L Raps Farm Bureaus Reader Says Farmers Can’t Con- e trol Them 7] DITOR Nonpartisan Lead- er: I am reading the letters in your valuable paper about the Farm Bureau. Now I would like my say. I fully ap- prove the stand that W. C. Lang takes. Now I want to ask the Bureau ' enthusiast-a few questions that I have not been able to solve. - : Who handed the Farm Bureau to us? Do you think that a real farm organization could become nation- wide overnight, like the Bureau? In what way has the Bureau helped the farmer? Why is it that the farmer is worse off and is robbed more both sell- ing and buying than he ever was in spite of a nation-wide farmers’ organ- ization? Why is it that some of our richest and most prominent business men consider it below their dig- nity to mow their own lawn, or put on or take off a storm window, but it was not below their dignity to be leaders in a mob gang to tar and feather Non- partisan organizers or farmers? * - Why was it that when the Bureau was_ introduced that these self-same gentlemen went among the farmers and told them that every other line of business men organized and the farm- ers ought to be organized and every self-respecting farmer ought to join the Bureau? What would the bank- ers’, lawyers’, doctors’ or any other organization say if we farmers told them that they should not have cer- tain men for office? What would any class of people say if we farmers for- bade them to organize, broke up their meetings and tarred and feathered their organizers and speakers? What would the railroad magnates, bankers ‘ and manufacturers say if we farmers r: S = am told them “their organization is no R ; : \ 3 . DI 6.2\ S good, disloyal, unpatriotic and un- American, but we have an organiza- tion for you if you join that you will be a 100-per-cent patriotic American and you will get a square deal and prosper, and the beauty of this organ- ization is that it’s nonpolitical—just think how lovely it is to belong to an organization that is nonpolitical 2” What would they say? ; - Some people say if we all join the Bureau we can get control of it. Don’t you ever think for one minute that you can beat a man at his own game. At the present time there is only one farmers’ organization where we can| - look for relief and justice and that is the Nonpartisan league. I say, join the Nonpartisan league and the Nonpartisan league only. Stick and boost for it. It is our only. salvation. If the farmers unite and join one organization big business is done skinning them. They know that. They know they can’t kill the League by force, so they try other schemes. -A number of years ago I saw a ear- Here is your opportunity to win a prize.
