COOPERATION BETTER THAN Pc
LlTiCAL dope"

Charles Adkins, speaker Of the Hi
nois legislature, gave the association
probably the most practically valuable
speech it heard at Mitchell. Speak
ing out Of his experience as pionee!
in the Illinois cooperative movement
he showed what has actually been
done there, how it has been done, how
they have failed at times and why
and the dangers and possibilities OF
the movement
Nine years ago they had only Il
cooperative elevators in Illinois, and
when they started, buyers and com
mission men refused to handle their
grain. They found it necessary TO
fight organization with organization
and formed the state association. Then
they got concerns to handle their
stuff
Their next difficulty was from at
tempts to use the movement for the
personal ends of smooth schemes.
This was frustrated by care and mn-
tual confidence. Again the disloyalty
Of members endangered their perma-
nence, but enough resisted the bait
of higher prices to keep the concern
going. After few years they had a
dividend to distribute. Then the
shareholders who had been selling out
for cent or so per bushel to the old
line dealers and refused to pay the
penalty tax, smilingly came up for
their dividends. But they didn't get
them. They were told that until they
came across with the maintenance
payments, even II they might be H.
legal, they would never get share OF
the profits secured by the sacrifices OF
their fellows. At least they would
have to fight It to the United States
Supreme Court. So they paid the
penalties in arrears to get their dfvi-
dends Now practically none IN the
community but stick to the cooper
alive elevator.
Mr.. Adkins believes that co-opera-
ton has great possibilities In the
country He considers It the remedy
for the high cost Of living for which
farmers get the blame, while In real
fly 1t is wastefuI and cfrcuitous meth
DDS of distribution which make living
high. Cooperation will help consum
ers as wen as it has helped producers
1t will not crush the mfddlemen, eth
er, for they will adjust themselves as
the movement gradually spreads.
The genial Illinois Speaker waved
scornful when contrasting the empty
phrases of demagogues who are cry
ing give the people a chance" with
those who are promoting cooperation
which really affords opportunity to
the people to better their condition
The referendum and recall he counts
less important than a more econom-
ical method Of doing business.
He made an appeal for every man,
farmer, laborer, or business man to
become q politician IN the sense OF
taking a real interest in the pubic
business AS it is now in his state,
you can scarcely get man to work
for any cause or party unless he is
paid either in money or office. The
mercenary attitude toward politics IS
our gravest danger; the source OF the
corruption in which Illinois is sadiy

age any particular line of business is
too paramount to be treated lightly
We know that education is neces-
sary to superior intelligence, and
we also know that intelligence is nee
essary to a full understanding of
cause and effect.
The cause of cooperative dealing
has been and is too apparent because
it strikes at every home, and It is so
open, that anybody who walks may
see. Yet this cause is being belit-
tied. even by it's beneficiaries and
friends. because of influences that are
perfectly natural, there is not pro.
Queer today, but what is fully aware
of this.
Cooperative selling, in its essential
and beneficial effects and tendencies
is discouraged by great many nat
ural influences, that are at work con-
tnually. The professional business
man, entrenched in his customary hab-
its of business and having nothing to
consider but the volume Of trade that
he might be able to control, finding
the foundation on which he stands
slowly but surely slipping from be-
operation, uses every available in
fiuence at his command to counteract
this force, to throw every availa 10
obstacle in its way. Cautions his en-
ployes in manners and sociability, that

intelligent and genial personality,

Co-operators, seeing and knowing
this, and knowing how subject the
human mind is to surrounding in
f1uences. must institute some method
to counteract this influence, and the
only practical means that are avail
able is education.
The farmer, viewed from a theo-
Tetical standpoint, is presumed to be
disqualified to manage business COM
pany. Viewed from the standpoint !
Of non-stockholder or nGn-patron, |
through fear of personal benefit, this |
heresy Is the cause of great deal of |
friction in the different cooperative
communities.
In order to dissipate this influence
and inherent belief, it becomes nee
essary to employ some organ that l.

that will show up every method of |

the reasons why they should patron

Miles K Culver was called upon to
address the convention and said IN
part:
They sometimes ask us why coop
Grafton is necessary. believe the
necessity for it is growing greater
every year Cooperative societies
among the farmers must do the work
that trade unions are now doing 1or
the laboring men. The trusts are
growing more numerous, better or
ganized and stronger every day, and
that makes 1t necessary for those
who have to deal with the trusts TO
organize. 5
II Then another thing, the old enemy
We displaced is still filled with the
same spirit of greed and would 40
lust the same as they did before II
our cooperative companies should go
ont OF existence.

Next came the nomination OF oft1c-
ers The plan South Dakota now has
seems to give the best of satisfaction,
all being done from the floor. The
nominations were as follows:
Prof. j. A. Ross of Sioux Falls de-
ivered an address on the so-called
Aldrich bill providing for the central
reserve association. Mr.. H. G. Solem
of Baltic had been placed on the pro-
gram for this subject and was unable
to be present, so he got Prof. Ross
in his place. He spoke of the fact
that Mr.. Solem was one of the oldest
settlers Of Minnehaha county and was
the owner of 1000 acres of land in
that county.
A cry has gone up that the govern
ment should not 60 into the banking
business, but we believe that the
corporations should not go into the
government business, and under the
plan Of the banks under the propos-
ed system they assume one of the
functions Of government. This power
rightfulIy belongs to the government
alone, and should not be delegated
to corporations. He then described
the plan of the proposed bill, how
that they expected to withdraw all of
the paper money of whatever sort
now in circulation, and some of the
gold also, and circulate IN its place
only the money Of this association.
Under this plan they could crush out
any Of the smaller banks that they
wished to. They would have the
main part of the reserve taken away
to the money centers. AS they had
been able under the present system TO
cause a panic in 1893 and 1907. they
could do so much better If they could
get this system provided for by law

different committees made their re-
port. az, g.
