Maxwell, the great pro moter of irrigation, recently deliv ered an address before the Farm ers’ and Grain Dealers’ Associa tion of Illinois, from which the following extracts are taken: I am a profound believer in the capacity of the human race to work out the high destiny of which it is capable if its genius is rightly directed. I am a most ex treme optimist in my expectations of what the people of this nation will eventually accomplish in se curing in fact as well as in theory not only equal rights, but equal opportunity for all men and the achievement by all our people of the highest average standard of life of which all are capable and which can be brought within the reach of all. Unless this is accomplished our boasted civilization will be but a wave on the great ocean of time, rising into a brief existence, only to be submerged, as all the civil izations that have gone before us have been submerged, beneath the rottenness and corruption which has followed inevitably in the wake of vast accumulation of wealth, and the gradual absorp tion of the land into great estates. I am not proposing socialism, as its devotees understand it, or as it is usually defined and understood, as a remedy. I am proposing the exact oppo site of it. I am proposing the very highest form of individual rights, oppor tunity, activity and development. Socialism is to dream about doing things, and to begin at the wrong end and fall. Co-operation is to do things, and to begin at the right end and succeed. Co-operation is evolution—not revolution. Evolution is the law of God. Evolution is the natural law which has controlled the creation of the earth and all that there is on it. It is the law of the develop ment of the human race, and we need only to learn its lessons and study it as a method for the solu tion of every social problem to save the people of this nation from the social and political dangers that confront them to-day. The delusion that you can pro tect producers from such oppres sions by making laws or by elect ing this man or that man to office or putting this political party or that political party in power, is a delusion which has long been maintained by a multitude of people. But it is only a question of time when those w ho are misguided by this delusion will awaken from their dream, and learn that there is no help for them, but to help themselves and do things for themselves. And it is in the awakening and training of a giant—a symbolical embodiment of the abilities and energies of the people themselves, which is the hope of this nation for the future. You cannot oppress a man who draws the reward of his toil straight from nature’s treasure vaults—gets it from the land itself —land which he owns—land on which no money lender holds a mortgage—provided, always, that that man has learned to co-oper ate with his fellow men of the same class, to do for themselves the things which it is beyond the power of the individual man to do for himself—the things which require the combined and co-op erative effort of many men to ac complish. The solution is that wherever the thing to be done for the ben efit of such a cmmunity requires the effort of more than one man, that those who require to have the thing done for them, what ever it may be, shall combine to gether and do it for themselves, provided it is within reach of the united and co-operative energy and capital of the aggregated number of individuals who re quire to have the thing done for them. In this category are creameries, laundries, rural telephones, as sociations for the co-operative pur chase of supplies, associations for the sale or disposition of the pro ducts of the soil, and many other associations which I might men tion for mutual economy, mutual benefit or mutual protection. In sections where irrigation is necessary, co-operative canal sys tems and irrigation works come within this category; and in many parts of the country where irrigation is not now generally supposed to be necessary, co-oper ative pumping plants might be es tablished among farmers for the irrigation of lands which they could in that way cultivate more intensively, and obtain a much larger yield and profit per acre You might as well try to op erate machinery without oil as to try and conduct a business without adver tising. Printert' Ink. than by dry farming. I believe that eventually the public ownership of all public utilities is inevitable in this country; but I am not a believer in the theory that we are ready to-day for municipal ownership in all our cities or for the govern ment ownership of all our rail roads. Man is the product of his en vironment. Man will be what he is trained to be. And co-operation will train men to be honest with each other and with the public, because honesty and integrity in the discharge of obligations to one’s fellow men is in the corner stone of co-operation. Without it co-operation is a house'built upon the sands. With such integrity, co-opertion is a house built upon the eternal rocks as a foundation. And so it is that your movement for the formation of farmers’ ele vators, in order that you may transact for yourself the business of selling your own soil products, is but a single thread in the great cable of co-operation which will finally warp our ship of state off the rocks, and draw it to a safe anchorage. The profits that you will make for yourself in the formation of these co-operative associations, and their management, is the least of the reasons which should impel you onward in the movement. It is another law of nature that strength comes from strenuous struggle. The strong arm is the arm that is used. The strong mind is the mind that thinks. The strong man is the man who has developed every fibre of his physical vigor by use. The strong races of the earth are those which have survived oppression and overcome great obstacles in their development. Be not discouraged by any con dition that may confront you. Be not discouraged even by temporary failure. It is the his tory of all movements that failure must at times be a part of their record. But as the wise saying has it: “Failures are but the pillars of success.” What others have done, you can do. If you want successful illustrations of co-operation among producers, go to California and study the workings of the associa tions which have been formed there among the fruit growers for the marketing of their product. And the road to their success was paved with many failures. At first it seemed as though there were more failures than successes. But they persevered. They were forced to swim or drown. They had to learn to market their own products or have their in dustries destroyed. And they learned. And so will you learn, if you will persevere and be loyal to 1 your fellows and to your move I ment. If you want other illustrations of successful co-operation, go among the co-operative creameries of Wisconsin or Michigan, or go among the co-operative canal com panies of California or Colorado or Montana. If you want instances of gigan tic success in co-operation, go to England, to Ireland and to Bel gium and to Denmark and find it there. BEAL ESTATE! Bargains in Ranch and Town Property. E. H.
