form" societies or rather leaders,
could have their way and manipulate
congress and our courts, it would not
be long until the streams Of America
would flow crimson with the blood Of
martyrs as they did in Europe during
the days of medievalism. under a
union of CHURCH and STATE.
Since they aim to apply these dras-
tic 'blue laws" to the whole nation as
well as the inhabitants of the District
of Columbia, who are helpless because
of being disfranchised, It behooves
every citizen of the United States, to
stand up for his own and his brothers
rights under the constitutional guaran-
tee of religious liberty. These COM
pulsory Sunday observance bills, II en-
acted into law, would destroy every
immunity and guarantee of the rights
of the individual, of the dictates of
conscience, of freedom in religion. and
would impose yoke of bondage upon
the American people, worse than the
Pharisees and Scribes of Christ's day
ever imposed upon the Jewish people.
An appeal should be made to every
American citizen, to the American
press, and to every Christian who
loves the fundamental principles OF
American liberty and christianity
that does not rest upon force and con-
sequent Hypocrisy, to petition his rep
resentatives and senator in congress 20
use his influence against the passage
of these un-American and UNI Christian
bils.-S. 635 and H. r. 1854.
A further appeal should be made To
the Congressman to stand by the con-
stitu.ional guarantees OF civil and re-
ligious liberty which our constitutional
forefathers handed down to us as an
heritage of freedom. and which con-
gress has thus far so grandly and mob
y safe guarded when assailed in the
past.
Very sincerely yours,

Blue Law Legislation.

To The Editor
Liberty-loving citizens throughout
the United States should be alarmed
over the activities of the Sunday blue
law reformers, and voice their opposi-
tion to the efforts that are now being
put forth to bring to life the two COM
pulsory Sunday observance bills that
were introduced at the beginning of
the last session of congress-one in
the Senate and the other in the House
of Representatives The Lords Day
Alliance, represented by DR.. Harry l..
Bowby, and the international Reform
Bureau, represented by DR. Wilbur +.
Crafts, are the instigators and pro-
moters of a campaign to Puritanize
the District of Columbia and Ultimate
ly the whole United States. These two
bills which they had introduced, and
which they framed, prohibit all un-
necessary things on Sunday. If these
bills are enacted into law, they would
transport the inhabitants of the Dis
trict Of Columbia back to the days
when Puritanism held absolute sway
in all things civil and religious. All
privileges, outside of church attend
ancc. would be denied them.
But this is only small part of the
program. The law is to be model
law for the whole nation, after the
battle has been won in the District Of
Columbia. This Sunday Blue Law for
the District is simply to serve as an
entering wedge, for flood Of religious
legislation to follow of the most dras-
tic nature II these 40 called ere

forth an honest, intelligent effort, back
al by sound business, for the solu-
ION of this problem and is entitled to
the cooperation and the support Of
every farmer, banker and business
man" o. E. Bradfute, Vice President
A. F.. Il. r. in his speech at Bingham
ton, New York, on the 10th anniver-
sary celebration OF the starting Of the
Farm Bureau movement, said along
this line that ''the marketing problem
is designed to eliminate the waste and
confusion which has developed in dis
tribution. All the farmer needs is to
apply the Golden Rule but apply it
both ways.
Cooperative marketing then prom
ises relief because the farmer thru
his cooperative marketing associations
proposes to assume some of the dis
tribution and marketing responsible
ty. Whenever this plan has been prop
erly administered, it has proven sue
cessful to consumer in equitable dis
tribution at far price and success
full to producer in fair returns, allow
ing the law of supply and demand to
FUNCTION properly, instead of letting
the consumer supply what the profit
Ger demands"
In practically every state in the
union efforts are being made to per
feet cooperative marketing operations.
The A. F. b. F. has expended lot
of money and effort to work out ma
tion wide plans on standard commod-
tiles. The report of the Committee Of
II which is being universally approv-
ed, is the first tangible result and bids
fair TO set a precedent for all time
along this line.

Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, India
ma and Colorado and several other
states have passed lot of legislation
for the relief of farmers. The almost
universal need for this legislation is
evidenced by the fact that very little
and in many instances, no opposition
was offered. This also proves that the
conservative farmers are not asking
for anything that is radical, or react
ionary, but are insisting on what they
consider right and just and a mater
ial aid to the common good of Ameri-
can industry.

