We cannot expect to have freedom
of speech. In Russia when the Cars
government was overthrown and the
Kerensky party commenced to es-
tablish political democracy such as
we have in this country, what hap
pened to the Cars imperial minis
ters? They were arrested, just in
the same way as King Georges
ministers would have been arrested
by George Washington's State if
they had stuck around, and just in
the same way that Tories were ar
rested who did stick around. In the
same way when the Bolsheviki took
hold, when the workers rebelled
against the business men, the new
Government, the Dictatorship Of the
Proletariat, arrested and took all
steps necessary to curb the liberties
Of those who tried to overthrow the
workers government. In times of
crisis governments always curb their
opponents. There is always crisis
when the economic foundations of
those whom the government repre-
sents are insecure and when the
economic condition, the standard of
living Of those opposed to the gov
ernment, is bad enough to cause un-
rest.
When the Bolsheviki first assumed
power the economic foundation Of
that government, the organization
of production by the workers, was
not established. At the same time
the business men were restless be-
cause their standard of living was
reduced to that of the workers,
lower standard than they were used
to when they had exploited the work.

rensky. There was therefore crisis.
At present in this country there
is crisis because industry is dis
organized. Business men who are in
business to produce only what we
need do not know now what to pro-
duce or what to sell. Unemployment
and wage reductions have reduced
the workers standard Of living, and
there is unrest. The business mems
government feels the crisis and acts
to strengthen itself by taking away
our right to speak and organize.
We cannot afford to let the gov

the reason for it to all workers. Fol-

Those Of us who are working must
show our solidarity by raising all
the money necessary to fight the
cases and to take care of deportees'
families in distress, so that the gov
ernment may know that we recog-
nize an attack on our freedom Of
speech as an attack on our class,
and so that we may strengthen our

WITHDRAW Land
APPLICATION

Application for the segregation of
100000 acres of land known as the
Big Bruneau project was formally
withdrawn recently, says Boise re-
port. State Reclamation Commits
sioner W. G. Swendsen issued an or
der to that effect to the Boise and
HALEY land offices and returned to
the Twin Falls Bruneau Land and
Water company it's filing fee OF
5000 The application for the
withdrawal was made by Judge J..
Fl. Richards of Boise, representing
the company. It was filed with the
state reclamation commissioner on
January IA. The commissioner took
formal action on behalf of the state
to ask for the withdrawal on Mon
day.
The original application on behalf
oil the state for withdrawal OF the
Big Bruneau lands from all forms Of
entry was made on September 20,
1919, and was formally filed with
the United States land offices at
HALEY and Boise. The receivers of
these two offices denied the applica-
ton because the land had been
withdrawn from all forms of entry
by the government under an act in
1902. The state, through the rec
lamation department. appealed from
the order of denial to the general
land office, which had received the
states application.
1t is understood that the delay at
Washington on the application for
segregation and the stringent finan-
cial situation had much to do with
the decision to withdraw the appli-
cation.

Market Conditions.

Market conditions and market
quotations for Idaho potatoes re-
NAMED fairly steady during the
past week.
Hauling throughout the month
has been light on account of the con-
dtion of the roads, but the demand
is good.
Market prices OF seeds OF all
varieties are much lower during the
present year than a year ago. Red
clover that sold at So cents pound
year ago, sells today for 20 cents
pound. If the farmer has any idea
of seeding his field to clover or alfal-
ia he should buy now The price
,on first class alfalfa seed, which
was SO cents pound a year ago is
rs cents pound now, with rea-
sonable reduction for purchases in
quantity. Many other varieties OF
seed are equally low. Alsike ana
white clover nave apppai ch'i'
weathered the gale better than
most other seeds produced in Ida
no, although alsike clover is selling
at practically half the price OF that
prevailing in 1920. White clover
is even higher than the prices of
1920.
All grass seeds show a tendency to
llower prices, with the exception OF
Kentucky blue grass, which is firm
to slightly higher than during 1871.
Seed garden peas and field peas are
slightly lower, while seed wheat
and seed oats are lower and ranging
in prices according to quality.
or grades Of red clover and alfal-
IA are hard to move to the eastern
buyers at rs cents Of the value a

slow seller, but indications are that
conditions will improve as the sea-

This story has its lessons to farmers
everywhere. There are some 400 ma

all supported literally, all doing ef-
fective work for their membership.
Every big business has had a ma

Food spectators believe in organi-
cation for themselves, but not fer
the farmers. They hope you will
quit the Farm Bureau.
Our advice to you is to stick to the
Farm Bureau Federation. It is pro
ceeding steadily and surely. 1t al

results. 1t will accomplish many
more if still more farmers get back

from the members of the big ma

loyal.

too, just as much as the banker needs
his financial journal. THE CoUN-

news articles are gathered from all

and opportunities. There is lot of

humor. Only ST. brings you So big
