with his fellow workers. Some of the
states now permit it, as organizations
of capital and labor are permitted to
operate for their own protection. But
others of the states do not permit the
farmers to do this, and now republi-
can statesmen are seeking to secure
congressional approval Of national
law through the Capper-Hersmann
bill, which is indorsed generally by
farmers, in their behalf.
The Capper- Hersmann law would
authorize farmers to market their
products in a cooperative way. 1t
would place in their hands weapon
already possessed by other interests
and it will be difficult to deny them
the right, in the existing conditions.
There should, of course, be ample
safeguards against abuse. But there
is national need of greater produc
ton on the farm, and this bill would
Go something toward encouraging It
Somewhere along the line of produc-
ton and marketing there must be pro
vision made for less Wast2ge in hand
ling expense. If that be accomplish
ed then the farmer will not only be
assisted, but the public as well. With
out that the day will come when the
consumers, too, must be protected by
organization.-Sea Post.

Volstead Ruled OFF

Andrew j. Volstead, present repre-
sentative, was ruled off the state Re
publican ticket for congressman IN
the Seventh district by the state
supreme court today, when it re
yersed the decision of Judge Albert
johnson in the Volstead Kvale prim-
ary contest. The Rev. 0. J. Kvale
of Benson received majority of the
votes cast for the congressional nom
nation in the district. He was
charged with violation of the cor
rupt practices act by Volstead, the
nominee. Kvale carried the contest
to the supreme court, alleging Judge
johnson exceeded his authority in
holding Volstead the nominee. The
contention was that the court should
have declared vacancy.
The supreme court sustained the
contention, holding there is a vancancy
on the Republican ticket for congress
man in the Seventh district. This,
ii IS presumed, will call for special
primary in the district before cleo
ton November 2, or will allow either
candidate to file as an Independent
candidate for Acknowledgements

Legislation for Farmers

Recent years of population move
ment to the cities have brought a
shortage of farm energy in proper
ton to the public which it should
serve. In the circumstances, over
burdened with work, and doing the
best he can to feed the country and
part of the outside world, the farmer
is in need Of encouragement, and for
the added reason that he complains of
being short-changed in the food marts,
and in receipt of too small proportion
of the price the final purchaser pays
for his product.
- s.assssses< ...se political parties are pay
ing some attention to the farmers
plant. He is confident that he could
improve his condition if he be auth
orized to form selling pools, to mark
ct his product in full understanding

Does This Mean You?

When you want newspaper favors,
you strike your home paper, don't
you?
If you want your town doomed
and your property increased in value,
you expect the home paper to do it
for nothing, don't you?
You kick because your home pa
per hasn't as much reading matter
as the big dailies, don't you?
And you preclude the home paper
from thinking this is a good place for
it, by not giving it sufficient patron
age, don't you?
You frequently sneak off to some
big city print shop to get job work
done, to save a few cents, don't you?
You are mighty free about telling
what good thing for the community
a home paper is, but you are back
ward when it comes to helping that
paper with the price of years SUBJ
scription, aren't you?
The home paper doesn't charge
you interest on back subscription,
but you wait till the last thing before
paying it, don't you?
You are mighty anxious to have
the home paper spend money with
you, but you are careful to spend as
little as possible with it, aren't you?
You think the publisher can live on
promises and pay his bills with the
same material, don't you?
You think he can forever digest the
fact that his paper is good thing for
the community, and not receive any
thing in return. But he can't do it,
now, can he ?-Levang's Weekly.

DELAY IN PAYMENT
Of TAXES DOOMED
Lawmakers Hold Request Is
ImpracticabIe and Unfair
Tax Revision Planned.

Income tax relief legislation re-
quested by business interests is inn
practicable at this session of Con-
gress, republican members of the Sem
ate finance committee decided TODAY
at an informal conference.
This decision is in line with a SINH
lar one by republicans of the House
ways and means committee yesterday.
and, it was said, virtually closes the
door to tax-revision Legislation during
the present session.
The Treasury's condition, as OUT
lined by Secretary Houston, republic
can senators said, made impossible the
tax concessions urged by business
extend the plan of installment pay
ment of income taxes and also to al.
low reduction of last years losses in
computing business taxes.
Delay Held Unfair.
! The dates for payment of income
tax quotas were March Is, June IL.
September Is and December Is. The
business men wanted the latter date
extended so as to get a reappraisal
of assets as of March Is, instead of
January l, claiming that during the
intervening time there had been seri-
Gus depreciation of their stocks.
In the ways and means committee it
was urged that it would be unfair and
impractical to make such an extern
sion. 1t would be unfair to those
who had paid their entire taxes in
one lump in advance. 1t would be i'm
practical because If the time were ex-
tended and reappraisal made. for
those who have not paid the last pay
ment it should in justice be done for
those who have paid, and it would be
an impossible task to refigure all
these accounts and make refunds, the
committee decided.
The committee at it's meeting yes
terday showed growing interest in
the proposed final sales tax in sub
stitution for the excess profits lew.
and 1T was shown that throughout the
states the forward looking people are
leaning toward such a plan for tax
revision.
Republican members of Congress-
took the first steps toward revision
of tax and tariff laws at the extra
session to be called soon after next
March 4.
Plan Tax and Tarfn Changes.
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee announced that his
committee would begin hearings with
