The above financial report covers
all the amounts received for dues
and membership fees from local
alliances during the present year
up to date. Most of these amounts
were received at the annual meet
ing, and all has been turned over to
the treasurer and by him paid out
on bills against the State Alliance
from last year.
Now. brother farmers, it is not
enough to form local organizations
and then quit right there, as has
been the case in many instances.
We must keep up our local organiza-
tions, pay our dues as
members and continue to
discuss measures of vital
Importance to our well-being as sue
cessful producers. Conditions in
society are constantly changing
with regard to our interests, which
fact makes it necessary for us to
keep awake and secure all possible
information, which is more easily
obtained through the means of or
ganlzation. No matter what polit-
ical party we may give our prefer
ence, as farmers we have common
interests, and as such we should all
work together. Some people, it is
true, are narrowminded and bigoted
as to this or that party, the same
as to this or that religious doctrine.
For my part, 1 believe there are
good men with good intentions in
all parties. The main difference is
as to the means by which to obtain
desired results, and as to be sure
what those results should be, it is
well to keep in mind that in any
country where the capital and the
few have the controlling power in
government there is always immi-
nent danger ahead; and that a
country is happy and prosperous in
proportion to the prosperity of the
industrial classes which constitute
the common people.
No doubt, every man with noble
heart will of hi mself come forward
and offer his assistance when he
finds it is required to promote the
general good of our country, and it
was for this purpose the Alliance
was originally formed which is rea-
son enough to keep it up working
in that direction. Should it again
be found by any one that the ALI
ance is not on the right track with
reference to this or that matter,
take up your pen, write letter to
this paper, and state therein your
suggestions.
