The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-02-01

On another page we are publishing
a report of the State COOPERATIVE
Association which met in Seattle
during the month of January. Leg
islation to make more effective CO.
operative laws are before the legislat-
ure this winter. People who have
given this matter study are satisfied
that the Wisconsin law is the best
state law ever passed. The leading
features of this law are as follows:
An Act to create sections 1786e-1
to 1786e-17. inclusive, of the statues,
relating to the incorporation of Co
operative associations, and the fees
to be paid therefor.
The people of the State of Wiscon-
sin, represented in Senate and As
sembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. There are added to the
statutes seventeen new sections to
read: Section 1860 1. Any number
OF persons, not less than five, may
associate themselves as a cooperative
association, society, company, or ex
change, for the purpose of conduct
ing any agricultural, dairy, mercan-
tile, mining, manufacturing or mer-
camille, mining, manufacturing or
mechanical business on the co-opera-
tive plan. For the purposes of this
act, the words association, "com-
pany, Corporation, F" exchange, y
society" or union, - shall be con-
structed to mean the same.

dences of the persons forming the
same. Such articles shall also con-
tain a statement of the purpose OF
the association and shall designate

for and paid in, number of stock
holders, total expenses of operation,

thousand dollars, except as herein
after provided, or be entitled to more
than one vote.
Sec. 1859 g. At any regular meet
ing, or any regularly called special
meeting at which at least a majority
of all it's stockholders shall be present,
or represented, an association or
ganized under this act may, by ma
jority vote of the stockholders present
or represented, subscribe for shares
and invest it's reserve fund, or not to
exceed twenty i've per cent of its
capital, in the capital stock of any
other cooperative association.
Sec. 17S6e-12. At any regularly
called general or special meeting of
the stockholders written vote re-
ceived by mail from any absent stock
holder and signed by him may be
read in such meeting and shall be
equivalent to vote of each of the
stockholders so signing; provided, he
has been previously notified in writ
ing of the exact motion or resolution
upon which such vote is taken and
copy of same is forwarded with and

DIVISION OF PROFITS.
Sec. 1786e-1. The directors, sub
iect to revis1ons by the association
at any general or special meeting,
shall apportion the earnings by first
paying dividends on the paid-up
capital stock not exceeding six per
cent per annum, then setting aside
not less than ten per cent Of the net
profits for reserve fund until an
amount has accumulated in said re-
serve fund equal to thirty per cent of
the paid-up capital stock, and five
per cent thereof for an educational
fund to be used in teaching co-opera
ton, and the remainder of said net
profits by uniform dividend upon the
amount of purchases of shareholders
and upon the wages and salaries of
employees, and one-half of such uni
form dividend to non shareholders on
the amount Of their purchases, which
may be credited to the account of
such non-shareholders on account of
capital stock of the association; but
in nrOductive associations Such as
creameries, cannsries, elevators,
factories, and the like, dividends
shall be on raw material delivered in
stead of on goods purchased. In case
the association is both a selling and
productive concern, the dividends
may be on both raw material deliver
ed and on goods purchased by patrons
Sec. 1786e-14. the profits or net
earnings of such association shall be
distributed to those entitled thereto,
at such times as the bylaws shall
prescribe, which shall be as often as
once in twelve months. If such as
ISOLATION, for five consecutive years
shall fail to declare dividend upon
the shares of it's paid up capital, five
or more stockholders, by petition,
setting forth such fact, may apply to
the circuit court of the county,
wherein is situated it's principal place
of business in this state, for its dis
solution. If, upon hearing, the
allegations OF the petition are found
to be true, the court may abjudge a
dissolution of the association.

