FARMERS APPOINT COMMIT.
TEE ON TAXATION QUESTION

At the public meeting of home
steaders held Saturday last to
take up the taxation question
and other grievances on the Flat
head project in Missoula county,
a committee of five were appoint
ed to take the necessary action
with regard to the situation.
This committee, consisting of
]. F. Olson, chairman, C. l..
Peden, Frank Doser, j. S. Nc
Ney, and John Thirkell, secre-
tary, met on the 9th inst. and
have taken the required prelim-
mary steps towards obtaining
relief. 1t was resolved at the
public meeting that every home
steader on the reservation be
assessed SO cents and requested
to contribute same to defray any
necessary expenses, and to pay
same to any member of this COM
mittee. In the meantime every
homesteader on irrigated units is
advised to delay payment of
taxes to as late a date as possible
and then make payment under
protest. The committe expects
to report progress very soon.

COLUMNS OPEN
TO CANDIDATES

In another column of this paper will
be found the paid advertisement of
the Democratic Central Committee,
advocating the election of Frank Mel
son as county commissioner. The
advertising columns of the Pioneer
have been open to all candidates and
to all parties; this paper has not re-
strlcted its columns to any particular
person or party; it has endeavored
to be fair, but at the same time it
holds firmly to the principle that it
has right to criticise any party or
candidate, and will not allow the pat
ronage of any candidate or party to
swerve it nor warp it's personal pre-
ference.
The advertisement referred to calls
attention to the fact that the Pioneer
has criticised Frank Nelson and that
statement is true. 1t does criticise
him as an official and believes that he
should not be reelected. This belief
is founded on the fact that he has
occupied the office for six years; that
he has not been fair to all sections
OF the county; that he has allowed his
feelings to warp his Judgment and
that such action has cost the taxpay
ers more than it should; he has paid
more for the county printing bv from
70 to 30 per cent of the gross total
than it should have; that his
prejudice against everything outside
OF Missoula prevented him from doing
his full duty as an official in this re-
spect. That he has begrudgingly
done what little road work that has
been done on the reservation; that he
has made political capital out of what
he has done when it was no more than
an official should have done, and not
as much as should have been done at
that; that the only road he has at
tempted to make on the reservation
is that of the main highway between
Roman and Missoula, that tourists and
automobiles would have a good road
w "''N> VII iol piedSuIt, Ignoring the
farming section and compelling them
to GO without ample roads to market
their products or to work the roads
at their own expense. He has COM
planned OF the amount of money payed
in as taxes from the reservation. full
well knowing that many of the settlers
here had very little to pay with or
on and at the same time has never
said word about the expense in other
sections of the county, where much
more money has been expended than
here, and where the urgent necessity
was not so great.
This is the criticism which the Pho
neer has to offer against the re-elec-
tion of Mr.. Nelson. 1t is not against
him personally but against him Of
flclally, and no officer has any reason
to feel aggrieved because his official
acts are not approved.
Twelve years is too long a period
to retain an official who has so much
power over the roads, the finance and
the other official business of the coun-
ty. He has served six years and that
should be long enough.

THE FARMER
AND PRINTER

pdpCl, 1Ol WlIIlOuC Hill We WOuIC
be living in a deaf and dunk
asylum. We are always asking
favors of the local editor, but
what do we give him in return
A measly $500 for subscription,
and if he fails to give us proper
credit for having the biggest
pumpkin at the county fair, we
stop the paper; we kick because
the editor refuses to roast the
local merchant for failing to buy
our products; we expect him to
fight the banks and railroads in
the interest of the farmer, all the
while forgetting that the news
paper cannot live without rev.
enue. How can we expect the
editor to attack those who fill his
advertising columns unless we
make him independent of such
patronage? Farming is the big
gest business in the world, but
single maker Of chewing gum
spends more money in adver-
tising than all the farmers COM
bined. If advertising makes
business, Of very doubtful char
acter, profitable, why cannot we
use it to help farming, the most
substantial business in the world ?
The chief problem now con-
fronting the farmer is proper
disposition of his products, and
this is the particular field in
which advertising counts. 1t
would be sheer folly for each
farmer to spend money in adver-
tising what he has to sell, but
through cooperation we could
adopt scientific and profitable
method of newspaper publicity,
which would bring direct results
and also enable us to give SUBJ
stantial help to our friends, the
newspaper men.
Cooperation implies joint ac-
tion by those having a common
purpose or common interest, and
this community of interest be-
tween the farmer and the coun-
try newspaper has been shown
recently by the action of both in
opposing the proposed workmen's
compensation law, which law
will tax both the country news
paper and the farmer to supply
new horde of office holders,
while both the farmer and the
country editor are excluded from
the benefits Of the bill.
If farmers are to secure sup
port from the local press, made
logical by the interests which we
hold in common with the press,
we must cooperate with the ed
itor by giving him financial sup
port; moral support is good in a
way, but it won't buy potatoes.
| have been issuing these let
ters on cooperation with the
ultimate purpose of forming a
statewide federation of all farm
organizations, with live depart
ment to form new locals in places
where farmers have not yet Or
ganized. have hoped to carry
on this campaign of education to
a certain point before calling a
statewide meeting, but other
parties, also interested in pro-
noting cooperation among farm
ers, have called such a meeting
to be held at Great Falls, Novem-
Der 18th, and to avoid any pos
sible confusion or conflict in this
matter, am going to ask all my
friends of cooperation to attend
the meeting at Great Falls on
November 18th. We cannot
afford to imperil the cause for
any personal or selfish reason.
