yields about Is sacks or 1900
pounds an acre. Anything less than
| IL sacks is considered a poor crop,
usually due to improper methods of
cultivation, and some cases have
been known where the crop ran as
high as 5000 pounds to the acre.
"Mr. Curtis showed us charac-
teristic case of the use of beans as
clean up crop. o n a piece of rent
ed land adjoining him he had seven
acres which had been repeatedly
farmed to wheat and oats, and it
wild oats as possible. He double
disced it early this spring, and fol-
lowed up by repeated civilizations,
good deal as we handle the foul
land on the Waller project for a late
crop of barley. About the first of
June he went over the tract with a
four-horse bean cultivator with the
ditching shovels attached. This was

staggered. After that the land re-
ceived the usual cultivation and ir-
rigation for bean crop. In addition
to the above he expended 500 for
hand labor in hoeing and pulling out
the wild oats, amounting to about So
per acre. The crop on this seven
acres is estimated to be close to 1900 II
pounds per acre. This certainly
beats our present summer fallow, for
at 4 II cents per pound for beans,
his crop on these seven acres would
amount to S54 per acre. Even If
both the yield and the price were cut
in half there would still be big /
cash advantage over summer fa1low. II

farmers.
The LaFollette program is their
program.
LaFollettes platform is the eco
nomically reactionary proposal to
bust the trusts" and restore free
competition. From an economic
viewpoint, this is even more reac-
tionary than anything that Davis
or Coolidge stand for. These two
candidates, at least, support the
development of the capitalist indus
trial order which is creating the
basis for specialization of industry,
while LaFollette wants to go back
ward and destroy this basis and
restore the paradise Of little bust
ness men-free competition.
Against the candidates and pro-
gram Of big business and against
the candidate and program of little
business, the Workers Party rails
es the slogan Of revolutionary class
action.
It has nominated candidates who
stand on a platform that represents
the class interests of the exploited
industrial workers and the exploit
ed farmers.
The largest part Of the Farmer
Labor movement has been swept
away by the LaFollette candidacy.
II is this fact that made It impos-
sible to carry on the fight against
LaFolletteism and against the CAPT
talist dictatorship on the Farmer

1t will be a government of, for
and by the dictatorship of capital
ism.
Next to the candidates of the
capitalist dictatorship, stands La
Toilette. Because LaFollette is
seemingly opposed to the capital
list dictatorship, many workers and
farmers are suffering from the H.
fusion that LaFollette will make
their fight against the capitalist
dictatorship. They overlook the
fact that there is an economic
group in the United States which
has interests which clash with
those Of the big capitalists. but
whose interests are not those of
the workers and exploited farmers.
The things that will help the indie
pendent manufacturers, bankers
and merchants, are not things
which will help exploited Industrial
workers and farmers. The indie
pendent manufacturers, bankers
and merchants are in the business
of exploiting the Industrial work
ers and farmers just as are the big
capitalists.
1t is true that they don't get as
large share of the results OF the
exploitation of the industrial work
ers and exploited farmers as do the
big capitalists. That is the reason
they are entering politics. They
want political power so that they
can get bigger share Of the pro-
Ats made out Of the work of the

twenty years stood for independent
political action by the workers, has
been swept away as the tail to the
kite of the LaFollette candidacy
on trust-busting program. That
is the greatest irony OF the situa-
ton. The Socialist Party for TWEEN
ty years has declared to the work
ers that the trusts, the great or
CARNATIONS of production, are the
products of economic evolution and
cannot be destroyed, is now going
along with Don Quixote LaFollette
in his attack on these economic
windmills.
What the Glass Conscious Worker
Can Do.
What should the class conscious
worker do in this situation-those
workers who realize that the exist
ing government is a capitalist die
Atorship and who understand that
LaFolletteism is not a working
class program? There is only one
course open for them-to Join the
Workers Party.
The political situation as above
outlined clear the road for the
building of a powerful revolution
airy party in the United States. The
Workers Party, as Communist
Party, is the only party with the
right to that title. II is the only
party with a program which repre-
sents the class interests of the
workers.
The Workers Party has shown by
its past struggles that it already
has a strong organization which
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-02

can make an effective fight for the
interests of the workers. To those
workers who want to carry on
clear cut struggle against capital
ism, the Workers Party extends an
invitation to rally to its banner.
The way is open for building a pow
erful working class revolutionary
P3rty-a Communist Party in prin-
cfple and in fighting quality.
To every member of the Work
ers Party this situation should be
the inspiration for an enthusiastic,
aggressive fight to build the mem
bership of the Workers Party. The
Party slogan Every member get
member" should be fulfilled dur
ing the coming months.
To those workers who have de-
veloped sufficient class conscious
ness not to be deluded by the La
Toilette movement, those workers
who still stand outside of the Work
ers Party, the existing situation
should be the strongest inducement
to align themselves with the revolu-
tionary class party the Workers
Party. The Workers Party urges
these workers to Immediately be-
come members Of the party.
Let us build in this campaign the
militant revolutionary class party
to fight the capitalist dictatorship
and to fight the petty bourgeois
misleaders OF the workers. Let us
go forward together under the ban
ner OF the. Communist Party-the
Workers Party and Of the Com
munist International.

War Preparedness
Plans Denounced by
Communist Speakers

Hundreds of workers gathered at
Wicker Park Hall, cheered the call
for support of the Communist tick
ct in the coming presidential cleo
ton and applauded the denunciations
OF the preparedness plans for the COM
ing war, made by Robert Minor, edi-
tor of The Liberator, and Max Shacht-
man, Of The Young Worker.
''The coming election of a presi-
dent of the United States is an inter-
national election" said Minor. 1T
will be to choose a head-or at least
a figure-head-of an international en-
pire. 1t will also be a war election
to choose the nominal leader of the
greatest group of the imperialists of
the world in the most terrific war
ever seen.
Coolidge and Davis and LaFollette
stand as a unit in favor of the i'm
perialist Dawes plan. This plan, con-
cocted by the office boy of the House
of Morgan, means not only the en-
slavement of the German working
class, but by the very provisions Of
the plan, the degradation of labor all
over the world. 1t means that the
United States has taken the decid-
ing step in its imperialist advance
upon Europe.

THE political situation in the
United States is a challenge to
every worker who has any con-
seriousness of the interests of the
workers as a class.
The capitalist dictatorship has
nominated it's candidates. There is
no question of what these candi-
dates stand for. Coolidge and Davis
are open and avowed upholders of
the present industrial order. They
stand for things as they are and
have been.
II either is elected President of
the United States, the government
al power will be used to maintain
the present system of exploitation.
Striking workers will be met with
injunctions as sweeping or even
more sweeping than the infamous
Daugherty injunction. Either, as
President, will fill the Industrial
fields in which workers are on
strike with troops as Harding filled
the coal fields with troops in 1922.
There will be even more ruthless
governmental boards fighting the
workers demands for higher wages
and better working conditions than
the Railroad Labor Board thru
which the government has given
such signal aid to the railroad own
ers in their fight against the rail-
road unions.
No worker need have any illu-
sions of bow this country will be
governed II either Coolidge or Da-
