DEMANDS OF
THE FARMERS
SET Out in Resolutions Adopt
ed by the Farmers Union
This Week.

Following is the legislation
that the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of Amer
lea desires enacted by the nation
al congress:
A law by which all money shall
be issued by and under the di-
rect control of the government,
and all citizens with land collat-
eral shall at all times have the
privilege of borrowing money at
not to exceed 8 per cent. per an
mum.
The immediate issuance of not
less tha. $500, 100000 of legal
tender treasury notes, and the
lending of the same, together
wi h any surplus that may be
in the United States treasury,
direct to the people, to aid them
in marketing the present cotton
crop.
The passage of a law by con-
gress prohibiting the buying and
selling of cotton futures and all
other farm products, or gamb-
ling in agricultural products in
any manner.
The immediate abolition by
congress of the federal bureau
of distribution and the speedy
enactment of laws substantially
excluding the present alien in
fiux by means of an increased
head tax, money requ rement,
the illiteracy test and other meas
ures, in order to prevent the
agricultural sections of the Uni
ted States from becoming a
dumping ground for foreign i'm
migration.
That congress extend the par
cells post, increasing the number
of pounds to be carried in the
mails from four to e'even, and a
reduction in postage from IS
cents to II cents per pound; also
the establishment of a parcels
post system on the mail delivery
routes, carrying a special rate to
be charged on packages origina-
ting on rural routes, the rate to
. IS cents for the first pound, 2
cents for each additional pound
up to the eleven pounds.
The establishment of a postal
savings bank system, as a means
of keeping money at home. aid
inc circulation and guaranteeing
for the farmers a safe deposi-
tory.

THE FARMERS UNION
Farmers Say They Save Mon.
ey on These Transactions,
and the Merchants are
DiSpIpaSed.

A sample of the work of the
Farmers Union is found in the
case of the membership in the
neighborhood of Sturgis, who a
few days ago received, through
their regular arrangement for
such purposes, a solid car load
of flour, which, upon its arrival
at the station. was divided among
them in the proportion which
each had ordered, their wagons
coming to town on the same day
fer the purpose of hauling it
home.
While the merchants, as was
to have been expected, were not
pleased with the arrangement,
the farmers themselves claim to
have saved a good deal Of money
on the transaction.
This, as is suggested, is only
an instance, as many articles Of
groceries and other things are
handled in the same way. The
farmers pay strictly cash for
their supplies, and are thereby
enabled to buy under this special
arrangement for less money than
under the credit system, although
some doubts are expressed, even
among their own members, that
the plan is any better than that
of purchasing for spot cash of
their local merchants, who would
be glad, it is claimed, to make
sales under that plan cores
pondingly low prices.
That the Farmers Union has
grown to be a mighty organiza-
tion in this state was amply
shown by the large attendance
and the deep interest taken in
the state meeting held here last
week.
The perfecting Of the organi-
'zation of a gigantic bank, which
was completed yesterday, with q
capital stock Of S50O,000, and
which is expected to open for
business within the next few
weeks is another evidence Of
the union repose in their organ
