WASHINGTON NOTES
Farmers Should Have a Voice

Farmers Should Have q Voice
No incident in the labor-capital con-
ference now in progress in Washing
ton is more significant or important
than the statement made by C. S. Bar
rett, president Of the National Farm
ers' Union, presenting the interests of
the agricultural producers, and COM
planning that in this controversy be-
tween employers and the labor unions
proper consideration has not been Civ
en- to the farmers. First and last, the
prosperity of America depends upon
the success of our agricultural indus
tries. Moreover, the very stability of
the government depends chiefly upon
the rural residents, who are largely
home-owners, or tenants under leas-
ing system which gives them a prop
erty interest, making them permanent
and substantial residents Of their COM
munities. For safe and sane and yet
progressive action, the country can al
ways depend upon the tillers of the
soil.
Few will question Mr.. Barrett's as
sertion that during the war the farm
er's welfare received practically no
consideration. So far as the Admin
istration took any action bearing upon
the interests Of the farmers, that act
ion was in the direction Of limiting
profits, while the action affecting or
ganized labor resulted, in every in
stance. in increase Of compensation.
With the one hand, the Administration
the agricultural producer,
while with the other it gave special
assistance to organized labor.
Past records will fully bear out Mr..
Barrett's assertion that farmers want
no special privileges. His demand for
equality under the law, and for due
in the shaping of policies
at the present Conference, is as merit
orious as it is timely. Before begin
ming its deliberations, the Conference
has had its attention called to the
danger of attempting to satisfy the
demands of capital, on the one hand,
and organized labor, on the other
leaving forty millions of agricultural
population to take the leavings.
But, reasoning apriori, we cannot
share Mr.. Barrett's fear that many
farmers may rush into organizations
which are not 100 per cent American"
or that many thousands of them may
depart from that narrow path which is
laid down by the Constitution" How
ever unjust the treatment he may have
received, no farmers or other owner
of property which he has accumulated
by industry and thrift will fail to real
ize that his only hope of continued
and enjoyment of that prop
erty rests upon the maintenance of |
law and order. However much the |
farmer may resent injustice and how
ever earnest his efforts to change con-
iitions, he will never be found align- |
ing himself with the enemies of the |
He VIII proceed to Sc
cure his rights by orderly and lawful |
means through the election of legislat-
ors and executives who believe in gov
by and for all and who op-
pose government by and for class.

ROGUE RIVER WILL
NOT GIVE UP ITS DEAD

Arthur Brown, Southern Oregon
representative for the oregonian,
who is in the city today, states that
the body OF Carl Whillock, who was
drowned In the Rogue on Decoration
day, had not yet been recovered.
Carl was the 13-year-oid son OF the
proprietor OF the Golden Rule store
at Medford.
The lad was with a picnic party
at Ray Gold on Decoration day. He
was playing along the edge OF the
river and 1t is presumed that he
reached into the water after craw-
fish when he lost his balance and
fell in. This was just above one OF
the most dangerous whirlpools on
the river and the body was immedi-
ately sucked under. =
Blasting powder has been llber-
ally used to raise the body. but to no
avail. Later a. dummy, made of
straw and placed on board, was
showed into the water at the point
where the lad fell in and II, too, was
sucked under and could not be found.
Meanwhile, the search for the body
is being continued.

jumped, escaping with few
scratches-then came the crash.

cars were scramfiing for first place

unsuccessful May Day outrages. II

Pamphlets we're found at Palmer's

are that class war" has been
