'--'.: •':-""fL **"--'•!V. The slick, strong-armed Grafter sneeringly term? the Farmer an easy mark, and the Farmer is a prey tola horde,of this class of gentry ^hey come in every guise-slick, smooth arid polished. Their voices are softly mod ulated, and they concoct aistory tnit is alluring in 'the' extreme, bringing to the Fanner visions of easy wealth and opulence. Many are tempted and fall and thus have been lost {o the Farmers in years gone by hund reds of millions of dollara, of whicn h© never had the opportunity 6t chance to regain a single penny/ It is passing strange that our Farmers, will be bit repeatedly by this class of para sites, but they are slowly learning their lesson and it is becoming a harder and harder game for the above mention gentlemen to play upon the unwary. If our Co-operative organizations have a mission, one of more import ance than another, it is to protect our membership against this evil, and our papers and periodicals should take infinite, pains to expose these finely concoqted schemes, and puace (our membership on guard. There is another reason, too, aside from protecting the Farmer against loss, which is of great importance), and that is: The time has come when, if the Farmer is to be freed from busi ness conditions which hamper and trammel his progress, and prevent him from securing a just profit on his products, and just compensation tot his labor, he must own and control his own Marketing Facilities as well as the financial institutions necessary to finance^ his business and his mark eting enterprises. It is a fact that our Farmfjs are investing annually millions ii dollars in enterprises some of which are absolutely worths less, and Jvexx. those that have good value are in the hands of business interests naturally opposed to the Farmers engaging in business for himself.] Thus the capital of theof Farmer'invested in such enterprises' falls inte the hands of those who seek to control the marketing of his prof ducts and reap to themselves the pro fit not only of the Farmer's invest ment, but the profit which the Farmer himself is entitled to from the pro ducts of his labor. 1st. it any wonder then, that the speculator and the pro fiteer live in luxury, while the Farmer toils on to supply him with still more luxury? There certainly is a remedy for these evils and this remedy lies with the Farmer himself. If he will refuse to accept these highly colored schemes that are set as snares with which to capture the reward of his labor if he will refuse to invest his savings in enterprises foreign to his own welfare, and conserve the money to his own uses and when desiring to invest his savings, invest them in in dustrial and financial enterprises own ed and controlled by Farmers them selves, he will very quickly remedy this evil and reap the full reward of his toil and savings. A very strong illustration of the above facts has recently been brought out by some of the "Blue Sky" State Officials. Referring to the Annual Re port of the State Securities Commis sion to the Governor of the State of South Dakota, we find the following quotations. In this report they say: "A careful examination has been made of all annual statements filed with this Commission pursuant to the provisions of the Blue Sky law. While making the above mentioned examination, we have made occasion to compile some of the figures and draw some conclusions from the records of the office. Such figures and conclusions may be briefly stated as follows: "1st. There were one hundred six companies which made and filed annual statements covering the year 1917. They reported a total outstanding capital of $49,989,435.00. The total gain reported for the one hundred six companies was $905,512.00 or an average of one and eight-tenths on the entire capital out standing." The above statement must Indicate not only to the investing Farmer, but to the investing public as well, that their opportunties for investment in the average scheme have a very small chance of returns that would warrant such investment, as we see by this statement that only an average of one and eight-tenths per cent of gain is re corded, and further, this sum total of gain may not mean cash dividends re turned. The report further states: "2nd. We found that there were thirty-eight reporting domestic co-op erative companies engaged in the oper ation of stores, elevators, and cream eries. These companies had a total out standing capital of $281,810.00 and the total gain of all such companies was the sum of $110,310.00 or an average of THIRTY-NINE PER CENT on the out standing capital." This statement is astounding, and should be an eyebpener for the Farmer as to where he can profitably- invest his savings, as we see from the first state ment that all the one hundred six com panies reporting to the Commission made a gain of only one and eight-tenths per cent! Now it must be remembered that these thirty-eight Co-operative Companies, referred to in the second statement were included In the above one hundred and six companies, but these Thirty-eight Co-operative firms made the net gain' of ZThfiSy-nine Per Cent. They were FARMER OWNED AND FARMER CONTROLLED. The thought must arise at this point: If these Thirty-eight Farmer-Owned Co operative Companies' made "Thirty-nine Per Cent on their investment, while the whole one hundred and six companies made only One and eight-tenths per cent, then certainly the remainder of the One hundred and six companies could nave mad* scarcely any profit at all. The report states still further of the Thirty-eight. "There were twelve miscellaneous companies with a total, capital issue of $21,059,256.00 which showed gains. The total of these gains for the twelve com- PE-RU^tA It throughout the country a?*u *yj to go Into all kinds ofbadly heated stores and build ings, sometimes standing up for hours at a time whHe plying my trade as auctioneer, it is only natural that .1 fcajl cold* fre «nentlyt so •when this would occur I paid Httle attention to it, until December when I con tracted & severe case which, through neglect on my Dart settled cm my lung*, When «1 •weti»ooSla«y.I Jactoriag.

