NewsNotes Of EquityEx

F. B. Wood, manager of the live
stock department of the Equity Coop
erative Exchange, of South St. Paul,
left for North Dakota last Wednesday
evening to get in touch with live stock
growers and shippers of that state and
also to look after other business in
terests that he has in his home state.
Many Equity farmers are availing
themselves of the privileges of buying
milk cows, springers and heifers
through their own selling agency and
thus get them for just what producers
receive, plus reasonable commission
and actual expense. This is as it
should be and as it will be in the fu-
ture when the farmers find out the adj
vantages of trading through an insti-
tuition which they own and control.
F. B. Wood. manager of the live
stock department Of the Equity Co.
Operative Exchange at South St. Paul,
has discovered that there will be
profit on the first 80 days business.
1t is very unusual for any firm to go
into the live stock commission bust
ness and make any profit before the
end of the first year, and with one ex-
ception the writer does not think that
that this has ever happened on the
South st. Paul market before. This
remarkable showing on the part of the
only selling agency at South St. Paul
that is owned and controlled by farm
ers and divides it's dividends among
the farmers is good indication of
what the farmers can do if they will

Of their farm products comparatively.
Some of the shipments Of cattle
coming to the South St. Paul market
are, to say the least, no credit to the
community shipping them. This
could all be avoided by the purchase
of better bulls, either by the farmers
themselves, their local unions or COM
munity breeding associations, and
now that the farmers have a selling
agency on the market that is owned
and controlled by themselves there is
no reason why they cannot get the
very best bulls at very reasonable
price. There are farmers and neigh
borhoods enough who are in need of
quality and especially that is eligible

neighborhood needing it, rather than

/ w. w. Harrah, of Pendleton, Ore,
was a pleasant caller at the St. Paul
Office last Monday. Mr.. Harrah is in
terested in changing the handling of
grain on the Pacific coast from the old
fashioned sacked method to the bulk
method At the present time the farm
ers there are being charged seven
cents per bushel for sacks. This is a
great expense and after the grain is
once sacked it has to be handled by
hand which is another great EXPENSE.
At Pendleton the farmers are build
ing an elevator with capacity of $780,
bushels, to handle bulk grain and in
other localities the propaganda has
started and 1t is only a question of
time until the farmers of the coast will
be handling their grain in bulk as they
have been east of the mountains ever
since they began to raise grain. Mr..
Harrah was also looking up a market
for bulk grain and naturally came to
st. Paul, the headquarters for all
farmers organizations dealing in grain
and grain products.
Chas. J. Brand, chief of the U. S. de.
partment of agriculture Office of mar
kets and rural organizations, has been
invited to address the national conven-
ton Of Equity Grain and Livestock
growers to be held in St. Paul Dec. 5,
6 and Z. Other speakers of national
reputation will be invited and the pro-
gram will be great treat to every
farmer attending this gathering.
Paul Nygard, of Rawson, was on the
South st. Paul market last Monday
with q, carload Of cattle consigned to
the Farmers Own Selling Agency, The
Equity Cooperative Exchange and
with part of this load he topped the
market for grass fed steers receiving
for them eight cents per pound. Mr..
Nygard was we'll pleased with his re-
turns and when he left said that never
again would he ship anything to any
other selling agency than the one that
is owned and controlled by farmers

ELECTION RESULTS
IN BARNES COUNTY

The election results in Barnes coun.
ty show that the republican ticket las
carried on everything except presi.
dent. This is close and will not be de-
cided until all the precincts are in.
For superintendent of schools Minnie
J. Nelson will have a majority of over
1000. For the other county offices
there was no opposition. Frank Ploy-
har will be senator, and Burl Carr will
be the representative from the 18th
legislative district. Noltimier will
represent the 38th district.
For commissioners Frank Heimes
was reelected, and the contest be-
tween R. B. Cox and George Rasmus-
son was so close as to be undecided
until all precincts are accounted for.
The official abstract by the county
auditor will be published in this paper
as soon as furnished.

