ITS CAUSE AND REMEDY 19 



Following is a letter received from the 

 late Honorable Judge T. G. Hailey: 



State of Oregon Supreme Court, 

 Salem, August 31st, 1906. 



Mr. Thos. Withycombe, 

 Room 8, Hamilton Bldg., 

 Portland, Oregon. 



Dear Mr. Withycombe : 



Enclosed herewith I return your article 

 in behalf of the wheat grower, which I have 

 read with interest and which contains much 

 of value, but I can hardly agree with you 

 upon your remedy for farmers' ills.. I think 

 there are other means by which the farmer 

 can receive benefits than giving him a 

 bounty from the government The publica- 

 tion, however, of your article would doubt- 

 less awaken the interest of many people 

 who have not thought of the matter, and it 

 is only by litigation of such matters that 

 good results can be obtained, and I think it 

 would be well for you to give the matter 

 some publicity as it might result in good to 

 the farmer and good to the farmer means 

 good to everybody * * * 



Yours truly, 



T. J. Hailey.
