Middlemen and Specula-
tors to Be Left to
"Roost,' Farm
Leader Says
FOR GOOD OF ALL
Aim Not to Align Class
es Against Each
Other

1t took the United States hund.
red years to come to an understand
ing all round as to the elimination
of slavery, and it takes any body
Of the citizenry long always to real
ize the trend of great movements
which affect each individual just a
little. Therefor it is only natural
that during our period of westward
expansion the farmers have stood for
many abuses Of power by those
whose part it was to distribute to
the world what the farms produced.
Farmers have seen clearly for
years that middlemen who handled
their crops made more profit out Of
the soil than they did themselves.
They deprecated this more and more
as they became more and more con-
scious Of it. Gradually they have
been brought together by seeking
better ways Of farming and while CO.
operating in county associations they
turned to the selling problems, with
the result that a great idea is now
penetrating every district in the
land. slowly and surely, and in the
end the farmer will control the sale,
and distribution of his produce be-
cause Of the idea. .-
J. R. Howard. a farmer of Glenn
ons, Iowa, a sheep raiser aud presi-.
dent of the Iowa Farm Bureau fed.
GRAFTON, outlines the objectives of
the great idea in an interview with
a representative df Printers Ink
This farmers bureau pooled all the
wool produced by it's members, put
it in warehouses in chicago where
it was graded. sold it for double what
they received per pound while de-
pending upon the tender mercies of
the buyers in previous years.
And they said: Why not ma
tional organization Of farmers to do
this same thing?"' The idea then
began to travel, and Mr.. Howard in
tends to help it home by means of
a great advertising campaign. Farm
ers practically everywhere belong to
county farm bureaus and it will not
be impossible to join them in one
big national association for collec-
i've marketing. It must be decided
BY congress definitely that collective
shall be considered legal
n this country, and committee
the Iowa movement is
1t Washington to get congress to act
IN a resolution that has already been
in the house.

grafton is an outcome of the county |
arm bureau idea, which was in its
urn the outcome of an awakening |

make something out of their busi-

A HOT SPEECH
Senator Yeaman of Ida
no Falls Throws a
Bomb Among
Publishers
CHANGES ARE DUE
Present Disasters Warn
of Coming Crisis and
Possible Failure

At the recent meeting of the Idaho
Republican Press club at HALEY
Senator Yeaman, editor of The Idaho
Register, won distinction by break
ing out in new place." and telling
the publishers right to their teeth
where to head in to save their busi-
ness from going on the rocks in these
days of worriment.
They had listened to speakers who
described the current conditions as
to labor shortage, and the certainty
that it will continue, to grow worse
due to the fact that apprentices are
not being taught the trade and due
to the further fact that nobody can
really afford to take in beginners
and teach them thru the months and
years necessary to perfect them in
the work. Then there was the cer-
tainty that there will be a clash be-
tween the employers and the unions
to see whether ell shops can be open
shops, or all shall be union shops
and the union rules governing every
mans business so that he has little
To say about who shall work and
what the pay shall be or how ,diligent
or how trifling any one on the job
shall be. = ~
A Gloomy Oatlook u, Z. {.
The third element Of gloom was;
the scarcity Of print paper and the
certainty that it will be come more
and more scarce for another year
or more.
Each one Of these three troubles
is enough to put publishers out of
business ON short notice, and when
all are combined in their menace. it
calls for high courage to go on op-
Grating. The whole body of news
paper men in the meeting seemed
stumped, and Senator Yeaman with
coat off and sleeves rolled up to
his shoulders took the floor and Wig
orously hammered his protest into
them In this manner: |
Yeaman's Haily Speech |
with all these troubles staring
us in the face, l am sure we can
solve them if we will only use the
brains which the Creator gave us. 1t
used to be that every town of any
size had an eight-page
newspaper. Now every village of
any size has its newspaper, and every
town has two newspapers of from
eight to sixteen pages. Every big
town has two or three papers and
some job printing houses, and there
Is such a duplication of capital and
Of labor that they are all held down
20 more or less of poverty, and they
deserve to be.
In my town, for instance, there |
are three papers, and each of them
las reporter writing up the same
news item, each one has a linotype
setting it in type, each has press
printing it later in the day, and each
las a set of news boys delivering
hem by hand and another set Of
people in the office sending other
papers out by mail. 1t is a waste of
skilled labor, of capital and of paper.

