business interests in the South and West, seeing
their ruin threatened, along with the farmers,
added their demands for relief.
The natural result was nonpartisan combi-
nation IN both houses of congress, of western
Republicans and southern Democrats, to secure
some form of immediate relief for the agricul-
tural industry.
AS the ticker service of the grain exchange car
ried the news of the organization of this combina
tion, beginning about two weeks before congress
convened the price of wheat went up day by day
on the Chicago and Minneapolis markets, making
an advance of more than 20 cents from a low point
of 81. 40 to $1.62.
The senate committee on agriculture was assem-
bled in informal session before congress convened
and determined to revive the War Finance corpora
tion, which by extending credit to southern cotton

But while the nonpartisan combination Of vest
ern Republicans and southern Democrats was busy,

FARMERS AT LAST ARE
SPEAKING FOR THEMSELVES

"The farmer and his son were here Ihe ti
again. The farmer said, Since neither our cl;
neighbors relatives have come to
help us harvest this wheat, get the scythe
and sharpen it. We will start to harvest this wheat
ourselves tomorrow"
"oho," said the old larks, NOW it is time for us
to move!'
That farmers are at last about to get some
form of remedial action is due to the fact that
they have quit depending upon their neighbors
and relatives and are out to take action by
themselves.
Senators and representatives from the West, ar
irving at Washington preliminary to the opening of
the session of congress, were of one voice in de-
mandng that something must be done and done inn
medately. They pointed out that in spite Of the
national Republican landslide the Nonpartisan
league had polled record vote, it's candidates for
governor in Minnesota and Washington, running
Independently, polling respectively 35 and 80 per
cent of the total votes Of these states that in Colo
rado and Montana, where League candidates for
governor were on the Democratic ticket, they had
run thousands of votes ahead Of the Democratic
candidate for president and that the protests of the
The nonpartisan leader., 1920-12-27

help farmers as a class and that the
manufacturers of the Atlantic seaboard
were entitled to just as much considera-
ton as the farmers.
1t is interesting to note that after
wheat had been going up for two
weeks, making 22-cent advance
during the time that western and
southern congressman were getting
together to revive the War Finance
corporation, wheat dropped in price
cents December z, the day that Sena-
tor Lodge prevented action from be-
ing taken.

insist that the law of supply and demand

lack of aid which congress could have given them.
But it appears, at last, that congress has dis
covered that there farmers in the United States
and that they need immediate help. Some form of
relief is probable from the present session of
gress, which convened December 6.
There are two reasons for expecting favorable
action.
One is that Nonpartisan league can

OIL PR0SPECT0RS MAY
USE PLANES TO REACH
SN0WB0UND FIELDS

Vancouver, b, c., Dec. 27.--Sev-
eral daring Canadian oil prospec-
tors are considering using airplanes
to fly 500 miles into the snow
bound new oil fields near Fort
Norman, northeast of here, and
stake their claims in advance of
the stampede expected over the
trails to Norman in the spring.
All attempts to go overland into
\ the Fort Norman country during
the winter have been blocked by
the Royal Canadian mounted po-
lice, who are holding back scores
of prospectors at the Peace river
crossing. The prospectors will be
allowed to strike for the district
when the ice leaves the rivers in
the spring.
According to Mai. C. MacLaprin,
superintendent of the Jericho air
station of the Dominion of Canada
air board, it would be possible to
fly from the coast to the oil fields
and return in one day. The plane
would be outfitted on the coast
near Fort Norman and would soar
across the white mountain ranges
which cannot now be crossed on
foot.
The plane, Major MacLaurin
thinks, could be equipped with
runners, by means of which land
ings could be made on the ice of
rivers and lakes which abound
near Fort Norman.
About twenty claims were staked
in the district before the police
closed the area last autumn and 1t
is said some of the most promis-
ing claims are yet to be.
