The present financial situation is largely due to the unfair marketing conditions which can and should be easily remedied by congress, and must be remedied in order to place our main industry, agriculture, on -a business basis. If agriculture is to be encouraged in this or any other state, it. must be made a paying proposition. “Several progressive labor laws were put upon our statute books by the last regular session of the legis- lature. In my opinion these laws; when given a fair chance to be tried out, will not only prove a just benefit to the workers but will also be a bene- fit to the employers and the general public. I recommend that the laws be left unchanged that a fair demonstra- tion of their workings may be had. “Public officials often find that what is right is not the easiest thing to do. In my experience during the past four years I have observed that a great difficulty has been to find men who will do their official duty, to find men with high ideals, men with broad vision, moral, conscientious men, who, by their acts and deeds, will set examples for the betterment of our state. When such men are found they are worth in- finitely more than the state can afford to pay. But, after all, a man’s worth is based upon the services he renders to his fellowmen, rather than upon the salary he receives. “In conclusion, let me again urge that economy and dispatch be your motto; that political prejudices be laid aside; that we have more of the spirit of good will toward our fellowmen and that your action be such that it will have the unqualified approval of your own conscience when the work is fin- ished.” LIKES TOWNLEY SPEECH Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Last spring I ordered some literature from you, among it one dozen copies of A. C. Townley’s speech at the farmers’ and workers’ conference at St. Paul, September 18, 19 and 20, 1917. Last evening I pulled them out of the case and read the speech. I read it over again this evening and I consider it so splendid that I feel it my duty to send in even at this late date my compli- ments to Mr. Townley. We have in Iowa what is supposed to be a farm organization, “The Farm Bureau.” I have always held it was brought into being by the gang who feared a real farm organization, and was not going to take any chance in _having the millennium of Nerth Da- kota swoop down upon their fertile pasture of Iowa. You may listen to our leaders long and often, but you will hear nothing but the same old bogey that’s been handed out for these many years by the daily press and the majority of the farm journals, such as St. Paul Farm-"~ er, Farm and Fireside, Wallace’s Farmer and others, that have long since served their usefulness. Yours for a Nonpartisan league in Iowa. F. A. NEWMAN. Stratford, Iowa. : It is on the basis of the splendid speech of Mr. Townley’s that the anti- farmer gang is trying to send him to jail—THE EDITOR. / FROM A NEW FARMER Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Most of my time I spend in reading the Nonpartisan Leader or the Nebraska Leader, but I do not feel right if only reading it. I must say the Nonparti- san Leader is a paper of good will and Christianity for the common people— a paper that will right the wrongs of profiteering. I hope the Leaguers will win from now on. I just started in farming this year, but will not make any money on ac- count of the big drop in prices. My corn went 25 bushels to the acre, a good crop for this part of Nebraska. The piece in the Leader of November 29 about how the Minneapolis Cham- ber of Commerce controls the farmer’s credit makes lots of farmers under- stand where their money goes. Keep up this good work. I will help you wherever I can. H. W. SCHMIDT. Bloomfield, Neb.
