ADVERTISEMENTS Do You Want to Work for the League? Here’s the situation: We are organizing in 13 states now—other states want to swing into line. New opportunities come up every day. The issue grows bigger—the demands greater. But it takes MEN to do this work—men as organizers, managers, lecturers, writers— men in every capacity to put “the big drive” across. Now what can you do? Take an inventory of yourself. Can't you make a successful organizer? We need hundreds of them. Can you fill any of these other positions? I‘I()\V lIlll(‘h time can you give ? Can you gl\'(‘ all your time to the work? If you can, there's a gocd job waiting for you with good pay and the satisfaction too of knowing that you are playing a big part in a big movement—that you are help- ing to free the people from the clutches of Big Business. But if you can’t give all your time, can you give part of your time? How about working several months this winter and then in the campaign next year after the spring work is done? And we don’'t mean, GIVE your tigie either—we mean work with good pay for the time you spend. Welcome P. Doyle, Fargo, N. D., tikes the dollar for this week’s amateur { | cartoon. He calls his cartoon “Ask Him". The farmer’s wife, wants to. know where all the money has gone and the farmer refers her to the gentleman standing behind him. Welcome is 16 years old and has taken a few lessons in cartooning from a professional. “The Nonpartisan league,” he says, “is doing good work in North Dakota for the farmers and | wish it success.” * The competition among the boys and girls of the Leader’s great family of readers to “land” in the amateur department has far exceeded the editor’s ex- pectations. We are getting swamped with cartoons from amateurs. So don't be impatient if your drawing doesn’t appear right away—we can only print one a week at most. Some of the contestants are going to be disappointed, because they did not obey the instruction to draw on white, unlined paper with black ink. $ Unless this rule is observed the cartoons can not be reproduced. The Leader can not undertake to return unused cartoons or to correspond about the contest, which will continue indefinitely. Every amateur who “lands” gets a dollar, We’ll give you the facts and figures and training you need to do successful work. We have a training course for organizers which gives you a full grasp of the farmers’ problems—no matter what state you may work in. This course will give you all the details of organization work—all the infor- mation about the League so you can answer any question or meet any objection. It will give you the methods of work our ex- perienced organizers have found worked best. You can start right in with the benefit of all they've learned in these two years of the fight with Big Business. E If you can’t do.organization work this winter, why not take the course and be ready to have a part in the cam- ) value. The law provides that cities paign next year? There will be need of trained men for speakers and campaigners as well as for candidates. looking around for the best men in the community for this work.

The Leader’s Book Reviewer New books sent us for criticism SINGL;E TAX YEAR BOOK N analysis of what the North Dakota farmers have done in the way of evening up the burdens of taxation, although the single tax has not been tried, is contained in the “Single Tax Year Book,” just out, edited by Joseph Dana Miller. This book has come to be looked upon by all students of taxation as a storehouse of useful information and a history of all movements regard- ing taxation. No country struggling with tax prob- lems is too small to escape it, and its broad minded method of treatment gives facts without argument, although there are articles setting forth the claims of single tax. All progress in taxation, whether along single tax lines or not, is reported. It will be of particular interest to all farmers interested in the new farmers’ movement because of the recognition it gives of the work already accom- plished by the politically organized farmers in North Dakota. What the new North Dakota law provides is thus summarized by the author: “At the session of 1917 the assessable property of the state was divided inte three classes, Class one comprises all land (both city and country) railroad, express and telegraph property, and bank shares to be assessed at 30 per cent of its full value. Class three in- cludes all household goods, wearing apparel, and structures and improve- ments upon farm land, such property to be assessed at 5 per cent of its full may by referendum vote to bring their buildings within this classification. All other property is included in class two and is to be assessed at 20 per cent of its actual value; this will include city buildings, unless otherwise voted.” The volume conlains a summary of tax progress in Colorado, Delaware, Missouri, Oregon, Rhode Island, Cali- fornia; places where tax reforms have been enacted; cities that have taken steps in tax regulation; the history of tax movements in many foreign coun- tries; a discussion of the single tax in relation with other movements, each by a recognized authority; and a voluminous appendix in which is grouped under appropriate headings a mass of facts dealing with economis ‘ questions. The book contains 466 pages, is printed in large, clear type, on soft paper with deckle edges, uncut, well bound in green cloth, and is valuable to-all who are interested in taxation. It can be had from the Single Tax Re- view Publishing €ompany, Sun Build- ing, N Y. City. THE PUBIC GROWS The Public, a weekly journal of fundamental democracy founded 20 years ago by Louis F. Post, now assist- “ant secretary” of labor at ‘Washington, announces that beginning January 1 its size will be increased one-third and the subscription price increased from $1 to $2 a year. The Public is one of the radical journals that have sup- ported the government in its war policy, without compromising in the slightest degree with those “enemies within,” represented by social and economic injustice. It 1s steadily growing in influence, and its editorial and specfal articles furnish an exe cellent lead for liberal-thinking ia these critical times. The Equity Livestock Sale} Many Farmers Expected to Attend Event Scheduled This Month The Equity Co-operative Exchange Livestock Department South St. Paul, Minn.,, will hold on December 11 and 12 its first livestock show and sale. This will take the place of the annual convention. This, the first annual sale of one of the largest farmers’ organ- izations of the Northwest, will be open to all breeds. It is anticipated that it will be continued annually at the close of the year’s work when the farmers can all attend and will revolu- tionize the purebred livestock industry of the Northwest, The sale this year is an assured success. Many entries have been received and some of the best breeders of the Northwest will be rep- resented. The largest number of buy- ers that ever attended a show and sale . at South St. Paul will be on hand to make their purchases. A farmers’ meeting will be held on PAGE SIXTEEN e B st e e A NS \ X S the evening of December 11 at St. Paml and ‘will be addressed by Governor Frazier of North Dakota, Col, March of Litchfield, Minn., and J. M. Anderson, President of the Equity Co-Operative exchange. Another event will be a banquet given on the evening of De- cember 12 by the Emporium store, Every breeder having stock listed with this show and sale will be an in- vited guest to this banquet as well ag every breeder that purchases any stock at this sale. The Emporium store has always kept in close touch with the farmers’ battle for better markets and . has on many occasions assisted the farmers very materially in thelr pro-- gram but at the coming show and sale it is thelr intention to outdo all past efforts in thelr hogpitality toward the members of the farmers' organ- ization, ;
