"HONEST DOLLARS"

Editor National Leader: During the
war we heard a good deal about
honest dollars, lip service, loafing on
the job, from a class of men that
owned the dollars, gave only lip serv-
ice and labored hard in swivel chair
on cost-plus basis. Now they are
giving the farmer lip sympathy and
an opportunity to work 16 hours
day to pay the war debt twice with
high-priced dollars. Let us consider:
Money, as we all know, has no real
value; it will not of itself either feed
us or clothe US. It is simply and only
the measure Of real values, food or
clothes. Like the scales and yard
stick, we use it to measure and secure
food and clothes. And after us others
use it.
During the war we borrowed, say,
$14, the measuring value Of one barrel
of flour. Since then the moneyed in
terests have changed the measuring
value of money, and we are to return
$14 with measuring value of two
barrels of -four, or twice the hours of
labor the farmer borrowed. Was the
money we borrowed honest money
The National leader., 1922-07-01

with an honest measuring value? Or
is what we pay back honest money?
It would seem impossible for both to
have an honest measuring value.
If the moneyed interests had
right to change the measuring value
of $14 from Sone to two barrels Of
flour, or twice the amount of labor,
why has not the farmer a right to use
his power at the polls and change the
measuring value of $14 from one bar
rel of flour to one-half barrel, one
half the number hours of labor bor-
rowed?
Farmers often borrow from each
other. If my neighbor should borrow
from me 10 loads of hay, and had
the power, would I have the right to
change the carrying capacity Of all
wagons and still demand 10 loads of
hay in payment? Or twice as much
as I loaned?
Farmers, 14O odd years ago this
land was given to our forefathers;
the land and it's resources were owned
by many. Today we owe $150,00O,-
100000 of our 100000, 100000 assets
to the few. Eighty per cent Of the
farm values are owned by few.
Our natural resources are robbed for
the benefit of the few. We are liter
ally land Of renters, a form of
slavery. We should be ashamed of
the way we have permitted our in
heritance to be taken from us.
Shall we remain Indifferent until
the balance, rs per cent, is stolen
also and then rebel, take the ill-gotten
gains away from the few, bringing
with them bloodshed and untold mis-
cry? Or shall we commence now to
bring about the change in an orderly
and lawful way by intelligent voting
at the ballot box?

POLITICS USELESS?

Editor National Leader: It is fine
to have paper in our homes that
shows up some of the work going on
to curb the agricultural process.
Townley in Jail surely did his best in
regard to cost prices on farm prod
ucts. We are agreed that no remedy
exists for the farmer at this time ex-
cept the fixing of prices so that the
farmer will get cost of production. Is
there any business on earth that does
not get cost of production? Even the
peanut peddler has a fixed price. Yes,
and farmers must fix their own price,
and they must keep accounts like
other business men do and show the
bread-consuming people what it costs
to raise and market wheat. @s
It is my belief that powerful Or
ganization like the League could do
the work, but it must turn it's power
into more economics and less politics.
That is to say that political propa-
ganda is wasteful. The working
masses have the world in their hands
if they only knew it. Political issues
have become reactionary and will re-
main so until progress is made. Peo-
pie would starve long before political
action would be effective. This has
been proved time and time again. If
the farmers were in a position to re-
fuse to operate for one season, and
bread and food would fall short, it
would open somebody's eyes. But
farmers have produced so cheaply and
payed so little attention to market or
cost prices that the result is that 80
per cent of the farmers are now bank
rupt and reduced to beggars.
All details regarding taxes, interest,
depreciation and all other costs that
may enter into the cost of food should
be figured. Here in Montana it takes
46 per cent of every bushel to get
grain to Minneapolis. A farmer mar
kets 1000 bushels of wheat and con-
tributes $3.50 just to get it out of his
hands to the market. This holds true
in all other communities in the middle
West. A. BAUER.

NEED MORE MONEY
FOR CIRCULATION

The truth is the federal reserve
system has depleted the currency of
this nation. That is, they have per-
mitted the currency to be withdrawn
from actual circulation among the
people. The figures they give of per
capita circulation are most mislead-
ing. The country needs some actual
currency in circulation among the
people. That is one of the reasons
why I propose in my amendment that
the money shall be mailed the SOL
diers direct so that they will not be
the victims of bank credits and bank
ing machinery and so that there will
be some money in circulation so that
the people can at least do some busi-
ness without consulting the dominat-
ing and autocratic wish of a few
money sharks who manipulate the
system for it's designed benefciaries.
5 Further, the World seems to ignore
the fact that a definite and specific
manner is provided for the retire.
ment of this issue of money. It is
limited, definite and certain. It is, of
course, hard to expect that the we'll
organized opposition of the banking
aristocracy will be defeated and that
my measure will meet with success;
but, at any rate, the people of the
country shall have the opportunity of
knowing how, their public servants
stand on the question.

who held the debts received more of
property and more of labor by virtue
of dearth Of currency.
The little fellow had no means to
protect his property values, all of the
currency had been garnered in and all
credit stopped. The masters of finance
could force him to part with his prop
erty. The history of the past two
years clearly shows that they did so.
The World should have enough
knowle lge of Russia to speak with
some semblance of authority. Some
day we hope it will give us real in
side history of the financial manipula-
tions that have affected Russia since
the day that Trotzky made application
for Lis passport to leave this country.
If the World does not already have
the desired information in it's files it
might interview some of the high
financial wizards who hold forth in
some Of the International banking
houses in New York, and then write
us real inside story of the financial
history of Russia's downfall and
financial degeneracy.
