An old Pennsylvania German living

APPoRTIoNMENT QUESTION.

The present apportionment accorded

has been q law since the Fourth legis.

votes EAST in the election of 1894,
which all will recall was the year OF

The farmers will send petitions to
their congressional representatives
asking that the bill be extended to
prohibit all kinds of grain.
The Good of the Order Committee
IN it's report, urged the farmers to
adopt union label, and to use it on
all products sent to market. This
method they said would be a long
step to ward the control of the market
by the farmer.
Suggestions were submitted for
financing plans now under way. by
which the farmers will be able to con-
troll the market price Of their COM
modities.
FOLK ATTACKS HIGH TARIFF
The injustices of the Aldrich- Payne
tariff tax on the farmer was the sub
ject of an address before the conven-
tion by Governor Joseph w. Folk.
He opposed the proposed tariff COM
mission and declared the people of
the United States should decide for
tariff for revenue rather than for
protection. The latter, he said, was
but legalized graft.
Mr.. Folk said he saw no reason why
the manufacturer should be granted
through tariff "a reasonable protit'
as the government does not guarantee
the farmer, the lawyer, the doctor or
the banker ''a reasonable profit. y
He urged there should be no property
rights inconsistent with public rights
in our government.
Mr.. Folk said in part:
''The fight of the farmer is not to
obtain privileges for himself, but to
keep others from securing privileges
at his expense. All that the farmer
asks is an equal opportunity to live
and labor and enjoy the fruits of
honest toll. That he has suffered as
much or more than any other class by
reason of the granting of government
al favor to favored few, no one can
deny.
"Everything the farmer sells is in
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-06-01

competition with all the world; on
everything he buys he is forced to pay
heavy tariff tax. The people have
commenced to awaken to the injustice
of the tariff schedules as brought
home to them by the recent Aldrich
Payne tariff act. The resentment of
the consumer has become so general,
and has reached such proportions
that plans are now on foot to lull the
people to sleep again by tariff COM
mission.
"Witb due respect to those ho
advocate such a commission, I do not
believe that this move is in the inter
est of the people. Who is asking for
a tariff commission? Certainly not
the consumers, or how can they hope
for relief through commission con-
trolled by the protective interests, as
judging from experience such com
mission would be. Why do the bene-
ticiaries of tariff privileges favor the
ideas cf tariff commission?
EASY TO CONTROL COMMISSION
cit is plain they desire to take the
tariff question out of the peoples
hands, because they can, to say the
least more easily control commission.
Taking the tariff out of politics sounds
we'll, but what does such move mean
other than taking it out of the hands
of the people? If the people are in
competent to pass upon the tariff
question, by what process of reason
ing can it be assumed that they are
competent to determine other ques-
tions? If this question should not be
in politics, what question is there
that should be in politics?
eff the protective tariff benefited
all alike no one would want it. 1t is
because it gives tC a class a privilege
denie1 to the consumers and farmers
of the country, that these few clamor
for it and it is for this reason the
consumers submit to this injustice. -
The plan in general is to bring
about such a unity of purpose be-
tween the farmers and laboring men
that party lines will be obliteiated
or. as Mr.. Gompers expressed it.
"We want partisans to principle
and not to party

The Farmers Union convention,
which was held recently, in the St.
Louis Coliseum, closed after success
full series of meetings, during which
the plan of Samuel Gompers to CO
operate with the American Federation
of Labor was indorsed, a speech on
conservation by Pres. Taft, made a
requst for inland reclamation in a
memorial TO Congress framed and
during which some of the country s
most prominent political ms and farm.
ers spoke.
The Farmers Union, in executive
session, adopted mem orial to Con-
gress asking for an appropriation of
$3.50, ZOO to begin the reclamation of
the $4,000, 900 acres of swamp lands
in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee.
Louisiana and Mississippi. The
farmers declared that il the lands were
drained they would provide homes for
1,50O,000 farmers, and in as much as
the National Government is in sole
control of the lands, Federal co-opera-
tion with the five affected states is
necessary for reclamation.
Each United States senator and
congressman from the five states
mentioned will be communicated with
by the officers OF the Farmers Union
and asked to support bill for the
$3.50, 900 appropriation.
The report of the committee on
statistics showed that the Farmers
Union, through its industrial insti-
are owned, controlled and operated
by memb bers of the union, is doing an
annual business OF more than 500,
900, 900 in the thirty-tive states where
the union exists.
The report of the legislative COM
mittee, of which President Barrett is
a me- Der, included statement of
congress, showing his vote of agri-
cultural bills.
FRANCIS DISCUSSES FINANCE
Former Governor David R. Francis,
in his address before the Farmers
convention discussed swollen fortunes.
He said in part:
81 desire to commend the generos-
ity and broadmindedness of the pro-
jectors of this convention, which
have so wisely and considerably
extended the invitations to speakers
representing every section and every
inter est. 1t is only by an interchange
of views that we can understand the
view points of those whose interests
we think clash with ours, and in this
often by such expressions OF beliefs
or opinions that apparent differences
and antagonisms are reconciled and
dissipated.

to preserve an equilibrium Of laws so
encouraging and so restrictive and so
in harmony with that spirit of in
dependence and indivldualism that
underlies and supports our institutions
as to permit and promote uniform
and healthy development and pro-
gress. The time and thought and
money that has been devoted to edu-
cation has produced able and well
equipped defenders and champions of
every interest.
The Farmers Union, in executive
session, agreed to cooperate with the
American Federation OF Labor along
industrial lines for the future good of
both organizati ons.
The agreement as reached by the
farmers was the result of several
days. conference between representa-
tives of the uni on and Samuel Comp
ers, President of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, and the proposition
will be put up to the latter organiza
tion for ratification when the labor
men meet in convention in st. Louis
in September.
Representatives of both farmers
organization and the labor forces
declare that the cooperative working
plan as reached among the farmers
has no political tinge, but is solely
for industrial protection and co-opera-
tion.
FARMERS PLAN COOPERATION
A plan looking to closer co-opera-
tion between the Farmers Union and
the American Society of Equity was
reported feasible, and some definite
action looking to consolidation Of the
two organizations in the marketing OF
farm products was taken.
The Farmers Union adopted me-
mortal to Congress asking for an ap-
preparation for the extensive publica
tion and circulation of the report of
the Country Life Commission, ap-
pointed two years ago by Roosevelt.
But small issue of the report has
been printed by the department OF
agriculture, owing to the lack of an
appropriation. The farmers say the
report contains favorable comment on
their attitude against the continuance
of speculation in farm products and
they want the report printed for cir
culation.
Members of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union, at
the Planters Hotel indorsed the re
ports of the legislative and good OF
the order committees.
The Legislative Committee propos-
ed that steps be taken to urge Con-
gress to insert grain clause in the
bill now under consideration. for the
prohibition of speculation in cotton.
