And it is correct now for the
farmer VINO is not awake to his
opportunities. It is said that
''the fool and his money are
soon parted" Some farmer
must have realized the truth of
this, after finding his money was
gone. For years the commercial
world calmly separated the far
mer from his money every year,
and made the farmer like it.
Then some one bobbed up and
said he had enough. The result
was the Farmers Union, and the
Grange, and the cooperative
movement of the producers. To-
day the farmers of the organized
sections are lords in their own
right, and have the same rights
and privileges as any white man
claims.
It came through organization.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-07-13

Presidents elected by the DEM
ocratic party have been: Jeffer-
son, Madison, Monroe, Jackson,
Van Buren, Polk, Pierce, Bu-
chanan and Cleveland, giving
that party control Of the execu-
tive branch of the government
for fifty-six years. The opposi-
tion have elected John Adams,
John Quincy Adams, William
Henry Harrison, Lincoln, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Har-
rison, Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft, giving a total of 60 years
to republicans.
The office of President has
never been made vacant by the
death of a Democrat, while four
incumbents belonging to the
other parties have died in office,
three of them having been as
sassinated. In two Of the in
stances in which the Vice Pres
idents John Tyler and Andrew
Johnson), succeeded to the office
by reason of the death of their
chiefs, although chosen by the
opposition, they virtually left
their party associates, while
President, and acted with the
Democratic party.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-07-13

The organization of a Colville
local of the Farmers Union
marks another onward step of
the farmers of the Colville coun-
try. The individual may be
without protection or assistance,
but the aggregate of the farmers
organization is most powerful.
The farmer has every situation
in his hand if he would but grasp
it, for he is the producer, and
no. man can live without the
producer. The thing we call
money we can neither eat nor
wear nor use to keep us warm.
Man can live without money.
Man cannot live without the
farmer. Does every farmer re-
alize his power in this nation?
The joke column for years has
pictured the rustic as the butt of
Jokes. It was correct for a time.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-07-13

For many years the duties
collected on sugar imports have
amounted to between fifty and
sixty million dollars annually, a
much greater sum than is collect
ed on the importations of any
other product. The reason is
that everybody uses sugar, and
sugar is in the hands of a
trust.
The revenue collections on
sugar amount to 176 of all the
customes revenue of this govern
ment.
While we are paying high
prices for sugar, London gets
her sugar for A cents a pound
retail. In other words, the poor
in London are not taxed on
sugar-to feed the sugar barons.
In this country, everybody is
taxed on sugar. Do you, reader,
get any of the tax? Does the
tax help your pocketbook?
Democracy would place sugar
on the free list, but republican
ism would not and does not and
will not.
What's the answer?
The answer is found in the
nomination of Wilson.

Llili Oecn near large enough to
fill the demand, but the fact the
prison was engaged in the bust
ness made competition, and forced
the importers to reduce prices to
some extent.
Several years ago under the
administration of Governor Mead
arrangements were made to
greatly increase the capacity of
: the bag factory and a large ap-
preparation was made for that
purpose.
Almost from the day Governor
Hay took office he has been
fighting the operation of the bag
factory. A large part of the
unused appropriations of two
years ago he boasts of as a saving
to the state was money appropri-
ated for the purchase of raw jute.
Had this money been spent for
the purchase of jute and had the
convicts available been used in
the mill to manufacture sacks a
profit of many thousands cash
would now be in the treasury
and the state competition would
have enabled the east side farm
ers to have purchased sacks
cheaper.
The last legislature, realizing
the large sums the state had in
vested in the bag factory, the
profit that it's maximum opera
tion would bring in cash to the
treasury and the great benefit to
grain men from competition,
passed an act providing that the
mill should be run to full capacity.
Hay vetoed this provision.
Here is one effect of that veto.
The prison report for May 1912,
shows 115,0 grain bags manu-
factured at a cost of five and one
tenth cents each. Grain bags are
now quoted at about ten cents by
the importers. All the bags manu-
factured last month at the prison
were promptly sold at from 81
to 9 cents. Lacking any more
state supply those who did not
buy from the prison have to pay
the higher rate.
1t is said the state could read
lily sell one million sacks today,
if they had been manufactured.
If sold at nine and one tenth
cents each it would save those who
have to buy from the exporters
at ten cents the amount of SO, 600.
If the same cost as last month
five and one tenth cents) was
not increased, the state in addi-
ton would have made a cash
profit from the million sacks of
$4,000.
Profits from the jute mill go
into the state general fund for
immediate use and reduce the
amount necessary to be
raised by direct tax.
Grain growers Of eastern
Washington are wondering where
Hays boasted administration
comes in in cases such as this.
