Ed_itor Nonpartisan Leader: Here is a copy of a letter I have written to the Farmers’ Dispatch of St. Paul, which you may publish if you wish: Editor Farmers’ Dispatch: Your answers to Arthur Lawrence’s ques- tions in the Farmers’ Dispatch of Feb- ruary 12 shows exactly upon which side you stand in this great fight for the farmers’ welfare. You view with alarm the assertion of the League leaders that the League’s intention is to capture the government. You try to convey the idea that it is the “leaders,” individually and separate from the League members, that are going to capture the government for their own. individual aggrandizement. You are either dishonest or very poor- ly informed, for none of the “leaders” run for office. And those who do are nominate¢ in a purely democratic manner and elected by the people. You also view with alarm section 4 of the declaration of rights of the new constitution which the Nonpartisan league proposes for North Dakota for which you make this statement: “Here is the unchallenged right of way for state socialism which the Nonpartisan leaders have definitely declared their intention of invoking through the state ownership of eleva- tors, flouring mills and packing Taking the Gamble (Continued from page 10) fact that men of other classes can not legislate for farmers. The loss from hail is one of the many forms of natural risks from which the individual farmers should be adequately protected. Hail insur- ance with private companies is better ‘than no insurance, but it is a matter of simple business sense for the farm- er to provide himself with it through state action. : By this means he can save from one-third to one-half the cost of the protection. - With state hail inSura_nce as a be- houses. ‘'Lhis is not an autocracy of kings bu: an autocracy of politics.” Will you please explain how, in the name of sense, this would be, if run by the people of the state for the peo- ple of the state, an autocracy of poli- tics? Of course “there must be effi- cient control of the organization by a small body and executive committee,” and would it inform you any to know that this controlling body would be subject to the will of the people of the state and not A. C. Townley or any other leader now or future? Perhaps you have forgotten that you have failed to present proof that this “. . would mean a state own- ing its inlustries and A. C. Townley and his associates owning the state.” And that “the government, instead of being controlled by voters of .all classes and occupations would be con- trolled by a Bolshevik soviet placed at the head of a distinctly class organi- zation.” Your argument causes me to believe that you are mostly alarmed in the farmers and laborers “capturing the reins of government” and using it for the greatest good of the greatest number instead of for the good of a certain swmall class as it is and has been for some time. Hoping that you will soon see the light and voice the farmers’ and la- borers’ economic cause as well as the other class. PERRY OAKLEY, Out of Hail Storms ginning the farmers in time will insist on extending the system to cover all forms of crop losses or calamities of a general nature for which the indi- vidual farmer is in no way responsible. " The more closely the farmers follow up-to-date business principles, the more they will insist on being ade- quately protected from crop losses of a general nature and the more profit- able farming business will become. Today the farmer is considered the greatest of speculators because he speculates not merely against market conditions but against losses by hail, plant diseases and drought. Kansas and N. D.—A Striking Parallel {Continued from page 5) I. W. W.). Without a shadow of in- vestigation, but with wonderful unity of action, all the enemies of the or- ganized farmers adopted this view and for months the battle was waged against them on this ground. When at last a sane hearing was obtained and the investigation that the accused” demanded was about to be forced, the politicians dropped their hue and cry. Suddenly, as if by magic, all reference to it ceased—for the ac- ‘cused farmers and their leaders had gone to the expense of ferreting out the plotters, had all the evidence and were ready to go into court and show who were the guilty ones with names; dates, a mass of facts and the political Then the poli- ticians began to laugh at the whole incident. They said it had been merely a little episode and exaggérated wholly beyond its importance. They. tried to excuse themselves by plead- ' ing that it had been a political tem- pest in a teapot and there was nothing to it. And they were so strongly or- ganized in control’ of courts, sheriffs -and ‘legislature ‘that no investigation: of any kind could be forced, and the public is left to this day with the statement of reliable historians that it was a big. plot ‘to ascribe violence - to the farmers. : : One other parallel . with ‘present conditions should be mentioned, and that is the way the Kansas farmer legislature enacted some 'good laws by a reactionary * league. - senate—just as was the case in North Dakota in 1917. When the Kansas legislature of 1891 met, its farmer members were able to pass a long de- sired law establishing forestry sta- tions for the cultivation of trees; an eight-hour day on public work; in- spection of grain warehouses and grading; an alien land ownership law; the prohibition of *wildcat banks and some other good measures. But they failed to enact the freight rate law that they had been demand- ing which would have put freight rateS on a long and short haul basis and would have reduced the total freight toll in the state by 30 per cent,” if was figured. The old-timers also defeated a proposed law to pen- alize usurers by depriving them of their principal-and interest. This is strongly similar to the way the Non- partisan league legislature in North .-Dakota enacted a grain grading law, a bank guarantee of deposits law, a semi-monthly payday for labor, and other progressive measures;-but fail- ed to pass a freight rate bill that would have reduced tolls on freight in North Dakota 35 per cent, because of .a hold-over senate that defied the, people and voted: for: the railroads. When the farmers’ movement of 1873 was getting under way (the Grange movement) farmers’ enemies said the same things about the Grange they now say about the Nonpartisan et
