THANKS, MIR. CHANDLER

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: have
been a member of the Nonpartisan
league and reader of the Leader for
the last four years and have never
written you a letter to say how have
appreciated it. But think have re-
ceived more information from reading
your paper than !, could if I had read
all Of the kept press papers in the
United States. I am surely glad the
favor that William LANCER and Krazy
Karl showed us when they caused the
good old Bank of North Dakota to be
audited; now they have shown every

from lying sheet published at Stat
ford, Kan, and want you to know
right now that I am not furnishing the
ammunition to keep that gun firing

I will suggest that the Leaguers
not only stick but work to get more
members by sending their Leaders to

THEY'RE STICKING

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I hope
North Dakota officials stick to their
program and do not let Mammon play
a majority part in ruling common
wealth. My idea of money is and al
ways was that it was created to be a
servant of the people, not their master.

bed out of their very skins on cotton.
More cooperation is needed and must
be Forthcoming if we are to avert an
inevitable calamity. Please do what
you can to stimulate us in the South
to greater organization. I would be
glad to assist in increasing your SUBJ

you could allot us a portion Of your
editorials and other space for benefit
of southern products. ..: ~.

ana ne quotes some llS-
ures which should be of interest to the
producers of America. His figures are
based on the price of corn, but pre-
sumo they would apply also on
wheat basis. He says that last year
corn was $1.25 per bushel and one
bushel would buy five gallons of gaso-
line. Now corn is worth about 80 cents
per bushel and will now buy one gallon
of gasoline. Last year six bushels of
corn bought ton of soft coal. Now it
takes 40 bushels Of corn to pay for
the ton of coal. Last year 40 bushels
of corn bought $50 suit of clothes.
Now it costs 200 bushels of corn. If
the price of clothing had been reduced
in proportion to the price of corn $50
suits would now sell for $12. Last
year 10 bushels of corn would buy a
SIS pair of shoes; now it takes so
bushels. Last year one cowhide
bought good pair Of shoes. Now it
takes six cowhides to buy cheap
pair of shoes.
I shipped steer hide to the James
town tannery and received in return
a check for 80 cents. Last year l re-
ceived 81 for a similar hide. Mr..
Rockefeller would, if on a par with the
price of corn, sell gasoline for cents
per gallon instead of 80 cents, and the
coal trust would sell ton of coal for
$3.50 instead or $780,; the clothier
$50 suit for $3.50; the shoe dealer a
$40 pair of shoes for So; the halter a
$5 hat for 81. Wheat at $1.30 per
bushel made into puffed wheat brings
S28 per bushel.
Now the main question is just what
is the cause of this condition. This is
the way it looks to me. First during
the months of October and November
the large banks of the East took from
North Dakota, in liquidation, $2,0O0,-
900. Then as North Dakota farmers
must be squeezed and taught lesson,
the same bankers withheld from North
Dakota the extra or surplus money to
which we were entitled for the pur-
pose of marketing our products, and
which, judging from our per capita
federal reserve loans, from the Ninth
district federal banks, which was only
So per capita, should be 100000
or $8,000,000 more than we were
allowed. Thus by gathering in the
money at this end and sending it out
of North Dakota and by curtailing the
natural inflow at the eastern end, this
game works both ways and so caused
the present panic. Remedy: Take the
money control out of private hands
and place it in the hands of our gov
ernment.

PEANUT GROWERS ORGANIZE

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The
farmers of this section are in the
midst ola vigorous campaign to ex-
tend the. usefulness of their peanut
exchange, organized year ago. "A
very interesting and effective meeting
was held in this county last Saturday.
It is surprising how rapidly the great
food value of the peanut is being rec
ognized throughout the country,
though the "drive" is but a few weeks
old. I hope to mail you copy of our
official organ, the Peanut Grower,
when my next number arrives.
