What Is Wrong Today?

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: l would like to add
my encouragement to the loyal workers for the
Nonpartisan league l will have to ask "a few
questions and will give my to them and ask
any reader who differs with me to give his opin-
ion to the Leader as am doing.
What was the trouble with the 13 colonies in
George Washington's time? The is, I be-
ieve, they were oppressed by the mother country.
Why? Because their experience had taught them
their rights were being trampled on and their fu-
ture welfare as people and country in
danger So they called meeting and decided they
would have to begin to do business for themselves
and in businesslike way They chose their leader,
George Washington. think if we could have been
to that meeting we would have heard him say to
the people, "We must stand together as one man.
United we stand divided we fall" The result the
world knows-they founded government of, for
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-05-02

and by the people, and they stuck together and they
won out against oppression. They did not win in a
day, week, year. But eight long years of
fighting, struggling, united effort did it.
Now would like to ask-what is the matter to-
day? We, the descendants of those staunch, loyal
forefathers have lost grand government they
worked so loyalty for. Big Biz and Wall street run
our government today. Today we have govern
ment Of monopolies that profteering by the
labor of the masses of the people.
What going to do about it? Stick to-
gether for a government of, for and by
the people and we will win it back.
Don't tell me it can't be done. It can, if We'll
stick We'll win. Our leader, A. c. Townley, has
unfurled the banner in North Dakota. Don't you
see it? It waves in the breeze and it's folds will
reach all over the United States.
Such disgraceful conduct as Barton county, Kan,
is resorting to reminds of an unruly child We
must not heed such things. They are only part of
the obstacles in path.
~ Now>.let us win back the government our
.Ss forefathers won for us, a government Of

Poison Propaganda

article from the Youths Companion I thor

papers are under the control of interests that do

Meridian, Idaho. MRS. G. A. KOGER.
The Youths Companion article attempts to poison
the minds of it's child readers, blaming the Nonpar
tisan league, by nnuendo, for the failure of North
Dakota banks. AS Leaguers know banks have failed
in nearly every state, due to depressed prices of
farm products. The situation has been somewhat
worse in North Dakota, partly account of drouth
and partly because the federal banks loaned
less money North Dakota banks, per capita, than
to other states.-THE EDITOR.

WHY cULLlNG is PROFITABLE
UncuIed Flock of oo2 Hens Laid 1875
Eggs Il, Week and $500 With
79 Taken Out.

An unculled flock of 992 hens laid
1916 eggs in the week before being
culled. Seventy-nine weak layers were
cast out. The culled flock Of 913 came
right back the next week with q rec
ord Of $500 eggs. while the 70 culls
living under precisely similar condi
elons, and doing their very best. were
laying only S5 eggs. The market
value of the eggs layed by the culls
was around $3.50. The cost of feed
alone for them at a cent day fol
each hen was 1888 for the week. Fig
ures like these, say the poultry special
lists at the university farm, show tht
importance of keeping only the best
layers. Lessons driven home in thu
farm brreau's and extension division
campaign for frequent culling of fiockN
should put thousands of dollars in the
pockets of poultry raisers.

TAXES HOLD BACK BUSINESS

A concise and effective condem-
nation of the existing taxation sys-
TEN was made by Senator Smoot
when he said:
Our present income tax system
is really taxing the individuals who
are actively engaged in business
while it forces cut of taxation the
individuals having great wealth
BY driving men of great wealth to
invest thier big incomes in govern
ment bonds and other tax free Sc
curities the present system not
merely fails to reach property that
ought to be taxed. It brings cor
respondingly heaVy burden on the
property that is reached by taxa
ton.
BY concentf asing heavy taxation
on the men actively engaged in bust
ness it cuts down their ability to
develop their business. It hampers
their activity. 1t discourages their
undertaking new affairs.
Such an outcome is bad for the
business man. of course. 1t is worse
for the workers whose employment
is taken from them and for the
public which suffers from the high
cost of living resulting from lessen
ed ductiOn.-Kansas City Times

POULTRY

EGGS FROM BACK YARD FLOCK
Owner Should Be Satisfied With Nc
Less Than Ten Dozen Eggs Per
Hen, Say Experts.

prepared by the %aited States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The average novice can reasonably
expect to get an average of at least
ten dozen eggs per hen year from his
small flock in the back yard, say poul-
try specialists Of the United States De,
partment Of Agriculture. On the basis
of two hens to each member Of the
family this will give 20 dozen eggs q
year to each person, which amount is
about half way between the general
average Of farm and city consumption
No backyard poultry keeper should be
satisfied with less than this He should
try, however, to get as much more as
possible.
To provide an egg day for each
person two hens would have to lay
1873 eggs each year. This is by no
means an impossible average for small
focks. 1t is perhaps not too much tc
