WEEKLY LETTER

p
AS all legislation should be the re-
suit Of combined effort of the people
and their representatives in Congress,
the reading public will be glad to have
the viewpoint Of those who know from
practical experience the effect Of the
inequalities Of many laws enacted in
the past for the benefit Of special
groups instead Of in the interests OF
the country as q whole .
Voices From The South
From correspondent: II am heart
lily in sympathy and in favor of the
passage Of Senate Bill 2342 and hope
that it may become Law of the United
States. It is the only means by which
our people can be relieved of the op-
preston which has been thrust upon
them.
"When we think of just few men
controlling the United States and the
business as done under them, no won
der such conditions exist as are exist
ing now. This United States is great
country, one Of the greatest of the
world, when we think Of agriculture,
the greatest business in the world and
one upon which every other business
in the world depends upon to keep it
going; and when we think Of the great
toiling masses Of farmers of the
United States. whose products in 1920
were debated far below cost Of pro.
duction and after a year Of hard toll
not a dollar profit did they make-th
same condition applies to the farmers
in 1921-I hardly know a farmer
North, East, South or West who can
say he has made a dollar profit; the
highest taxes to be paid both Nation
al and States that have ever been
acknowledgements upon thousands Of
farmers in this State will not be able
to pay their taxes; deplorable con-
dition to think about in great coun-
try like the u. States Something is
radically wrong and it is up to the
people to remedy these conditions and
I believe we have the men with back
bone and manhood eenough to remedy
them."
From Farmers meeting-The fol-
lowing resolution from meeting Of
1000 farmers Of Southern state to
their representatives in Congress is
significant Of the signs Of the times:
"WHEREAS: international Bankers
through their control of the money
and credit Of the United States by de-
flation Of prices have destroyed bill
lions of dollars in the value Of the
property Of the people, paralized the
business of the entire country, and
thrown millions Of men and women
out of employment; and
"WHEREAS: This deflation Of
prices is now doubling the value Of
the debts owed by the people; and
WHEREAS: The people are now
understanding that International
Bankers are responsible for the crea-
tion Of the Fraudulent Gold Standard
financial schemes to rob the people Of
their earnings, and that the Congress
Of the United States is responsible for
it's being inflicted upon the people Of
this country and for its convenience.
"We therefore urge upon our Rep
resentatives in Congress the vital i'm
portance Of the enactment into law Of
Senate Bill 2842 to establish an hon
est money system where the medium
of exchange will give equal benefits to
every American citizen, and wherein
the credit Of the Government shall be
used for the benefit Of all the people
instead Of Banking Corporations or
ganized for private gain. To reduce
the rate Of interest on loans, enccur-
age agriculture, the ownership Of
homes, and other purposes.