He declared that every farmer in
America should become member of

the Farm Bureau is developing local
leadership as evidence OF an awaken

Legislation that affects the farm

of farmers and farmers organizations
in several states during the past few
months. In Minnesota, the Senate
passed four of these bills in less than
three hours and President l.. +. Pot
ter of the State Farm Bureau stated
that the Farm Bureau had won dc

The Birthday of an Idea

At Binghamton, N. Y, on March 81.
1921, was celebrated the tenth birth
day anniversary of the establishment
of the first county farm bureau. The
President of the Broome County Farm
Bureau Association, the President of
the New York State Fcderatio
County Farm Bureaus and the Vice
President of The American Farm Bu-
reau Federation were present to point
out the present Importance and signif-
icance of the great nation wide NOV
ment which has developed from the
beginning in Binghamton ten years
ago.
On March 20, 1911, the first farm
bureau in the United States was start
ed as an adjunct to the Binghamton
Chamber OF Commerce. The finances
were provided by the United States
Department of Agriculture, the Bing-
hamton Chamber Of Commerce, and
the Lackawanna Railroad. The New
York State College of Agriculture lent
educational assistance and direction.
John Fl. Barron was employed as the
first county agent in the northern and
western states. At that time there
were some 800 county agents at work
in the South, but there were no farm
bureaus.
james Quinn, Master of the Pomo-
na Grange, was the first President of
the Broome County Farm Bureau. He
presided at the anniversary. w. J.
Spillman, Washington. D. c., explain
ed that he had no idea when he went
to Binghamton 10 years ago as a De-
partment of Agriculture official to as
sist in the organization Of the farm
bureau department Of the Binghamton
Chamber of Commerce, that he was
helping SOW seed which would grow
into the American Farm Bureau Fed

Cooperative Marketing Promises
Relief


Judging by reports from many sec
tions of the country, Cooperative
Marketing is the most promising re-
lief advanced to better the economic
condition of all industry, especially the
farmer, and incidentally the consum
er.
The calamity which befell the pro-
cuc.,s last year has already had ~
eject on all industry, emphasizing the
ilct that the>farmer mus prosper u
c:her industries are to exist. Along
y tn this comes the reatization shat CO.
operation from every source is nec,,-
sary to an equitable and proper read
jIstment. Leaders in many industries
and thinkers ir every walk of life
which accounts for the recent wide
spread interest in the farmers prob
iems as they affect the average in
diyidual.
1t is universally conceded that il
the farmer at the present time could
receive cost Of production only for his
products, his buying power would be
temporarily restored, which would
mean financial relief in every quarter.
1t is equally true that if the consum-
er could receive these same products
at n normal figure above cost of pro-
duction, his relief would at once re-
fleet upon the general financial con-
dition. But assuming that both of
the above conditions are impracticable
or impossible under the present econ
omic situation, as some economists
would lead US believe by stating that
the farmer has received his share Of
increased values and MUST take his
loss along with other industries, the
fact still reamins. that the number of
producers who are undergoing hard
ships and facing financial ruin is out
of proportion to the number in like
conditions in any other industry due
to the low price Of their product and
many consumers on the other hand are
compelled to do without the bare neces-
sites of life on account of the high
price of these same products.
This condition may be unavoidable,
but it brings us again to realization
of the fact thai a sound economic con-
dition must prevail before relief can
be expected and also to the underly-
ing cause for the widespread interest
in solution of the farmers problems.
From Texas come the words of E. p.
Shropshire that this (question of mar
keting) is "a matter vitality affecting
the welfare and prosperity of the en-
tire citizenship and upon it depends
the stability of business and the per-
manency of agriculture and the per
petuity Of free institutions" and that
the Texas Farm Bureau "is putting

A Might-Have-Been Veto.

1t is of no practical value to cite what might
have been But it is interesting to note that if the
United States had been member OF the league of
nations, the mandate to Japan including Yap, could
not have been authorized
Under the covenant this country would have
had representative in the council Article V pro-
vides that all decisions of the council shall be by
unanimous vote Also it is provided that ''the de-
gree OF authority control administration to be
exercised by the mandatory SHALL if not previously
agreed upon by members of the league, be explicit
ly defined in each case by the council"
This exception may seem to have been in
cluded to cover secret treaties. The South Pacific
Islands were apportioned to Japan as a quid pro
quo for protection by her navy of allied commerce
in the Far East and the Mediterranean. But "mem-
bers of the league" what it says, and not
secret treaties nor action merely by the supreme
council, great powers.
1t is beyond doubt that if the United States
had been represented at the December, 1920, meet
ing of the council we would have had the power of
absolute veto of the disposition of Yap to Japan
Whether or not President Wilson had made the
reservation at the supreme council meeting the
previous May, whether or not this reservation
was in the record would have been OF no binding
effect.
None of the mandates, as matter of fact, have
been previously agreed upon by the members of
the league" who form the assembly. They have
been handled exclusively by the council. 1t was
action of the council alone which disposed of the
Pacific islands.
The United States is now claiming a veto it
was not present to exercise. To do so it has to
rely upon the broader ground of world interest of
its part in framing the covenant, of its
action in the supreme council and Of its right as
co-belgerent
