What are the fundamental causes and what will be the final ending of this war and of* all wars?

The committee went to Sioux Falls, headquarters of the South Dakota branch of the League, and there went thoroughly- into the workings of the League. The com- mittee had’ access to the League's books and all other data which could be supplied. As a result of the investigation and report of this committee, the last reg- ular meeting of the Dodd local of the South Dakota Farmers’ union adopted unanimously the following set of res- olutions, which, besides whole-hearted- ly indorsing the League, called upon the farmers of the state to give their support only to such newspapers as are demonstrating their devotion to the welfare of the farmers by actively and openly supporting the League and its program: ‘“Whereas, we believe that our pres- ent economic syst&m is fundamentally wrong, inasmuch as it is burdensome and unjust to both producer and con- sumer, and “Whereas, the National Nonpartisan - league has worked out and is support- ing a constructive program that will correct'a number of these wrongs, and “Whereas, the purposes and principles of the National Nonpartisan league are in harmony with those of the Farmers’ union, and “Whereas, the League will not, in carrying out its reforms, encroach up- on the field occupied by the Farmers’ union, therefore, “Be it resolved, that we heartily in- dorse the Nonpartisan league, and . “Whereas, certain persons have been circulating statements derogatory - to the League, thereby causing dissension among Union members, and - “Whereas, this local of the Farm- ers’ union, desiring to know the truth, sent a committee to investigate the records of the League at its state-head- - quarters at Sioux Falls, and this in- vestigation failed to disclose. anything that would justify these cnticlsms of the League, therefore “Be it resolved, that we, who wish to preserve harmony in the member- ship of the Farmers’ union, do hereby express our disapproval of ‘such criti- cisms of the League, and be it fur- ther resolved, that this local of the Farmers’ union hereby asks other lo- ° cals to consider these resolutions, in- vestigate the League, its management its program and its record on their own ‘account and publish their deci- sions in the South Dpkota Union Farm- er. And be it furthef resolved, that we call upon all farmers of the state - of South Dakota to give their support to such newspapers as are demonstrat- ing their devotion to the welfare of the farmers of the state by actively and openly supporting the -National Nonpartisan league and its program, bearing in mind that the League, be- ing a political organization, as distin- guished from other farmers’ organiza- tions, will be either supported or op-. posed by the press of our state gener- ally, and be'it further “Resolved, that a copy of these reso- lutions be placed on file in the records of the Dodd local number 16, that one be sent for publication in the South Dakota Union Farmer, and one to the Nonpartisan Leader.” The resolutions are signed by the following on behalf of the Union: L. E. Lowrie, David Lovinger, A. J. Frantz, C. N. Carlson, Chas. Boreson, Art Kendall, Elmer Moreland, M. E. Hansen, H. C. Mayhew, Alfred Dodd, Emil H. Carlson, P. S. Anderson, Chas. G.

Country Must Face About Overloading the Farmer as a Beast of Burden Is - _ ' Perilous in This Crisis Palermo, N. D. Editor Nonpartlsan Leader: There is a force somewhere that % everlastingly pounding the farmer. It is now attacking North Dakota as a state. The reascn is easy to see. He who commits a crime must everlast- ingly be at ‘work covering up his tracks. The farmer is awakening, especially so ih North Dakota. There is also a reason for it. clusively producing the staff of life, the bread product. The world is in turmoil, it is in a birth pain, bringing another offspring into life. The new light shall reign, and the world shall have everlasting peace. . Those who started the war did not start it for the purposes that will result from it. The government will see that to win this war, the products of the earth, steel, irom, copper, etc., now in the hands of Big Business, must be con- trolled by the government and the price be put where it will put stimulus into the tilling of the soil, that we may produce the bread and win the war. FARMS DWINDLING WHILE CITIES SWELL - The farmers’ sons of draft age go to war, and their sons over the draft age go to the city because of better wages, and the result will be a lost lost war. The farmer is waking up to We are, so to say, ex— this fact and his loyalty and intense desire to win this war are making themselves felt, and the parties con- trolled by the special interests must be put out if they will not listen to the voice of the people. These special in- terests are trying to whip the farmer into silence, but if they do, “the stoneg shall cry.” We ask of our government that,it change this course of procedure quick- ly. There is no time to lose. We must get back to the soil quick, and the price of steel, iron, copper, timber, etc., must come down to a price so low that it will 852ge the people back to the soil. FIGURING PROFITS FOR THE MILLERS To prove this, I refer you to Web- ster’s history of ancient Rome. Com- mence at about 50, B. C., and see how brecisely we are following in-the steps of that empire—our social and polit- ical problems to a. T the same. Shall we also go down never to arise again? We can not afford to lose this war and .be made slaves by militarism again. Who can bear the shame in the face of the fact that our forefathers gave their blood and life to deliver us from it? Just a little example to show how ~blind business' is. ~willingly shuts its eyes, I can not believe'it - I will call N
