O0OPERAOTVE MARKETING.
When the farmer begins to turn
\ his attention from the raising of cot
- ton and looks around him to find
out what other crops he can best
gjrow ..that may be profitably turned
' into cash, the first problem that con-,
fronts him is the marketing of such
crops. Most municipalities, in their
: endeavor to protect their butchers and
wopn crrocervman. have levied re
strictive licensing upon the sale of
farm products direct to the consumer
by the farmer to such an extent as
to make it almost prohibitive for our
farmers to atempt such sales. Besides
this is an age of hurry and hustle
and the time consumed in peddling
stuff from house to house can be more
.profitably utilized. Some other means
must be devised of disposing of the
. surplus food products. It is noted
' with gratification that steps along this
line are taken by many communities
in the organization of cooperative
marketing associations by farmers
throughout the state. ;
' But the farmer alone cannot make
the success of cooperative marketing
which it should have. He must have
fhe support and encouragement of the
dwellers in towns and cities, who are
dependent upon him for the food
which sustains them. They should be I
willing and anxious to buy from our
own people rather than from Western
farmers through the medium of brokers.
-One of the troubles which they
have encountered when they have
attempted to do this is that our farmers
do not try to meet I
their competitors of the West. Certainly
it is much more advantageous
to a wholesaler to have delivered at
his side door a carload of corn or
oats or other produce on which he
has 30 days to pay and which is properly
graded and sacked or otherwise
put in proper containers, than it I
would be to buy the same carload I
from ten, twenty or perhaps more
onH ri9v out the cash in I
HlUHrxuuata x
driblets. Trade, like almost everything
else, is bound to take the line
of least resistance.
Cooperative marketing associations,
having selling agents in whom all con'.
corned had confidence, and assuring
to the farmers a square deal while
smoothing out some of the difficulties
of the present haphazard method,
ought to prove highly beneficial to
all concerned. The farmers, howover,
have been offered so many remedies
for their ills and have had so
much really bad advice, that they
will be naturally cautious about new
movements. It will, therefore, . be
fortunate if our cities and towns-are
willing to help take up some such
movement and pledge their aid in
helping to make cooperative marketing
a success. The enormous amount
sent out of this state every year for
food can be largely kept at home if we
make up our minds to do it, but before
our farmers are warranted in
growing food crops for market they
must have some assurance that they
will be able to dispose of such crops.
A truly cooperative marketing plan,
in which all citiezns of the state will
, jain, will go far towards providing
the means for accomplishing this result.
SENTIMENT AND- BUSINESS.
Governor Cooper did not touch a
responsive chord in South Carolina
. c when he advocated the cancellation
of the something more than ten bil
lions of debt owed this country by
the allies. With our own people suffering
from the most acute financial
stress in years there are very few
people in the state, we venture, who
are willing to account this sum a
mere "bag o' shells" and generously
give it away?certainly the bulk of
those who have to wrestle with the
income tax returns will be slow to accept
the governor's view. On the
other hand the people of this state
and of the Union have no disposition
"* ' - to
be unduly hard on our debtors,
arid
we are willing to give them ample
time to get on their feet before pressing
the payment of the* debt. In this
connection it is well enough to con-i
sider that the great bulk of'the debt
is owed by France and England, both
of which countries, while suffering
terribly from the war, also received
benefits in the way of expanded territory
from which they will in time,
at least to some extent, recoup in
part their war losses. The United
States received nothing whatever in
the way of benefit under the terms of
the treaty and it is asking a large
draft on our generosity to cancel tht;
war debts owed the United States. If
the payment of interest on these
loans is so great a drain upon the
resources of the debtors as to materially
retard their progress back to
normal, we - can cancel the payment
of interest for a period sufficient to
enable them to get started, but eventually
they will be able to pay the
principal and our sympathy ought not
to run entirely away with our business.
The taxpayers of the United
States are being burdened to pay back
the war losses, including interest on
these debts, and the great majority
of them we believe are unwilling to
throw away the huge sum owed to
us.
STORM OF PROTEST.
There has been in recent years
nothing which has caused such a
gtorm of protest as has the raise in
telephone rates which the Bell Telephone
company has just put over in
South Carolina, with the consent of
. the railroad commission* In some
towns, indignant subscribers by the
score have ordered their phones removed
in protest, and some members
of the general assembly are urging
the governor to call a special ses-1
sion of that body to protect the people.
