: The Townley page is a feature of every
issue of the Leader. In his next arti-
Gle Mr.. Townley will discuss the money
question, which is developing into an
important issue at this time. The in
PRODUCTION Of the Ladd money and
credit bill in congress and the advocacy
of money reform by such big men as
Edison and Ford has brought the mat
Z ter to the front. Farmers have al:
ways been the backbone of movements
challenging the money power, and to-
day they are taking the lead in this
new opening Of the question. The
Leader has therefore asked Mr.. Town
ley to say something about this move
ment on his page in the next issue and
he has promised to do So Watch for
it. Remember that Mr.. Townley writes

down until the net result was what
became known as the "pawnbroker
bonus bill," because, in order to get
more than $50 a service man under it's
provisions would have to borrow on
his later expectations of payment.
The organs which represent Wall
street have conjured up visions of the
service men shooting all their govern
ment payment away in crap games
and other similar diversions.
: You can all remember how these
same publications devoted many col
umns to picturing how the working
men and the farmers were rolling in
wealth during the war. They pictured
them driving to their work or driving
to town with the butter and eggs in
$4,000 cars and going to Palm Beach
and California for their health. One
writer found an old steel mill worker
taking his first ride in Pullman car,
and told Of the incident as a ridiculous
example of how the under classes"
We're being overpaid. They are ridi-
culing the idea Of paying the men who
fought in France two or three hun
dred dollars apiece, in much the same
way. They declare it to be fearful
waste of money. ~.
THERE is class in America that
considers the spreading of wealth
- out SO that great many people
can enjoy it as great waste. They
think what $100 each paid to, say,
million men, would amount to in one
pile and how little it would be to the
Individual. They believe in concen-
trating it in big piles of a million or so
each so that a few men can have
really good time with it. In taxation
they believe in the reverse principle.
They want the money gathered in lit
tie driblets from great many people
so as to cause the s'least fuss" That's
the idea of the sales tax-and they
are emphatically against taking big
wads of it from the fellows who have
too much. .-.
The farmers, who don't think much
Of this scheme of national financing,
find themselves just now with a highly
sympathetic feeling toward their boys
and their neighbors' boys who, in try
ing to get adjusted compensation, are
up against the same fellows who have
always been fighting them, the fel-
lows who work on the principle of
getting many little contributions to-
gether to make fat thing for some
body. '

YyHE other day after l had just
= finished reading in a newspaper
the statement that President
Harding had decided to .'stand
pat" on the soldier bonus and oppose
any bonus bill that might be brought
to him without a sales tax, picked up
copy Of the American Legion
Weekly" which somebody had sent
me. In it there was a cartoon with
the title, "The Great Bonus Raid on
the United States Treasury" which
was said to be "drawn by our own
staff artist from descriptions in the
Wall Street Journal, New York Times,
World, Herald, Philadelphia Public
Ledger and other newspapers"
After | had looked over this cartoon
I felt like saying to the artist and the
editor: Welcome, brothers; welcome
to our campw
Along with other organizations of
veterans the American Legion is in
the fight for adjusted compensation
for the men who served. The rank
and file got a dollar day for facing
bullets and for other hardships that
were no more easy to endure than
facing the bullets, and they think it
not unfair that the proposition of add
ing a little something to this should be
considered in these times when a few
hundred thousand Of them are out Of
work and getting their meals in bread
lines.
The members Of the American
Legion have had a great vision. They.
have seen light. They have learned
by experience. They are finding who
are the friends of the common man
and who are not. Some Of you can re-
member how members Of the Ameri-.
can Legion not long ago were being
nlisled by means Of their patriotic en-
thusiasm.s They were being made use
full to the enemies of farmers organ
izations. Perhaps when they get
through this fight for the soldiers
bonus they will not be in mood to be
useful in quite the same way.
TT HAS been discovered who are the
opponents of the soldier bonus, as
= the newspapers insist upon calling
it. In this cartoon, drawn by the
clever young artist of the Legion
Weekly, some Of them are revealed. It
represents an attack upon the treasury
by masked and armed service men.
This, you unde1st depicts the way
in which the campaign for the bonus

