Society of Equity.
Communicated }

| Communicated
We know that you are interested in
any movement that tends to help the
farm ers of our county, and | want to
| call your sttentiou, and the attention
| OF your readers to the movement which
| has begun and which ls rapidly grow
| ing in this county, to organize farmers
| into local unlous of the American So
ciety of Equity. This society was
originated in Indiana about three
years ago. and has spread from its Gen.
ire over the east. west and south, un
til now there are many unions in each
State, and they are rapidly multiplying
in Augusta county
The object of this organization is to
increase the price Of the crops raised
on the farm, by controlled marketing
1t Is cOntended that there never is any
surplus, and conseq uently no good rea
son why prices should so often be
he ow the cost of production, aud an
effort is now to be made to put fair
price on each crop based on an actual
know quantity Of supply with an esti
mated demand. Tue local unions al |
over the country will report the actual
yield per acre for two years-frOm
these reports the actual amount raised
in the whole country will be figured by
experts, and minimum price for the
crops based on the actual supply and
demand will be published in a paper
owned by the Association and SAINT to
each member. The price fixed by the
central Office will be the price demand
ed by the growers. and very little, if
any, will be sold at . loss figure.
The organization already has over
250, 900 farmers in its unions and with
out any additional membership they
own all the so called surplus, aud b,
Withholding it from market can raise
the price of the entire crop, but new
unions are being organized each week,
and by harvest it is predicted that a
large minority of all the farmers in the
United States will be organized. 1t is
not the intention of this society to
force the price of bread to famine
prices, the rules require selling when
the minimum price can be obtained,
holding il price is less than that fixed
by the I entral.
1t is coutended that this will tend
to break up speculation, and the pro-
fits OF farming will 60 into the pockets
Ut the toiler instead Of the speculator.
The organization is non political,
aud partakes of none of the elements
of a secret society, its meetings are
open and all men are welcome to its
benefits. The history OF the past ten
years teaches rs many things, but
nothing so einphaticaily as the benefit
of organization. Every business of
any MAGNITUDE in the county is organ
lied and derives great benefit from its
organ zation as through it, it becom IS
force.
When the farmers are organized the
mightiest force of the world will be
demanding its rights, and Will get
them. Tue motto of this society is q
good neutrality-suspicious. rights from
all men, and all men s rights from us,
and il this is carried out in its fuIlness
| the millennium will come. is Il.

SAY SM0OT MUST GO.
Senate Committee Decides Against Re-
tention Of Seat by Mormon.

Senate Committee Decides Against Re-
tention Of Seat by Mormon.
Reasons for the action Of the senate
committee on privileges and elections
in declaring by majority vote that
Reed Smoot is not entitled to seat
as a senator from Utah are stated in
a report submitted to the senate by
Chairman Burrows. The report in part
says:
"That Mr. Smoot is one Of self per-
petuating body of men known as the
first presidency and twelve apostles Of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, commonly known as the
Mormon church; that these men claim
divine authority to control the mem
bers of said church In all things, tenn
poral as well as spiritual.
THAT this authority is and has been
for several years past SO exercised by
the said first presidency and twelve
apostles as to encourage the practice of
polygamy and polygamous cohabita-
tion in the state Of Utah and else
where, contrary to the constitution and
laws of the state of Utah and the law
of the land
"That the said first presidency and
twelve apostles do now control and for
a long time past have controlled the
political affairs of the state Of Utah
and have thus brought about In said
state union of church and state, con-
trary to the constitution Of said state
of Utah and contrary to the constitu-
tion of the United States.
'And the said Reed Smoot comes
here not as the accredited representa-
tive of the state of Utah in the senate
OF the United States, but as the choice
of the hierarchy which controls the
church and has usurped the functions
of the state In said state of Utah.
The final chapter Of the report ID de-
voted to the "oath of vengeance" adj
ministered to those, who go through
the ceremony known as taking the
endowments.g The, committee says it
was proved that an oath was admin
istered expressed substantially in this
form;
''You and each of you do covenant
and promise that you will pray and
never cease to pray Almighty God to
avenge the blood Of the prophets upon
this nation and that you will teach the
same to your children and to your
children's children unto the third and
fourth generation"
There can be no question" declares
the committee, lin regard to the taking
Of the oath Of the vengeance by Mr..
Smoot,'
The minority report declares that
Reed Smoot possesses all the qualihca-
lions prescribed by the constitution to
make him eligible to seat In the SEN
ate and that the regularity Of his cleo
ton by the legislature Of the state of
Utah is not questioned in any manner.
The minority says the evidence as to
the endowment OATH is unreliable
and declares that Smoot has not en-
couraged or countenanced plural mar
riages, merely acquiescing silently.
