and you need ours.
6 AM A ROMAN CATHOLIC
so CANNOT JOIN THIS MOVE
MENT-
We have thousands Of Catholics who
are members now and very loyal. We
are nonpartisan, nonsectarisn and are
not concerned with any religious dis
putes. With the league program en-
acted into law, you can be q, more lib
eral contributor to your church, be-
cause you will be more prosperous.
z. HAVE NOT GOT THE TIME
TO TALK IT OVER NOW.
My friends, We came here to talk to
you of something that win make you
more prosperous, which will improve
your condition as a farmer. You can
not afford to lose this chance to i'm
prove your condition financially.
8. 1T is TOO ONESIDED AND
UNFAIR IT'S ALL FOR THE FAR
MERS.
Did the grain trust or any other cor
poration ever ask you if you were
getting enough for your farm prod,
ucts to make a comfortable living?
When you lose a crop n season do
you add that loss TO the price of your
next seasons crop when you market
it? Big business always does that,
and until you do the same you are Civ
ing Big Business an unfair advantage.
9. WHEN YOU GET THE REST
OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON YOUR
LIST I WILL JOIN.
Would you wait for your neighbors
to come if a fire broke out in your
house, before starting to extinguish
it? Or to do anything else that really
needed doing? You and your neigh
bors need the league. Join now.
10. DID YOU GET MY NEIGH
BORIS BROWN, OLSEN AND JOHN
SON ON THIS LIST? I WILL JOIN
WHEN THEY DO.
F! Would you wait for them to start
harvesting first, if your grain was
shelling? This is a chance to har-
vest something for all the future years
I am going to get all your neighbors
to join before I leave the neighbour
hood. =
IL II AM GOING TO QUIT
FARMING OR AM ONLY RENTING
IT DON'T DO ME ANY GOOD, so I
WON'T JOIN.
The man who is renting needs this
organization as much as though he
owned a farm, even more so. BY cut
ting out needless middlemen, the rem
ter will be able to accumulate more,
and thus buy land for himself.
IL. IT'S ONLY ANOTHER SCHE-
ME TO GRAFT OFF THE FARMER.
In North Dakota $4,000 farmers are
in this grating game and are proud
Of it. If you take a dollar out of one
pocket and put it into the other you
are not. the loser. When you put your
$18 fee into this Organization you are
preparing to save it many times over
each ssasdn, and still be IN a better
position to keep it.
10. THE DUES ARE TOO HIGH.
WHERE IS ALL THAT MONEY CO.
ING TO?
At present you have to help pay the
cost of the legislation that large cor
porations get by bribery and fraud.
This cost is added to the goods that
you buy. The league fee is all used
to gain new members and help carry
out u program.
IA. THEY HAVE BEEN TALK
ING OF ORGANIZING THE FAR
MERS FOR THE LAST go YEARS
AND HAVE NEVER COZ. ANY
WHERE WITH II YET.
No. Every effort to help the farmer
has had some good results. We now
have nancy laws to protect us. Thou
sands Of cooperative stores, grain ell
evators, hundreds of ~creameries, lum-
Der yards, farm implement concerns,
newspapers, many farmer owned
banks, etc. These never came all of
themselves. All came through organ
ization. All had to meet the ut
can't be done' croaker.
Is. THE EQUITY SOCIETY IS
GOING &c GET US THOSE THINGS
ANYHOW. ~
The Equity society, Grange. Farm
ers union or other organizations never
have gone in for political action. Here
tofore, farmers had no Organization;
to help them to get political action.
The Nonpartisan league is the polite
al expression of all these farm organ
i~zations, crystalized from years of
thot. Big business interests always
have made the rules of the game. Ed
uity farmers must capture the law
making power.
16. THE EQUITY, GRANGE AND
FARMERS UNION HAVE BEEN
PROMISING US THESE THINGS
FOR YEARS AND WE NEVER
HAVE GOT ANYTHING. HOW ARE
WE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS ANY
DIFFERENT?
The Equity society. Grange and
Farmers union always have gone into
