ANNUAL MEETING.
OF AMERICAN
PLOWMEN
National Farmers Union Renders un'
selfish Service to Agriculture.
By Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will
hold its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year Of
its activities in the interest Of the
American plowman. When that con-
yention is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head in honor Of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unselfsh service to agriculture. That
organization, born in the cotton fields
Of Texas, has grown until geograph-
ically it covers almost the whole of
the United States and economically
it deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. 1t has battled for a better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money, Investigation, scientific pro
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and cooperation in season and out.
The Farmers Educational and Co
operative Union Of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
of people. The farmers can only ac-
quire such influence in business, in
government and in economies as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits Of their labor through organiza-
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst Of
controversy as to how best to pro.
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted Many men have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny Of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of a century we
have fought many duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port of Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity.
should begin at home.

pronounced, exclaimed, Il appeal.
And to whom do you appeal?" in
quired the astonished monarch. Il
appeal from Philip drunk to Philip

king granted the request and at re-
hearing gave the prisoner his liberty.

ments. The next best thing to make

KENDALL MAY NOT GET
SALARY FROM STATE

Zeb. Kendall's claim, marked .'Not
approved, May 20, 1915, Emmett d.
Boyle, George Brodigan," is in the
secretary of states office. just what
steps Kendall will have to take to get
his money is problematical. Some legal
lights about the capital city are of the
opinion that he cannot get into court
until his claim is approved by a ma
GRITTY of the board of examiners. To
accomplish this it would be necessary
to call a board meeting during the alb
sence of Boyle, at which time Lieut.
Gov. Sullivan, as acting governor,
would have authority to approve the
claim in case he felt so disposed.
This was the method of procedure in
the first place. The board of examiners
disapproved the bill, Gov. Oddie and
Secretary of State B~rodigan voting
against ii. Later Gov. Oddie left the
state and Lieut. Gov. Ross, as acting
governor, approved it with Attorney,
General Thatcher. Jake Eggers, who
state controller, refused to issue the
warrant and a writ of mandamus threw
the matter into the supreme court. Eg-
gers took the position that inasmuch
as Kendall was a member of the legis-
lature which created the job, he was
barred by the state constitution from
holding the position. The supreme
court, Justice MeCarran dissenting,
then held that in the capacity of SUI
pe~rintendent of buildings Kendall
could not be held to be an coffee
holder" but merely an "employe,' -
aud therefore outside the constitution
provision.
In addition TO disappearing the Kel-
dayy claim, Boyle amended it by de-
Quoting $500 from the total amount
asked for. This $500 he believes Z. III.
Hooper is entitled to for performing
the duties Of an "employe'' in Ken
dall's place for one month. Kendall
also made no claim for services as an
employee from January IL to March
1915, during which time he was in the
Legislature as a regular Official" be-
ing one of the duly elected senators
from Nye comfy.
Kendall claims e~molument at $500 a
month for services "while employed
az superintendent" from April to De
eember, 1914, inclusive; from January
| to IL, inclusive, 1915; and for the
month Of April. 1s15s-News.
