which will wipe out this outrage.
| FARMERS GROWING POORER
| personally have hundreds of
neighbors and friends who have been
farming for five to ten years, and are
no richer today than when they
started. Some are considerably
poorer, and they have worked from
daylight to dark, winter and sum-
mer, good weather and bad. The
tired look on the faces of the women
OF the farms tells it's own story more
eioquently than | can tell it.
Farm tenantry in America is rap
idly increasing. Farm population is
not keeping pace with the increasing
population of the cities. Every fact
and statistic one can secure on this
subject leads to but one conclusion:
There is a national need that farm
life can be made more remunerativc
and attractive.
Last years government report of
taxes on incomes shows that 20 out
of every 100 stock brokers in the
country received an income of $4,000
or over, and that but one out of
every 400 farmers made as much.
Things are topsy-turvy The scales
of opportunity are out of balance for
the farmer.
WHAT FARMERS WANT
[ shall work for laws which will
mean that farmers and wheat raisers
will make the same profit for the
same amount of work that cotton
growers, munition workers and meat
packers do.
Why should men become immense
ly wealthy and draw enormous wages
selling their products to the govern
mert and the wheat grower and live
stock raiser be compelled to sell his
at loss?
shall ask no special favors for
the farmers, but | shall demand that
he be given square deal with all
other workers.
FREE LAND AND EQUIPMENT
FOR SOLDIERS
There were thousands of unem-
ployed when the war broke out. At
ter the war those thousands will be
multiplied unless American markets
are protected. | stand for protection
of American farmers and laborers.
Our boys at the front are giving
up much. While they are fighting
for US, would stop the profteering
that is robbing them and their de-
pendents. After the war | would re-
turn our soldiers to civil life quick
1y and give every one a free home
stead and the equipment to farm it.
We must win this war first of all,
but there is no need for gross injus-
tice to the farmer while it is being
won. That is the big reason why pol
itics cannot and must not be ad-
journed during the war. Justice must
be done and the American farmer
given square deal in war times the
same as in peace times.
[ WANT PATRIOTIC FARMERS
TO STAND BY ME
The profteers, the men who have
been getting special favors from
w Washington, won't be for me. They
will fight me in order to protect their
own special privileges. But for ev-
cry vote I lose for that reason,
want hundred loyal and patriotic
farmers and their wives to stand by
me, not to honor me, but that we may
send fellow farmer to congress to
work and vote for the square deal for
Montana farmers, that we are EN-
titled to.

TEAMWORK TO WIN WAR
America Will Standardize Production
in Essential Business.

Detroit, April 26.-"America will
win the war by teamwork, by STAN
dardizing production, by an output
that once started, never will cease un-
til Germany is overwhelmed as by a
barrage fire" said Edward B. Saund-
ers, secretary of the New England
Safety council, Fitchburg, Mass, at
today's session of the Worlds Sales
manship congress here. Mr.. Saunders
discussed the winning of the war and
the part the individual business man
must play to bring it about.
There is a cry to eliminate non-es-
sentials," he continued, "and many are
asking what is essential and what is
non-eSsential business The only an
swer to this is that for the present
needs, some lines of business take
priority over others. Before investi-
cation was made it was thought that
jewelry was certainly a non-essential.
People could give up wearing jewelry.
But there has been a demand for wrist
watches that could not be supplied. 1t
was found also that Chill wants
jewelry in exchange for nitrates.''

Mr.. Stewart did not wish to break
up a life long custom so he investi-
gated the tax records at the Sedgwick
county court house for twenty years
He found that sixteen times out of the
twenty this farmer had sworn he had
no wheat on hand. The records show
he had wheat on hand only four years
as follows: March 1. 1902, 500
bushels; March 1, 1909, 500 bushels;
March 1, 1915, 500 bushels; March 1,
1916, 400 bushels.
