pockets of the elevators company in
stead of into his own.
This year the story went different.
Mr.. Wallace has just sold his wheat.
He took it to the same elevator. But
the Minneapolis price of $2.85, less
Is cents freight, or $2.70, was what
he obtained. Yet his wheat this
year weighed only 81 pounds anti
graded as No. 4. Under the milling
standard of grading, however. he oo-
tanned $2.70.

81 cents bushel was typical, the

Below is a letter on the subject
written by the Editor of the Producers
News to Senator Myers:
Oct. %, 1919.
Hon. II. L. Myers,
United States Senator from Montana,
Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir:
| have before me your letter to W.
C. Wachter Of Medicine Lake and
Simeon Nielsen of McCabe.
Of course it was no surprise to
me that you are apparently in SYM
pathy with hideous tortures that are
being inflicted upon poor John A.
Hardersen the Archer conscientious
objector, but | was amazed at the po-
sition you take in the premises.
1t is very nice Of you to tell the
| friends Of Mr.. Hardersen that if the
charges of brutality, of brutality that
makes the Hun" seem humane, were
substaniated, that if these charges
were proven, even after young Har-
dersen were done to death in the hole
at Alcatraz, then you might be Will
ing to investigate.
It seems to me that you have en-
tirely lost the spirit of democracy and
the primitive ideals of the American
people: Are you senator's So joint
owners of this country, with a deco
in fee simple, or are you the duly
elected representatives of the people
of the United States? - -
1t is time we understood your men
tai attitude, in order that we know
how to proceed-we approach {
kaiser differently than we approach
public servant.
It appears to me that If you wer
serving the people, instead of you
own prejudices and bigotry, yo'
would not lean so heavily upon you
opinion in this affair, and would no
= be so positive of the eXaggeration 0
, the article appearing in the Producer
, News, but would at least be tal
enough to look into the matter an
find out for yourself whether or nc
! the charges are true. 1t m1gf
change your opinions, if that wei
O possible. You might take chance.
For my part I am too much OF
o lover of the "old Flag" to stand b
v idlv and allow these Sioux India
+ ! atrocities to take place without raj
7 ing my voice in protest, in spite:
s the fact that I am not a Consclel
) tious Objector. l am willing TO ngi
: whenever it is necessary for dem
$ cracy whether at home or abroad
# beg to remain,
a Very truly yours,
;e CHARLES E. TAYLOR.
