Resolutions by Wood County
Farmers Union

LIST. Being the first county to see
the light of the F. e. and c.. u. of
America, after it's birth, and believ-
ing in its principles, constitution,
and charter, we endorse the efforts
of our delegates to sustain same, and
will ever feel grateful to w. D.
Lewis, and others, for the Waco call,
as We believe it brought to light the
secret methods adopted to disrupt
our noble order, that has been worth
SO much to the toiling people,
I'd. We sincerely regret that it
became necessary for our State off
Gals TO have to reafirm their allie
glance to the F. E. and c.. u. of
America, but after seeing their mis-
take, and the determination of the
loyal membership of Texas, they
came up like heroes, even the Execu-
tive Committeeman, who thought he
had detected the invalidity of our
charter, reaffirmed also.
Sd. We would stand for our Ma
tional organization at all hazards,
and against the new charter
18th. We condemn the chairman
of our executive committee for vio-
lating the instructions of the con-
vention not to use the press or cir
culars to influence the referendum
vote soon to be taken.
9TH. We call upon all loyal Union
men of Texas to do their full duty
in this matter, and never sheathe
their righteous swords until an over
whelming victory is won, for we
know full we'll that secession of the
Texas Union means not only death
to our great order in Texas, but will
seriously cripple our great national
organization.
9Th. We heartily commend our
National officials, who are now in
Washington city, in their efforts to
have wholesome laws enacted for the
farmers of this nation, and especially
do we endorse their efforts to have
the pernicious principles of the cot
ton exchanges eliminated, and the
passage of the parcels-post law.

9Th That we favor the parcels

MARSHALL COUNTY FARMERS
UNION

Dear Sir:-Please find enclosed a
copy of some resolutions passed by
the Marshall County Farmers Union.
Way up here in Kentucky the
Farmers Union is prospecting and
watching her Southern brothers to
see how they will fight for the I'm
ion principles; in fact, live up to the
Golden Rule. We are fighting the
fight here and surely gaining
ground, and send message of God
speed to our brothers over all the
States. We read Hon. Tom Wat
sons books and papers and thank
our lucky star that we have
champion of his mighty power and
intellect to fight our battles, lead
our weak, defeat our enemies, and
confound the treacherous in our
ranks. When our State Union meets
again, this coming summer, we will
make a great effort to have it in
some city and have "Our Tom to
come up once more in "Old Ken
lucky" and through his matchless
eloquence let the tocsin of unionism
be sounded the length and breadth
of the land and let him be answered
once again by the "OId rebel yell"
of day whose memory is fast fad
ing into dim echoes of the past My
father at his death some eight years
ago was follower of Watson. The
last time he ever spoke to me about
him he said Watson is undoubtedly
the smartest man in America today,
but as politician he will fail, for
he is fifty years ahead of the times.
AS a statesman, he will never die;
for as time goes on he will be recog-
niZed, and long after he dies he will
be more honored than today while
living. We read all of his writings
and agree with him on all, mission
aries, unionism and the negro ques-
ton fully. We see so plain that it
looks like the most stupid fool could
not doubt but white man must rule,
and rule the world, and especially
the United States.
Nothing is more disgusting to the
middle class. white people than to
see '..spewings and splutterings" of
lot of educated Weaklings'' of the
country going into blubbering fits
over the condition Of the negroes,
and turn away from the pleadings
of the unfortunate whites; brothers
of their own blood. I have written
too long and will stop. Fight them,
Watson, fight them; and when the
time of necessity comes it, will be
found that the "Rebel Yell' has
been handed down to coming genera
tions of white people,"
With the help of such men as
Watson, Barrett in the national
lead, and r. l.. Barnett, John Grady
and Rev RObt Johnson in the State

