b 0] " Short Arm - Politicians are . very accommoglating. They put up two candidates and then “kindly tell the dear farmer he can take his choice. 3 . * %% Farm land is the best security there is. ‘And yet farmers must pay pawn broker’s rates for money. The men who have money to loan make the laws. g Txs The farmers of North Dakota set an example to the whole world—cleaned up polities. It begins to look like the rest of the world was going to follow the " example, too. Just watch Minnesota! Sk kR i A Minnesota politician declared the other day that Minnesota farmers don’t need any more legislation. Judging by the amount they have already got that is what the majority "of the past legis- latures have thought about it. L 3 3 A Minnesota editor who is opposed to the Nonpartisan League says he is afraid such a political organization would be very dangerous. Dangerous to whom, Mr. Editor, to the politicians, to the interests that prey or dangerous to the farmers? 220 Party politics is a very execellent thing —excellent for the politician and these with special axes to grind. That’s the reason said politicians and their hench- men oppose the Nonpartisan League and + shed barrels of horse-radish tears because the farmers are paying out their own money to build such an organization. ! x X ¥ There are two things that cause us to entertain grave doubts as to the value of the. recent rural credits bill that was passed by Congress. One is that some of the leading farm journals of the country, Wallace’s Iowa Farmer, for example, are eondemning it. The other is that all the bankers in the country are shouting for it. Farmers did not make the law.: \ — sk The farmers of North-Dakota upset the old tradition that farmers_can’t stick. They, stuck, to a man. "" The farmers of other states—Minne- sota for example, are composed of the . same flesh and blood and have similar cause of complaint as the North Dakota farmers. ! Therefore the Minnesota farmers, an the farmers of other states, will . also stick. < % L% X% It is not the fee that the farmers pay into their organization that causes the politicians and others to weep tears the size of a’'walnut. - Of courseithey would like to have that sixteen -dollars. But the farmers have been skinned, robbed, fleeced, defrauded and cheated out of many times that amount and these fel- lows never made a whimper, What really concerns them is that the farmers are organizing—and didn’t ask them " aboutrit! X Tk k%R A Minnesota newspaper-man, of the reactionary type, delivers himself of the - following: “We are cooperating all right in this state and don’t need any - Advertisements “in the Nonpartisan Leader . havethe Pulling Power because they are read by practically every v Jabs, Jolts By 0.

They have local cream- eries, potato warehouses and shipping associations—all of which were organ- ized over the protest of some editors and politicians. Now,. that these organiz- ations are perfected and in operation, the editors say, “we are cooperating fine.” But nix on the warehouse at the other end of the line, on the purchasing association, and especially on cooperating - in politics. When the farmers get together on the political field then' the politicians will have to take his mug out of the public haymow. 5 * ¥ % : As much as we dislike it, it yet remains a fact that humanity in this country is divided into three classes: The business class, the wage working class and the agricultural class. The business class does and has always dominated the law making bodies of the nation and therefore it has been -able to get the leg- islation ~ it wanted. That 1is" class legislation. 3 The wage working class has not been able to get the legislation it wanted and needed because it was not adequately . represented—porportionately represent- ed, if you please, in the law making bodies. b Because of the inequality and the dis- crimination resulting therefrom a nation- al calamity was narrowly averted the other day when congress passed the 8- hour law for trainmen. It was the same neglect and discrim- ination that caused the farmers of North Dakota to rise in revolt and throw the politicians into the discard, by forming the Nonpartisan League, which is now spreading to other ‘states. There has been-class legislation long enough. . - - : SUPPORT CONNECTION TO STALL POST, ALLOWS SIDE SWINGING MOVEMEN OF HOOK NO BOLTS, RWETS OR BURS TO COME Loose .
