A: Bryan, Head of Idaho Education, Sees Farm- ers and Workers as Hopelessly Apart w|HE LEADER is sorry to see a man like Doctor E. A. Bryan, who has bein of much service to farm- ers and their cause, go astray on the subject of co-operation of farmers and working- men. Doctor Bryan was formerly president of the Washmg'ton State (agricultural) college and is now head of the Idaho state educational system. In a recent article he declares that fundamentally the interests of farm- ers and of workingmen of the cities are opposed and that there can not be any-real basis for their solidly co- operating in politics. Doctor Bryan’s arguments can be disposed of immediately. In the first place he says that the farmer is a capitalist and the city wage-worker is not. This is the same position taken by the most orthodox Socialists, who class farmers as “bourgeoise,” and wage-workers as “proletariat,” and assert that there must be a continual “class war” between those two classes: (See last year’s official Socialist Year Book, in which an attack is made on the Nonpartisan league on this ground.) The fact is, however, that the basis of co-operation between farmers and city workers is that they are both PRODUCERS. Doctor Bryan makes the mistake of calling farmers “producers” and city wage-workers “consumers” and claim- ing for that reason also that their in- terests politically are'separate. The fact is that city wage-workers are PRODUCERS, just as much as farm- ers, In truth, farmers and city wage- workers PRODUCE EVERYTHING OF VALUE IN THE WORLD. On the other hand, the farmer is a con- sumer as well as a producer. Outside of foodstuffs, he must buy almost everything he consumes or uses. We'll wager that even the average farmer’s grocery and meat bill is as big as the" average wage-worker’s. The farmer buys flour, even though he raises wheat. Farmers are producers and consumers and so are wage-workers. ‘Again the assumption by Doctor Bryan and the Socialists that the farmer is a capltahst, is purely aca- demic. The country.is not divided into wage-workers and capitalists, but into special privilege capitalists and the The man wirh a lit- common people. tle working capital, such as the farmer may have, is just as much exploited by ‘the special interests as the man { of no capital. The men of little capi- tal, such as retailers and manufactur- ers in lines that have not been monop- olized, have for years been fighting a losing game against the -plutocrats. Every year sees more of them drop- ping into the maw of the trusts, just as every year shows more and more independent farmers replaced by ten- ants or by the corporation farming which is under way. When he attempts to give concrete examples to back up his argument Doctor Bryan gets into deeper water: He says labor is interested, for in- stance, in enforcing the eight-hour day, but that a farmer, in many in- stances as an employer of farm hands, must fight such a thing. He considers thai fatal to co-operation. The fact is that every eight-hour demand made by organized labor and every law on the subject so far passed adds the words, “except in agricultural pur- ' suits.” The Minnesota farmers, whose convention co-operated -with the con- vention of the Minnesota State Feder- ~ation of Labor in naming a joint farmer-labor political ticket and draw- ing. up a joint farmer-labor program, agreed to support an eight-hour: law organized labor was perfectly satis- fied The doctor’s argument is faulty when he says that the farmer is an “individualist” and the wage-worker goes in for “class solidarity.,” We admit that farmers WERE individual- ists (so were wage-workers once), but has the doctor examined the solidarity of the Nonpartisan league farmers— in North Dakota, for instance? His other arguments are equally old- fashioned, He mentions taxes, claim- ing that the interests of farmers and workers differ on that. Farmers pay taxes, sure—but do not workingmen own homes and personal property which is also taxed? The worker pays taxes just as the farmer does. What he doesn’t pay directly on home or other property, he pays indirectly in the cost of things he must consume and in rent. No one can deny that small differ- ences of opinion may arise between or- ganized farmers and workers, but this is quite a different matter from as- suming that they are hopelessly apart as Doctor Bryan does. - The great problem of both classes, the problem surpassing all others, is that of get- - ting the special interests off their backs. With that problem solved by co-operating together they can very easily settle the small differences aris- ing out of the disposition of the favor- able results. If it were not for the fact that the special interests are do- ing everything possible to create bad feeling between the farmers and the city workers, to protect their power, -we would hear very, very little of these supposed differences in interest. The toilers of Europe are reported to be very bloodthirsty, that is, re- ported thus in the kept press, but there isn’t a single old-line politician here who doesn’t advocate wielding the meat axe on the hungry heads.™ Fresh frozen dressed herring, 9c 1b.; ADVERTISEMENTS Acclimated Ornamental AND =——= Fruit Trees I have as fine a nursery stock on my farm as can be found in the North- i3 west.
