but on the other hand we find a condition of grad ually decreasing production of farm crops per capita, of all the population, with an increase in. the cost of produc tion and in the cost to the consumer. "Even in this comparatively now state wo find farmers, both young and middle aged, moving to the cities for what they claim to be greater social, educational and economic advantages. Thig situation is more apparent in some eastern states where good farms, aro abandoned and arc on tho marked for less than the buildings cost. "With the coming of good roads and the automobile the social and edu cational part of our problem will be largely solved if the roads are built so as to connect the farming commu nities with the marketing and ship ping points, while on the ether hand if tho craze for scenic highways and pleasure boulevards continue to absorb our available funds, tho agricultural conditions will only be aggravated. "In eastern states as wejl as our own the determining factor which ex erts the greatest influence in keeping people on tho farm or In driving them to the cities, is that of economics, or dollars or eonts. "If 'there is no money in it,' no amount of persuasion will keep people on the land. If other vocations have better incomes and snorter hours and more entertainment, there is where people will go, and who can blame them? "The fault is not all the farmer's for he often gets less for a bumper crop than he does for half a crop, and frequently his produce rots on his bands for want of a market while peo ple not many miles away are suffer ing for that very product, or the price which they arc required to pay is so high that they can not afford to buy. "Then, a large part of the-fault lies in our system of distribution. A government report shows that when the consumer pays one dollar for farm produce on the average, sixty five cents goes for distribution anil thirty five cents to the producer. In other words, it eoBts, nearly fwice as much to handle farm produce as the fanner gets for it. "Thexe is no more important serv ice rendered society by any class of people than that of prcducing the ne cessary food and clothing required for the protection and sustenance of man kind. If those who aro engaged in that important service are not as well or berter paid than any other class there is something wrcng with the farm. wi;h tho farmer, or with the sys tem under which he is working. "It has been shown above, that as a rule it is not the farm, nor the far mer as a class, but the marketing sys tem that is to- blame for the economic condition of the farnir. "If this be true,, it is the duty of the grange to do all in its power to find a remedy for exiting conditions claiming as it docs to be the oldest and mcst influential of all farm organ isations, or failing in that, to at least assist any other organization that pro poses a practical remedy. Is Co-op iration the Bemedy? "National Master Oliver Wilson, in speaking of cooperation in his address at the la session of the national grange, said that 'this vital question has been digeustcd in all its phases inee the organization of the grange and vet it remains an unsolved prob lem.'" "We believe the gTange in Oregon has made a good beginning towards a prac tical system of cooperative buying but as yet cooperative selling of the Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR I A 'diversified crops of the Oregon farmer 'remains an unsolved problem.' "The grange and other farm organ izations, have tried time after time, at great sacrifice to individual mem bers to sell cooperatively, but it has alwaysbeen an uphill fight with many failures and but few isolated eases of aueceea. Inexperience land sometime dishonesty contributed to the failures, but more otten the true causes were the united opposition of the business and financial world and the fact that the consumer was not taken into consider ation. "The farmers of Denmark have made notablo - success in cooperative buying and selling, in fact they prac tically con tnd that business in that country and have agents for their co i operative society in other- countries. They are substantially the controlling Factor in polities, in fact it was only thru politics that thev were able to I get control of the marketing situation. The Australian provinces have ac complished the same results ;by using the machinery of the state to establiso ! markets, warehouses, cold storage and packing plants. The following resolution was passed without a dissenting vote at the 1917 s'fsion of the national grange: "'Whereas, too large a portion ot the agricultural products of the coun try go to waste at the present time for want of proper means of conservation and distribution, " 'Resolved, that the national grange in fifty first annual session assembled endorse the proposition of the crea tion of municipal food warehouses, where practicable, to contain a cold storage plant, ereamery, dehydrating plants, canning factories, and potato evaporators so that the consumer in tho city may receive the necessities of life at a more reasonable cost, ana the producer be assured, a market for his products.' "The resolution was introduced by Bro. Chapman, master of the Massa chusetts sta.to grange. "Tho marketing problem, next to that of tho war, over shadows all oth ers. It is my opinion that a proper so lution of it will do more to promote the general welfare, establish justice and insuro domestic tranquility, and create a united, contented and home owning, home loving, patriotic people than any thing else that can bo done at this time. "Nothing can do more to unite the people in support of the government and insure domestic tranquility than an equitable marketing system that will, abolish the unnecessary middle man and profiteer. "This is our opportunity. Will the grange lead or will it follow? Cooperation "Cooperative buying thru a state purchasing