Mention Leader when writing advertisers .~ Dear Sir: A TR U S Farmers Are in - Earnest (Editorial in New Rockford State 5 Center) No one will question but that the farmers of the state are in dead earn- est to bring about a measure of relief from actual mercenary marketing con- ditions that have long afflicted them. But they have been met more than'hal,f way by an opposing force that, instead of lending a helping hand and wise counsel, blocked their every attempt at improvement. The opposition to their plans was absolute and uncom- promising. 'S Under the circumstances there is but one thing for them to do other than submit to complete and unconditionai surrender. Continue the fight. It was to be expected that those who make their living off the farmer would oppose everything that savored of in- dependent marketing, but it seemed scarcely possible that well-to-do farm- ers in the state senate would lend their influence and votes to perpetuate the injustice that farmers labor under. The majority of the voters of the state, however, have a powerful weapon in their hands which even the majority in the senate can only re- strain temporarily. If sentiment does not change very materially within two years there promises to be a turning over that will by comparison, make the campaign of last November look like a tame affair. At the same time it will be well for all parties to exercise good judgment and not proceed with malice, but after mature deliberation act manfully for wha.t is considered for the best. It never pays to retaliate or attempt to get even, but it does pay to act in self defense when one feels that he is right. The fact that certain interests farther east are manifesting unusual concern in .our affairs and that the action of the majority of' the senators did exactly what those interests desir- ed looks bad, whatever construction is put upon their action. It seems more than merely incidental. TO SENATOR ENGLUND Kenmare, N. D., Feb. 5, 1917. J. A. Englundg, Bismarck, N. D. Yours of Ja:nuary 30 relative to House Bill 44 received and carefully read. Your objections are of no value to me as a farmer. About 80 per cent 'of the voters of North Dakota at the last election voted for a change in the _brogram' as' to state legislation and find that this’ 25-year-old document does not allow them to carry out that program. Therefore we demand a change. You, sir, evidently are not aware that the farmers have awakened in the state, and in your county. Over four hundred of your neighbors came from two to forty miles to protest against your proceedure at Bismarck and to indorse House Bill 44, Your name, sir, was handled “with- out gloves” and in other days and at other times in the past men like your- self who deliberately tried@ to thwart the will of the majority have found it unpleasant to return to their constit- uency. ‘Words are inadequate to express my contempt for one who would make every effort to prevent the farmers " enacting remedial . legislation, which any sane man knows they are entitled to. A long suffering people, who, as you well know, have been exploited by elevator. companies, railroads, banks, etc. Too bad, isn’t it, that the “worm has turned and demands recognition?” You, sir, hope to mislead the farmers by the “bugaboo” cry of Socialism— stampede them I suppose. I am only a poor ignorant farmer and did not know what you meant so I looked up the word ‘“Socialism’” in Webster. He says: ““A throng of society which advocates a more precise, orderly and harmonious arrangement of the social relations of mankind than®that which has hitherto prevailed.” I guess that’s it. Maybe we would get more for our ‘“Feed D” wheat— then of course we would be more har- monious. That's why we want a new constitution. It’s something different— that’'s what we are looking for. We don’t care what you call it, just so we can save some of ‘the millions now go-=, ing to waste by the route that you like, and the Minnesota elevators, too. They like the same old system. “Fun- ny, isn’t it?’ In other words; J. A, we are ‘“on” and we are amply able to care for our interests and have no use for your kind. W. R.
