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
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 it
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 farmer buys a plow 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 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 is around
$12,0OO,OOO,O00, and it is safe to esti.
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses of sub
sidiary industries. Ttt 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 1t.

The annual payroll of agriculture
approximates $12,OOO,00O,0OO. A por
ton of the amount is shifted to for.
eign countries in exports, but the
the farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads, $1,252, 100000;
manufacturers, $4,365, 100000; mining,
$685., 100000; banks, $20O,000,0O0;
mercantile $780, 100000, and heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.
It takes the corn crop, the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for $1,692, 100000, to pay off
the employees of the railroads. the
money derived from our annual sales
of livestock of approximately $2,000,-
100000, the yearly cotton crop, valued
at $920,000,000; the wheat crop,
which is worth $610,OO0,0OO, and the
oat crop, that is worth $440,00O,000,
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 off 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
a reduction in wages, and we wanS

This country well supplied with thinking men
for leadership in politics. Political leaders who
really think broadly and with originality are
fewer than they should be. Wefnd SO many who
follow the line of least resistance and others

notifications that would fit changed oondi-

Politics is an evolutionary science. General
principles may stand as sound for generations
But application of these principles should be
suited to the peculiar needs of each successive

WITHDRAWAL FROM MEXICO.

Very likely there is much truth IN the asser-
t;on If Mexican officers that the continued
presence of American troops In the repuDhc
will constitute danger to the rule OF oarraIl-
"a. No doubt the pride of the Mexlcans is hurt
and they will avenge themselves on the incom-
petent first chief, whose failure to govern the
country made the advance of our troops neces-
Bsary.
But the truth of this condition proves Meth
er the propriety the desira blllty OF our com
pliance with the demand for withdrawal. In
the first place there is the question whether our
retreat would save Carranza. Is 1t not rather
likely that our troops, which are theoretically
his allies, being out Of the way the Mexican
lpeople will rise at once and overthrow him!
And then there is the question as to whether
Carranza and his crew are worth saving, elth-
er by withdrawing or staying. Would not the
Mexican situation, broadly, be nearer solution
if he were eliminated from it?
Above all, the question must be considered
of the effect upon our own prestige IN Mexico
and upon the safety and interests OF our cltl-
zens on both sides of the border OF backout
under pressure from our undertaking to punish
the murderous Villa and suppress the activity
of his bands. Supposing we Withdraw our
troops tomorrow, what will Villa do on the day
