meet with us and try to work out some plan

avenue explored."

COOPERATIVE MEMBERS 'TUST STICK TOGETHER
It doesn't seem to the writer that this is
asking for too much, in fact it is rather
a modest desire, for when one talks to the
'average American he gets the impression that
anything less than a million dollars is
chicken feed, while many of the ambitious
ones couldn't raise the price of a few share
in Standard Oil or General ’•'otors, he still
dreams and desires a controlling interest
in one of them. This type individual also
thinks that anyone who would settle for any
thing less is a piker, he never stops to con
sider the odds that are against him but
lives in a dream vrorld.
Millions of hard working farmers and labor
ing men, who are interested in the accomp
lishment of tasks well done, and who have
porcine feelings would like to see a modest
stable program accomplished that v/ould in
sure a better country for all. However, all
that we hear is about some grafter that made
millions at the expense of the government
or other individuals by grafting or gambl
ing (now don't get the idea that we think
there are no honest people who have accumul
ated fortunes)and how we should get in on
the graft any way we can. This line is ped
dled by most of the so-called free enter
prises, who really never wanted free enter
prise at all. It is from this type of mind
that the Co-ops must protect themselves or
we will go down into another morass like'29.
If we can get enough people who are willing
to work for the things they desire, who are
thrifty enough to save part of their earn
ings and settle down to a rational life,
then maybe there is some hope. If too many
people try to get rich by buying and selling
to each other and no one is producing enough
to meet the demand for goods, then we may
find ourselves up in the sky for awhile but
in due time we will all come down. CRR
