COMPLAIN OF fABOYC0TT
Farmers EXCHANGE Kicks
on implement Dealers
Association

Complaints that the members of the
Minnesota Farmers Exchange, an or
ganization formed in St. Paul two
years ago, have been pat on the black
list by some Of the implement dealers
of Minnesota, were fled with Gov.
John A. johnson Tuesday, says the
Pioneer Press of Wednesday.
The farmers complain that the
dealers have formed an agreement not
to sell implements to them and they
wonder where they are going to get
machines to harvest their crop this
fall.
Acting in behalf of the governor,
FrankA. Day, his private secretary,
referred the complaints to Attorney
General E. T Young. with view to
ascertain whether such an agreement
has been formed and If go whether it
lie not in violation of the Minnesota
antitrust law
The complaints are made by branch
counties of Minnesota. The officers
of these exchanges say thev are in
possession of letter written by an
officer of the Minnesota Retail! I'm
plement Dealers association request
ing the members of the association
not to do business with farmers who
belong to the exchange.
The complainants filed with the
governor a copy of the letter, which
they say was written by an officer of
the implement dealers association.
The letter saye among other things !:
Gentlemen: have consulted
with each one of the directors, also
our president and vice president, and
they all take firm stand against job
bers and manufacturers seeking the
trade of implement dealers. selling to
the so-called concerns that are now
bobbing up in different parts of the
state called farmers exchanges We
feel that it is the duty Of jobbers and
manufacturers in implements to pro-
tect the legitimate trade and not sell
those concerns.
The letter closes as follows:
Il hope to receive an answer from
YOU. Your answer will be copied, and
a copy of the same will be furnished
every dealer in the state. Of course,
this letter is written to every iobber
and manufacturer seeking trade in
Minnesota, and the names of those
who do not see fit to answer this letter
will be furnished to all dealers so as
to inform them who are their friends
in the implement trade ..<
A--. - f. tSeas.
In reference to the shove, officers Of
the local Exchange say that the letter
mentioned above was written by T.
F. Murphy, of the firm of Elch &
Murphy. Little Falls. Mr.. Murphy is
secretary Of the Minnesota Implement
Dealers association. It is also said
that the letter contained the statement
that the international Harvester Co.
had agreed not to sell to the ex-
changes. Copies Of the letter came
to the Exchange through dealers
fri=ndly to it. The Exchange has sent
copies of the letter all over the state,
with comment. Interviewed on the
matter, Mr.. Murphy smiled and did
not seem to consider the matter of
moment.

Marion. o., Oct. 20.-Less than
500 people attended the Herrick
meeting here. Lieutenant Cover
nor Harding did not attend the
meeting. Congressman Mouser,
Harding's political enemy and
Governor Herrick composed the
galaxy of Republican magnnestism
and oratory.
In his speech Governor Herrick
said he would not attempt to an.
swer the attacks made on his pri-
vate character by political enem'
les, but asked the voters to inves.
tigate his life. This is new
phase of the campaign and many

He voted and worked hard for
House Bill 584, known as the dir
ect inheritance tax, the most out
rageous and infamous tax measure
since the British Stamp Act
brought on the American Revolu-
tion. Governor H rr k, at
George b. Cox's suggestion, favor
ed the nefarious bill, which was
not taxation but confiscation of
the property of widows and or
| phans, and Cox and Herrick put
their shoulders to the wheel and
with legis' 'ative aid showed it
through. Every man who voted
for the inheritance tax bill should
be defeated. Hooking county
