Equity and in this way save them
selves the trouble of building up an
organization in Wisconsin. In other
words, they want US to go to all the
expense and trouble of constructing
the foundation, of placing upon it
the superstructure and of doing all
the labor involved in the detail work
of an institution and then calmly
hand the entire structure over to
them.
Equity, if / understand the pre-
sent leaders and the membership, will
refuse to be swallowed up or dubbed
out of existence. 1t will continue it's
benefcient work. If it has made
mistakes, it is competent to correct
those errors. If any of its policies
have been wrong in the past, it is full
ly able to establish new policies which
experience may have found to be
necessary. It will not ask mere ex-
perinentors in cooperative farm
work to come in and correct it's alleg-
ed blunders and at the same time
take the whole organization over. /
think it is necessary to warn the
farmers associated with Equity that
there is on foot well organized and
well financed and resourceful move
ment to put it out of existence"
Mr.. Nimlos calls special attention
to the recent invitation by Charles S.
Barrett, chairman of the National
Board of Farm Organizations to all
the cooperative farm institutions in
the United States, to send delegates
to the convention in st. Louis, Dec
10th. The purpose of this convention
is to establish great national mark
citing institution. This has nothing
to do with politics and it is associated
in no way with any persons political
aspirations.
eff Equity is to be of any use in
assisting in the plan to establish that
much desired national marketing
system, it must continue as an indie
pendent organization, ready to coop
crate with the other great self help
ed movements in the United States,
but it must not surrender its identity
or allow its Aolicies to be dictated by
any other Institution of any kind"
said Mr.. Nimlos.
The great marketing system which
the National Board of Farm organi-
cation is ambitious to create, cannot
be fully successful without the CO.
operation of Equity, / have letter
from Mr.. Barrett in which he says
that only partial success can be
achieved in that line if the American
society of Equity is not identified
with the new movement. 1t cannot and
will not be identified with the new
movement if the plan of the men who
are tying to take possession of it,
proves to be successful, therefore it

WILL REFUSE TO AMALGAMATE

Delegates from many sections OF
the state in which the American Soci-
ETY. of Equity is organized, report
that in their judgment the efforts by
other organizations to induce the
great Wisconsin farm cooperative
institution to amalgamRte or in other
words surrender its identity will
prove futile at the coming convention
Thomas Nimlos, one of the leaders
in the movement to save Equity and
to continue it as a constructive IN
stitution, serving the real interests
of agriculture, has been in communl-
cation during the past week with
hundreds of local readers. The re-
Spouse to his request for information
indicate that when the convention
meets in Milwaukee November 30tn,
the delegates will refuse absolutely
all overtu1es to amalgamate with
other organizations.
Equity for many years has LED the
way in cooperative work. said Mr..
Nimlos. This is especially true OF
the educational character of its cam
paign. 1t has taught farmers how
to help themselves. 1t has shown
them how they might by forming as
sociations among themselves, get
their goods to market without being
unduly oppressed by intermediary
agencies.
"The organization will not now al
ter all these years of effort and ira
vail consent to experiment with other
organizations of limited experience
and questionable purpose.

have been made by the heads OF or

N. n. H., Shepherd street north
west-Kindly furnish me with any
information you may have concern
ing Chandler Motor stock. Do you
consider 1t a safe Investment at Its
present market quotation? What
about the advisability OF buying
motor stocks at the present!
Answer-Ch andler Motor Car Com
pany Is conspicuous with its low capt.
talization compared with the capt.
talization Of many of the other motor
companies, obviously over-capitalized.
Chandler never has any difficulty In
pulling out good earnings and good
dividends. Under it's present capitali-
cation scheme we do not believe that
1t ever will have any difficulty In
doing SO. The company has no funded
debt, carries mighty small bank loans
and inventories, and has stock capt.
taliaztion OF 100000 shares of no par
value, upon which It pays dividends
at the rate Of $3.50 a share every three
months.
In the six months ended June 80.
1890, Chandler earned 1885 share
before Federal taxes. This Is at the
rate of more than SSS year. or more
than three and one-half times the
dividend requirements. The stock
yields 12.6S per cent at present level,
and while, of course, no man outside
of the directorate of the company
itself has any right or reason to say
what dividends will be in the future,
