Epp, Cleveland, Ohio, as the prin- Bishop Epp, who is head of the northwest area of the Evangelical church, spoke on “The Need of the Hour.” Declaring that the greatest need at present is for a spiritual as well as a business revival, he said it is imperative for churches to enlist the idle man-power of their organiza- which has called them. “The manhood of America must get back that which it has lost, namely a firm grip on the great spiritual realities,” he averred. “The greatest Problem of the church is the difficul- of employment,” he said. “By tt I do not mean employment in the commonly sense, but rather that 90 per cent of the church work of today is being done by 10 per cent of the church membership.” In closing he deplored the mediocre statesmanship of our political lead- ers, declaring that a spiritual revival would bring about a corresponding interest in public affairs and more conscientious representation. A committee composed of P. W. » Hermdn Bischof, W. A. Schwartz and John Bowers was named to arrange for a second meeting for men of the church when plans for organizing the Broth- erhood will be completed and a con- stitution drawn up.

All letters MU! If you wish to us HE DEMANDS JUSTICE Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 30, 1933. Editor, Tribune: Tt was with much interest we read the proposal of State Treasurer Al- fred 8. Dale to issue scrip money. We feel, however that any plan of this kind should apply to all farmers alike and unless it does this it would be both unjust and discriminatory. ‘We believe that those farmers who are indebteded to private banks, both chain and independent, who are forc-| ed to pay exorbitant interest on chattel mortgages, and those farmers who owe federal land banks, or any other person or institution from whom land has been have and rightly should have the same right to demand a fair and square deal as those who owe the Bank of North Dakota. And what about the tenant farm- ers? Are we to forget them altogeth- er because they pay no huge taxes or bank indebtedness, yet who have been forced to sell at ruinous prices along with those farmers who are trying to pay for their farms? We believe Mr. Dale’s suggestion contains much to commend it and yet & great deal to condemn. His state- ment that this scrip money plan could take the place of the proposed allotment plan now being considered is hardly correct, because the scrip plan would apply to the crops still in the hands of the farmer and the allotment plan would only begin to function with this years’ crops. Neither would the farmer be given anything on a silver platter as some lutely nothing to do with compensa- tion awarded by the government, and bere and government are separate ts, The proposed allotment plan would issue those farmers subscribing to it certificates which could be used in any monner. The state scrip money would only be issued those who paid certain debts with actual currency. And on that account it would seem as though a premium were to be put on the farmer who was slow to pay and @ penalty on the one who, by dint of self-sacrifice and economy, paid taxes and installments promptly. The scrip money scheme would be self-liquidating and require only the sanction of the state which would is- sue revenue stamps to be affixed to the notes. As they passed from hand to hand they would compel the pay- ment of a small service fee from those who accepted them as payment, but this would probably cause no great objection since in many cases it would be scrip sales or no sales. ‘We must remember, however, that there is a big difference between this manner of ‘compensation’ and that of appropriating large sums to be paid as bonus’ or adjusted payments. Everyone at all aware of. present conditions knows full well that while bankers, merchants, machinery com: panies, gas and oil dealers, profession- al men and practically all other bus- iness has been demanding little less for their services than in prosperous times, the farmer has been forced to take @ cut approximating 70 per cent on practically everything he produces and at the same time pay exorbitant prices for everything he buys. “The farmer has been compelled to pay 100 cents from a 25-cent dollar and thus far society in general has refused dither to relieve him of his burden or share it. The fear has been expressed that substitute money will drive actual currency out of the state, but remem- bering how scarce real currency has eee why fear for that con- 1? The fact has also been commented on that the scrip would be of no value outside the state, which is true, but what is to hinder two or more states from accepting each other's currency or scrip? If the government has been 80 careless as to permit real currency to become the property of the few, who are demanding three and four times its worth, the states singly and collectively owe it to their citizens to do something to aid them. If we know the farmers are losing their homes and goods and chattels through fore- closure proceedings and on no ac- count of their own, and do nothing to stop it we are turning our backs against our own best interests. ‘When we permit property rights to supercede human rights, as we are doing today, we are on the sure and | swift road to ruin. From north to south, from east to west, the cry of agricultural distress is heard. The farmer is no mentiicant. Neither does he ask for charity or the crumbs from the rich man’s table. He is demand- ing justice and woe betide him who hears but refuses to answer! A Farmer. TURN BACK THE AGES Wilton, N. D. Jan. 27, 1933. Editor, Tribune: Ho! Ye people.