agent seems now to be linn lv established and' it is believed that I with proper cueourageincnt from the slate grange for another year tho bus iness will be able to take care of itseit 'and rav its way. "It is gratifying to note tho coop eration of tho granges with other or ganizations in the war work, such as itcd Crosa, liberty bond and thrift stamp drives, and I would suggest that the grange take a more active part as an organization in order to get the credit due as a patriotic body. Agricultural Lime "Many people have been disappoint ed in not getting lime for this year's crops from the state limo board, but the board has been sadly handicapped for want of sufficient funds with which to secure a suitable deposit of lime, were compelled to purchase sec ond hand' equipment and now have no funds available for tho operation of the plant- "This state grange should ndopt a resolution requesting tuat the unex pended part of the 15,000 appropriat ed by the last legislature to advertise the state to. tourists, be transferred to the lime board, as it is now generally admitted that the corn crop will be more potent in the winning of the war than the tourist crop. Sural Credits "In tho matter of state rural credits is another instance where the tourist receives greater consideration in the 'state of Oregon than the farmer. I When the land board received bids below par, for rural credit bonds tney decided that the honor and credit of the state would be impaired if state bonds were sold below par. "But when bids were received as low as 92 cents on the dollar for road bonds, evidently the honor nor credit of the state were not involved, ror road bonds were sold a! about that price. ' Good Boads During the road bond campaign the farmer was told that it was all in his interest and dt would get him out of the mud, but when it came to the ap pointment of a highway commission, there was no farmer in the state "who could be trusted with the expenditure of the highway fumwi. A timber bar on, a hanker, and a politician were giv en the job. Again tho tourists' inter ests scored over the fanner. "Practically every condition pre dicted by those opKsed to the bonds are assured t this date. "War conditions have caused a 'scarcity ot labor and paving costs are jbigher" than predicted. The pa'ented i paving has been favored almost ex- c.lnsiveiy anti tne price up mg" ouuugu to include roya'ty and profit. "A second hand jmving plant was purchased at a good price last fall but as yet has not been used by the high way commission. i "The good wads movement has suf fered beyond estimation from the in competency and extravagance of the commission. 1 "On the oher hand, many counties are doing creditable work and at the same time, keeping the cost within reas 'onable bounds. Clacsamas and Lane 'countien deerving opecinl mention. Hydro Electric Power t( There are increasing demands foi the use of hydro electric power to take the place of coal and oil, so much needed in the war, but much of this ery is made by corporations that al ready w much undeveloped water power, anj desire a monopoly of the hydro electric power of tho country. "It if yuportant that the state and federal governments retain control of all w-atc power not already owned by prjvate .interests and that ownership .and development of water power by municipalities and states be encourag ed as aa effective means of preventing monopoly and trust prices. - . The War "No matter what were the direct cau.S or excuses for this war, no mat ter what issues were at stake m the beginning, it lias developed into a con test for. industrial and, political free dom on the one side and military slav ery on the o;-her. If one side wins in dustrial freedom will advance more rapidly than- it has for generations, if tho other . side wins civilization will be turned back centuries. "In the- beginning our revolutionary fathers ilrd not aim at independence, neither did the people of the north aim at tho abolition of negro slavery at the 'beginning of the civil war, but as President Wilson saidi 'This) has become a war for freedom. It has be come a war for freesom tor us too and with nothing but economic free dom will we bo content-' Financing the War ' 'The last session of this state grango passed strong resolutions in favor of' paying a large share of tho war ex peuse8 with taxes levied on incomes and excess war profits. A law was passed levying an av erage of 32 per cent on excess war pro fits, but now President Wilson favors a measure that will collect 40 per cent of the war expenses from excess prof its and the payment of 60 per cent from the sale of bonds. "Senator McNary of Oregon was one of the few senators who voted for as high as 80 -per cent tax on war prof its. "Wo should support our president and Senator McNary in this matter and urge all other members from Ore gJon to give their support to this meas ure. "This is a war of sacrifice on the part of all the people and that man makes no sacrifice who gives only a part of the-profits he receives' because of the war. All war profits should be taken iby tho government and this grange should reaffirm its action of last year, that all income and profits over $100,000 should be taken. Or if no profiteering wore permitted, the people could pay all the war taxes and bo money ahead. importance of orange Worn ? Oregon has been . spoken of by thoso who opposed her political activi ties as 'the fool of the family.' But Oregon has. boon the leader and not tli fool, and hor habit of leading is dem onstrated in her war work. "She is first, with volunteers, first in tho .liberty loan, and first in Eed Cross subscription. Like tho father of our country, 'He was first in pence, first jn war, uid first in the hearts ot his countrymen.' "Much credit is due the grange for the position occupied by the stato in the nation today and at this important rune the grange should not consider for a moment the proposition of laying aside its work till after the war. "The farmers of the state can not afferd to allow this organization to ceaso its activities. 