Oranges Laud
Cooperative
Movement

Benton County Pomona Grange
met with the Finley subordinate
Grange Saturday of last week with
a good attendance. Most of the Of
ficers were present which always
helps to hold the interest at these
meetings.
Reports from the various
Oranges show that on the whole
the Oranges have been active dur
ing the summer months.
Gilbert Clodfelter reporting fol
Locust Grove reported upon their
activities for the construction Of a
new Grange hall and the general
good interest and attendance dur
ing the summer months.
Percy Sellick, reporting for Fin
ley reported good attendance and
successful candidate in the Queen
contest held for the benefit of the
Kennewick Fair association.
Mrs. Swayze, reporting for Ken
newick Valley, reported very good
interest and considerable attend
ance during the summer, which has
enabled them to put water in the
hall.
Practically all Oranges reported
activities on the Power bill as well
as general activities toward de-
velopment of more interest in the
Grange in the community through
various activities. Pomona Grange
voted to donate twenty-five dol
lars toward the district Power Bill
fund.
The question of continuation of
the Kingley Memorial fund and
it's use eventually for the purpose
of benefiting a farm to be used
for an old Changers home, was
brought ND through correspond
ence from Oranges in Kitsap
county. After some little discus
sion it was moved that the matter
be laid upon the table to DE brot
up for discussion from time to
time before the next State Grange
meeting.
The question of cooperative or
ganization and the general coop
erative movement was brot up be-
fore the meeting by Master Roger.
Several ideas appeared in the
Grange Facts" which has been
given rsther large circulation over
the statex was the occasion for re-
marks by Mr.. Roger, as statements
u this publication were rather de-
picting this cooperative. movement
as supported Dy Oranges. Mr.. Roy
er pointed out that since the o.
tsblish4g of the Feed Mill by che
Washington Cooperative Egg and
Poultry association in Yakima on'y
few months back, that feed sales
had doubled; and he POINTED out
that farmers were getting bet
ter quality of feed through this
source than had usually been pos
sible previous to this time. Other
members present also stressed the
fact that Oranges were able to
benefit themselves considerably
here in the county through organ
ization to various commodities by
8
group action. The question of gas
contracts was brot up and the Po-
mona secretary instructed to con-
tinue his Investigations along this
line with the idea of extending the
that some Oranges now
have in gasoline contracts.
The lecturers hour program was
under the direction of Mrs. C. Pu-
derbaugh.

Our shoe factories have capacity of at
least 500 in excess of the requirement of
our domestic market and export trade. We
can produce all the shoes we use
Therefore, American Manufacturers, 1900
of them, are engaged in the keenest compe-
tition among themselves, even with no duty.
With duty, the same intense competition
and the same low prices will persist. A duty
will do no more than shut out some i'm.
ported shoes or will place the foreign ar
ticle on basis where it costs the American
retailer more nearly what he must pay the
American manufacturer. :
H2i3rds ofthe shoes nowimported should
be manufactured here, it would mean addi-
tional wages in the pockets of American
shoe operatives amounting approximately
to $2,8OO,OOO without adding to the shoe
bill of the consumer. The additional pur-
chasing power of shoe operatives, to say
nothing of tanners and manufacturers of
shoe supplies, would help other industries.

HIDES

United States must import about 30% of
the hides they consume and about 4O% of
the calfslzinS. There are not enough cattle
or calves in the United States to produce all
the hides we use.
Therefore, the price of imported hides
determines the price of domestic hides, and
duty on hides will be reflected in the price
of all hides consumed in the United States
A duty on hides will mean an increase of
millions of dollars in the cost of shoes, sad
dies, harnesses, trunks, suit cases, and other
leather products.
Hides are by-product of the cattle In
dustry. The value of hide is only about
L 18th the value of steer. Cattle are raised
foe beef and our per capita consumption of
beef and the number of beef cattle are stead
lily declining. No claim is made that duty
on hides will result in the raising of a greater
number of cattle, or the employment of
additional farm laborerS.
