CAPITALISTS CHANT BURIAL HYMN FOR FARMER
BY Leland Olds.

That the dspossessed farmers and their families may be-

by B. F. Yoakum in the Manufacturers Record. Yoakum
who railroad magnae the dectorates OF the StLou
San Francisco and the Seaboard Air ne expresses the

ference board on the farm problem
The American farmer, says Yoakum, because of cir
cumsances which he has control is fading from the
present day picture of FREE independent Amercanism Men
and of the farm who lose their homes remain

feeling of loyalty and devotion their country they had

YOakum says the American farmers today owe S. $780,
100000 equal the funded debt of the country

year interest this huge debt He says Public
cords OF farm mortgage foreclosures misleading The facts
are that thousands of farmers peacefully surrender

MONTANA SPENDS

Editor Producers News:
In Montana we now have almost
100000 children in need of public ed
ucation. To provide schooling for this
vast and growing army the good
people Of the state are now generously
expanding S12,O0O,0O0 per annum; and
for the one purpose of putting their
own educational program into effect,
the same good people have employed
one state superintendent, 5000 teach
ers and 65 county superintendent OF
schools. The total annual eXpendl-
lures for education now constitutes
about half of all our public expenses.
/ In their desire fer the best IN edu-
cation the taxpayers have gladly
shouldered> this immense load. More
than go per cent of it is borne by the
tax-ridden farmers, and less than 40
per cent of it is appOrtiOned to the
rural schools.
A year ago a few of these employees
Of our educational system conceived
the idea of fastening a new annual
tax of two and a quarter millions up
on the bending backs of their employ
ers-an additional tax burden to con-
tinue for twenty long years, and to be
levied and distributed in the same
Ilop-sided manner. This braZen prOpcr
sition was conceived by the inner cir
Gle of the Montana Education Assocl-
ation-one of the most powerful and
persistent tax-boOsting agencies in
the state. Of course the people were
not consulted. When the proposition
was brought before joint committee
of the legislature, the farmers who
begged for the usual courtesy of a
hearing were spurned, insulted and
ignored. Stuffed committees do not
conduct honest Investigations.
Fortunately, however, the bill must
be approved by the voters before it
can finally become law.
The other day a high official of this
Union of Montana Tax Boosters is
sued a set of orders, both express
and implied, to our Sc county superin-
tendents of schools, not only calling
upon them to devote official time, en-
ergy and funds to the vigorous pro-
motion of this tax-boosting campaign,
but also advising them as public of-
ficials to call to their assistance the
5000 teachers of our schools.
The superintendent and teachers
are not only called upon to assist in
circulating Leaflet No. 1, every ma
terial allegation in which is either ex-
press of personal attacks upon such
farmers as have presumed to combat
the five-mill levy.
Needless to say, the time and ener-
gy of teachers and superintendent
rightfully belong to the people tt
whom they owe their positions anC
from whom they receive compensa.
ton. 1t now remains to be seen how
r many will so far forget themselve.
as to become parties to such fiagran
missuses of a solemn public trust.
The proposed five-mill levy is mo-
alone an unwarranted assault upon
taxpayers of Montana, but it would
mean swift and certain disaster fol
the hard-pressed rural schools.

L. You Should Know
HEREDTTY IN DISEASE.

With the developments in scien-
tific knowledge, have come better
understanding; we know today
that, there is very little in the old
theory.
We know that tuberculosis is ac-
quired in every case that appears
after infancy. I saw once an in
FAINT born with tubercular meningi-
tbs, the mother asrself being far
advanced with tuberculosis of the
lungs. This ! did not regard as
an hereditary case, as applied to
children in general.
Tendencies are inherited, not dis
eases. We SEQ a parallel in plant
life. Some trees are harder than
others; some varieties of wood
withstand the onslaughts of decay
much longer than othrs. Some
Towering plants live, exposed to
wintry blasts; others must be
housed. There is quite as much
variation in the resisting power of
human beings to disease.
Certain families of the human
species have delicate nervous syst
ems; others are peculiarly susepti-
bic to skin irritations; and still
others exceedingly sensitive to
drug influences. These have in
heTited tendencies. The son of a
father who had smokers cancer
should never smoke. The child of
a mother who died of tuberculosis
should use every precaution to
keep away from the neighboring
victim.
Children of parents who suffered
from any phase of insanity may
have the strongest of tendencies to
breakdown Of the nerves. Such
children, as soon as they arrive at
suitable age, should be enjoined by
teachers and physicians, to avoid
living as the afflicted ancestor lived
Tissue paper will last as long as
sole leather if it is taken care of
but under no other condition
Watch the inherited tendencies
and avoid exciting causes %
