PURPOSESOF THE N0N-PARTISAN
LEAGUE GIVEN BY ITS ORGANIZER
(Reprinted From The Sunday Times


The Idaho farmer has practically
the same problems to solve as his
brother farmer in North Dakota and
other states. The prices of the prod
ucts he raises on his farm are almost
altogether controlled by big business
interests outside the state. Every year
enormous profits, reaching into the
millions, are taken from the product
Of his labor, bringing hardship, not
only upon himself, but also upon local
business men, laborers and consum-
ers throughout the entire state.
The farmer of North Dakota has
shown that the remedy against this
wrong is for all Idaho farmers
whether they be Changers, Farmers
Union men, members of the Society of
Equity, or unaffiliated with any farm
organization; whether they raise cat
tie or hogs, wheat or corn, potatoes
or sugar beets, apples or peaches
peas or beans, to consolidate their in
terests and act together on the po-
litical field. For 10 these many years
the big speculator and his hired SER
yant in Idaho, the politicians, have
made politics their business in order
to rob the producers, and the farmer
is compelled by necessity to also make
politics his business If he is going to
get a square deal.
1t is proper that the farmers should
take the initiative in correcting exist
ing economic and political abuses be-
cause they represent the most numer-
Gus class of citizens, and their bust
NQess, agriculture, is the chief indus
tNy in the state. We can never hope
for\any lasting improvement in the
living conditions of the people of Ida
no, so long as the great majority OF
her citizens, the farmers, do not have
more to say about the making of the
laws.
The League program for Idaho con
tains the following planks:
1. State-owned packing houses, ter
minal elevators. flour mills and cold
storage plants.
2. State owned warehouses fol
fruit, potatoes and other farm prod
ucts.
g. Exemption of farm improve
ments from taxation.
T. Rural credit banks operated al

cost.
5. State ownership and distribution
of the water power.
The above program was Endorsed by
the Idaho State Federation of Agricul-
ture on February 8th, at it's conven-
ton, when Ray McKaig brought the
League message from North Dakota to
the Idaho farmers. This program sets
forth some of the more important de-
mands and needs of the farmers. The
primary purpose of this League is to
take the government out of the hands
of special privilege and restore it to
the people.
This movement on the part of the
farmers to get control of the state
government is inspired by the best
ideals of politics and economics and
sincere determination that justice
shall reign in the affairs of men. 1t
is not class rule, as some politicians
are anxious to have us believe. In
North Dakota progressive thinking
men all over the state came to the
support of the farmers, with the con-
seriousness that they, too, were in the
grip of powerful. trusts and monopo-
lies. They realized that prosperity
for the farmer meant prosperity for
all classes of citizens. The same is
true in Minnesota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, as we'll as other states where
the League is now under way. The
sentiment is widespread that the men
and women who really build up state
and nation are not getting a square
deal. This condition must and will
end. The producers of Idaho will
draw inspiration from what their
brethren in North Dakota and other
states are doing to get out of the
clutches of big business, and work to-
gether and stick together in a Non
partisan League, so as to be able to
endorse. nominate and elect men to
legislative and state offices, who will
carry out the wishes of the people OF
the state, to the end that those who
perform the useful and necessary
work may enjoy the full fruits of their
labor and the advantages of modern
civilization.
ALFRED KNUDSON,
National Representative of the Farm
ers' Non-partisan League.

Dear Editor will you give
boy at Camp Pike a little space in

the Tishomingo county people
would be glad to hear from the
camp, as there are so many of
their sons here.
We all feel better now, as we
have had very good rain to set
tie the dust. The dust has been
so bad we could hardly see each
other we'll enough to keep in line.
Most of the boys seem to be very
well satisfied, but some few, who
have wives back 1t home, seem to
want to get back to them. We
are we'll cared for and the officers
are all nice to us and do all they
can to make us enjoy ourselves
We have all kinds of athletics and
every boy is welcome to take part
in them. The drilling we do is
not so very hard but they keep lis
at it most of the time. Sometimes
they stop drilling and have wrest-
ling and jumping contests and OF
course all of the boys who are
made of the right stuff enjoy such
sports as these, or at least l do, il
do have to get the dust brushed
off my back sometimes.
The Y. NJ. c, A. people are sure
doing their part for the soldier
boys They have nice, well fur
nished buildings, scattered all over
the camps. Each building has a
good library and many other us
full things, which the soldiers have

entertainments every night which
consist of movies, music, speakers
