There are so many damnable lies going the rounds of the subsidized press about the League that I am de- sirous of getting the truth. There- fore I assume your paper will en- lighten me on the League program and doubtless will be able to circulate it among others whom it will also en- lighten. y The time is certainly opportune for the farmers to organize in this cor- poration-ridden state and endeavor to secure proper legislation for them- selves. The farmers here as else- where are at the mercy of the Great Western Sugar company, the packers, ‘the milling trust and other legitimate thievés. And until they free them- selves from the-tentacles of these hu- man vultures they will continue to be as they are today—unorganized, dis- qualified and financially embarrassed. Canon City, Col. H. C. HILL. LET’S ORGANIZE Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Igode a little way with a farmer here who has two big stacks of hay to sell. He was swearing about the government allowing the railroads to increase the freight rates.so. He said that the government was robbing the farmers and giving it to the railroad workers. I told him that the railroad workers were organized and in a. position to enforce it and if the farmers would organize that they could be as strong. I believe if the unions everywhere will hold up wages that it will help greatly 40 force the farmers to organize. These low prices for their products after they cost so much to raise is surely making them mad. J. E. McCONNELL. Pingree, Idaho. As a matter of fact only about 20 cents on every dollar of increased rail- road rates has gone to the railroad workers. But Mr. McConnell is dead right as to the need for farmers to or- ganize—THE EDITOR. WANT LEAGUE IN VIRGINIA Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I was an old member of the Nonpartisan league in the state of Montana. Let me tell you that the farmers here are beginning to hear about the League. I am sending you a clipping, the edi- torial part of the Daily Progress of * Charlotteville, Va. Some of the kept press in this state are starting their dirty games but some of our promi- nent farmers have been investigating the League and have brought back very favorable reports. Virginia .is solely an agpicultural state and once the League gets a footing here ‘it will come to stay..Dear comrades, set the ball %o rolling. - g WALTER K. WEBB. Proffit, Va. - “KEEP-UP GOOD ‘WORK” Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I want " 10 tell you how much I appreciate your (and our) paper. It brings quite a re- lief after reading the Kansas City Star telling how the League is dead and how it has ruined a state. Well, I-would like to live in a state with that kind of a governor and govern- ment. I sincerely hope the good work will go on and big business will not be able to defeat us. : ; CHARLES A. MIKSCH. _ . Oswego, Kan. FROM OKLAHOMA Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Please publish the following resolution, which shows the attitude of the farmers of Oklahoma- toward the Esch-Cummins law: “Whereas, the Esch-Cummins law guaranteeing the railroads a 6 per cent return upon their capital stock is absolutely dishonest, un-American and a wanton betrayal of the American people, the Pleasant Valley local of the Farmers’ Educational and Co- Operative Union of Anrerica requests the Oklahoma delegation ‘in congress " to secure the repeal of the Esch-Cum- mins law or resign. “Carried unanimously.” A OWSLEY LONERGAN. Pawnee, Okla. - THE TRUTH WINS Editor Nonpartisan Leader: That article in the Leader of March 21 en- titled, “Getting the Truth About the League,” dealing with what a Kansas investigating committee found about the organized farmers of North Dako- .ta and their leaders, is the greatest article of defense of the League that I ever saw. It should be put in pam- phlet form and contain the photo- graphs of the committee as large as they are in the paper of March 21. I have been showing that article all day and there was a great many who thought it should be put into pam- phlet form. If you conclude to do it I want 50 as soon as they are off the press. H. N.