REFUSES To ACT
UNDER NEW LAW
Assistant Attorney General Holds
Law Passed BY Legislature Re-
gardlno Bonds Invalid.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. S.--Charles L.
Moore, assistant attorney general
and ex-ofiicio state bond attorney, has
refused to approve any bonds issued
under the provisions of house bill
175 of the special session of 1910,
holding that that act is unconstitu-
tional and invalid.
The act in question, which is on its
face a general one in regard to the
refunding Of municipal indebtedness,
provides that If 1T shall appear that
any such warrants were issued in ex.
cess of the annual revenues and in
come of such city or incorporated
town, then the court which shall be
petitioned for authority to refund
such Indebtedness shall inquire
whether or not such city or incor-
porated town received actual benefit
by way of services or material furn-
ished said city or incorporated town
in payment of which said warrant was
issued, and that the amount so paid
was the fair and reasonable value for
such services or material, and if it
shall be so determined by said court,
then the court shall so state In its
decree, and said decree shall validate
such warrants and permit such city
Or incorporated town to refund the
Indebtedness represented by said war.
rants"
Mr.. Moore holds that this provision
is In direct violation ,,f Section 26 of
Article 10 of the constitution Of the
state, which specifically states that
no municipality is to become indebted
to an amount exceeding its income for
the current year without the assent of
three-tifths of the voters. and that
the increase thus voted shall not ex-
ceed 5 per cent. Inc only exception
allowed by the constitution is in the
case of the purchase of public utili-
ties.

EXPECTED TO GALL
ELECTION soon
It Is Governors 5ounden Duty to Cali
Election on Resubmission Says
Attorney General West.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. S.-That it is
the duty of the secretary of state
whenever an initiative or referendum
petition is accepted and its title de-
cided upon, to notify the governor,
who forthwith shall issue a proclama-
tion setting forth the substance of the
measure and the date for a referen-
dunn vote, is the holding of Attorney
General Charles ]. West in reply to
an inquiry from the governor as to
what course he shall pursue with re-
gard to calling an election upon the
proposed local option and high license
amendment to the constitution and
other measures pending before him un.
der the initiative and referendum.
Several months ago Governor Has
kell stated that he would not call an
election upon the proposed local op-
tion and high license amendment, be.
cause it is a violation Of the enabling
act and therefore void. The anti.
prohibitionists. however, have an
nouced that unless he calls the elec.
tion they will bring mandamus pro-
ceedings against the secretary of state
to have the proposed amendment
placed upon the ballot to be voted up
en- at the general election. Under de-
cisions of the supreme court it has
been held that the governor cannot
be mandamused to perform even a
ministerial duty. but the holding in
the Cross case makes it his duty to
submit amendments or measures when
properly presented to him.

the facts about the forests and water

and child in the nation, but why we
In the United States average 13h
bushels of wheat per acre, instead of
2SA bushels, as they do, in Germany,
land 80 $40 bushels in the United
Kingdom of Great Britain; how this
is making homestead lands scarce,
and prices high, because we only get
half the amount of crops we should
get from the land we have under cul.
tiyation, and consequently the supply
lis getting less every year in proper
lion to the demand. When we find
our production less to the acre each
year and more mouths to
feed, 1t is time every body knew why.
Explain in simple manner that
hand in hand with the profitable de-
velopment of our national resources
must go the development of our wa
|terways and railroads--that there can
be no general prosperity without rail
road prosperity; that our railroads
land waterways are the connecting
links which make our resources avail
able, and that the practical value of
Jour natural resources depends largely
upon the efficiency of our transporta-
ton service.
THE conservation of the national
health deserves to be emphasized
leven when we have under considera-
tion this general subject from purely
a business standpoint. When we con-
slider that tuberculosis alone costs
the people of the state of New York
over two hundred million dollars per
year, and that 1t is a preventable dis
ease, and that two hundred million
annual expense can be practically
saved; that it might be used as capi-
tai to give to millions of people profit

relation of the health movement to
the business interests of the country

tion--a question of managing the
peoples business with the same care
and foresight that we put into private

time SO safeguard the principal that
the people Of these United States may
