Jan. -?7.—A proposal that | the word mers” be dvopped from the title of the Farmers’ Equity Union and the society expand into an asso- ciation of consumers generally, mark+ ed the annual address of C..0, Dray- ton, of Greenville, Ill., president of the organization, at his opening of the union’s tenth convention here tonight. “We are going direct to consumers with our finished products,” said Pres- ident Drayton, “so that their will be lower a fair, We want the consumers in the city to join ‘Equity Union’ and help us to capitalize and contro) the chan- nel from our farms to their.kitchens. “There are too many profiteers and grafters between producers and con- sumers. They stand together and hold prices doww on producers and up to consumers. Give us an Equity Union of wealth makers who control the channel from farm to city home, with- out any profit to greedy profiteers, and we will have more home owners and builders in city and country. “The present business system is wrong and must be changed for the people and by the people. This will come through Equity Union organiza- tion, education and co-operation.” President Drayton reported that the organization had grown in ten years to 542 chartered units in Texas, Ok homa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colo South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Each of these units he said, is cap- italized at from ten to one hundred thousand dollars and owns a grain ele- vator, a warehouse and a coal yard. He added that many own a lumber yard also and that the national or- ganization owns a coal mine in Colo- rado, controls seats on the Kansas City and Buffalo boards of trade and oper- ate creameries at Aberdeen, S. D. Orleans, Neb. and Limon, Colo. He offered a summary of the busi- ness done by twenty-three of the lead- | ing units of the organization in the year ending June 30, 1920, showing net profits of $454,579.82 on sales of §9,- 214,287.78. Mr. Drayton said that central buy- ing agencies had been installed at Denver, Si. Lo Shicago and Lima. ©. through whose operations whole- sale prices had been reduced to Equity Exchanges on flour, feed, coal, lumber. salt, cement, twine and farm machin- ery. He described the profit sharing system of the organization. adding: “The profits go to the many W ho fur- nish the business rather than to the few who furnish the dollars.” What does the word convey to you?
