lily available to the people. 1t serves
to develop and popularize the best
known practices in agriculture and
home economics. The Farm Bureau
is a non-partisan, non-secret, organ
ization representing the whole farm
population, men, women, and child
rem.
The county Farm Bureau, the state
Farm Bureau and the American Farm
Bureau Federation are striving to cut
out waste in marketing by co-opera-
ton. They are trying to bring about
grain marketing through the U, S.
Grain Growers, Inc, by signing up
FIVE year contracts for all their grain.
They are promoting cooperative live
stock marketing through the National
Livestock Producers Association re-
Gently established and cotton market
ing through the American Cotton
Growers Exchange. A farmers ma
tional Dairy Marketing Committee of
Eleven is working out a plan for CO.
operative Dairy Marketing. The veg
table growers, fruit growers, and
wool growers are organizing for eff
cient selling, for self-protection, for
the betterment Of civilization.

storekeeper's grandfather traded S

Speaking of manufacturers VS..
farmers, the December record of
wholesale prices, as made public on

Of Labor Statistics shows that in COM

Fuel and lighting cost 81 per cent

are soberly getting together to see
what can be done about it, are at
the bottom Of the list with l3 per

AGAINST SALES TAX.
Agriculture has been against the
sales taxa tax which would hit
hardest the consuming middle class
es. The regulation of the Packers
and the grain exchanges merely takes
away unfair privileges of two other
classes. The entire public benefits
by this leveling Of power. The Farm
Loan fund is no gift. 1t is a loan
which requires interest and credit.

Engineering Brotherhoods, Political
Party devotion, Steel Corporations,
Janitor's Unions, Labor Strikes,
Bankers Associations, Women's
Rights, Manufacturers BlocS and Un-
dertaker's Agreements, the advent of
organized agriculture into the strug-
gle for self-presevation should even
cause ripple on the pond.
But as quiet and constructive and
as sane as the defensive mobilization
of farmers has been, surprising
amount of the world is informed-if
not on the reasons, the necessity,
and justice of it, upon the fact that
the toilers of the soil are uniting.
The greatest agricultural organiza-
ton, the Farm Bureau movement,
has million and half farmer-mem-
berS working for our common good
in At states in the Union who invite
the questioners to come in and scru-
tinize. Perhaps that is what has
caused the interest-this unusual
openhouse policy.
MATTERS OF VIEWPOINT.
Another interesting phenomena is
the fact that each industry and class
breaches within its own ranks the
efficiency of organization as a posi-
tive cure for all economic and gov
ernmental ills, but firmly believes
that organization in other classes is
really responsible for the difficulties
that beset the country.
Organization has met organization,
clashed, clinched, and compromised.
When the break came in 1920 after
capital had raised the prices on COM
mOdities and labor had raised its
wages and capital had let the public
pay for the same and labor had
raised again, it was the unarmored
farmer, really quiet an innocent by
stander at that time, who got thrust
in the ribs from both swords. And
both capital and labor are beginning
to pay for the deed.
All industries are paying, or hav-
ing to pay in the reactionary, fnan-
cial wave--due to the absence of pur-

preparedness. Prices would have
lowered more normally had the far
mer been braced for the lancing.
The great American city boOtblack
who pays $500 a month to belong to
4 union which dictates whether or
not he shall shine shoes, when and
for what price, and whose knowledge
of farm life has been gained from
popular songs, slaps a rag across your
calfSkin (which brought the cattle
breeder l5 cents and the shoe dealer
Sl5) answers your questions about
organized agriculture with a wisdom
born of ignorance and says enviously
Sure, the farmers are all rich-look
what food is worth" Whereupon if
you happen to be produce man you
explain righteouSly that you only
make a cent or two on sale and that
YOU have to have something for your
services. If farmer is getting his
shoes shined he sighs YEARLY and
says that it is the produce dealers
associations that are responsible.
Statistics are on the farmers side
they show that the prices on the prod
ucts he sells are only l3 per cent
higher than the l9t3-before- -the-war
times prices, while the food that is
available to the consumer is 80 per
cent or three times as high.
THE AGRICULTURAL Bloc.
The dry-goods storekeeper, who
belongs to the retailers union and
mercantiler's association, ETC., and
runs his business according to rules
laid down by the other city merch-
ants, reads column or two concern
ing the much-heralded Agricultural
Bloc and wonders virtuously how
long the public is going to stand for
what he terms "class legislation Let
it be said to his credit that he does
not know himself that he has been
doing business under the protection
of a manufacturers bloc-a bloc

tion are subjects in which the farm
ers are vitality interested, the real
reason for organization, and the one
in which the Farm Bureau is most
active, is the adjustment of the far
mer's marketing system-one end OF
his business that he has neglected, 10
these many years!
The Farm Bureau is voluntary
cooperative association having for
its object the well-being of agricul-
ture, economically, educationally and
socially. Its purpose is to assist in
making the farm business more prof,
liable, the farm home more comfort
able and attractive, and the commun-
ity a better place in which to live.
1t seeks to perform, in an organized
way, certain essential activities which
cannot be accomplished through in
dividual effort.
The county Farm Bureau is an or
ganization of farmers and their fam
lilies cooperating with the state and
federal government in all of their ex-
tension activities in agriculture and
home economics.
THE BUREAUS Work.
1t brings to the federal department
of agriculture and the agricultural
college the farmers viewpoint, and
likewise serves as an agency through
which the services of these great
public institutions can be made read.

Citizenship

The country is not suffering
from bad citizens. No country
ever suffered from such. Our
country is suffering from the bad
citizenship OF good citizens. Com
munltles, states, and nations have
no better government than the
negligent citizen produces. The
responsibility for bad government
rests upon the negligent citizen,
the absentee from the ballot box,
and the man who is dodging his
civic duty.
The business man and the bank
er use every pssible means to es-
cape jury duty. They are traitors
to good government. You hear
business and professional men say
that they are not interested in pol
ltlcS; that they are not politicians.
Then, they are responsible for all
the errors in government and cor
ruption in Office. 1t is impossible
for taxpayer, home owner, an
honest man to stay out of politics.
If he stays out of politics, he is a
traitor to government, an enemy
to his home, and he is a burden to
all the other taxpayers. Because
OF his neglect to perform his duty,
he increases the taxes Of all the
people.
What is politics? 1t is the
science of government. The

Mr.. ClOperdale seems to know what

A DISMAL THING

We rush for popularity an burn
the road to wealth, but we find some
gloomy prospecks in the final sprint
for health.
Ef folks would only fgger how
to live the proper way, they'd notice
lots of difference in the doctors bills
they pay. Eff they'd only foller out

science Of good government, Then
every man, woman, and child
ought to be forced to study the
science of government. And ev-
cry man ought to be a practical,
common sense, persistent, cour-
ageous, everlasting politician.
When men get so pious. so good,
and so busy that they cannot af-
ford to perform their plain politi-
cal and civic duties they become
a curse to society, a menace to
government, a burden to the tax
payer, blight on citizenship, and
a stencil in the nostrils Of God.
The average business man is a
consummate coward, and il is his
Infamous cowardice that has
plunged this country into innum-
cradle errors. Out of the coward
ice Of business men we have filled
the legislatures and the Congress
of the United States with SPINE
less men; consequently, we legis-
late under tine whip lash of a party
msster or we fai! to legislate be-
cause of timidity and cowardice.
The common public is unrepre-
sented and suffers untold burdens
because of the bad citizenship Of
good citizens.
