White Of the division Of markets,
Maine Department Of Agriculture.
Mr.. White Resigns from Committee
The committee received a propo-
sition from the Charles M. Cox Com
pany Of Boston. which was reported
upon favorably to the Exchange by
majority of the committee, but
previous to yesterdays meeting Mr..
White resigned from the committee
for the reasons which he stated in
person at the meeting. briefly point
ing out why the Department of Ag-
riculture could not be identified with
such a deal.
Mr.. Whites statement was as fol-
lows:
First: The vote bf instruction
passed at the August Sth meeting
specifically instructed the committee
to confer with and arrange with the
proper officials OF the Eastern States
Farmers Exchange for an amalga-
nation OF the two organizations,
ETC." The part of the vote relating
to "other firms or individuals" was
an after-thought, and as such should
have been made to carry out the in
structions given in the frs part of
, the motion.
1T is a fact that Mr.. Selby labored
under a misunderstanding when first
called in conference, but there was
nothing in this situation which
might not have been easily and
quickly removed by a frank and
open explanation from both sides.
Notwithstanding this unfortunate Sit
| uation, the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange has submitted a PROPOSE
ton which should at least receive
~ ctd q Ia
of fact only a brief explanation was
given of it.
Second: The proposition as SUBJ
mitted to you today by private cor
poration is fair and just when con-
sidered from the viewpoint of a
| strict. close corporation. However,
the principles of cooperation are to
all practical purposes lost sight of.
Third: 1t is only fair to assume
that every member of the farm or
CARNATIONS holding the common
. stock Of the Maine Farmers Elk
, change expect the Exchange to meet
all obligations honorably. The same
stockholders may reasonably expect
the executive officers of the Ex-
change to diligently protect their in
| brief examination of the proposition
| submitter reveals, no definite provi-
| sion is made for the protection of
| the common stock.
Fourth: Viewing life and events
as they happen it is hard to believe
| that they bear any resemblance to
! what has happened in the past.
| Reading history for long period
/ we are forced to the conviction that
! history repeats itself. With this in
mind the common stockholders will
| do well to guard against an immedi-
ate repetition of conditions existing
less than q decade ago when it was
| practically impossible for local CO.
| operative to enter the wholesale
market on fair terms. 1t has even
been common report that some large
! interests proposed a fund for elimi-
mating local cooperative buying
| groups.
! while these four points appeared
| so clearly in the proposition submit
ted it was impossible to sign a re-
, port supporting them, and a resig-
, nation from the committee was nee