They are smashing in the windows,
digging through the roof: and charg-

treasury building, which is guarded by
the billionaire secretary Of the treas
ury,. standing boldly in place with
sword and shield. Various "honest
citizens" are being robbed and vir-
tuous capitalist in an armored car is
dashing off to spread the news Of how
ssthe country is being ruined"
Who is it that calls the effort to add
a few cents to the dollar day the sol
diers got a "raid on the treasury? It
is Wall street and it's various publica-
tions. The former service men are
not having to fight the farmers or
their representatives in congress.
They are not having to fight labor or
labor's representatives. They are not
being opposed by the newspapers that
really speak for labor, or the news
papers that really speak for the farm
ers. But they have been opposed and
are being opposed by the voices that
are always raised on behalf of wealth

When the farmers and the workers
Of the country find any cause being
opposed by such organs Of opinion as
the Wall Street Journal and the New
York Times and the Minneapolis Jour
nal and few others that might be
named, naturally they have a new,
warm and friendly feeling toward the
men who are fighting these old foes
Of theirs.
CNOME Of these newspapers would
have us believe that the pressure

demand for economy is what is caus-
ing congress to sweat over the demand
for a bonus. It is. this, they say, that

Just one question now disturbs the

The Judge recently happened upon
n discovery which in all probability
gisss Casper the negative distinc-

How to handle the case is what Is
troubling the judge. Should the
same punishment be melted out TO
the youths, one lad aged 10 years and
the other Il. or should the probe go
farther in an effort to tack h re-
s~ponsibility for tho violation on some
other person.
The offense constitutes a violation
of the prohibition law In its widest
sense The two lads arc said to have
been caught in the act Of dlstflling
some kind OF fire water" and to
have calmly admitted that they were
trying TO make whiskey.
Using the most primitive equip
ment and the vilest smelling mash
possible, the youths were in the c
OF realizing on their endeavors when
their operations were interrupted.
The equipment consisted of one
tin ian, into which was inserted a
tube OF doubtful composition. Al
though the can was not sealed the
boiling fluid which had been heated
over n miniature bonfire was giving

FARM EFFORTS
Profound Readjustments"
Seen by Secretary Wallace
Unless Changes AIRS
Brought About.

NEW YORK, April :s.-Uniees there
Is q quick reduction in railroad freight
rates to about pre-war levels or the
prices OF agricultural products in
erase sufficiently to equal the rate
advance. there win be profound read
justments" in agricultural production
involving rcadtustments in industry
as well, Secretary Wallace of the agr
cultural department declared in an ad-
dress before the New York Acad-
envy OF Political science. The blight
ing effect upon agriculture of the
present level OF freight rates, the sec
Rotary said. -can hardly be compre-
hended."
What he regarded a. the probable
effect Of present rates continued for
any length of time were summarized
by Secretary Wallace as follows:
First. to favor the farmers Of South
America and Australia at the expense
OF our own farmers
Substantial decrease in ocean rates
emphasized the disadvantage OF the
American farmer. he pointed out.)
Second. to keep prices on farm
products in the large surplus produc-
ing states at figures lower than are
justified by n investment in land
and equipment and cost of production.
Third. prolong h period OF dissat-
faction among farmers and encourage
advocates of economic faIlacies OF all
sorts
Fourth improve the position of
eastern truck and fruit growers but
add considerably to h cost Of milk
and dairy products because OF h nd
vanced prices OF hay and coarse grains
necessarily shipped in from tho west.
Firth. gradually shift Industrial en-
terprises westward. nearer the sur
pins foo producing territory.
Sixth. promote sectional rather
thar national spirit and make more
and more difficult national policies
with respect to International affairs"
Presen freight rates impose a tax
on h farmer OF the surplus produc-
ing states. Mr.. Wallace said
The most hopeful Sign OF the pres
ent time is the apparent recognition OF
the railroad management that our
present high rates cannot be continued
