THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
READ BEFORE SIGNING.

Attorney General Lemke has re-
Gently received letters from several
farmers stating that some farmers in
their section had signed /. V. A. re-
call petitions without knowing what
they we're signing and wanted to
know if names 80 secured could be
withdrawn from the petitions.
First.-Signatures secured to any
petitions in any such manner can be
withdrawn by the signer and if with
drawalsis refused, the attorney general
office should be Immediately notified
by the signer. All who have signed
the recall petitions without knowing
what they were signing should i'm
mediately demand that their names
be taken from the petitions and
should promptly inform the attorney
generals Office Of the action they
have taken, whether the request to
withdraw is granted or not by the I.
v. AS.
Second-Better read everything you
are asked to sign these days before
putting your fist to it, else the signer
may wake up in the fix of a certain
town-full of citizens, who, obligingly
signing a petition presented to them
without first raadlng it found that
thew had petitioned the governor of a
southern state to set aside a day on
which they should all be hanged!
Look before you leap. is a wise old
saying, and read before you sign. is
a still wiser and far safer to go by.

WHERE WAS NESTOS?

r. A. Nestos. the /. V. A. candi-
date for governor, wants the manage.
ment of the state institutions kept
out of politics. By this, we presume
he means the kinds of politics his
state knocking hackers deal in. But,
be this as it may, we have a hazy
recollection that in 1914 when Judge
Young and Tracy r. Bangs had Pro-
feesor Lewinssohn fired from the ia
Guilty of the law school at the state
university because the professor had
exercised his right of citizenship and
had taken part in the progressive
republican convention that nominated
Usher L. Budick for governor against
L. b. Hanna. Nestos was as silent
as a clam. Young's action resulted in
the resignation of the head of the
law school, together with a number
Of other members of the faculty Of
the University who refused to bow

Northern Pacific dictator, but. Tho

PRICES. OF FARM CROPS
BELOW PRE- WAR AVERAGE

The prices of SIX of the important
crops on May 1 Of this year we're
below the pre-war average prices for
that date according to figures collect
ed by the Bureau of Crop Estimates,
United States Department of Agri.
culture. These crops are corn, oats,
barley, fax. potatoes and cotton.
The report showed that the prices of
the three grains wheat, rye, and
buck wheat were above the prewar
average prices. During April the
average prices of wheat declined
from $1.50 to 81. % per bushel. The
report shows that in general the in
dustrial crops, such as flax, cotton
and broom corn are the most depress.
ed in prices, and that food crops,
such as wheat, rye, potatoes and
apples relatively less decline.
The prices in various parts of the
country vary, with South Dakota be.
ing the center IF the low.prices dis
trict, May / report shows. The aver
age prices of wheat in that state was
80 cents per bushel, and in some
counties it was as low as 70 cents.
Corn was selling at an average price
of 80 cent per bushel in South Dakota
while the average for the United
States being 36.8 cents. The report
showed a big decline in the price of
old potatoes, especially in Michigan
where the average was 20 cents a
bushel, which was 20 cents below
the Uuited States.
The above is from the newa bulle-
tin (5-3O-2l) of the Federal Depart.
ment of Agriculture. You will note
that the farmers in the "model''
state of South Dakota have been de
fiated harder than anywhere else.
Moral: organize economically and
politically or be Debated and beggar.

farmers, merchants and worker.

COMMUNICATION.

To the Editor of the Farmers Press:
Not long ago | was talking to g
farmer not far from Wales and the
talk led to the methods the I. v. AS
are using in their campaign and here
is the gist of what he said. In their
admissions that the League Program
was good they showed their insincerity
by fighting it at every turn. For inst
ance, in their own audit of the Bank
of North Dakota. They admit the
bank made $176. 600, but then turn
around and say it lost So. 900, 600 to
the state. In their examination of the
Scandinavian Bank they talk of the
poor paper, but fail to mention that
paper was replaced by gilt edged
8 curity of individual farmers notes,
Also they blame the Bank of North
Dakota for those frozen loans where
their own COMPOUNDED banking system
was to blame for the whole thing by
withholding money from the state
through the Federal Bank and pur-
posely did all they could to embarrass
the money situation when they should
have been helping matters along. In
short he said in all financial mat
tiers they were like a man trying
to drive his horse hind-end first. They
we're willing that we sell our bonds,
providing that a certain group of
them could handle them, in return
that we should return to the old
methods of financing the state and as
that has proven disastrous in the past
be it said to the credit of our admin
istration they refused to sell us into
bondage in financial matters, and now
for the wisdom of Lemke and Frazier
and Hagan and others the bonds are
going to be sold and the farmers pro.
gram will go ahead triumphantly. An
other point he noted was that they
pretend, always fighting the individ-
ual instead of the issues, while in
reality they are simply after the off.
GERS and look at the list Of them.
They have put up traitors from the
camp of the League But the main
weakness he said lay in the matter
of their campaign lies against indi-
vidual and Misrepresentation of facts
and their frantic efforts to vilify the
administration that represent the best
we have in the state. He told US a
lot more of his views on politics and
other matters PERTAINING to the issues
of the day, said he was convinced the
League Program would get through
in good season. All reforms had to
fight their way and he said it was
wonderful how much the League pro-
gram had accomplished. Before the
League started the farmers were
helplessly dependent but now they
are full of pep ready to over come
any obstacle. We thanked him for his
nice talk and went our way rejoicing
The fact is we have found these
same kind every where and it is
only a matter of time that the per-
niciur plans of the 1. V. A. goes
down like a house of candy before
the onslaughter of the producing class
there will be a new deal all around
and every class will get a just deal
as far as human effort will make it
Respectfully
Signed: Magnus Snowfeld.