At a time when every other
j business is being readjusted to meet
changed conditions and everybody
has been forced more or less to "deflate"
or "liquidate," the telephone
company, instead of so readjusting
their business so as to make it profit- i
able at high war rates, has added another
increase which the "deflated" j
people are expected to shoulder in
silent protest, but which they are
most vigorously protesting?with i
what effect remains to be seen.
r>oiivrko<-7 rntexi recent! v kited in
JL WU111 VU>U A VbWV?) > V W
this state, are now at the point where ^
they are "killing the goose" and yet
the public, from its treasury at Washington,
is expected to make good the i
loss. Who will make good the loss
of the farmers, the merchants?the
butcher, the candlestick maker, and
every other man conducting a private
busiuess?
It is time for a little readjustment j
in the interest of the tax-paying pub-j
lie.
LEAGUE REPUDIATED. I
Other than the complete repudiation
of the present League of Nations,
the foreign policy of the new administration
is hazy as laid down by
President Harding in his address to
congress. While approving some sort
of an association for world peace?a
vague, nebulous and ill-defined combination
of the world, he lays the
greatest stress upon preserving our
isolation. Time will tell the wisdom
of this policy, but it seems to us that
somewhere between the irreconcilables
like President Wilson on the one
hand and the Borah-Johnson element,
there was room for reforming such
defects in the present league as might
appear and availing ourselves of its i
present organiaztion to lift the world
out of its present slough of despondency.
President Harding's 'addrjess
leaves one cold?chilled with the utter
selfishness of his world viewpoint.
His pronouncement can have no good
effect on world conditions, now in so
distressed condition.
President Harding's recommendation
of a black and white commission
to investigate lynching is worse than
absurb?it is insulting. When the
crime for which lynching is generally
the penalty vanishes we will not likely
hear much of lynching.
"Unwept, unhonored and unsung"
can be truly said of T. U. Vaughn.
He paid the penalty for his crime as
surely as if death had come in the
electric chair.
FIRE IN COUNTRY.
The home of Mr. Levi Lown at the
old Emanuel Lown place was destroyed
by fire Saturday night. The
house and practically all of its contents
were destroyed. Mr. Leaphart,
who had recently moved into the
house also, was a loser. It is not
Known whether the loss was insured.
NEWBERG SCHOOL.
There will be a moving picture
show at Newberg school house Saturday
night, April 16, beginning at I
8:30 o'clock. Remember we have a J
Fatty Arbuckle and other famous I
comedy star plays, also other good
pictures.
MR. FURTICK REPLIES
TO SENATOR CROSSON.
Editors Dispatch-News:
I want to thank you in advance
for space in your valuable columns
to reply to the recent brilliant attempt
and dismal failure of my friend
Senator Crosson in defending his
weak position relating to the appointment
of the late Board of County
Commissioners.
I want to say at the outset that I
have no word of censure for either ,
of the four geneltmene in question.
So far as I know they are gentlemen
in every sense of the word.
The personnel of the board shows
only one out of four a country man
to attend to business purely of a
rural and agricultural' nature. I do
not claim that these men are not
fully competent to transact this busi|
ness, but that there are other farmers
and business men not living in the i
towns just as competent and better in
position to see and appreciate the
conditions and with more time and interest
in them.
I know of no town in this county
where men from the country are put
in charge of affairs pertaining entirely
to those towns. Do you? Now,
senator, you say: "I personally nominated
the four gentlemen who composed
the old board, but neither of
them was elected." Now, Senator, I
know and can furnish ample proof
that you did not do this. But for argument
sake, admitting that you did,
do you thus openly admit your utter
lack of influence with the delegation
of which you are the honored chairman,
being senator, that you could
not put across at least one man out
of four for the board? Honest
to goodness, now. Senator,
why this noticeable lack of influence
ill. XT ATT T!> rlnlcnrotinn (o C Vflll fprm
Willi 1 V U1W \W.W J ... .
it), of a man who could so influence
the great State Highway Commission
and induce them to shake themselves
loose from fifteen thousand dollars, as
you claim.
Xow, Senator, it* seems to me that
you have offered a lame, pitiable explanation
which fails absolutely to explain
because late developments show
conclusively that long ago the ''DIE''
was cast and that you no doubt saw;
in "your vision at night the names of
some at least of the personnel of our
Board of Commissioners.
