TION AND WHEELER
Editor( Producers News:

EditOr( Producers News:
From the appearance of the num-
Der of letters that have poured into
the Producers News editor and were
printed in the above paper IN regard
to a state organization and state pa
per, there seemed to be a general
land slide from the various parts OF
the state by prominent citizens. This
of course is a matter which has to be
taken care eff sooner or later II any
protection can be expected from the
overbearing profit seekers. Every
one knows that something must be
done and done right away.
Organizing an organization IN our
economic and political field should be
reckcned with in everything that IS
to be used and In every staff of life.
If the political condition is to advance
with that Of other advances like our
inventions and science, etc, we will
have to put on double action of steam
and keep it up for some time to be
any where near the inventions and
science. We must try and promote
ourselves as much as possible so as
to stop as much Of the confusion that
!
don't, then disaster will be the result.
Everything shapes themselves in a
respect, but not like when there has
been some way prepared for it.
All organization has done its share
of good but when they are organized
without a foundation, they do not
stand long and crumble away. There
are many things to consider in an or
ganization and that would take con.
siderable space to bring it out. But
an outline should be made and eacl
subject should have its object thresh-
ed out. The following are a few. Dis
cipline in a strict sense.
All members should have thorough
understanding.
All benefits should be had by th'
membership as near as possible.
Periodical and direct contact.
Education in every form within TIT
organization.

ROBT. LARSON BELIEVES IN
ECONOMIC ORGANIZATION

InclOsed find $1.00 to pay for one
box Of printed stationary in accord
ance with your ad which l enclose.
The letters printed in the Producers
News on Farmers Organization are
sure good. If we can form an orga-
nization along those lines l am surely
for it, and | know that we will, the
way it sands now. When the program,

agree with Harlow Pease that
the organization should be mostly
economic as 1 have always said that
politics is nothing more nor less than
the reflection or agency of the Econ
omic power. The real government,
as l look at it, of these great U. S. A.
are located mostly in Wall Street,
New York and the Agency at Wash
ingtOn, d. G. But nevertheless, Wall
Street wants to use the political re-
! fleX, and seems to make good use of
| it, and so | believe also, at least at
the present time we Ga farmers or
ganization) should use the political
weapon. | once in a labor cOnven-
ton heard man say that he wanted
no weapon left out of the reach of
the working class, but that it should
stand ready to use and grasp the
strike, the ballot and even the bullet
if it was or should be driven to it,
in order to maintain their rights.
All the letters have shown a sound
ness in economics. At the present time
I believe a Farmers organization or
a Farmers economic organization
should indorse a certain political par
ty such as the Farmer-Labor party
and work on the political field as
we'll as on the economic field. To spend
lot of money on a lobby to help the
farmer members in the legislature,
I would not think of doing, but at the
same time while in politics we should
try to do the best that could be done
and members Endorsed and elected,
pledged to a certain program put out
by the Farmers organization should
be looked after to see that they car
ry out the wishes of those who elect
ed them. We should not organize
soon, as Senator Anderson says, but
let US take a little time to hear what
may be said for or against such an
organization but from what l see in
all of those letters, | say that Orga-
niZe we will, united we stand, divided
we fall, and with so many men with
backbone | believe we can make a
success of organizing a State Wide
movement to help the farmers and
the workers raise their standard OF
living and bring them closer to the
goal Of agrarian freedom and eman-
cipation. Well! Take my money and
send me my stationery.

STATS
TICS OF MONTANA
FOR YEAR 1924
U. S. CENSUS REPORT OF STATE
SHOWS INCREASE IN INDEBT-
EDNESS.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3.-The
Department of Commerce announces
a summary of the financial statistics
of the State Of Montana for the fs-
cal year ending June 80, 1924.
EXPENDITURES
The payments for maintenance and
operation of the general departments
Of Montana for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1924, amounted to- S4,-
904 1926, or S7.82 per capita. This in
cludes $685. apportionments for
education to the minor civil divisions
of the State. In 1923 the comparative
per capita for maintenance and oper-
alton of general departments was
1929, and in 1917, S8.46. The inter
est on debt amounted to- S385,292 and
OUTLAWS for permanent improvements,
$2,032,267. The total payments,
therefore, for expenses of general de-
partments, interest, and OUTLAWS were
1921, 1884. The totals include all
payments for the year, whether made
from current revenues or from the
proceeds of bond issues.
Of the governmental costs reported
above, $1,452,957 was for highways,
/ S188, 497 being for maintenance and
/ 81, 264 ,460 for construction.
The total revenue receipts of Mon
tana for 1924 were S6,795, 286, or S10.-
i So per capita. This was S1,505, 500
more than the total payments Of the
year, exclusive of the payments for
permanent improvements, but $780,
sos less than the total payments in
GLIDING those for permanent improve
ments. These payments in excess of
revenue receipts were met from the
proceeds of debt obligations. Proper
ty and special taxes represented 34.8
per cent of the total revenue for 1924,
33.9 per cent for 1928, and 23.1 per
cent for 1917. The increase in the
amount of property and special taxes
collected was COZ per cent from
1917 to 1923, and Of per cent from
1923 to 1924. The per capita proper
tv and special taxes were S3.77 in
1924, 1887 in 1923, and 1922 in 1917
Earnings of general departments
or compensation for services rendered
by state officials, represented go pei

Work in cooperation on all moves
and actions.
There are many other things that
can be added.
Most all organizations have to con-
tend with cyclists and pie card ar
lists. The egotist and pie card art
list can be overlooked to a degree but
only to a degree, but when you get
that with the faker or when they
combine then your worst trouble
starts. In the past these takers have
been many-both in and out of the
rganization-and the way they ma
nipulated was good. While l am writ
ing this l just happened to pick up
paper. 1t was the Town Topics. /
read an article or letter that Senator
B. K. Wheeler had written to the
Topics editor and in it he mentioned
something about an editorial that
Editor P. ]. Wallace had written in
regard to the Anaconda Copper Co.
purchasing mines in Europe and
South America, ETC., and how he is
for the labor and producer and all
that.
This is sure good when one goes
over the record of Wheeler for the
past few years and sees the cOnnec-
tions with himself and his co-partner
United States Senator T. J. Walsh.
If this isn't Let of cheek or brass
for B. K. to try and have any intel
ligent person to swallow.
No, B. K, you can't get by with
this all the time.
This is one of the many kinds of
fakirs you have to guard against. We
learn as we grow older.
May real organization be organic
ed in the near future with the best
of success. Now, let's go.