HERE is something for the farmers
Of Garrett county to think over. These
are indisputable, undeniable facts, and
prove beyond doubt and contradiction
that the Democratic party is not to be
trusted with the government of this
country.
In the ten months period under the
Democratic law and before the out
break of the war the total imports of
meat and dairy products increased $685.
900, 900 or more than 200 per cent, This
particular knock which the Democratic
party aimed against American industry
fell most severely on our agricultural
population, upon which we depend for
the largest measure of our prosperity.
During seven months period under
the Underwood law, and before the
war broke out in Europe, our imports
of woolens amounted to more than $40
900, 900 as compared with less than So
900, 600 in corresponding period under
the Republican tariff rates. Here was
an increase of 500. 100000 in seven
months period, an increase of 225 per
cent. AS knocker of the American
wooden industry and as a booster for
the foreigner the Democratic party is
entitled to first prize. In an eight
months period the Democratic tariff
law brought US an increase of 100 per
cent in the imports of manufactured
wool. In order to satisfy those econo-
mic theorists who believe in tariff for
revenue only we sent out of this coun-
try more than $26. 900, 900 for increased
purchases of wool from Australia. South
Africa, Argentina and other countries.
Again the American farmer received a
particularly hard knock from the Dem
ocrstic party.
Again the benevolence of the Demo-
cracy to foreign producers is seen in the
imports of breadstuffs in a ten months
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1916-01-20

THE assertion has frequently been
made by the President, and echoed by
the Democratic press, that the tariff
is the only issue the Republicans will
have in this campaign. Undoubtedly
Mr.. Wilson's wish is father to the
thought. He would like to have the
Republicans forget Democratic ex-
travagance, Democratic inefficiency,
broken Democratic pledges, Demo-
cratic overthrow of the merit system
in the government service, Democratic
Encouragement of foreign affairs.
Democratic vacillation on every issue
aud subject before the American peo-
pie. But it happens that no man or
group of men can define the issues of
1916. The people want a free and full
discussion of all important problems of
government, and they particularly
want to know why excessive direct
taxes have become necessary at time
when the Democrats tell US we are en-
joying the greatest prosperity in our
history.

SENATOR zIHL MANS BALLOT BILLS

Senator Zihlman, of Allegany, Re-
publican floor leader in the Upper
House of the legislature, served notice
recently, practically at the beginning
of the session. that he will shortly in
troduce two bills proposing important
reforms in the election laws of the
State. He proposes, in the first place,
to remove the absurd restrictions upon
the requirement of the franchise privi-
lege by new citizens of MARYLAND who
have come hither from other States,
and in the second to bring about uni
formity IN the form, the publication.
the marking and the counting of ballots
in the several counties.
The need of both changes is manifest
20 anyone who is familiar with existing
laws and conditions. That a new resi-
dent of Maryland should have to wait a
year, not after establishing himself
permanently in the State, but after
discovering that he must declare his in
tention of becoming a resident, in order
to take part in the government of the
commonwealth to which he has become
a party, is but one of the mauy alb
surdities of our election and franchise
system. The fact that some counties
prohibit advance publication of the
official ballot and others so circumscribe
the publication of such information for
the voter that ii is practically worthless
to him, represents survival of Know
Nothingism, throw back to the era
when our voters were practically driven
blind folded and in droves, to the polling
places, and under the figurative lash
and sometimes the literal fist-of the
heller, voted as they had been told to
vote by the interested pillars of machine
politics in its worst phase.
Mr.. Zihlman's bills should provide an
excellent test of the real temper of the
majority at Annapolis this winter. AL
though fathered by the Senate leader
of the minority, they will represent a
reform which every honest citizen of
Maryland sincerely believes should be
brought about. If the old order has
really changed and our representatives
in Annapolis are anxious to revive both
the good name and the credit of the
State. financially and politically, they
could in no wise more concluslvely prove
it than by passing these bills. -Balti-

period, which increased from s13, OOO,-
900 to $35, 200. 900. an increase of $22, =
100000 or at the rate of $4,000, 900 per
month. This was an increase of more
than $50 per cent. Once more the
Democrats found opportunity to bring
their hammer down upon the heads of
American farmers. Almost every other
industry in the United States except
perhaps one or two that are confined
particularly to states that are Demo
cratic, received similar knocks from
Democratic legislation. The American
voter will not forget however, that his
Injuries were wrought deliberately by
Democratic statesmen and 1t was
through no effort or intention on their
part that their destructive influences
were halted.

Mr.. Forgan, the noted financier OF
Chicago, said in an address last week
1.-THE country is far more in danger OF
going too fast than going too slow dur.
ing the coming II months. For that
reason am not shouting prosperity,
but am convinced that the old primer.
pies of sober, careful and conservative
business. are the ones to be preached tc
the American people today" In this
warning appears the good old doctrine
of simple living; and also the profound.
er idea that all business has a mora
basis, and that he who strives to make
himself rich without bestowing upor
the people corresponding benefit will
hurt himself and the people, too.
