THE famous ~ story of Harold Bell
L Wright's finally got into the NOV
les. Altho only another western" in
justice this must be said with reser-
vations." 1t has few favorable ones
to its credit.
The picture is really above the level
Of the story from many angles. The
photography is unusually fine. The
treatment of the desert in all it's
moods is splendidly put over. If any
of you have cussed the heat and sand
of an Imperial Valley ranch on job
land we wish this on no one) you will
appreciate the desert STUFF in its
unusually accurate and realistic treat
ment The author got his inspiration
for the story from the marvellous feat
Of irrigating this desert into beautiful
farm land and 1t was worthy of big
ger mind. One vivid scene of the first
opening of a dam on the Colorado
river to water the desert was actually
thrilling. There was the quality OF
the beginning Of the famous march
over the prairies in "The Covered
Wagon" The feat itself was so big
one can't escape the drama. Scenes
of raging food were well done.
The story is of course piece of
clap-trap. You have probably wasted
your time on it. In retaining the
desert, two of goods noblemen" seek
favor Of n fair damse1 and she ends
up loving one like brother" and the
other like something very much more
serious. Harold Bell Wright being

Article 8.
BY WILLIAM ROUCK.

NOW let us briefly sketch a program
~ for the future of farm organiza-
tons and their policy in this country.
mean for virile, radical movements
that will have a punch and real policy
for fundamental relief, for permanent
betterment of the countrymen.
First, it must be educational, and
that must be the first great object, to
show farmers and country people gen
orally that they have been misih-
formed all their lives as to the charter
of so-called American freedom, that it.
is freedom for the few to exploit the
many. History must be cited and
read, conditions must be compared,
propaganda must be analysed until
they see clearly that the conditions
here were the direct outgrowth OF
charter or constitutional provisions,
planned with careful consideration, so
that there might be no escape from
universal exploitation of the masses,
that words were juggled to confuse
the unsophisticated farmer, until he
looked upon wolves and mistook them
for kindly friends and yielded himself
humbly to the robber lords of indus
try, speculation and graft. He can
and will be brought to see this clearly.
Second. Then he must and can be
shown what exploitation means for
the producer, the ultimate butt OF
backstop of all profits, taxes, rents
and interest.
He can and must be shown thru his
own organization that these profits
taken from him create surplus, which
goes into the hands of a few; that each
year this surplus multiplies and its
further augmented by interest com
pounded upon the surplus of the year
before.
His organization must show him
that this surplus, ever growing and
compounding itself, is pyramided upon
his shoulders ever more and more,
until at last it will break and ruin any
class or nation submitting to such in
fernal conditions.

great school OF economic learning, and
this must be thru and in his own or
ganization, one of1cered and directed
by his own class.
Now as to this organization. 1t
must be first of all planned so as to
insure it's permanent control from the
people up, not by the officers down,
as present and past organizations of
American farmers and workers have
been, and planned also to have a ter
rife punch and power when it be-
comes necessary to use it.
Then, in order to be this, it must be
disciplined movement, one that shall
have implicit confidence and willing
ness to serve by its membership. This
last must be the pivot of all its move
ments and plans.
Now, it is clear to me that staying
in old capitalist economic movements
after certain period has been
reached, after certain amount Of ed
ucation has been disseminated, is not
only folly, but absolutely suicidal to
progressive or radical movements.

Farmers and Farm Problems

Many a great effort and hope has been
scattered and lost and all its plans
brought to naught by adherence to this
idea of "stay with the old organiza-
tion-bore from within"
Now, that's a good idea for the trade
unions which are working class organ
izations. But the same does not APP
ply to capitalist political parties. But
when you bore to certain point what
happens? To the writer's mind the
height of folly is to stay in old CAPT
talist movements. 1t not only does
not build or organize anything worth
while, but it is used as text by the
exploiters to prevent any fundamental
growth.
believe, and believe with all my
mind and feeling, that the only way
to educate and build radical move
ment Is to get out-proc aim what
you are and in a straiaht-from-the-
shoulder way build it up.
Is the farmer in America open to a
real 'honest-to-God" fundamental
movement Can he grasp fundamental
economic truths? Yes, just as easy,
and more 50, than most workers.
But let me say he must be ap-
preached right. The trouble with
lot of us is we have some precon-
ceived notions, mostly bunk, Of how
these things must come about, and
we fail, and so blame the ignorant
farmer for our own fool notions and
say it can't be done.
Here are some matters that the
American farmer can and will be
brought to see largely in the next few
years:
a. The fallacy of decided" land ten
ure, and how he can be protected in
living and producing upon his farm.
b. The fallacy and utter wrong in
profit" money system. used as pri-
vate property, and used as great in
terests wish to throttle industry and
farming
C. The rufnation Of farmers, caused
by private monopolies, and the ex-
tinction of them in the general vel
fare Of the people.
d. The private monopoly in land as
exemplified in great values OF land IN
treat cities made by great numbers
Of people as a whole-and the i'm
mense wealth gathered by a few who
are so fortunate as to have secured
title in one way and another of these
Ilands-and, acting as landlords, put a
direct tax upon every unborn babe
for rentals to the landlords.
Shown these great principles
they are all more or less fundamental
lit will not be far to go to the final
step.
And the writer is convinced thru his
association with the farmers of Amer
lea that the education and training Of
large groups of farmers in these
truths could be attained by support
ing such an organization as Will. put
these forces into effect.
We are now building such q move
ment in the Progressive Farmers"
movement, and we ask the support Of
all far-seeing and intelligent people in
terested in the emancipation Of the
crkers of the world.

Fl Ford Planes Reach Cities

st. Paul-Demonstrating the posi-
bilities in the field of commercial
aeronautics, 81 airplanes, competing
in the second annual commercial re-
liability tour for the Edsel B. Ford
trophy, landed at the st. Paul air
port. The array of planes, swooping
down out of the air, one by one, in
fancy-captivating fashion, TAXED
across the field and then took posi-
tions side by side along great white
line on the field. The aircraft ex-
emplifed the progress which man is
making in mastering the final medium
of transportation. From Milwaukee
to st. Paul the planes had travelled
POI miles. One plane made the trip
in two hours and seven minutes, at a
speed at times which ranged from
40 to $50 miles an hour Other
planes made the flight, the fourth
jump on the course of $500 miles in
three to five hours.

Paris-"Old Father Victory" has
again come to the defense of France
in her hour of trouble. George Glenn
enceau, wartime premier, appealed
to President Coolidge in an open let
ter, not to treat the settlement Of
war debts as purely commercial
matter. The proposed Berenger-Mel-
Ion debt agreement, he asserted to be
impossible of fulfillment, and to
threaten the independence Of France.
The spirited appeal of the "Tiger,"
who will be IS years old next month,
came with dramatic unexpectedness
at a moment when the French gov
eminent is hesitating before taking
definite position on the ratification Of
the proposed agreement. Midday
editions of the afternoon papers gave
the letter prominent display. The
Franco-American negotiations lead
ing to promises of payment, the for
mer premier declared, are impossible
of fulfllment because they would re-
suit in a loan with solid security in
the shape of our territorial posses
sions, as was the case for Turkey"
He warned President Coolidge that
France will never accept such thing.
