Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-03-21


The editorials with reference to the
proposed organization of a farmers
union appearing in last weeks issue
of The Review, were intended as a
constructive criticism, and not as the
promoters might imagine, deliberate
plan to thwart their purpose.
The Review editorial merely out
lined few objections to the farmers
union plan which it will be well for
the promoters of this union to recog-
| nize.
Usually objections are waived in the
burst of enthusiasm attending the
promotion of such a plan as the farm
ers have in mind, because objections
are unpopular and tend to breed dis
unity.
1t will, however, be impossible to
prevent serious flaws in the plan from
being disclosed as the organization
progresses. They will be disclosed
more effectively through friendly
criticism than by any other method.
Hence The Review vindicates its right
to suggest such flaws because of its
intimate connection with the move
ment of organized labor.
The Review sincerely hopes that the
farmers will eventually get together
in an effective organization, based as
nearly as possible ON the principles of
the American Federation Of Labor,
though such an organization will be
more effective among farm tenants
and laborers than among farm owners.
A serious mistake has been made
in land speculation by business and
professional men who have realized
that land is a good, safe investment,
and have invested their surplus CAPT
tai in farms.
| In Champaign county thousands of
acres of land are owned by men who
never handle a pillow or drive a binder
These men are now unable to realize
good interest on their investments
and are trying hard ito get out from
under" by forcing the price of COM
modities upward. Such men are not
safe leaders in promoting a farmers
union. They will hinder more thar
they will help such an organization.
A prominent Champaign citizen who
died recently made the disclosure
through his will of vast farm hold.
ings reaching into thousands of acres
He is but one of large number OF
Champaign and Urbana business men
bankers and retired citizens who have
made large investments in farm lands
What the farmer should know is
whether the union now under process
of organization is being fostered by
such land holders, and whether it is
being inspired by them in the hope Of
retrieving their losses sustained in the
recent crisis which every practical
farmer as well as land owner has
suffered. The motive back of any. or.
ganization is worth while considering

In all probability this man can be
defeated only by Labor; and if the
friendship of laboring men for this
man proves stronger than their friend

ship for a man.
Friendship for the cause Of Labor
is vastly more important than friend

welfare of the laborer's family; il
means their success and comfort; il
means equality of opportunity for the
workman's children, and it reaches fan

The Urbana Daily Courier recently
published letter purporting to come
from woman who is compelled to
wash for a living and who complained
because of the high rate of taxes on
her property, declaring that she
would be forced into abject poverty
implying the loss of her home, unless
her taxes are reduced.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the Courier would favor re-
leasing this woman and all other
women in like situation, from the bur
den of taxation. In the opinion OF
The Review no hard working widow
should be required to pay taxes on the
only house of refuge she has for her.
self and children. This is one of the
reforms in taxation The Review will
heartily endorse if the opportunity is
ever presented.
But it is not taxation that causes
this woman to be in poverty. 1t is
the fact that the more fortunate
housewives are forever looking tc
find a woman who will do their drudg.
cry for the least possible sum.
The Review advises her to increase
her rates and then report the reaction
of her patrons to the Courier, who
has always been a pronounced advo-
cate of the "open shop"

Of one candidate in particular it has
frequently been said; "He is a good
man." Yet he could not be given the
official endorsement of Labor for
reason that his policy in the past has
been antagonistic to Labor.
Yet his friends are enthusiastic in
acclaiming their prediction that he
will poll large Labor vote. Their
prediction, they affirm, is based upon
statements made by voters who are

.Uanis Has A
Companion On
Mystery Trip

No word has as yet been receiv-
ed from j., j. Gvanis, who disap-
peared from his home last Friday
The latest reports are that Joseph
Switalski has gone with him. Mrs
Gvanis says that Mr.. Switalski, a
former employee of the C.&N. w
railroad, who has been out of work
had been with her husband and the
latter explained that he was trying
to help the man get another posi-
ton. Mr.. SWitalski in turn told
his wife that although Mr. and Mrs.
Gvanis were planning a trip co
California, the latter did not care
to go, so he and the Mr.. Gvanis
were going to take the camping out
fit and so to North Dakota to seek
employment as harvesters. Mrs
Switalski believed him and SO whea
Gvanis drove up to her home on
Maxwell street Friday afternoon
with the camping equipment, he
thought everything was all right
especially since her husband had
told her that they would be back
at the end of eight weeks and that
as soon as he found work, he
would write to her.
When Mrs. Gvanis arrived home
last Friday evening after spending
the afternoon at the fairgrounds
with a brother and younger sister,
she found some of her husband s
personal property gone as well as
some bedding. On investigation
she came upon note which he had
left and which read:
Dear Martha,
am going away, but don't
tell anyone. I'll write you the
reason why If you go to Califor-
MIA, I'll write YOU there. You'll
hear from me in a few days"
1t was not until Monday morning
that Mrs. Gvanis discovered that
switalski had accompanied her
husband.
