NIMLOs PRESENTS HIS CASE

In a recent issue we gave an account
of that stormy meeting of the Pierce
County Equity, as recorded N the
organizations section of the Els
worth Record. Last week that space
is devoted to the views of Mr.. Thos.
Nimlos, one of the men whose letters
to President Hanson started the rapid
and rabid arguments at the meeting.
Mr.. Nimlos' letter is as follows:
In the convention last Saturday,
G. E. Hanson referred to a letter /
had sent to the members of EQUITY,
asking them to come to Madison the
18th and goth of August, in which
said in the language of Long, Hell
has been poppn,' and in order to main
tain Equity at its equilibrium it has
been necessary for a few to take the
bull by the horns, which we have done,
SO far fearlessly," etc.
The reason for sending out this let
ter was, that on July 9Th, ]. Weleg
Long sent to his friends a letter ask
ing them to come to Madison and see
the President Of our Society humili-
ated and besmerged beyond expes
sion.
At the meeting of the Board the
18th and 18th of July, the National
Board members came in with Mr..
Long for spokesman. Mr.. Long
entered into an abuse of Tittemore,
too loathsome and too foul to men
ton here, evidently for the purpose
set forth in his letter. This letter is
self-evident that three members of
our State Board, namely Hanson, Car
nahan and Parrish, as well as mem
bers of the National, had full knowl-
edge of the intended purpose of this
meeting, and were parties to it. Ger
tainly there is but one Interpretation
of Hanson, Parrish, and Carnahan
during the TRADE Of Long, and that is,
that, with their silence they acquies-
ced in the language by Long.
It was these facts and these condi-
tions that made it necessary for true
friends Of Equity to take a stand
against the REPETITION Of such tactics
and methods as were used by Long
and his sympathizers on July IL and
IL, and therefore the letter which
Hanson read at the meeting was sent
to officials and members in twenty
two counties, with the result as pub
lished in a statement to all Local Sec
retaries in the state"
The above is the main portion of Mr..
Nimlos' letter, as published in the
Record. In conclusion he promises
further information regarding the his
tory of this phase of National and
State Equity doings.

Mr.. Tittemore Appears to Lead.
Judged from the correspondence.
majority of presidents and secretaries
of local Equity unions in Wisconsin
are in favor of the Tittemore policies.
| The Tittemore men view MIR. Long.
leader of the opposition, as a radical
and point to the fact that many of the
Nonpartisan league men, who are also
members of the Equity, are in favor
of Mr.. Longs policies.
| Apparently one of the big elements
back Of the scene is to keep the Equi-
ty organization from being swallowed
up by the Nonpartisan league
Where the Equity was formerly
strong in Montana, North Dakota and
South Dakota the organizations have
been swallowed up by the Nonparti-
san league and our memberships and
unions in those states have dwindled
to almost nothing" said one of the
Equity leaders.
Other Questions Up
| Aside from the row between the So
called radical and conservative" ell
ements in the organization, which will
come to head at the November con-
vention, two other important ques-
be settled:
| First, shall the Equity society oper-
ate it's own livestock selling agency
on the stock markets at South ST.
Paul, Chicago and Milwaukee, or shall
some private selling agency be in
dorsed as in the past?
Second, shall the state union have
an Equity paper, published weekly, in
dependent Of the national union, or
shall both organizations join in publ
shing one paper as at present?
The Equity Cooperative exchange,
an organization of 5000 stockholders,
which has no connection with the
Equity organization, is eager to get
the business of the Equity organiza-
tions in the South st. Paul, Milwau-
kee and Chicago markets. This So
ciety is apparently too close to the
operations Of the Nonpartisan league
to suit the taste of many Equity men.
Instead the Equity men following Mr..
| Tittemore desire to establish their
own independent agencies on these
markets.
Row Over Equity Paper.
The weekly paper of the state and
national Equity organizations is pub
lished in Madison. Owing to some Of
the statements and articles in the pa
per, differences have arisen, and now
the paper is being edited by James
f. Shaw, secretary of the Wisconsin
| union.
The business affairs and plans for
the future will be the topics for dis
cussion at the state meeting. Edward
Nordman, state market commissioner,
| is the only man who has been asked
to give a set address. He will speak
on the work of the market commits
sion. There are about 900 local Equity
unions in the state and each is ex-
pected to have representative at the
annual meeting.
j. N. Tittemore, president of the ma
tional and state organizations, is now
in Washington, attending the indus
trial conference on appointment of
President Wilson.

