Berwick Engineer Re-
turns Home From
Tampico Mexico
Says Conditions There Are
Very Unsettled And Is
Glad To Be In The U. S.
A. Again

Mr.. Ira Gouner, who accepted a
position Vith the Texas Company
some time ago, as engineer on the
steamer Jenny Barber" returned
to his home in Berwick, Tuesday.
His steamer has been towing oil from
Tampico, Mexico. He states that
conditions in lower Mexico are very
unsettled. The people cannot rase
gardens or fields crops, on account
of the bandits stealing the cops at
harvest time. Flour cannot be OBJ
tanned and the price of meal is al
most prohibitive. When Mr.. Gouner
decided to leave Mexico, he departed
from Tampico by rail. After the
train was few miles out Of the city,
they came to destroyed bridge, on
the other side of which a bunch of
bandits were in waiting. Fortunately
few autos were available in the
neighborhood and they returned to
Tampico and thus avoided a clash
with the bandits. Mr.. Gouner states
that he and Is Americans Sc
cured berths in a sailing vessel just
leaving Tampico for the United
States. On account of the weather,
Mr.. Gouner says the trip on the vessel
was a hard one but the party final
ly reached Port Arthur, Texas, Sun
day. He said that he was mighty glad
to be back in the good old U, S. A.

SOcialistic Character And Aims
Of NOnpartisan League Analuxed

The following article, dealing spe-
ct0oAlly with fallacies in the propa-
GahdA OF the Nonpartisan league in
tts application, especially to the farm
Or ana business man, Is taken from
The Minneapolis Journal:
ago, that A. G. Townley, Nonpartisan
league leader, and Mark P. Bates.
candidate for governor Of South Da-
kotA on the league ticket, were driven
from Brttton, in that state, by q mob
OF farmers and townspeople, and re-
fused permission to speak.
Why is it that the organizers and
candidates Of this league quite often
meet with treatment Of this kind? I'm
der ordinary circumstances, the
AmSrdcai public is extremely tolerant
Of all sorts Of parties. 1t cannot be
explained by saying, as the league
leaders do, that it Is to prevent the
farmers from organizing. There lave
been and still are any number Of farm
organizations. All through the section
where the league is strong will be
found farmers cooperative elevators.
creaneries,. cheese factories, and the
lagos and cities to help the farmers
get as much for their products as pos
sible. and for that reason, If for no
other, they frequently assist them in
forming such organizations. No one
ever heard Of any violence being Of
Tered the Equity society, the Patrons
of Husbandry, the Farmers Alliance.
or other like farm organizations.
The league leaders explanation
does not explain. They must offer a
better. and more sensible reason. The
FORM OF this organization has no
counterpart anywhere. 1t did not
originate with the farmers, but was
formed by a small group OF socialists
who are making a desperate effort to
secure control Of this country through
the aid of the farmers and certain
>socialistic groups in the cities. Nearly
all of the organizers are we'll known
socialists. A long list Of these men and
OF their previous history has been
gathered and published. Only a few
OF this list need be mentioned.
Run by Socialists.
There are A. E. Bowen. Q. M.

L. Cooper, Oscar L. Evans. J. A. Cur

Henry Richardson. Joe Richardson,
J. a. Kalstad, George E. \Totten,
D. Brewer. Many of these men have
in recent years been candidates for
office or socialist tickets and all have
been. active as socialist speakers.
None of these are actual farmers.
The real power of the league is CEN
tered in the two men. A. c. Townley

BetFaytng the Farmers
While the Nonpartsan league was
started as q farmers organization, it
Is no longer simply that, but has TAX
en- in certain labor organizations in
n larger cities. That is just what
might be expected. The leaders of the
league belong to the socialistic labor
element. and the. natural thing for,
them Is to seek to combine the two.
At the time this alliance was sought,
the farmers were agitating for a
higher price for their 1918 wheat than
$500. The labor leaders were strenu-
ously opposed to, this. Mr.. Townley,
who was engineering the deal, then
made his farmer friends solemnly
existing price; and to cllnch the kgree-
ment so that no one could go back
s2In, It. sent the president the. Following
Do> not be misled by politi-
clans. The farmers of the north
vest cheerfully acquiese in your
decision fixing wheat prices on
the basis Of the 1917 crop.
This telegram. no doubt, had its eff
feet in inducing the president to veto
the legislation fixing the price Of
s2.4o. 1t is significant that the pres
ldent In his veto message expressed
the same idea as that contained in
Mr.. Townley's message; namely. that
the were satisfied with tho
price of 1920. Let me ask who were
h real friends of the farmers, Mr..
Tow4ley and his league followers, or
the northwestern members in CON
gress, who after working for fn1onths
to increase the, price to not less than
$3.50. were slapped in the face by
Mr.. Townley's action in sending the
telegram. "a
One Of the pet schemes of the
league Is to exempt all improvements
on farm property from taxation. II
1t cherishes the idea that the farmers
can be induced to believe that such
exemption will reduce their taxes, it
has a very low estimate Of their in
tel1ige9fe. How would that work ?
to pay no less. It would only shift
the burden from those who have
large and expensive improvements to
those who have small ones.,.. That is
"a scheme that may work fairly we'll
in a new country for the purpose Of
encouraging improvements, but it is
utterly ~indefensible in an old country
as it makes the poor pay as much as
the rich.
But let us carry this to it's logical
conclusion. If that method of taxa
ton is good for the country, the la
borer in the cities certainly will d.
mand 1t. Why not tax his property ut
the sameIfigure, whether it is worth
$4,000 or $1,000? If it is a wise and
Just policy to exempt the barn from
taxes, why not the business buildings
in the villages and cities, including
the s~kyscrapers? ~