Under this head it sftcfuld-be mentioned that we include the? report ^f one Of the largest light an* power companies in America. This company has an outstanding capital of StMgg^AO.OO, and paid a dividend of $691,963.00. Thus it will be understood that, the" other eleven companies were iiorhparatively small and the gains nom inal.!! "From the'foregoing Quotation, we see that-the only great, corporation, the light and'*,, powerl', company, was practically the ohiy one that made material gains. In all of the other cases, the gains were aoT nominal as to be unworthy of cori sideration. The report states stili fur ther:": "Jih. There are sixteen oil and min ing: companies upon our records show inf, a total outstanding capital of $7, 5.35^618.00. Not one of these companies shows a gain and no facts are submit ted1 which indicate any great progress in the way of exploration." :. What Becomes of Hugh Capital? The/ above statement is one that should attract the attention of the in vesting public in no uncertain way. Think of it! In the State of South Da kota where sixteen oil and mining com panies report to the Securities Commis sion, representing from the reports in that^one state alone the immense sum of 17,535,618.00, Investments undoubt edly taken from the savings of the peo ple—NOT ONE SINGLE COMPANY is able to report a particle of gain, not any progress worth mentioning. Then, what becomes of the Seven Millions of Dol lars which the people invested in these institutions? This is an indictment against this class of business that should be a warning never to be for gotten. But the report continues: "5th. It appears that there are forty miscellaneous companies with a capital issue totaling $21,112,761.00, which re port not gains and in many instances losses are shown. In fact, there are ten among" the forty companies with an outstanding capital of $7,677,130.00 which show a total loss of $226,484.00. This item' should be deducted from the gains shown in paragraph one, thus material ly reducing the total average gains for all companies." Co-operation Pays. The report from the Commission, in commenting upon the above statement, says very tersely: "From the foregoing figures, several conclusions may be drawn. It is amp ly shown that the small co-operative companies of the state are being con ducted on a profitable basis. This is especially true of the elevator compan ies. The reports show that each ele vator is using from $20,000 to $50,000 borrowed money obtained from banks and commission companies. Notwith standing the payment of considerable sums for interest, the business is high ly- profitable." This leads to the suggestion that much more capital could be employed in these elevator companies, thus reduc ing the necessity for so much borrowed money, and saving large sums now being paid for interest. Commenting further on this report, the writer says: Safer Investment at Home. "The Commission has a right to feel a pride in the success of the co-opera tive companies. It means that the South Dakota people have the ABILI TY TO CO-OPERATE and make the best use of their combined capital and credit. The fact also proves that the farmer should realize that he canfinda FAR SAFER AND MORE REMUNERA TIVE INVESTMENT AT HIS OWN DOOR, and one that is very much bet ter than the average stock proposition offered by other corporations." Brother Farmer, when reading and analyzing the quotations from the Se curities Commission above, it must be realized that our Blue Sky laws have not been inaugurated in vain. The above statements are strong in the extreme, and must command the most earnest consideration of every co-op erative Farmer who desires to better his own condition. It is not hard to realize that if these tremendous sums of money which are annually being wasted can be turned into Co-operative Companies, Farmer-Owned and Farmer Controled, it will not be long until the Farmer will have suftlcient funds to finance himself The Farmers' Society of Equity one of our greatest Farmer organizations, heartily commends the report of the South Dakota Commission, and believes that the thanks—not only of South Da kota constituents, but of every Co-oper ative Farmer in America—is due to that body of men who have so diligently striven to show plainly and concisely how the people have been ruthlessly robbed and who show also, and recom mend, measures that can easily remedy the evil. There are many co-operative industrial institutions which our lead ers are earnestly striving to promote, that sadly need the savings and funds which our Farmers have for investment. The above report shows conclusively that if these savings are-Invested in our Farmer-owned institutions, they will bring solid returns, and at the same time every dollar will be working night and day to increase the prices of the farm- products and bring to our Farmers Justice and Equity on the returns for their labor.
