So it has become necessary to make this announcement regarding the }‘eduction in the number of papers go- ing to members and paid fer out of membership fees. It also should be stated frankly that even with the saving thus made the League must have more revenue, especially if adequate political cam- paigns are to be put on in addition to the organization work. So that, in the future, it is going to be necessary to raise League-sustaining and cam- paign funds in addition to the revenue from League dues, most of which goes into the actpal work-of getting mem- bers, leaving nothing for campaign work. / A mass convention of Minnesota League farmers representing every county has metand laid plans for cam- paign funds for the fall campaign, and to create a League organization and sustaining fund in addition to the dues. The Minnesota Leaguers decid- ed to solicit League contributions from Leaguers and League friends able to help, at $100 each. This is merely raising funds as political parties and other organizations raise them—by contributions from leading members and supporters who believe in the cause and are able to-pay more than the small membership fee. These contributions in Minnesota will enable the League, in a measure, to meet the huge slush funds of the enemy. It is not a question of $100 each with them, let alone $16 or $18 each. - The contributions to their funds of dollars. For instance, the Minne-~ sota so-called “Sound Government as- sociation,” which is fighting the farm- ers, has a membership fee, and it en- deavors to get people to join and car- ries on intensive organization work to get members. = But the association spends many times more to get mem- bers than its membership fees amount to,™ It relies wholly on contributions from big corporations and hostile busi- ness men for the big fund it has to. spend in campaigns. The same condi- tions exist, or will exist soon, in all League states. MINNESOTA LEADS WAY TO FINANCE CAMPAIGNS Minnesota has simply taken steps to meet adequately the slush funds amounting to millions of dollars con- tributed by the monopolists and prof- iteers of the state to beat the farmers. The mass convention realized that the fight could not go on with hope of vic- tory unless this was done. This same financing plan necessa- rily must be adopted by the League in all the states where it is organizing if the work in those states is to be car- ried to a successful conclusion. It is simply a plan under which those who | believe in the cause, and are able to contribute more than the small mem- bership fee, aid to the extent they can, without asking help of any one who can not spare at least $100. : In the start of the League organiza- tion it was possible, before the enemy -started counter organization, to organ- ize the farmers, issue the publications” (which for the first three years con= sisted only of the Nonpartisan Leader) and put on good campaigns,” for the" membership fees alone. *Since then a dollar-has depreciated to half its for- Organization work costs work and money necessary towmover- come the counter organization work of the enemy, and to meet in some meas- _ure their huge campaign funds. Their “campaign funds were much smaller before they realized what they had to meet to defeat the League. ™ When the campaign and League-- sustaining funds in any state reach are by thousands and not by hundreds A : g Loeaamadas sufficient amounts to permit exclusive use of membership fees for the orig- inal purpose of organization work and the publications; it will be possible during cgmpaigns to issue the state papers again on a. weekly basis, or oftener when in any state the neces- sary money, in addition to the dues, is: raised.” Thus, ‘if the Minnesota financing plan is successful, as it gives promise of being, the Minnesota Lead- er will appear as.a weekly, or even as a-semi-weekly, during the campaign, if necessary, and it will be distributed to every voter in the state, someéthing hitherto impossible to do on account - of lack of sufficient funds. NATIONAL AND STATE PAPERS WILL ALTERNATE But for the present and until the sustaining funds are raised the state papers will be issued every other week only, and the national magazine will be put on the same basis. The Non- partisan Leader will go to members one week, and the next week the state paper will go to members.” This will be the condition 'in ‘the nine -states where state papers are now establish- ed, and-other states will be given state papers as soon as the size of the mem- bership and the funds in those states justify it. Leaguers will thus get a paper every week, sufficient, except possibly during campaigns, to keep members informed of the work and give all the necessary aid to organiza- tion campaigns: s “THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NON- PARTISAN LEAGUE. : (Signed) S A. C. TOWNLEY, Chairman, F. B. WOOD. WILLIAM LEMKE. DEMOCRATIC ASSESSMENTS Editor Nonpartisan Leader: When I came to Kansas, we in the township elected our assessors. They met and agreed upon valuations in the county. Then we had an equalization board in the state, consisting of the governor, ‘the secretary of state and the auditor, who met and equalized the valuations over the state. i This form of assessment was an adaptation of the theory of the house of commons in England, where all bills of revenue must originate, be- ‘cause the house of commons repre- sented the producer. This form of assessment was. as we understand, democratic. This form also made the township the unit in our state: life. Now this is changed and the govern- or appoints the assessment board and théy appoint the assessors. ' This form of assessment takes the unit of our state life away. from the township -and places it in the hands of the gov- ernor, and consequently in Kansas our government is autocratic instead of democratic. When the township was the unit in our state life, as we un- derstood- it, that was the government of Lincoln and Grant. William = Allen White says .that changes took place in our Civil war and now the state is losing out more and more. But the Kansas state guar- anty case; which was decided in United States district court at St. Paul, and taken to the supreme court of the United States and by it sustained January 3, 1911, decided “that the in- _tern.1 affairs of the state is entirely a state concern.” & From this decision it is plain that ; the war did not take away from the state its own internal concern, but confirme! to the state its state rights. What that war decided ‘was only the secession question.' This is a reason- able view to take of this matter. Therefore~let us go back to the gov- ernment of Lincoln and Grant. . G . CHARLES FERM.
