It is because your government is controlled by-financial interests and is not controlled by farming interests. The farmers make up 40 per cent of the population, but they do not control 1 per cent 6f government. The farmers will never control, or even influence government untll they are organized, and unless they read pubhcatlons that tell them the truth. Read These Facts Flrst While the farmers are better organized today than they - have ever been, they are not nearly so well organized as the Canadian farmers, and they are not well enough orgamzed to be effective. A great many of the farm organizations are just social clubs—county . picnic affairs. These organizations stand for nothing that will hurt anybody, and hence they stand for noth- ing that will help anybody—at least not themselves. Some of -the farm organizations are actually favor- -ed and assisted by Big Business. But you never heard of Big Business ° That’s because the League is a real farmers’ or- ganization. ‘Tt is fighting for things that DOLLAR will actually get the farmer somewhere. o tor the. aek The Nonpartlsan Leader is a fighting paper. The grain gainblers don’t like the Leader. The big financial interests don’t These big interests don’t want the MINDS of farmers dlsturbed by a paper like the Leader. ; - Their idea of a good farmer is a farm- er who raises all the crops he can, who sells at threshing time subscription. . for what he can get, and who does not meddle w1th pohtlcs or the running of the goyernment. A good slave was a slave who never complained, so a good farmer, in the eyes of the modern financial lord, is a farmer who works hard, raises much; takes what is given him and }mtes for the pohtlca] party 'Whlch the men of affairs select or him. Now, if that’s the kind of a farmer YOU are, you don’t ~ want the Leader, because the Leader is telhng you every issue to do just the opposite thing. - e - ADDRESS AN ENVELOPE >t ; Z P NONPARTISAN LEADER : _Box 2072, Minneapolis, Minn. eeciaebeeiecsascaseessesseneresanseatmmsmecssnsessneteAnnttatatannan s cean s et naenn ey IMPORTANT! lf you want Russell’s “Story of the Nonparti- an League’ with your subscription, ADD ONE DOLLAR to yonr remittanee making ONE year'’s subsulption and nd TW 'l‘l|et I:lnok is clbth bound, large clear type, illus- trate for ONE DOLLAR, if ord by TWO YEARS’ sllbneriptlon Now we offer it “for ONE DOLLAR with either one or two-year But_this- bedrock offer can not last long. ‘Add & DOLLAR and get the book! The Nonp'artisah Leader, Box 20;72‘,_ Mihneapolis; Minn. Then- Read This and Act In this northwestern country we have built a great farm- : ers’ organization. The League is a fighting organization. We are not fighting merely because we LIKE to fight. We are fighting because we HAVE TO FIGHT to get ANYWHERE. Bankers TALK SWEET: about the farmers, but charge 8 per cent and a commission. Politicians make promises, but prom- ises don’t pay freight rates and mortgages. Pre&udents sympathize and write nice sentences about the % ., farmers. But fair words don’t lift the farmers’ burdens. Farmers will not get anythmg from government until they or- ganize and go into the government busi- ness themselves. This is what the Leader has been saying to you since the day it was started. Has the Leader made any impression on yeur mind? Has the Leader waked you up enough so that you want to go on reading it? Are you wide enough awake to renew your subscription to the Leader without an agent or salesman com- ing to your place and urging you to do it? Will you ‘subscribe YOURSELF, by YOUR- SELF, and FOR YOURSELF? . This is a fair test of YOU. The~Leader has done ITS PART. It has never failed to speak the truth. It is up to YOU to do your PART.
