Monuments to Three Wisconsin
Heroes

The State of Wisconsin has just
erected a beautiful monument at
Delafield, Waukesha county, to three
of it's sons who won fame for it dur
ing the Civil War. The soldiers thus
honored are Alonzo, William and
Howard Gushing. Alonzo, after a
gallant career as lieutenant Of a bat
terry in the regular army, was
killed while repelling Pickett's fam
Gus charge at Gettysburg. Twice he
was painfully wounded on that fate
full day, but refused to leave the field.
A third shot ended his life when the
enemy were within one hundred
yards. Howard served gallantly dur
ing the war but his chief claim to
distinction rests on his later service
as a cavalryman against the Apache
Indians of the southwestern plains.
At length, in 1871, he fell into an
ambuscade and was killed. William,
perhaps the most famous OF the
three, by his daring exploits won the
command of a gunboat before he had
reached his majority. His best known
exploit was the blowing up Of the
Confederate ram Albemarle, a feat
in which he displayed marvellous cool
ness and daring.
The monument, an obelisk shaft of
Barre granite fifty feet high, stands
on the site of the pioneer farm where
the brothers were born. An interest

Union Opposes "FuII Crew" Bill.
The Texas Farmers Union regis
tered it's 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 a system
is impossible without adequate rail
road facilities, embracing the greatest
amount of service at the least pos
sible cost. We further recognize that
the farmers and producers in the end
pay approximately 95 per cent OF the
expenses of operating the railroads,
and it 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 'fuli-crew' bill before
the thirty-third legislature of Texas. "
The farmers of Missouri in the last

PAYROLL Of
CIVILIZATION MET
BY FARMER
WANTS NO "DEADHEADS" ON
LIST OF employees.
A CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National FARMERS Union
The farmer is the paymaster OF
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll. When industry
pays it's 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 1t
will rest upon the soil. No dollar
will remain suspended in midair; it is
as certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from tree.
When a farmer buys a pillow he pays
the man who mined the metal. the
woodman who felled the tree, the
manufacturer who assembled the raw
material and shaped it 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 we'll as 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 and those engaged in the SUBJ
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 is around
S12,000,O00,000, and it is safe to esti-
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses of sub
sidiary 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
cial and other servants.
The Farmers Payroll and How He
Meets II.
The annual payroll Of agriculture
approximates $12,000,00O,000. A por.
ton of the amount is shifted to for
eign countries in exports, but the
total payroll of industries working for
the farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads, $1,252,OOO, 600;
manufacturers, $4,365, 100000; mining,
| $655,000,000; banks, 100000, 900;
mercantile $3,50OO00,000, and heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.
1t takes the corn crop, the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for 1882, 100000, to pay off
the employees of the railroads.; the
money derived from our annual sales
Of livestock of approximately $4,000
100000, the yearly cotton crop, valued
at $920,000,000; the wheat crop
which is worth $610,000,O00, and the
oat crop, that is worth $440,OOO,0O0
are required to meet the annual pay
roll of the manufacturers. The
money derived from the remaining
staple crops. is used in meeting the

similar legislation which requires I'm.
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 a body of men as
sembled at legislatures-and they
have a right to be there-who, in
their zeal for rendering their fellow.
associates a 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 a record
for themselves, rub the skin off 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 a melon" for labor
they hand the farmer a 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 housekeeping Needed.
While the war is on and there Is a
lull in business, we want all legisla
tive bodies to take an inventory of
the statute books and wipe off all
eXtravagant and useless laws A good
house-cleaning is needed and econo-
mics can be instituted here and there
that will patch the clothes of INDECENT
children, rest tired mothers and lift
mortgages from respondent homes.
Unnecessary Workmen taken off and
useless expenses chopped down all
along the line will add to the pros
perity Of the farmer and encourage
him in his mighty effort to feed and
clothe the world
If 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 $1.50
per day Of thirteen hours when they
beard themselves; work usually runs
about nine months of the year and the
three months dead time, they can do
the chores for their board IT they
prefer to farm on their own account,
there are more than 14,000,000,000
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. The total
average annual sales of 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 legis
latures making position for surplus
employees of industry. Let them come
back to the soil" and share with us
the prosperity of the farm.

in excess Of the record for that month.
The manufacturers of all manner of
war materials and supplies are crowd
ed with orders.
When the war ends there will be,
not an instant, but rapid cessation
Of this business. There will be no
more instant needs for guns, powder
and shells; and it may be expected
that orders for these will cease at
once On the other hand the demand
for civil supplies of all kinds will
hardly stop at once; in many lines
there will be even an increase Of the
demand for time, pending the read
justment of foreign industrial organ
izations. But in time the capacity Of
Europe to pay will be depleted, and
1t will confront the necessity Of pro-
ducing what it needs at home, as it
did before the war.
When that time comes, however,
this country will be in q position to
require that the capital it will have
tied up in financing its business of
supplying Europe during the war,
shall be returned to it; and as that
capital comes back, it will be avail
able for financing enterprise in new
fields. Especially will it be needed to
back operations by the way of trade
extension in the east, in Latin-Ameri-
ca, and in other parts Of the world.
