SOME FARM FARMS AND SOME FARM FARMERS “ ‘But, Mr. Mills,’ someone ééys, ‘vou ought to bear in mind that farm- ers are landlords.’ ‘“That’s a mistake, A farmer is a man who uses land. A landlord is a- man who takes the products of land without using it. The farmer farms the land, the landlord farms the farmer.” Mr. Mills tells of having a visit with Dr. E. F. Ladd, president of the agricultural college. “I had long wished to meet him,” Mr. Mills says, ‘“and get his views on these great problems. The first thing I asked him was what he considers is the greatest question now affecting the people of North Dakota. “With a moment’s hesitation he answered me, ‘The question of the landlord and the tenant.’ ‘“That’s the great question. In this country in a single state last year 5,000 farmers swapped a deed for a mortgage and took a lease on the land they had owned. “We’'ve got to devise some plan whereby the man who farms will be "~ the master of the farm he farms.” Referring again to his stick, Mr. Mills says that all the trouble and turmoil up and down the world is due- to the fact that the workers are try- ing to lift the line thereon, marking their share of the world’s wealth, and the ‘‘other fellows” 'are trying to shove it down. : “What’s the trouble between Town- ley- and the Forum? ‘“Why, Townley wants to move the " line up, and the Forum wants to hold it down,” he said, indicating on the stick. ; e ‘“What’s the trouble between Town- ley and Bacon? ‘“Same thing—Townley started try- _ing to shove the line up and met Bacon, trying to shove it down. “If Bacon could persuade Townley to use other people’s money to pay his own debts, he’d nominate Townley for a membership in the chamber of com- merce.”’ - He asks his audiences where they think the “‘other fellows” would want the line on the stick. ‘“Clear to the bottom,” is the an-| swer he usually gets. ; “No,” says Mr. Mills, ‘“‘not clear to the bottom, for if it was there there’d be no one left to produce wealth for the landlord and the capitalist and the managers who work for them. ‘“Where do you want the line put?” “Clear to the top,” is the response, every time. ‘“Yes,”” says Mr. Mills, “and that’s all that’s the matter with the Non- partisan league.” Bits of damp newspaper scattered over the floor will hinder dust from rising when the room is swept. The wooden or linoleum-covered floors of a well-kept kitchen and pantry harbor very little dust. 55" "fHE,,.W",‘LY _P};-—\ ) Wiive HOUSE. 7 c«‘gyrs_ AN INTERVIEW 4 6ND pocfs»fl; S PN - a( WO BT isem LEAGUE i Wilton' . iie Sas iy Saturday, Feb. 16 —Drawn expressly for the Leader by W.

President ;‘ Wilson shows his appreciation of the need of the farmers movement in other ways, too. In fact his book, “The New Freedom,” is a regular handbook for the League. Awful, isn’t it? About the only thing left for Big Biz to do, it seems, is to attack the president and the progressive members of his cabinet. Maybe Big Biz can “prove” that President Wilson and Secretary Baker are traitors, too, “by the same methods that they used to “prove” the League farmers are traitors: We. don’t think so. It is more likely that Big Biz will only succeed-in proving - “that the great business combinations, interfering with the nation’s war prepara- tions because of their own greed for profits, are the only real traitors. .
