Qld I0Z Amendments
State Federation Of Labor En-
dorses Homestead Loan and
Land League Program.
Amendments Seven and Eight to Be
Voted on November 5, 1918.

At the 9th annual convention of the
Missouri State Federation of Labor, the
stand taken in 1916 and 1917 was re-
affirmed by the passage unanimously
Of the following resolutions:
"As organized workers we recognize
the importance of sane efforts for eco
nomic change at the same time that
we are prosecuting the all important
work of Industrial organization.
During these terrible days of war we
declare that while labor Is securing q
share in the fixing of hours of labor
and conditions, there should also be
put into effect programs of reform
which will relieve the competition for
jobs, increase the supply of food for
our armies and our own tables, pro-
vide homes for our own citizens and
our soldier boys when they return and
abolish the profiteering of the land
lord.speculator class which is commit
ted to the policy of holding land out
of use for a profit and raising rents
with every increase of wages.
We declare that the presence of fiji
teen million idle acres of tillable land
in Missouri at the same time that our
fighting forces need food and our
workers are starving or groaning I'M
der high prices and our citizens living
as tenants and renters is damning evil
dence of the need of such reform in
our own state at once.
II has been our privilege as a fed.

have endorsed the HOMESTEAD
LOAN & LAND LEAGUES SINGLE
TAX and LOAN Program to abolish
land monopoly at our Joplin Conven-
ton in 1916 and at our Jefferson City
Convention in 1917. Organized labor
in Missouri has reason to feel proud
of its record in helping to secure the
$4,000 signatures to bring this program
to a vote at the coming election in
November. We have thus shown that
we recognize this as labors fight.
We look upon this program to have
the state loan money at three per cent

Therefore, for the third consecutive
time, we endorse the Single TAX and

Missouri inside and outside the ranks
of Organized Labor to vote and work
for the success of the two amendments
at the November election.
And we urge all local Labor Unions
in Missouri to contribute generously
and quickly to the appeals of the above

CALL FOR POTATOES

The department of agriculture in
Washington advises that not more
than one-third of the 1917 crop Of
potatoes has been moved. For one car
consumed, there are two cars yet to be
had.
The total production in 1917 is es.
timated to have been 442 ,536,OOO bu-
shels,or the largest crop ever por-
duced i'll the United States. Notwith
standing this fact, prices from the
time OF digging to tie present have
ruled higher than in any previous
year OF which we have record with
the exception of last year when the
crop was abnormally short.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1918 farm and garden operations de-
ponds prosperity or our going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time. above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!