'This 'period in tho history of our nation will sJand out as one of the most important of its existence.' President Wilson has said: 'We must learn, we freemen, to meet as our fathers did, somehow, somewhere, for consultation. There must be discussion and debate, in which all freely partic ipate.' ' Yv here is there is more suitable place than in the grange for consulta tion -and discussion! "This is a time for calm delibera tion and judicious action, and not a time for hysterical speech or mob lead ership. President Wilson has well said that ho who goes into a mob is not fit to live in a democracy. Any person or publication that mig goats mob rule by word or picture is a worse enemy to the country than the most out spoken pro-Uuu in the country. It is by this calm deliberation and consultation that the members of the grange are prepared to assume the leadership in a crisis like the present. "Every dollar expended and every hour given for the work of the grange is a good investment for the future of our state and our country and-like bread cast upon the waters, will return after many days- Alter the war "When this war is over thousands orf our men will come back to us many of them handicapped in various ways and practically all of them without financial resources. Provisions should be made for their employment in use ful industries and land should bo avail able for those who wish to engage in agriculture. But it would be the height of folly to give them a lot of stump or sage brush land and expect them to clear it off and make a living while they are doing it. I nder mudorn conditions, capital and some machinery are necessary, live stock is essential. The men who have fought our battle at the front deserve something better than to be turned loose on a picoc of brush land. "The men who are able to work will need employment. Extensive road build ing should be delayed till the war is over, then those men should be cm- ployed in building roads and in pre paring Sand for agriculture. ' 'Provisions should be made for homes or farms, for any who are with out, on terms that arc reasonable and juxt. Speculation and profit should be eliminated and our rural credits laws i should be amended to meet the condi tions. "The stability of all nations depend upon the home owners and especially upon tho proportion of those engaged in agriculture who are shareholders in the commonwealth. "Strips ghould be taken and prepa rations made to meet this emergency now. Patriotic Duty of tne Grange "The first patriotie duty of the grange is to aid th government to the extent of onr ability br raising the crops most needed to supply food nd ciuwuuK iv our suHiirrv ana our vines.

'Could Not Eat Mush, Now Eats Hot Bread, Clams or Anything He Wants Port Townsend, Wash. Hundreds of people, know how Charles .Witte used to suffer from indigestion, yet today he can. to use his own words, "Digest anything an-ostrich can digest." Mr. Witre says: "1 tried all kinds of med icines for indigestion without obtain ing relief. I heard of ii nesl a ad bought a 50e bottle and it gave me re lief right away- I felt a great deal better. It is the only thing that has done me any good and 1 cannot praise it too highly- Before 1 began using Bi-nesia X could not digest mush; now 1 digest hot bread, laun or any kind of food; in fact, anything that au os trich, can digest. Before 1 used Bl-nsia I was in misery after every meal; now 1 do not have, any' pain and feel fine. I want to say to all sufferers from in digestion: Just try JBi-ncaa and 1 am sure that you will never regret it. I know what it has done for nte and I know it will do the same fur you." Bi-nesia, tho remarkable preparation which has done so much for Mr. Witte and thousands) of others is ob tainable of leading druggists every where in both powder and tablet form at 50c aud each, package contains binding guarantee! ot satisfaction or money 'back. In, fact, your own drug gist, a man whom you personally know stands back of that guarantee and is authorized to say to you: "Eat a hear ty meal of the good things you like then tako Bl-nesia. If it fails you can have your money back and the trial will cost you nothing." ton t wait, don't delay. Get Bl-nesia today and experience as did Mr. Witte the pleas ure of eating without fear of pain and suffering to follow. "Second, wo should do all in our power to assist the government iu the elimination of speculation and profit eering in the necessities of life, and in the tools necessary for their pro duction. "Third, we should be willing to tako any .political action necessary to get the desired results. ' ' President Wilson has said- that. " 'Tho reasons that America was set up was that she might be different from all tno nations or tne worm is this: that tho strong could not put tho weak to tho wall, that the strong could not prevent the weak from entsring the race- Amenea stands tor opportu nity. America stands- for a free field and no favor. America stanas for a government rosponsive to the interests of all.' ' ' We of the grange owe it to our selves, to cur families and to our pos terity to make this country what it was set up to be. trooa oi uie uruer "As Btatied before, grange work sliouldi not be allowed to decline. We should exert every energy to make the organiz.tiion strong in order to meet tho envcrKeneios that are to come. We should support the grange for the good in can do now anil tor tne, good u must do in the future. "The cooperative wofk should be brought to every subordinate grange. A dollar saved is aa good as a dollur earned and the work of tho past year has demonstiated that many times tn amount of our dues enn be saved in cooperative buying alone. " Patronize your own business.
