EDITOR ADDRESSES ~ THAN MENBER A. W. Ricker Says Agricultural Conditions Reflected in All Business Pointing to the bearing that rural prosperity has on all classes of busi- ness, A. W. Ricker, editor of the Farmers Union Herald, told members of the Kiwanis club that agricultural conditions were reflected directly in the economic condition of the entire country. Drops in commodity prices on farm products immediately are felt by transportation companies, middlemen, and many other agencies to the detri- ment of business as a whole, he said. Ricker, who is a former editor of Pearson’s magazine, New York City, is in Bismarck attending the Farm- ers’ Union convention. Carl Ward, president of the Kan- sas Farmers’ Union also spoke. Wal- ter Maddock, former governor of North Dakota, and vice president of the North Dakota Farmers’ Union, fwas a guest. Name Candidates, Alter By-Laws in Convention Here! (Continued on from Page One) that unless immediate relief is pro- vided thousands of farmers will lose their farms and homes. | Point to Memorial The resolutions call attention to a memorial to congress passed by the recent state legislature. The mem- orial states that as a result of de- pressed prices on agricultural prod- ucts, immediate relief is necessary to prevent thousands of farmers from losing their farms, augmenting the army of unemployed. | s State Senator C. W. Fine, in an address Monday night, announced the Farmers Union Poultry company of Fulton Market will open in Chi- cago Nov. 16 in response to a wide- spread demand of members of the Farmers Educational and Coopera- tive Union of America, scattered ov- er Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota and Montana. i He explained the company is a cooperative firm, owned and con- trolled by farmers. ; “The inauguration of this enter- prise,” Senator Fine said, “is a logi- cal part of cooperative undertakings of farmers in this section. It is in its aims and purposes similar to other business enterprises of farm- ers in their collective efforts to se- cure for themselves a larger reward for their labor. This is a procedure along the only avenue now at hand for farmers, namely through coop- erative and united marketing as compared to the old profit system which has utterly failed to secure for farmers of this country a fair and just return for their services in providing food and clothing for mankind. - Senator Fine said the Poultry company in Chicago will handle all kinds of dressed poultry only, and has organized a complete plan of shipping dressed poultry in car Tots. Many Loading Points Refrigerator cars of dressed poul- try, he said, will be loaded by rep- resentatives of the Farmers Union at many points in the states affect- ed. In North Dakota, these points are Hettinger, Williston, Mohall, Kenmare, Grenora, Zahl, Crosby, Stanley, Minot, Valley City, Edge- Jey, Carrington and Jamestown, ‘These cars will leave around Nov. 12 to 18. Submitting a report on drought work, Greene declared the Farm- ers Union has made it possible for thousands of people who otherwise would go hungry to have sufficient food. ee “Considering the condition of farmers as a class,” he said, “con- tributions have been liberal. Many carloads of potatoes, vegetables, and other food stuffs have been donated. Many other carloads have been ob- tained at the mere cost of handling and loading.” _ The convention was resumed Tuesday morning with committee re- ports and an address by John A. Simpson, Oklahoma City, national president of the Farmers Union. On the Tuesday afternoon pro- gram were committee reports, gen- eral business, and an address by M. W. Thatcher, general manager of the Farmers Union Terminal asso- ciation. Hl Three Addresses Tonight Three addresses are on tonight's program. The speakers will be .. G. Keeney, president of the Nebras- ka Farmers Union; C. A. Ward, president of the Kansas Farmers Union; and William Lemke, Fargo. Wednesday morning the session will open at 9 o’clock with a junior program. Following this, B. C. Lar- kin, chairman of the North Dakota Railroad Commission, will give an address. The afternoon program will be opened with a musical pro- gram at 1:30 o’clock, to be followed by an address by Charley D. Eg- Jey, manager of the Farmers Union Livesteck commission, and a general business session. _ Balloting was in progress Tues- day, with announcement of the elec- tion results scheduled for 8 p. m., ednesday. uy Something Is the Matter Something is the matter with our economic system when four per cent of the people have in their posses- sion 80 per cent of the purchasing power of the nation, and when 96 per cent have only one-fifth of the purchasing power of the nation, Simpson said in his address Tues- day morning. The national president's address was entitled “What Is the Matter? What Is the Cause? What Is the Remedy?” Prosperity is dependent upon con- suming power and purchasing pow- er. He explained that a man with a net income of $55,000,000 has pur- }law, said: chasing power but no consuming Power, while 200,000 jobless men, wo- men and children in one city have consuming power but no purchasing | Power, | “At the rate we are going now,’, he said, “in 10 years not more than’ @ half dozen families in the United States will own 90 per cent of the wealth.” The cause of the present situation | is “the transfer by congress of its power to regulate the value of money to a handful of bankers in this coun- try,” he said. | Money Volume Reduced | “In January, 1920,” Simpson con- | tinued, “‘the Federal Reserve Boardi {gave orders that the crop of money should be reduced. They told all the Federal Reserve District banks: ‘Col- lect, beginning May 1, 1920, from the little banks scattered over the coun- try” This caused the little banks to collect from farmers and business men. When a small bank collected $100,000 in its trade territory from the farmers and Business men who| had borrowed. of it, then that bank paid the $100,000 note they owed to} the Federal’ Reserve District bank!