charging conspiracy and one charg-

T0WNSMEN And
FARMERS MUST
!, COMPROMISE
DR.. Gillette: SAYS Beth Sides
Have Interest In Promot-
ing Local Industries

Pittsburgh, Dec. 29,--7By Associat-
ed Press.)-Townspeople and farmers
must put themselves in an attitude of
making concessions or as an alterna-
tive, cooperative stores established by
combinations of farmers will ultl-
mately drive local merchants out Of
the business, John NJ. Gillette, of the
University of North Dakota told the
members of the american Sociological.
Society at its annual meeting here to-
day.
That organizations of farmers has
intensified the strife between city and
country is generally recognized by
students of the subject" continued
Dr.. Gillette. Too often the blame is
attached exclusively to the farmers as
if they have no rights of selfprotec-
tion. 1t is not always perceived that
the business elements Of cities have
been organized as a profit-getting
class for a long time and that the ten
dency If for all these elements to pre-
sent united front when ameliorativc
agricultural legislation is proposed or
when farmers dttempt cooperative
enterprises
>"If the farmers are right in their
contentious that they received an un-
duly small proportion Of the proceeds
from their produce, then they have
right to organize both economically
and politically to protect their inter-
ests. But be it remembered that their
cooperative efforts evoke about as
much hostility as do their political at
tempts.
There are many directions for far
mers and townsmen to take in their
teamwork together. Good roads are
mutually desirable. Both sides have
a common interest in promoting Local
industries. They make nearby mar
kets for certain kinds of farm produce
and serve as the basis of diversified
| farming.
| Since it is chiefly over matters OF
trade that country and town are ar
rayed against each other, the ques-
ton arises as to how they can. COM
pose LlelT u1UeIcLCcS. r l. hC AOSoA AACi
i chant insists that farmers and other
consumers should patronize home in
dustries and grow quite bitter over
buying from mail order houses. The
| farmer, in turn, insists that local
prices of the things he buys are toe
high and for things he sells, too low
/ "If both sides will be sensible ant
fair, there is basis OF compromise
but townsmen and farmers must pu
themselves in the attitude of making
concessions. The farmers should no
be expected to sacrifice all Of thei1
gains from buying from mail orde'
houses, for example,: nor should the,
expect small merchants to meet tn
prices of such huge and efficient es
adjustments. The merchant shoul'
be willing to cut prices and farmer
to pay margin fir local convenience.
4 The alternative would appear t
!; be the development of co-operativ
stores bv farmers tina: will ultimately
drive local merchants out of busines.
The latter would become managers Q
, and statesmen in such undertaking:
t This would remove the reason 10
strife"

Wool Growers
Extend Territory

EnIarging their field Of activity
to include Washington, Idaho and
California, directors OF the Wool
Growers association met the local
representatives Of the Oregon
Wool and Mohair Growers Cooper
ative association at MacIeay, Sat
urday. The advantages Of the ex-
tension of the field of activity of
the wool association are the re-
duction in overhead expense since
five or six million pounds Of wool
can be handled much cheaper per
pound than in smaller quantities,
and the resulting lessening of
competition in selling to large buy
ers.
A report Of the associations af-
fairs was given by @. H. Thompson
who stated that the organization
was In excellent shape. The board
of directors also passed resolu-
tion commencing r. A. Wood, gem
eral manager for the excellent
work he has done in handling the
business OF the association.