Both Sides Cautious.

So far the opposition to Mr.. Title
more has not developed its candidacy
for the presidency or announced plans
for control of the organization. Neither
has Mr.. Tittemore announced that he
will be candidate, but the fact that
a score of local unions in the state
have Endorsed him would indicate that
he will again enter.
The opposition to Mr.. Tittemore is
led by Assemb1yman C. B. Ballard,
Appleton; ]. Weller Long, Madison;

also of the national society. He holds
the presidency in both societies Mr.
Tittemore has been opposed to the en-
croachments and some of the policies
of the Nonpartisan league, which is
gaining foothold in this state. The
leading opponent to Mr.. Tittemore's
policies is j. Weller Long, secretary
of the national organization. Mr.. Long
is considered by many Of the Equity
leaders as radical"

FEEDING CRYING BABIES
From the Extension Division of the
University of Wisconsin.
II. E. DEARHoLT., M D., DIRECTOR

The mother who feeds her infant
every time he cries has unjustifable
lack of confidence in the wisdom of
that baby. She shows an equally I'M
Unsuitable lack Of confidence in the sum
total of knowledge that all the experts
in feeding babies have acquired since
the dawn of civilization.
A horse owner would not trust to the
judgment Of old Dobbin by giving him
the liberty of going to the oat or corn
bin whenever his appetite dictated.
And yet, putting parental pride aside,
we all know that old Dobbin has as
good Judgment as the average baby a
few weeks old, Besides which, the
baby usually is not hungry when he
cries.
Perhaps the realization, by a great
many mothers, that most babies do bet
fer on feelings not closer together than
every four hours, has done more to re-
duce infant deaths and infant sickness
than any other single bit of knowledge.
At any rate it seems to me that this
fact constitutes the very beginning of
exact knowledge Of how to rear babies
successfully.
Some babies may need feeding every
three hours. Possibly there may be
some who need food oftener IF so,
they need very competent doctor and
good deal of personal study and ex-
pert attention.
We shall send, free of cost, a Baby
Feeding Chart" which was prepared by
a Committee of Expert Baby Specialists
to any mother who will send her name
and address to University Health In
strnction Bureau, All Van Buren, street,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

After putting five layers of ice in the
big house on the river bank, the harvest
has ended and the situation here is as
critical as elsewhere in the state. There
are about six inches of good ice now
which is quite encouraging for the
dealers when they take into consider
alton that the river was open about two
weeks ago. Balmy weather is great
thing for the coal bin but practically
assures us of an ice famine next sum-
mer 1t looks to us like case of heads

TAX RETURNS
A Warning

Madison, visa warning against
"fake experts" on Income Tax has been
sounded by the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, in statement received by Col
lector Williams from the Commissioner
Daniel G. Roper
Business houses and individual tax
payers are being canvassed this year by
numerous so called Income Tax Ex-
perts," who offer to use their magic
waDds of Income Tax wisdom to re-
lieve the busy taxpayer from all worries
about his tax responsibilities.
[ desire to make public announcement
for the information Of taxpayers, that
an investigation Of the qualifications of
many of these experts will disclose the
fact that very few have had the training
and experience that would place them
anywhere near the expert class.
Some of them were formerly tenn
porary employees of the government,
who are attempting to capitalize this
fact regardless of their personal know
ledge of the revenue laws and regula
tons. Others are soliciting clients on
the strength of diplomas as Income Tax
experts obtained after taking long dis
lance courses by means Of printed in
structions Of doubtful value.
Taxpayers should not allow them
selves to be imposed upon by strangers
who claim to be Income Tax experts.
They should discriminate carefully be-
tween really helpful, authoritative advice
in tax matters, and the irresponsible
brand peddled under glittering pre-
lenses.
The Bureau is arranging to furnish
for the benefit of Income Tax payers in
every city and town in the country, a
free advisory service by trained collec
tors, agents, inspectors, and deputies at
the Offices of Collectors and their Depu-
ties, and at other central points, free
information and advice with respect to
Bill may be had up to the final date for
filing such returns.
Banks, trust companies, and similar
responsible institutions have always Coz
operated in furnishing authentic Income
Tax information, and have generously
offered to serve the government and
taxpayers in this respect again this year.
It is the aim of the Bureau to bring
it's agencies as close as possible to every
person and to make available in official
form all necessary information regard
ing the requirements of the law. The
Bureau welcomes aid from every re-
sponsible agency.in it's effort to enlight-
en- the people on tax matters
