N FROM A SOLDIER s Rancher, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am just in receipt of my delin- quent tax receipt for the year 1918 on land which I own in Rosebud coun- ty, Mont. I note on same an extra charge for advertising in a local paper under heading of “Land for sale for taxes.” This land was sold January 16, 1919. At that time I was in the service and had been for several months and was not discharged ‘until several months after above date. But while I was making the “world safe for democracy” a lot of swivel-chair politicians were imposing an extra cost on land already taxed too high. Our papers, local and otherwise, were assuring us that our land could not be sold for taxes. The kept press is asking now why so many of the ex- service men are dissatisfied. 1f some of our politicians were compelled to do squads right for a reasonable length of time under some hard-boiled, gold-mounted “60-day wonder,” along with some of the other joys and sor- rows of a rookie, they would know why. oy - Let us try the Nonpartisan league in Montana. North Dakota has given .the ex-service men a squarer deal than Montana has, even though big business calls North Dakota “radical” and “Bolshevik.” MELVIN BUTLER. FOR LAW AND ORDER 8 Canton, Texas. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I wish to speak in commendation of the editorials in the Leader of Decem- ber 8 under the captions “Come, Let Us Reason Together,” and “Law and Order.” These are trying times and it behooves all men to keep cool heads. Nothing for the permanent good of the nation can be accomplished by vio- lence. And viclence on one. side be- gets violence on the other. Men who advocate violence dishonor their Creator, who endowed mankind with reason. The ad in the Washing- ton paper by Edwin Selvin is un- speakably venomous. But the reac- tionaries all over the land, aided by the kept press, have launched a cam- paign of persecution, deportation, re- pression and oppression against the forces of reform and progress. What we need is more papers like the Non- partisan ‘Leader to combat ignorance, , prejudice and the lies of the subsidized press. G. SNOW. A GOOD BOOSTER Coffee Creek, Mont. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am a subscriber to your paper, and have been since the beginning, and must say that I read every article in it. I have already stopped several papers on account of articles written against the organized farmer. I have been doing my bit in getting subscrib- ers until now nearly every farmer in this county is loyal to your cause. It makes the blood run in my veins to read the lies published by the press and if I had time I would start out or- ganizing myself. Still I feel proud to have such men as Townley and Frazier alive-and doing the greatest - thing yet accomplished. They need not worry, Montana will show herself in 1920. JOHN G. RIEDER. FROM THE EAST Boston, Mass. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: ‘Your splendid paper! Of course I'm with you until we get what you are standing for. You are doing a great work. Admiringly and fraternal- ly yours, JOHN ORTH. BIG HOSPITAL PLAN The province of Alberta, Canada, has begun a system of public hospitals 80 arranged that no home will be more than 35 miles distant from a hospital. .DELAY EXPLAINED 1he Avery company had a little ad- vertisement in the Leader offering to sell toy tractors to our readers, as Christmas presents for the “kids.” Several of our readers have written us that they sent for the toy but did not get it. This is to inform those who wrote for the toy that the Avery com- pany reports to wus it is “snowed under” with the orders of Leader readers, and states that at the time of writing us it was receiving or- ders for the toy at the rate of 1,000 per day. The company asks us to say that it regrets its physical inabil- ity to get out before Christmas all the toys to those who wrote for them, but promises to attend to every order as fast as the staff can handle them.
