BENEFITS OF COOPERATION

Willard R. Meyers, editor of the
American Cooperative Journal, in
an address before the National Con-
ference on Marketing and Farm
Credits, reviewed the successes and
failures of various attempts at agri-
cultural cooperation. Speaking Of
the Grange, the Farmers Alliance,
the Cleaners, the American Society
of Equity, the Farm ers Grain Ele-
yator movement and the California
Fruit Growers Exchange, he said, all
had been more or less successful;
when they failed it had been due to
lack of money, lack of proper ideals
and leadership or lack of economic
necessity. He said, in part:
"The Grange store movement
failed because the farmers were poor
business men and could not effect
the saving which they expected to
make. The Grange still exists, but
not as an economic force. The
Grange halls, once devoted to a study
of economies, are now club rooms
and their purpose and intention is
ethic more than economic.
The Alliance lost itself in poll
tics.
The American Society of Equity
started on the theory that the law
of supply ard demand could be con-
trolled by the farmers. They
achieved more or less success in their
effort to control the price of beans,
peanuts and tobacco. Their effort
to control wheat and cotton was a
failure. At one time they claimed
a membership of 100000 farmers
who were holding their wheat for
81 bushel. The crop never went to
81 a bushel because the demand was
not enough to put it there, and the
theory of overcoming the law of sup
ply and demand failed, as it always
must.
Following this failure, the lead
ers fell to fighting among them
selves, SANDER suits were instituted
and the promising society temporar-
lily went to pieces. A few leaders
proceeded, and today the outgrowth
OF these early beginnings is felt in
North Dakota, Wisconsin and Ken
lucky, but the ideals have changed.
They are merchandising grain. live
stock and other products in keeping
with their efforts.

was based upon fight to gain three

PLAYS AND SIGNALS
GIVEN TO BROWN COACH
Dis9runtled Carlisle Coach Alleged
to Have Delivered Information
to Robinson

That Y. NJ. Kelly, coach of the Car
isle Indian school football team dur
ing the past season has delivered to
Coach Robinson of the Brown uni
yersity team, details of the Carlisle
system of playing, which has been of
wonderful aid to the Washington
State College team in winning the
Northwest conference championships
and instructions for meeting aud
blocking the plays, is an allegation
that is contained in a letter received
by Coach VIM. II. Dietz Monday from
an eastern friend. While Coach
Dietz declined to make public the
name of the writer of the letter he
stated that the message came from
a friend at Carlisle, who was we'll in
touch with the football situation
there. 1t is alleged that Kelly, after
completing a disastrous season as
coach of the Carlisle team, took the
action as a means of securing re-
venge for Dietz's prophecy that Kelly
would not make good at the Indian
school. According to the letter the
information was given the Brown
coach Immediately following the
Brown-Carlisle game on Thanks
giving day.
In view of the fact that the Wash
ington State College and Brown
teams clash in a west-versus-east
game in Pasadena, Cali, on January
the information is important to
| Coach Dietz and followers of the
Washington State team. AS a result
of the warning Coach Dietz has start
ed working his men on an entirely
new system of play will develop new
Whether or not the team can change
/ its style of play at such late date
is problematical, but the coach has
declared that he intends to have the
men working on formations and
plays for which the Brown team can
not be adequately prepared by the
warning given them.
Following rest of more than 10
days following the Gonzaga game on
! Thanksgiving day, the football men
were called out for practice again
on Monday and the long grind OF
preparation for the New Years bat
tie was started. At the present time
the men are in better physical condi.
ton than at any other time in the
season and all have entered the prac-
tice for the final and hardest game
of the season. The work up to the
time that the team departs for Pasa.
dena, however, will be exceptionally
strenuous and 1t will be a serious

Parish Wide Special Tax
Editor Waterman:

Editor Waterman:
In reply to various communi-
cations relative to parish wide
special taxes, will say, for the
following reasons | am forced to
believe | am right,
First. there are certain Sec
tons in the United states that
have adopted the county or par
ish wide special tax plan with
more satisfactory results than
with the district or ward plan.
They are now able to run their
schools a more even length of
terms and with better satisfac-
ton to all sections or schools.
Where the plan has been tried is
claimed that under no conditions
would they revert back to the
former plan. | have given con-
siderable thought to this subject
and the more | think of it the
more thoroughly | become con-
WINGED of its virtue. The propo-
sition is nothing more than fare
and just to all concerned. Help
ing as it does to allay that spirit
of seltlshness that the district
tax has a tendency to foster and
create within us a feeling of in
dltference-one section against
another. United efforts are
more powerful, consequently
more effective in their aims and
objects. No man with reason
able mind can but know that
our citizens are suffering more
from lack of cooperation than
any other one cause and the
sooner we become reconciled in
this one opinion and act accord
ingly with fair judgement the
sooner conditions will improve.
Second, under the parish wide
tax system, all tax payers will
share equally in rate of taxation
and derive an equal share of
benefits there from. 1t will like
ly lead to further much needed
cooperation.
Third. No special tax can be
used for purposes other than
that for which it is voted. there
fore, the means accumulated
from a parish wide tax will
necessarily be applied to the sew
eral schools in a proportionate
manner with the amount of
funds and number of children
or teachers. Taking into consid-
GRAFTON, qualification and salary
Of the respective teachers, each
child, matters not from what sec
ton, will reap an equal benefit
from the special funds derived
from both residence and non
residence and place the burden
Of taxation the same on all prop
srty owners within the limits of
he parish, thus avoiding the un-
fair practice of different rates of
taxation throughout the differ