| in their district and instantly $100,-! 000 of Federal Reserve bank notes) were destroyed. “Altogether, by the process just de-| scribed, nearly three billion dollars| of money has been taken out of cir- culation in the last 11 years.” | In this way, he said, the little) handful of international bankers,| through controlling the crop of mon-/| ey, have been able to make the value} of a dollar go up. Simpson said that when he was a banker in Oklahoma a number of years and purchased a government bond, bearing three and one-half per} cent interest, he sent this bond to! the treasury department and asked for currency to take its place. ‘he department sent him $25,000 in new currency, which he was to sign. The currency cost him nothing but the) bond continued to draw three and! one-half per cent interest as collat- eral. | ‘Pay No One Interest’ “The Farmers Union of this na- tion says that the remedy of the present situation is for Uncle Sam to do his own signing of the mon he prints, pay no one any interes! he said. “If five billions of money is necessary to put the six million men to work, let the printing presses run, but let Uncle Sam sign his own money and write across the face of each bill: full legal tender for ail debts, public and private.” If the farm board had been real friends of farmers they could have done for the wheat. farmer of this country what France did for her wheat farmers, Simpson continued. “They could have asked congress for a tariff that would keep foreign, wheat out and have received from congress the power to license buyers and regulate the marketing of wheat. Then with this power they could have, like France, by! mandate ot ‘Wheat for home con- sumption is $2 per bushel, Chicago basis. All wheat not needed for home consumption is unsalable and must not be moved off of the farm on which it is produced” The results would have been that instead of the farmers receiving 75 cents a bushel| for the 800 million bushels they pro- duced or a total sum of $600,000,000, they would have received for the 600,- 000,000 bushels needed for bread in this country $2 a bushel or $1,200,- 000,000.” City Has Arranged Patriotic Program For Armistice Day (Continued from page one) three sections, which will meet as follows: first—on Second street fac- ing south, head of column’ at inter- section of Second street and Broad- way avenue; second—on Second street facing south, head of column at tersection of Thayer avenue and Sec- ond street; third—on Thayer avenue facing west, head of column at inter- section of Thayer avenue and Second strect.

They will be used to help When the Mandan high school) football team goes into action against Bismarck Wednesday afternoon, it will be without the services of one, and possibly two of its star backs. Dahiquist, spark plug of the Brave attack who shone brilliantly in the first Bismarck game, was injured in the Minot game and still is on crutch- es with a broken leg. Adam Fleck, another player who has been playing fine football, is faced with the pos- sibility of being kept out of the game through scholastic difficulties, Mandan fans are deriving some hope from the fact that Fleck may get into action, providing he can get. his work in shape to the satisfaction of instructors. The Mandan squad has been out of action for more than two weeks and have gone stale. Physical condition of the boys is good, however, and the intense rivalry always present in games between the two schools is expected to spur them into playing their best football. Mandan fans are inclined to give Bismarck a slight edge over the Braves. They feel, however, that if the Warriors get the break, they can even up the series. The game is slated for 2 p. m. (Mandan time) at the fair grounds. Officials expect a capacity crowd will tax the stands to the limit.

D. Gas Fields Are Proved New England, N. D., Nov. 10.— More than 30,000 acres in the 84,000 acres in the North Dakota gas field in Bowman county have been proved with the completion of six big pro- iducing gas wells in Bowman county during the last year by the North- western Oil and Natural Gas com- pany, according to D. J. Carter, vice president, who was in New Englani recently in company with W. C. Van- dervoort of Oregon, former resident of Marmarth, who is now assisting the company in rounding up the re- maining leases in the fields in which the company is located. The state of North Dakota, the United States government and the Northwestern company are the own- ers of one of the best gas wells in the new North Dakota field devel- oped during the last season in Bow- man county. “Montana has been noted for hav- ing the greatest amount of natural gas, but I am now convinced that there is just as much natural gas in the western Dakotas, North and South, as there is across the state border,” Carter said.
