A. w. Walker
For Sheriff

A. w. Walker will try again for
the nomination for sheriff on the re-
publican ticket. He tried it two years
ago and made a very creditable show
ing. He has lived twelve years in
Jackson county and until the sheriff
bee stung him two years ago has
never been a candidate for office. If
he proves as lively as candidate as
he is as an automobile salesman he
will stand a good chance.

The Spirit OF
Cooperation

Note: The following is an excerpt
from an address delivered by Presi-
dent John H. Dill before the Ashland
Fruit Association last Saturday, and
is worthy of careful reading and con-
sideration by Ashland citizens:
The Rogue River valley is on the
threshold of greater development.
The coming of the beet factory to
Grants Pass, the active part that Med
ford and vicinity are taking in this
enterprise, Talents forty-seven-ton
yield, and Burbank's thirty per cent
sugar test, together with the activity
which Medford is taking in the irri-
cation development, bespeak the 0p-
perfume time for the growers of the
valley to get together in a spirit OF
cooperation.
In 1915 the farmers of the United
States raised ten-bi' lion-dollar crop.
AS a result the banks increased their
resources one and three-quarter bill
lion. their deposits two billion, and
in addition the United States was able
to absorb about two billion of the five
billion of our securities which are
held by foreign countries.
The growers in this immediate sec
ton have not their full share in this
great increase of wealth. The reason
is based largely on our lack of CO.
operation in growing and marketing
We may profit by following the eX-
ample of the Danish people along CO.
operative lines. They have their CO.
operative creameries, smoke-houses,
societies, buying societies,
and cooperative land savings banks.
In Denmark there are 536 OF these
banks for the purpose of encourag-
ing thrift among the farmers and
money to them at not over
per cent interest. This 4 per cent
not only takes care of the interest
charge, but provides 2 sinking fund
which in time pays the principal also.
These cooperative societies are based
Largely on the principles laid down
by the Roachdale Pioneer Societies of
England and the Raiffeison land
banks of Germany. The Rochdale
Pioneer Societies laid down the fol-
owing rules:
1. Capital should be of their own
and bear a fixed rate of
interest.
2. Only purest provisions obtain
able should be supplied to members.
3. Honest measure should prevail. |
4. Market prices should be charged
md no credit given or asked.
5. Profit should be divided in
to total amount of pur-
hase made by each member.
6. The principle, zone member .
me vote" should obtain.
7. That definite percentage of .
,rofits should be allotted to educa-
ion.
So far rs these rules have been

President Wilson seems to think
that possession of an automobile is
proof of ability to pay additional tax,
but 1t may be evidence merely of SUI
perior ability to borrow money.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1916-03-09

were purely cooperative societies
They began as neighborhood societies
without shares and without capital
simply by organizing with unlimited
liability, but since they have changed
and are now on basis similar to the
Rochdale Pioneer Societies, having
shares and receiving deposits.
In times Of panics it is said that
money is often transferred from city
banks to these land banks because of
their stability.
AS a comparison, the 100000
farmers in the United States pay an
average rate of Interest of S1g per
cent, no part of which is applied on
the principal. But it is expected that
the present congress will pass rural
credit bill establishing land banks in
the United States in order that the
farmers may secure loans at a much
lower rate of interest than now
charged.
Humanity is the same the word
over. What applies to a country ap-
plies to a community. Our country
started out to be the greatest CO.
operative country in the world. Was
it not the spirit of cooperation which
gave to us the Declaration of Inde-
pendence? Was it not lack of Co
operation between the states that
caused Fort Sumter to be fired upon?
The spirit OF cooperation is what
is most needed in our valley. Unless
we first try to help the offending
brother but little good will we accom-
plish by criticism.
When the farmers and refuses to
yield large returns in the way of
crops planted, he is told he should
rotate his crops and build up his
and. Then when conditions are
against him and he has to sell his
products at a price that does not COW
er the cost Of production, he is told
that he has produced an over-produc-
tion, that he should diversity, and
by this means he will increase his re-
turns.
Now when the merchant finds that
he is losing money, not getting re-
turns commensurate with capital in
vested, he says the trouble is there
are too many Montgomery Ward or
Sears Roebuck catalogues, that the
people are not loyal to their home
merchants.
Would it not be just as fair for the |
farmer to say to the merchant, You
had better rotate, there are too many |
merchants. You should diversity, try |
some productive occupation?
So we see that it is just as impor-
tant for the merchant to rotate and
diversity as the farmer.
A good way to end this ordering
from mail houses would be for the
merchants to encourage the farmer |
by buying from and paying him the
same price that they pay for like
products shipped in from other sec
tions, and for the merchant to say to
the farmer, we will furnish you with
the goods that you need at the same
prices paid to the mail order houses;
in other words, we will send and get
these goods cash in hand for a small
per cent to cover cost of handling.
1t seems to the board of the Ash
and Fruit and Produce Association
hat the best way to bring about this
spirit of cooperation and to put it
nto practice is to get the growers to-
5ether in monthly meetings, where
hey may discuss the things that per-
ain to their social and economic vel
are, that the board and manager
nay know their wishes on all ques-
ions relating to the association.
Don't miss the meetings.

COUNTY LEADS <7>
(From Graham Daily Newsl

(from Graham Daily News.)
The fact that Tazewell county farm
ers are right up to the minute was
again forcefully demonstrated in Ora
ham yesterday afternoon when a
Bluestonc farmer came into town
driving, a herd of cattle in a Ford
automobile. Ii had no dogs either.
and when the obstreperous steer
would break the lines, the cattldvman
would whip his machine to the side
back into the road, the same as If
he had been riding horseback or on
foot. This modern farmer got his
shipment to the railroad without a
puncture and his new idea spelled
the very last word in progressivism
and proved beyond doubt that the
Tazewel county grazier leads where
others try to follow.
In the meantime will the author of
the above inform the public how the
farmer managed to get "a her of
cattle in Ford automobile ?"