sying. Bill Haywood is too wise a
man to live on such a millenial antlcl-
patton. But he is too wise a man TO
believe that he can hold the poor peo-
ple of Paterson with him by merely
stating the prosaic truth. Prophecy is
always sanctioned. And even If it does
never materialize the prophet, when
he is in the prophesying business as
long as Haywood, can soften the shock
of disappointment by drowning out
that shock by the shocking startling
ness of another prophecy more sub
lime and impossible than the first. The
poor uncultured strikers will listen to
him, but they will do what he advises
only at the risk of their own safety
and more impoverishing poverty. The
schemes of the L. w. ". may be meant
well, but they will most certainty
make poor men poorer, and is that

self or think peace necessary at this
time, because of their unpreparedness
for war, if war would come, their re-
marks are pleasurable and to the
American peace apostles very admir-
allie. To the American of the other
States but California, who lives, loves
and works for a wife, a child and a
family, who leaves for war and for
ever, who leaves this wife, this Child
and this family unarmed for the or
phaned struggle whilst he, for the
sake of California, sacrifices his life
and ofttimes the kindred lives of his
family, to him this peace meeting is
r%eassuring. And this will bring back
to his cheek the ruddy glow that with
the gloomy prospect Of everlasting sep
aration from those he loves and lived
for, was turned into a stony, pale,
sickly yellow cast. The men OF Amer
lea will be glad to hear this clarion
call of peace. The men who fight for
it's honor and die unknown; the heroes
that history never records the heroism
of: those whose breasts receive the
bullets-not. those whose names on
history's pages are painted in colors

operated by women which are prov
ing very successful financially and
otherwise. It is just as true that a
good many girls and young women, on
their fathers farms and on the back
lots of the village places are making
enough to buy their clothes and fur
nish spending money, on f1ocks Of poul-
try. There is an excellent opportunity
for PoNTCHATAMMANY girls to take
up this interesting branch of agricul-
tural industry and find pleasure,
health and profit in it. While the far
mer's daughter has the advantage Of
more room and sometimes cheapel
feed, the town and village girl, whose
father has an acre or even a back los
behind his residence, can make a lit
tie profit. We know that there n
thousands of women and girls find
ing this work satisfactory among the
readers Of PoNTCHATAMMANY and fox
the benefit of those about to take up
this branch we will be very glad to
have the successful ones write US
about their work for publication in
these columns.

Paterson, N. j., strikers nave Deen
told by Bill Haywood, nationally noto-
rious agitator and preacher OF vlo-
lence and riots, a disciple OF Chaos,
that they will win this year an eight
hour day, and next year he predicted
they would be working only six hours,
leaving eighteen hours for sleep and
recreation. If this impossibllity and
undesirable thing ever happened, Bill
Haywood will have told the truth ana
made one long step toward a univer-
sal idleness. This ~sugar-coated truth
will be possible of ready digestion.
But it is unnutritious and a poison,
and those who devour it will be worse
off for the devouring. The evil OF our
present system, which forgets the
rights of the laborer, lies not SO much
in the hours of work but in the cir
cumstances of insanitation and inhu-
manness and the number OF the lie
g~alities of oppression and senseless
disregard of justice in the matter OF
a proper wage. 1t is desirable that
men should work. Work, if it were
not necessary as "a means OF getting
those things necessary by which TO
live. would still be necessary because
il is work which is an enjoyable thlng
and necessary as a means of keeping
alive all the parts of our body. Re

governments opposing that for which
il stands. or at least its making the
passage Of its own proposed peace
program more difficult. The truth OF
Governor Johnson's claim that the bill
does not violate any Of the treaty
rights of aliens is admitted. The treaty
rights of aliens are not all the rights
they think they deserve or this Japan
csc protest is unjust. Japan cannot
protest against this bill alleging a ma
tional betrayal Of trust. Japan can
only protest that her representatives,
at the drawing up of the treaty, did
not fully cover the situation and secure
as much for Japan as it should have,
or that things have changed and the
present needs are more numerous than
the needs at the time of the treaty.
Gov. Johnson has proved the first.
Japan. by her protest, has proved the
second. The question, then, is not one
of explaining a delinquency, but one
of granting a new treaty. If America
believes that Japan deserves more pri-
vileges, Japan should be given them.
But let Americas decision be based
on q reasonable investigation OF Cali
lornia's troubles and not be actuated
primarily by a desire for peace even
at the cost of national honor.
