THE FAMILY LIEN BILL

All kinds OF arguments for the
Fedje bill are being brOadcasted
by League newspapers on a wave
length Of 400 meters or more. The
announcer in most instances is no
other than Fedje, himself.
The bill in question provide
that a farmer and all of his chill
dren over the age of 1G have the
right to file q lien for the labor of
sowing, caring for and harvesting
their own crops. Such a law
Nsmacks of special legislation in
that the stock farmer will be de-
MED the privilege of filing a lien
for the care of the increase of his
stock, for instance.
The law will be referred to the
voters at the March primaries. It
is law that concerns the farmer
wholly; others-not even capital
are concerning themselves about
it. Therefore there is no organ
lied opposition against the passage
Of the bill.
1t may not have occurred to
many Of those now in favor of the
bill. however, that if it becomes
law the FARMER has forfeited his
right to mortgage his crop. If a
farmer, for instance, had the best
crop he ever raised, delayed ar
ranging for Irvine until harvest
time and then makes the discovery
that he can get Irvine only for cash,
such a law might be the worst that
could happen. The family lien law
being in force he could not mort
gage his crop and he has no other
security. His grain would be apt
to lodge or shell out before he
could harvest it without twine
Furthermore he might find it con-
venient in case of sickness or
some other misfortune in the fam
lily to have a crop to mortgage.
There are many other things for
which it would be convenient to
mortgage crop, such as seed
grain, milk cows, hogs, etc.-Wat-
ford City On. d. Guide.

CUTTING EXPENSES

The Mclaughlin Messenger
doubts very much If the Agricul-
.tural Extension Service is worth
what it costs the taxpayers of
South Dakota. The service has
speakers on most every conceiv-
able subject travelling over the
state at big expense telling the
public how to do this and that
thing. One of the latest frills is a
woman who is lecturing on the
use of empty -four sacks. Every
woman in Mclaughlin and Corson
county undoubtedly knows what
use can be made of bleached -four
sacks. We don't blame the good
lady, but the head of the economics
department who assigned her to
this task must be hard up for a
subject to work on. When a lot of
these fool state expenditures are
,curtailed there will be relief from
high taxes and not before. -Elgin
