agriculture and reduce the high cost of
living is a force of men who will 90 out
and educate the farmers in the advan.

THE VALUE OF OUR WATER POWER

Apropos of the editorial from the Marshfeld Record
reprinted in this issue few figures as to the value of
0regons water power not counting that of the other
coast states which of will go whatever way those
of Oregon do, it will become plain why certain great
hearted men are working for an opportunity to develop
our water powers now going to waste"
0regon's water power is estimated at not less than
four millon-and some estimates run as high six
million horse power,
Taking the lower estimate let lis see what the gentle
working hard to get opportunity to develop
it for
Power is sold in the East at from $50 to $40 per horse
power per year AT the lower estimate it will be seen
0regon horse power worth when controlled
year. The actual cost of furnishing this power would
not be over onefourth of this sum- but let us be liberal
and estimate it at half This would leave net income

Another Farmers Opinion.

Editor Capital Journal: Might I
give an observers view of the en-
ployment of Mr. l.. j. Chaplin as county
agrieulturisti
have no reason TO question Mr..
Chaplin 5 qualifications or ability to fill
this position. But l do call into ques-
tion the present need of his services.
With very few exceptions, about all
the products are now produced on Ma
rion county soil that can be grown with
profit under our existing conditionsaof
labor and markets.
In fact much is grown at loss to the
average producer
Hops, wheat, oats, apples, peaches,
pears, loganberries, potatoes, cabbage,
hogs. cattle, corn and other products
are now moving into local markets at
little or no profit if not at an actual
loss to the farmer, were all of the
items of expense considered.
If any one should doubt this state
ment let him figure the cost in bust
ness-like way and he will be convinced
by his own figures.
The loss IS usually represented by an
increased mortgage on the farms.
Now, why should re expend public
funds to command Mr.. Chaplin s time in
an effort to have our farmers grow big
ger crops when the present output al
ready more than meets the demand
Such movement would not lower
the cost of living to consumers. The
price is usually about the same to him
no matter how little the farmer is paid
Increasing farm products in this county
would further impoy vrfsh our farmers;
enrich the middlemen and money lender
and would be of no material relief to
consumers.
Economically speaking the output of
our farms is limited by the expense in
Cured in growing the crops and the
capacity of our markets to absorb them
at a profit to the grower.
Farmers cannot and will not continue
to grow crops at loss as in the case
Of our now over-supplied market.
The question uppermOst in the minds
of our farmers is not Chow much can
1 grove" but rather "what shall /
grow that can sell at a profit9''
we may ne dSSureu WHen tne markets.
are at hand, the farmers will gladly
meet the demand and they will be
found to have ample skill in doing this
On the contrary, until such markets
shall become available, not all the ad-
vice that Mr.. Chaplin can give will be of
any material service.
The remedy for thrs whole agricul-
tural muddle lies first in educating our
farmers in the advantages of co-opera-
tive buying and selling and in establish.
ing for themselves rural credit associa-
tions.
But this would interfere seriously
with the business of the toll.takers who
eagerly protect their privilege to levy
tribute on every mouthful of food that
is taken by consumers.
Farmers need to be educated along
the lines indicated instead of merely
how to grow more crops Consumers
must aid in this movement toward CO.
operation among farmers if they expect
early substantial relief from the pres.
ent high cost of the common necessities
of life.

Salem, Or, Oct 9, 1915.
Judge Bushey and
County Commissioners,
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Sirs;-
With regard to approprating county
funds for the employment of Mr.. L.
j. Chaplin as county agriculturist, |
think | voice the sentiment of the vast
majority of Marion county farmers,
when | say that Mr. Chapin's services
are not needed at this time, however
gratified he may be for the work.
Our problem is not, waat we can
grow or how much we can grow on our
farms, but what we can sell at a reason
able profit after it is ready for the
market.
About everything offered for sale in
the local markets except prunes and
cloverseed has beea produced at very
narrow margin Of profit if not at an
actual loss to the farmers. Agriculture
in the Willamette valley has advanced
as far as it possibly can under present
conditions OF labor and markets.
So long as these conditions remain as
they are, any increase of farm pro.
duets would also proportionately in.
crease the loss to the producers.
Why saould we grow more hogs, hay,
hops, wheat, oata, apples, loganberrias,
peaches, potatoes, and other vegetables
when these already offered for sale
find sagnGn. and oversuppied
marketl
or course the price to consumers is
held mp. The profits all go to the
business firms that work between the
farmer and consumer. To increase the
output of our farms under present Goa.
di;ioas would only result in making the
farmers poorer and the middlemen
ricner.
Farm mortgages would be increased
and the movement Of farmers to town
would continue cs it now does allcwinp
tena1ts to take taeir place.
This whole cou, ~ agriculturist move

vestment this forty million interest would make the
principal fourteen times large $5600OO0OO. AS a
matter of fact with the water power sold prices private
companies would charge once they owned the water
rights would make the power worth well over one billion
dollars This is why certain generous hearted gentle
men want the water powers of the state, now belonging
to all the people, turned to them for Development
they could sell it back to the people who gave it to them
at prices not at all short of robbery
They trouble lest the general government or the state
government make failure Of handling this power and
arogate to themselves alone the ability to handle it. The
water power should be used but the title should be for
ever in the people, either through the federal or state
government For the people of this state to make these
gentlemen present of billion dollars for other rea
son than that they want it, and for other purpose than
to pay interest the value of the present would be in
deed foolish.
When added this is the water rights Of Washington
