Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers Producers Rule in Australian State Farmers and City Workers, Combined in the Labor Party, Vote Themselves Into Power S A message of encourage- ment to the producers of America flashed half way around the world come the election returns from the province of Queens- land, Australia. The Labor party was returned to power by a vote of two to one. : The Labor party in Australia corre- sponds somewhat to the Nonpartisan movement in America. It is a combi-" nation of small farmers and workers for the purpose of controlling the political fortunes of the state in which they are in a vast majority. One of their policies is to use the agency of the state in marketing the products of the farms. The campaign which preceded this election resembled strongly the-cam- paign against the League in America. The profiteers tried to hog to them- selves all of the patriotism in the land, but they could not thereby in- duce the people to go back to the antiquated system of turning their products over to the food trust to work out its profiteering game. The people had an object lesson close at hand. In the public meat shops in" Queensland meat was selling on January 18 for about half what it cost in the profiteering trust shops in Melbourne, in the province of Victoria. _Sirloin steak was 13 cents in the Queensland = state markets —and 24 cents in the Melbourne private mar- kets. “The duty of governments is to govern, and not to trade,” shouted the opposition party. The Labor party re- plied by showing the benefits of hav- ing the state engage in trade, not only in the meat business but in other lines. The state had decreased fire insur- ance premiums 20 per cent and promised further reductions. The state had also established free legal aid bureaus for the soldiers-and to the poor people. It had doubled the amount of insurance for injured labor- ers and reduced their assessment for their share in this service by 10 per cent. The result of the campaign, which’ ‘was fiercely waged; was a return of the Labor party to power by a larger vote than ever. The fight against the Labor party was waged with system and method, and the funds to give it Keep the Beacon. Light Burning Wo.lf Point, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The farmers here ‘will stick, and the more they kick us the harder we will stick. The town, or the noble town council, of Wolf Point stopped Mr. Mills from talking to the farmers here. Many of us came miles through the mud and slush to hear the gospel of farmers’ organi- zation. When we arrived we found that the Constitu- tion’s guarantee of free speech and free assem- blage - had been suspended by the town officials.. . " The following week the Wolf Point Herald came out with a front page article upholding the action of the council. Our enemies expected the matter to die out as soon as they had : , accomplished their: work, but not so with Mr. Hay Rube. We are willing to carry this on to a finish. I know of a number of farmers who stopped the paper and I also know that several of the 'hostile merchants have lost some good customers. life were assessed against the beef barons and wool kings. The Labor party printed a circular sent out from ‘the Union Bank chambers at Brisbane in which these “plutes” were notified ‘as to the amount of their assessment, based on their business. The large slush fund thus collected may be imagined, but it did not prevail. Australia has always been a for- ward looking country. We got our idea of a secret ballot from there, and now they follow that up with a very successful example of the value of public marketing to the small pro- ducer and the consumer. WHAT AN IOWAN THINKS Newton, Iowa. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: “Labor creates all wealth,” Lincoln said. The farmer in the country and the worker in the city form the labor- ing class. From Robert Hord down to the boards of trade and commerecial clubs the other class draws its being. This class is known by different names in different ages of the world’s his- tory. These commercial pirates steal from the farmers by fixing low prices and then plunder the consumer with high prices. It is this three-card monte game that makes millionaires out of the pirates, and paupers the millions of industrious honest workers in the country and city. To remedy all this the workers should enact into law all the just demands of the Non- partisan league. A law is wanted to enable cities to operate their own food storage and distribution so that the profits now taken by non-producing pirates may be divided among farmers in the shape of betiter prices and among the city workers in lower prices. We should have government ownmership of the railways so that the billions of dollars which go for dividends on watered stock to the capitalistic monarchial parasites may go to the workers on the railroads in the shape of better' wages, lower hours and other ad- vantages and to the public in the form of lower cost of transportation of pas- sengers and lower freight rates. EX-SENATOR PERRY ENGLE, M. D. Sénator Engle was one of the Alli- ance leaders in Iowa, 40 years ago.— THE EDITOR. : How long are we -farmers going to submit to these assaults? Are we go- ing to let those who depend upon us for their support dominate us as if we were their chattels? Or are we going to step out of the rut and put on the cloak of co-operation and go hand in hand with our brothers? It is time we were doing something to protect the rights which our fore- fathers died for. Take free speech ' from any democratic country and you have autocracy. Our boys, when they come back from over the ocean, must not be able to say that we have been slackers to let a monster here at home swallow all signs of democracy. ' If we are going to. conquer this evil, it is time for us to act. The best way I know is to become a member of the Nonpartisan: league. But don’t stop there; keep boosting; and give it the same consideration we do_our other interests. : i : ARTHUR FRANCIS, Equity Co-Operative Association.

Nichols and Shepard Company has confined its efforts and resources to threshing ma- chinery alone, longer than any other manufacturer in the world. The result is that the Red River Special, with its ‘‘Man Behind the Gun,’’ the Beating Shakers and the Big Cylinder, stands at the very top of the list as a grain thresher.
