X THE MONEY TRUST Prepaid & Editor Nonpartisan Leader: For 25 Reference—State Bank of AGENTS years the money trust has kept the __ Commerce, Minneapolis WANTED voters in a state of lost political mo- tion. Regulation of monopolies was incubated for their protection. They have thrived and multiplied under regulatlons If “a private monopoly is intolerable and indefensible” tKen the only way to regulate a monopoly is to own and operate it publicly. Take, for ex§mple, our legalized banking monopoly. The federal bank act regulates this parent monopoly. Under this highly regulated monop- oly the farmers, wage-workers and merchants are as helpless as the vie- tims of the Pueblo flood. The value of their efforts is completely at the will of this money monopoly. The mass of voters should dominate one or both of the old political parties and refuse absolutely to be dominated by those parties. Mere patches or changes of personnel in our money monopoly is of little or no conse- quence. The monopoly itself must be displaced by public ownership -and operation. Its service must be made available at cost. It must be made — . - - | to serve without discrimination as to A New 011 Lamp Free | men or localities.

That was just six years ago. Six yezrs is not such a long time in the life of a man or of an ORDINARY farm paper. But, considering the obstacles to be overcome and the odds to be met, it is a REMARKABLY LONG time for a farmers’ political and economic publication, WHICH DOES NOT PLAY IN WITH THE “POWERS-THAT-BE.” The Leader has only just got a good start, though already it has lived longer than any similar publication. During the next six years the Leader ought to, and with your help will be, of even greater service to American agriculture, In six years, against an original solid wall of opposition, the Leader has been able to convince the business world that it is one of the best, if not THE best, medium reaching farmers in the Northwest and West. While a great many business institutions which use other farm papers for advertising do not use the Leadel;. because they do not like our editorial policy, a large number now regularly ‘do busmess with us, so that getting advertising is not now our CHIEF problem. What, then, IS our chief problem? It is to keep the Leader constantly GROWING in circulation. We realize that the organized power of the farmers must be INCREASED, and believe that one of the BEST ways to increase it is to get the Leader into as many' NEW farm homes as possible. Do you agree to that? To get the Leader read by farmers who are NOT YET organized is the BEST way to get them OR- GANIZED. For that reason, our sixth birthday fihds us spending time and money to extend our circulation among farmers who have not before read the paper. We are succeeding in that, but—unless YOU, who are an old subscriber, keep up YOUR subscription, what good will all the time and effort we are spending in new fields do? How can we increase our circulation and your organized power if, for every NEW reader we get, one of you old subscribers drops out? Don’t make us spend time, effort and money to keep you, who believe in the Nonpar- tisan league and its principles, in the fold. Let us spend that effort in getting new subsecribers! That’s why we are contmually pleading with you to renew your subscription promptly. * * * * * From the letters we get we judge that the series of articles by John Lord, of which the fourth appears in this issue, with others yet to come, has been the most highly valued feature the Leader has contained in many months. “Print the articles in pamphlet form,” several suggested in letters to the editor. “Mr. Lord has given me my first clear understanding of our financial system,” sev- eral others say. The Leader had difficulty in getting a man with the necessary knowledge and experience to write these articles, and when Mr. Lord finally agreed to undertake the task we weren’t sure he could write so plainly and clearly that we who are not financiers or trained economists could understand. But he has made a great success of it! He even enters into the spirit of your organization and speaks as one of us! Leader readers owe a debt to Mr. Lord for explaining so simply the intricate financial facts and problems that every . farmer must understand if he is to act intelligently to get relief. ol * * * * * The harvest is practically over. The returns have been small, it is true. But surely every farmer can spare the small amount of money necessary to - keep his Leader subscription going. Most of you can spare the money to keep League dues pald up, and thus get the Leader along with your membership. Of all times this is the time to keep your fighting arganization fighting. You need the League now more than ever. In the meantime, before the League or- ganizer gets around, send the Leader your subscription renewal which is only $1.50 for one year, or $3 for two years. Thus you will get the paper pending your payment of League dues. When you settle with the League, you will get full credit forswhat you have paid the Leader in subscription money. * * * * * Baer, who drew the cover cartoon for the first issue of the Leader, now, six years later, contfibutes a “sixth bxrthday" cartoon for this issue. Morris, too, drew a birthday cover for us, but since we couldn’t use two cover cartoons on one issue, and because Morris’ drawing was too good to go inside, his birth- day cartoon will appear on the cover of the next issue. It is a boost for the Leader and good on the cover of any issue, regardless of birthdays. * x ok % % Have you found that person in your neighborhood who can act as our cir- culation representative for your vicinity?
