CHARLEsTo ON, w; Va Jan. 13.-
Outlining an extensive program OF
progressive legislation, which he
hopes to have enacted at the presentj
session, Governor Henry D. Hatfield
today sent out his first biennial mes.
sage the West Virginia . legislature
In his message the Governor deals at
length with the general conditions OF
the State and calls attention to tho
laws he desires enacted, except those
relating to the States finances. spe:
cial messages will later be deliyered
onEtaxations and finances, I'm which the
Governor will max his recommenda-
tions to meet the deficit in the State
treasury, and on the Virginia Debt
suit, which Is pending in the Supreme
Court Of the United States.
Five amendments TO the State Con-
'stitution are recommended by Govs
ernor Hatfield and a score Of new;
laws are included in his program,
while there are numerous amend.
ments to existing laws which the Exs
,ecutiye would have placed on the
statute books. s.t
Though depending upon the mem.
bership Of the legislature In general
to adopt laws he points out as need
ed, Governor Hatfield putssit squarelys
up to the Republican members, who
are largely in the majority in both
branches, to carry out their platform
pledges declaring that ."'he who fails
to recognize the progressive spirit
Of our party and takes the recent vic:
tory as an endorsement Of reaction
ary{ policies, has failed to appreciate
the trend and spirit Of our loyal con-
stituency.ss

The Holly chieftain., 1915-04-02

The farmers of Missouri In the last
election, by an overwhelming ma
jority, swept this law off the statute
book Of that state. and 1t should
come of OF all statute books where
1t appears and no legislature Of this
nation should pass such q law or
similar legislation which requires un-
necessary expenditures.
The same rule applies to all regu-
latory measures which increase the
expenses Of industry without giving
corresponding benefits to the public.
There Is ofttimes . body Of men as
sembled at egislatures-and they
have . right to be there-who. In
their zeal for rendering their fellow.
associates q service, sometimes favor
an increase in the expenses Of in.
dustry without due regard for the men
who bow their backs to the summers
sun to meet the payroll, but these
committees. while making . record
for themselves, rub the skin of the
shoulders Of the farmer by urging the
legislature to lay another burden
upon his heavy load and under the
lash Of "be It enacted" goad him on
to pull and surge at the traces Of civil
ization, no matter how he may sweat,
foam and gall at the task. When
legislatures "cut . melon for labor
they hand the farmer q lemon.
The farmers Of the United States
are not financially able to carry dead
heads" on their payrolls. Our own
hired hands are not paid unless we
have something for them to do and
we are not willing to carry the hired
help of dependent industries unless
there is work for them. We must
therefore insist upon the most rigid
economy.
Legislative House. Cleaning Needed.
While the war is ON and there is q
lull In business. we want all legisls-
tive bodies to take an inventory Of
the statute books and wipe OF all
extravagant and useless laws. A good
house-cleaning is needed and econo-
mics can be instituted here and there

A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
ey Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers' Unio,

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer is the paymaster of
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll. When industry
pays its bill it must make a sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount,
which the farmer Is compelled to
honor without protest. This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways OF COM
merce: may build cities; girdle the
globe with bands of steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies. but in the end it
Will rest upon the soil. No dollar
will remain suspended In nidair; 1t is
rs certain to seek the earths surface
as an apple that falls from tree.
When q farmer buys plow he pays
the man who mined the metal, the
woodman who felled the tree. the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped 1t into an ar
ticle Of usefulness. the railroad that
transported It and the dealer who
sold him the goods. He pays the
wages Of labor and capital employed
In the transaction as well a. pays
for the tools. machinery, buildings,
ETC., used in the construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles Of use and diet of him-
self snd those engaged In the sub.
sidiary lines Of industry.
There is no payroll in civilization
that does not rest upon the back
Of the farmer. He must pay the bills
all Of them.
The total value Of the nations
annual agricultural products 10 around
12.000. .000. 900. and 1t Is safe to esti-
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses Of sub
sfdiary industries. The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the days toll he
devotes to meeting the payroll Of the
hired hands of agriculture. such as
the manufacturer, railroad. CONNER
ciai and other servants.
The Farmers Payroll and How He
Meets Il.

approximates $12.006.000,000. A por-

aloag the line will add to the pros
perity of the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothe the world.
II any of these industries have sur
plus employees we can use them on
the farm. We have no regular
schedule Of wages, but we pay good
farm hands on an average Of 31.5O
per day of thirteen hours when they
board themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year and the
three months dead time. they can do
the chores for their board. II they
prefer to farm on their own account,
there are more than l4.0O0.000.000
acres Of idle land on the earth's sur
face awaiting the magic touch Of the
plow. The compensation is easily OBJ.
tainable from Federal Agricultural
Department statistics. Tho total
average annual sales of q farm In
the continental United States amounts
to $4,000: the cost of operation is
$4,000; leaving the farmer $176 per
annum to live on and educate his
family.
There is no occasion for the legls.

employees Of industry. Let them come
back to the soil' and share with us
the prosperity Of the farm.
The Holly chieftain., 1915-04-02

eign countries IN exports, but the
total payroll Of industries working for
the farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads. Sl.252. .OO0. 900;
manufacturers. s4.365.OO0. 1000: mining,
,$655.OOO.000; banks. 100000. 800;
mercantile $3.5OO.OOO 900. and a heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.
1t takes the corn crop. the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for 1852, 10000 to pay of
the employees of the railroads: Ne
money derived from our annual sales
of livestock of approximately $1,000
O00.OG0. the yearly cotton crop, valued
at $920.009, 900; the wheat crop.
which is worth $610,000,000, and the
oat crop. that Is worth $4,000 900,
are required to meet the annual pay
roll Of the manufacturers. The
money derived from the remaining
staple crops is used in meeting the
payroll OF the bankers. merchants.
etc. After these obligations are paid.
the farmer has only few punches Of
vegetables, some fruit and poultry
which he can sell and call the pro-
ceeds his own.
When the farmer pays of his help
he has very little left and to meet
these tremendous payrolls he has
been forced to mortgage homes, work
women In the field and increase the
hours of his labor We are, there
fore. compelled to call upon all in
dustries dependent upon the farmers
for subsistence to retrench in their
Expenditures and to cut off all un-
necessary expenses. This course is
absolutely necessary in order to avoid
reduction in wages, and we want,
II possible, to retain the present wage
scale paid railroad and all other in.
dustrial employees.
We will devote this article to a
discussion of unnecessary expenses
and whether required by law or per-
mitted by the managements of the
concerns, is wholly immateriai. We
want all waste labor and extraya-
gance. of whatever character, cut out
We will mention the full crew bill as

Union Opposes Full Crew" Bill.
The Texas Farmers Union regis
tered its opposition to this character
of legislation at the last annual meet
ing held in Fort Worth, Tex. August
4, 1914. by resolution, which we quote,
as follows:
"The matter Of prime Importance
to the farmers Of this state is an ade.
quate and efficient marketing system:
and We recognize that such system
Is impossible without adequate rail-
road facilities. embracing the greatest
amount Of service at the least DOS
sible cost We further recognize that
the farmers and producers in the end
pay approximately IS per cent of the
expenses Of operating the railroads.
and 1t is therefore to the interest of
the producers that the expenses Of
the common carriers be as small as
Is possible, consistent with good ser.
vice and safety. We, therefore, call
upon our lawmakers, courts and
juries to bear the foregoing facts in
mind when dealing with the common
carriers Of this state, and we do espe-
cially reaffirm the declarations of
the last annual convention of our
State Union. opposing the passage Of
the so-called 'full-crew' bill before
the thirtv-third legislature of Texas"
