THE FARMER AND LABOR

The average farmer has an entirely
wrong conception of labor. He is
prone to complain of the high price
of labor, when in fact he should re-
joice that labor is well paid. And in
this connection, anyone who earns his
livelihood thru work, whether it be
digging in a ditch, keeping books or
managing a business, is laborng
man.
The success of the farmer, as the
greatest producer of all, lies in the
degree of prosperity of the working
class. If labor is poorly paid the
farmer of necessity must receive low
prices for his products.
1t makes all the difference in the
world to the farmer as to whether the
"big fellow" or the "little fellow gets
the money.
Here is one reason why the farmer
should favor Government ownership
of railroads. If the roads are run
by private individuals these individu-
ais, in order to get a big profit, will
buy labor as cheaply as possible, and
millions of railroad men will be less
able to pay high prices for the things
they. eat.
Under Government ownership the
immense profits and princely salaries
of the road heads will be divided
among the workers, and instead of a

few families having more than they
need, millions of workers will receive
the money that would be boarded,
and will be able to pay the farmer a
decent price for what he has to sell.
No man can spend more than he
makes and if labor is well paid the
farmer will be well paid; if labor is
cheap so must the products of the
farm be cheap,
There are thousands of working
men for every capitalist. If the profits
of the corporation heads could be
divided between all the workers ev-
erybody would be benefited.
There is just one way in which this
can be accomplished-the govern
ment must own the big trusts and
operate them without profit, just as
the postoffice is now conducted.
Therefore the farmer should be in
hearty accord with Government own
ership; he should stand shoulder to
shoulder with labor in insisting on a
fair price for its service. The fact
that the farmer is compelled to pay
a high price for the labor he uses is
small matter if other labor is so
paid that he receives a comparatively
higher price for his products.
Every farmer should begin to look
up the cause of low prices and if he
does this he will soon realize that it is
to his interest to befriend labor and
stand for the principles which make
for better wages and consequently
greater buying power.