later than that, say o'clock, he
consented.
When it was time to close the
office he remembered his promise to
them, and also recalled that on the
last day for filing for the primaries
Fred Nelson came In from Basalt
to file, at some time after o.
clock, just as he was leaving the
building, when the office was locked.
He refused to open up and file Mr..
Nelson, and now he had promised
to make greater concession to these
other gentlemen. He went to the
telephone and tried to call them up
to cancel his agreement and learned
that they were in Blackfoot. He
went about town looking and inquir-
ing for them. At 6:45 he received
a telephone call from them and then
delivered his message, but they ex-
pressd disappointmnt and went to
his house at something after 7 o.
clock, and asked him to stand by
his original agreement. 1t was af-
ter the time they had mentioned, he
had decided that his former action
in making the promise was mistake
and was unfair to others, and he
told them he would not receive it.
They did not tender nor display any
petition.

TO ADVERTISE ALASKA.

Bureau officials at Washington are to be warmly commended, says the Railway and Marine News, for the decision that a large sum is to be appropriated for advertising Alaska, as in no other manner can the trav. cling public be attracted. This has been amply proved by the many American and Canadian steamship lines operating to and from Alaska, who have collectively during the past twenty years expended three million dollars in advertising the scenic at fractions and industrial opportuni- ties of the Northland. Naturally one cannot expect to hear that the Government would appropriate d proportionate sum annually for any such purse, but any expenditure in the populous centers of the East cannot fail to attract attention to the Territory and at the same time it will be helpful to the Territory in
 many other ways. The greatest care, however, should be used by those who prepare these advertise ments, to prevent any rush to the North of indigents, laborers, or oth- CTS not possessing a small amount of capital with which to provide for their own needs; otherwise the Gov ernment would be greatly embar- rassed in having to send ship north to bring such people out. For years past Alaska advertising has ever discouraged this particular class from moving northward Conditions are so unlike those of any other country that the only people desired from an industrial viewpoint are those possessed of either the ability or capital to invest and then de- velop. To advertise the scenic at fractions for the tourists and then the wonderful opportunity for le- gitimate investment and industrial development will prove of the great est passible benefit to the Territory at large.

 This is sort of journalism that once upon a time was familiar to Americans, but fortunately it has all but completely passed away with many of the undesirable things of the decades that have gone. How ever, it is because there are still some of them here and there that we continue to hear people say once in while that you can't believe anything you see in the papers,"

GOOD LESSON FOR THOSE WHO
 WILL HEED.

The act of Charles E. Heron in going into criminal court and pleading guilty to having committed crime by printing things about a responsible citizen of the Territory that he admitted were not true, and causing editorial comment to be made that was not true, and by sign ing statement in which he not only publicly retracted what he had said, but admitted that the man he had traduced was a respectable and honorable citizen, ought to be a lesson to some of the self-styled newspapermen of Alaska, believes the Alaska (Juneau) Daily Empire. Some of these men who pretend to be newspaper men persistently write simply what they think will serve their purposes, regardless of facts or truth. They apparently know nothing of the history of Alaska
 current or past, and care less. They write like people who never investi
 gate anything. They say thing: that people know are not true. They misquote people whose acts anc words are we'll known. They dis
 tort words almost before the echt of their utterance has ceased tt ring. They never retract, ever when their lies are nailed on them

PALMER'S REVOLUTION CD.

Everybody is laughing at A. Mitchell Palmer's May Day "revo- lution," says the New York World. The joke is certainly on A. Mitch. ell Palmer, but the matter is not wholly a joke.
 The spectacle of a cabinet officer going about surrounded with armed guards because he is afraid of his own handmade bogey is a sorry one, even though it appeals to the humor of Americans.
 1 Of course, the terrible "revolu- tion" did not come off. Nobody with grain of sense supposed 1t would.
 l Yet, in spite of universal laugh ter, the people are seriously dis
 gusted with these official Red scares. They cost the taxpayers thousands
 of dollars spent in assembling sol
 diers and policemen and in paying
 wages and expenses to Mir. Palmer's
 agents.
 They help to frighten capital and
 demoralize business, and to make timid men and women nervous and
 jumpy.
 As a matter of fact, there is nc
 more danger that the few thousand
 Reds" scattered over our vast ter. ,ritory will attempt an armed revolu. tion than there is that the Wool
 worth and Singers buildings vii waltz down Broadway together. | The whole thing is mixture o1
 personal cowardice and cheap de
 partment politics.
