STATES ITS POSITION
National Board A. S. of E.
Defines Itself
REGARDING ISSUE OF PAPER
All Necessary is That 20
900 Members Pay Their
Dues Promptly.

The National Board of Directors Of
the A. S. of L. makes the following
signed statement through the Equity
Farm Journal:
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. :, and Q,
1908 .-To the Local, County and State
Union of the A. S. of E.-Greeting:
LIST. The great American Society Of
Equity is safe in the hands Of your
national officers and board of direc-
tors, consisting of the State Presi-
dents.
%. We have inspected the national
office and the work of Secretary
Treasurer o. d. Pauley and approve
highly his business methods of con-
Quoting our national headquarters. He
is wise, economical and efficient in all
his worl: in our national office, and
We have every reason to believe that
better results in the matter of keep
ing records, etc, will be accomplished
during the coming year than hereto
fore, and at much less cost.
Cd. In the past we have found that
the most successful and effective
campaigns or organizations have been
instituted and conducted within the
boundaries of the various States as a
unit and directly under the super
vision of a director of organization
and the state Union officials, there
fore We realize the importance of
preserving and unfolding our State
Unions, and we urge our membership
to support their State officers, finan-
cially and otherwise, so that We can
justly demand of them even greater
results than heretofore.
4th. We find that if 10000 men,
bers will pay their 1908 dues before
the first of April the A. S. of T., can
own and publish their own official
paper, which would be worth about
$4,000 to the members of the So
ciety. We find further that If a rea-
sonablo amount of good clean adver-
Using is carried in the paper it will
be a source Of from $4,000 to $780, 900
additional income, which has during
the last years gone TO the publisher
of the official organ. Therefore We
urge the members in all sections to
pay up their dues promptly and thus
become the owners of the paper.
9Th. Every member will receive the
official paper-Equity Farm iJoilrnai.
We will make this the best farmers
paper In America paper by the
farmers and for the farmers, .t1 ...
9Th. afThis board of directors pledges
the members that every dollar re-
eeived by the national union will be
used to give efficient service at head
Quarters TO publish the best official
PAPER possible, and to, carry on anyag-
gfessive eampaigns OF organization.
Not one dollar will be used for 9miE-
