DR.. LADD SEES BUT ONE
REMEDY FOR CONDITIONS

President e. F. Laid, In his
address to the Tri-state Grain
Growers at Fargo, January IS,
1919, said:
"In my Judgment agriculture
will continue to grow LESS
and LESS profitable, farm ten
ancy will largely increase and
the cost Of food products will
continue to grow higher and
higher for tho consumer, that
Is, the spread In price between
what tho farmer received and
> what the consumer is forced to
pay, just 80 long as we toier-
alto the present monopoIistic
control Of food products.
Monopoly welcomes legisla-
tlon which makes it more diff
cult for the small handler Of
food products, for monopoly
eliminates all intermediary ex-
penses and reaps a harvest
under such restrictions.
"There 10 but ONE REMEDY
} as now see it, namely:
municipal, state and federal
control Of those things in
which all have a common in.
terest; municipal control Of
public markets; state control
of elevators, warehouses, cold
storage plants, flour mills,
packing plants and creameries,
while the federal government
takes control of all lines Of
transportation, terminal eIeva-
tors and warehouses, and all
telegraph and telephone lines
and develops a banking system
to enable the farmer to secure
ready funds with which to con-
duct his farm operations at
reasonable rates, on short or
long terms, as required"
This is DR.. Ladd's remedy,
arrived at after a study of con-
ditions for many years. 1t is
the remedy which the farmers'
organization has put into law,
SO far as the state is concerned.
You will be called upon, June
26th, to say whether you are
willing or not to try this rem
edy, when you go to the polls
to vote upon the seven laws
that the enemies of this plan
have caused to be referred to
you, for your approval or re-
lection. How will Or. Laid
vote? How will you vote?
