Democratic County Platform

1.-The democratic party Of Stevens

progressive principles Of the democratic
party as enunciated for years by that
great commoner. William jennings
Bryan and on this birthday anniversary
Of the father Of democracy In this
nation we pledge ourselves to renewed
efforts to secure a progressive democ-
racy-a government for .nd by ALL
the people.
I'VE glory in the good work which
has been done for the interest Of the
people by the democratic house of rep
resentatives. and denounce the spirit
Of reaction which caused the veto Of the
reduced tariff bills and the farmers
free list bill.
with the knowledge that the demo-
cratic party Is the only party today
which has kept Its pledges when in
power We demand that the party be
given the opportunity to pass progress
sive legislation and see 1t enscted with
out the veto power Of Wall street
sympathizer.
I'VE recommend that tire Stevens
county delegation to the state conven-
tion be instructed to vote for national
delegation from this state which viii
work and vote for the nomination Of
q progressive democrat to head the
ticket Of 1912.
I'VE favor the abolition Of the un-
necessary and expensive commission
systems which are now being used in
this state for political en.ls; the sub
mission Of a prohibitory amendment to
the voters. as advocated by the last
state platform; the conservation Of the
state's resources by this state for the
beneht Of the people Of this state. as
opposed to the plan Of national conser-
walton Of our resources for the benefit
Of eastern monopoIies; snd the opening
to settlement Of the states school lands,
to relieve part Of the present sx-
. orbitant burden Of state tAxAttop.

Having in mind the experiences of
many presidential campaigns, still we
find ourselves staggered by the cool
assurance with which the Massachusetts
Roosevelt committee has put forth this
public utterance:
"Tafts deeds have been done In the
name Of the people, but largely for the
benefit of the special interests"
What are 1.-The interests?" Everybody
knows. Consider the biggest and most
powerful of the lot--the steel trust and
the immense financial. industrial and
speculative attachments OF the concern.
The steel trust IL not only q btllioH-
dollar corporation that dominates the
iron and steel business Of the United
States. that has crushed trade unionism
and pays five per cent dividends on an
enormous volume Of common stock that
originally represented not one dollar OF
invested capital; the steel trust has ss
directors and officers who are also d.
rectors in other corporations represent
ing roughly more than IS billions of
dollars.
The particular big interest" of
which the steel trust 10 the core thus
embraces railroads with a capitalixa-
tion and bonded indebtedness Of more
than six billions Of dollars. and the
alliance between the railroads and the
steel trust through this system Of In
terlocking directorates means business
for the trust In orders for steel rails.
steel cars and all sorts Of equipment
amounting to Thousands and thousands
Of tons each year.
The particular big interest" OF
which the steel trust IL the core thus
embraces also other Industrial concerns
with a capitalization and bonded in
debtedness OF nearly three billions of
dollars; steamship, street railway. ex-
press and telegraph companies with q
capitalization and bonded indebtedness
Of more than one billion dollars; and.
finally, banks and trust companies In
various parts Of the country with total
capital. surplus, deposits and undivided
profits of more than three billions Of
dollars
Figures SO stupendous are beyond the
power of the human mind to grasp In
their utmost Significance. These are
drawn from the reports Of the steel
trust investigation committee Of the
national house Of representatives. and
no one will for a moment dispute that.
IL there are big interests" the United
States steel corporation now leads and
dominates the entire pack.

term in ONCE, could not afford to dis

wealth and power. and be 1t said that he

either, and whenever possible his ad-
'ministration has made show Of "pros-
ecution" Of trusts. That the trusts are
not convicted Is claimed not to be his
fault-probably the weather was at
fault, or his attorney general had bad
cold for the last three years.
The Massachusetts, republicans OPEN
ly charge Taft with fsvoring the "in-
terssts" and they are certainly In q
position to know.

The Industrial Insurance commission
adjusted the claims Of surviving rela-
tives and dependents. according to the
terms OF the compensation law, and al
lowed an aggregate Of about $4,000.
The commission proceeded to issue
warrants to these claimants at q small
rate per month. These warrants were
paid by the state treasurer SO long as
the 3270 held out Then payments
ceased.
The commission continues to issue
warrants in small sums to the claim
ants. The state treasurer refuses to
cash them.
Inquiry by the claimants as to how
they shall get their money elicits the
advice. in writing from the state treas
urer that the warrants must be cashed
by the powder trust.
The powder trust refuses to cash
these warrants or to pay any money
whatever into the compensation fund.
The attorney general refuses to bring
suit against the powder trust to force
the payment Of these warrants and other
moneys claimed to be due from the
trust to the compensation fund.
The justices Of the state supreme
court refuse to order the attorney gen
eral to bring such an action. or any
action whatever against the trust.
So here we are right back where we
started.
A sympathetic newspaper tells Of the
courts decision under a caption THE
Court Stands Pat" so does the attor-
ney general, and the insurance COM
mission, and the powder trust. They
all stand pat. Meanwhile the supposed
benefciaries Of Governor Hays humane
and enlighted legislature continue to
receive the absolutely worthless war
rants of the state. and none Of the stand
patters care to offer any suggestion for
relief. Bear in mind. however. that the
salary warrants Of all those connected
with the administration Of the law are
good as gold. 1t Is only the working

Absolutely False.

Some party or parties have ma
liciously circulated the report that
l voted for the Single Tax at the
recent election. This report is alb
solutely false. l was opposed to the
Single Tax from the beginning;
voted against it at the November
election and would oppose it again
if the opportunity presented itself.
At the precinct in which l voted
only one vote was cast for the Sim
gle Tax and the judges and clerks
well know who cast it.

The farmers and land owners OF
Missouri should not forget who
were their stauncheSt friends in the
recent peril which threatened Them
in the single tax proposition. The
best friend they had and the head
OF the fighting ccolumn was the
press, sthe weekly newspaper. Mr..
Silvers who was at the head of the
anti single tax league states public
ly that of the 700 newspapers in
Missouri (rural papers) very few
failed to line up against the single
tax. It's so on nearly every propo-
sition. When danger threatens
along any line the country newspa-
per is the first to enter fight and the
last lay down the sword. The farm
ers and land owners should appreci-
ate this fact and SHOULD give the
country newspaper. mot only their
moral support, but give it their f.
nancial support by subscribing and
paying up their Subscription. This
due the editors and will show the
appreciation which the editor is
certainly entitled too Clarence

Just before gathering the crop

lect the top ear from large stalks
which produce two ears. began
this method five years ago. and was
rather surprised the following year
to find that nearly half the crop
produced two ears to the stalk, and
sometimes three were found. That
fall we went over the field and
where we found three ears, selected
the top one and saved it for seed.
BY so doing we now have corn that
will average two good ears to each
stalk:-Farm and Home.
