Christensen about Anglo o-American re- lations and seemed surprised when the latter said that the peoples were generally friendly.
 Lenine's understanding of English was sufficiently good except when his American visitor used colloquialisms.
 He told me" said MT. Christensen, that Russia is ready to do business with America and asked why we weren't. l answered, Perhaps you are the fly in the ointment" He had to ask the interpreter what was meant by fly in the ointment When this was explained. he answered, Well, 1 don't want to stand in the way"
 American Farmers
 The soviet premier asked why American farmers did not send to Russia wheat in exchange for goods, and when MT. Christensen asked what Russia had, Lenine replied: We can put furs on your wives"
 MT. Christensen. said he found the Lenine regime firmly established de- spite charges towards capitalism, as the communists are holding the key to the industries. schools and press. He had gone to Russia to investigate trade possibilities in behal fof the farmer-labor party. and declared that he was favorably impressed. From Riga he will proceed to Berlin and thence to Paris
 Lenine he described as having a winning personality, intensely human and appreciative of humor. T slapped him on the back, just like an Amer ican farmer" said MT. Christensen.

Kansas City, Mo-, and which expects
to have a plan to give to the public
within the next few weeks.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton realizing that in the past the
farm organizations have merely passed
resolutions requesting congress to
give US a square deal and that as
result very little legislation was pass
ed for farmers. With this in view,
the Farm Bureau hired Gray SiIvers
to watch congress and see that no
bills were allowed to be acted upon
that hurt the farmers unless we
had first protested against such bill.
Last summer when the two polit-
zeal parties were ready TO nominate
their president, a bill was reported
which the committee called the Nolan
bill This bill was the result of a
movement on the part Of big business
to shift the burden of taxation from
them to the farmers and owners.
This bill required all farmers having
a valuation of $4,000 to pay a
straight &c tax to the government,
in other words the farmers whose
land is valued at $40, 600 must pay TO
the government 800 in taxes, but
the manufacturer would be exempt
since the land upon which his build
ing stood would probably not be
worth $4,000 In other words the
big business was not taxed upon the
material which produces the profit
for them but the farmer was taxed
on his land from which he gets his
profit With over a million members
of the Farm Bureau and Gray Silvers
as our representative, this bill was
withdrawn.
There are a number of other things
which the Farm Bureau has done for
the farmers. Among one of the most
important is the work of Mr. Thorne
who is about to deduct between four
and five billion dollars of water stock
from the railroad books thus saving
to the tax payer about one hundred
| million dollars.
The National Farm Bureau has at
the present time over million mem
bers and this is backed by organiza-
| tions from thirty-seven states and by
| the organizations in about twenty-five
hundred counties of these states.
With such an organization as this
farming should gain a new recogni-
| ton by the business of the U. S. The
test is will the farmers of America
unite under the various organizations
to bring about new day for agricul-
ture 1t cannot be done unless the
| farmers do it.

up with cattle they cannot sell. We
put million pounds of as good wool
as was ever grown in Oregon through
our warehouses last spring, and can
not get a dollar on it, and our pa
ternal administration is offering Cape
and Australia wool for sale every
day. Our warehouse is full of pelts
and hides which the dealers will not
even allow Us to ship to them because
the pelts and hides are not worth the
freight Every ship is bringing in
more Argentine stuff to make condi-
tions worse for US.
I'VE talk of the league of nations
and wet and dry We are chasing the
shadow and ignoring the real issue,
which is, for US, Shall we have five
cent wool and two-cent beef again, as
we had in the good old Cleveland
days?'
A good deal of twaddle is talked
about the removal of economic bar
riers and the economic villainy of an
adequately Protective Tariff. But
when an Argentine. meat product can
find its way over oceans and across
thousands of miles of dry land, and
be sold on huge cattle ranch at q
price that is less than the ranchman's
own product would cost them, what is
the answer? What is the relation be-
tween the profitable condition of the
Argentine meat business and the poor
condition of the domestic livestock
industry in the United States? What
do the Free-Traders think about this
concrete example?- American Econ
omist
