Merrick was the secretarytreasurer of the Pacific

his most precious find.

League During its last days he was the treasurer Of
that organization. He was stationed in the Twin
Cities OF Minnesota for several years. He is an exnert

Merrck, as auditor of the League perfected the

ON THE ROAD TO A NEW POLITICAL
PARTY
(From Minnesota Union Advocate)

That new national political party is in process of
CESSATION present economic and political developments
strongly indicate. The divergent and antagonistic
forces of the small and powerful group of fnanciers
and industrial autocrats the one side and the
of the farmers, workers and small business men the
other sde have reached the parting of the ways and
the political party can no longer even pretend to
represent both elements.
Both the Republican and the Democratic parties have
always been dominated by putocracy under the guse
of popular CONTROL but the opposing interests of the
wealth producers and of the expoiters have become
clearer and the demand for legislative protection for
the farmers and workers grows nsstent the i'm
possibility of political party serving both interests
becomes evident and the need for new alignment i'm
perative.
The contempt with which President Coolidge treated
the demands of the farmers, and the repeated dsre
gard with which abors dmands have been met by the
dominant political party emphasize the need for new
DEAL
This recognized by La Toilette in 1924, when he
declared the time had for the launching of new
party of the people the old parties were hopeless
and now Norris, Brookhart and Ny declare for the I'm
pending break with the action of the president on the
farm and Muscel Shoals measures and the nomination
of Hoover and Smith.
-Four years ago the elder La Toilette outlined how the
new party would be born and said the breaking point
would be reached when the platform and candidates
the old parties offered in complete disregard of the
desires interests of the wealth producers This has
come to pass and it now looks like the time for new
declaration of independence is at hand
Although the A. F. of L. officials have annnouncec
that the federation will take no part in the launching
OF such movement the rank and file are ready fol
revolt as much as the farmers and once the call i:
sounded millions will respond. There never was time
IN the history of the nation when the crisis was more
acute and the need for radical action more urgent.

World Weather May Help

1880 of the prewar level, an advance
of 8 points since April 10. AT l4o;
the department says, the index is ~
points above May year ago and is
at the highest point reached since
August, 1926. It is the highest May
figure since 1920.
But the farmers must remember
that the same international influences
which may produce better prices TINS
year are likely to reverse themselves
and produce a price slump next year.
Whether the world market prices
which determine the American farm
er's return go up or down the farmer
is at the mercy of world conditions.
The tremendous mortgage which the
United States holds over Europe is
forcing European nations to make des-
perate efforts to become self support
ing. When they must buy staple
foods and agricultural raw materials
abroad they turn to the newer agri-
cultural lands where cheaper and less
exhausted soil and cheaper labor de-
termine prices which would bankrupt
farmers in the United States. Says
the U. S. department of agriculture.
! Farming is a competitive business,
local in the case of highly perishable
fruits and vegetables, national and in
ternational in the case of products
which can be transported such as
grains, meats, dairy products, cotton
and wool. To the extent that prices
of agricultural products in this coun-
try are influenced by world supply
and demand, the welfare and prospect
ty of 6,50G,000 farm families in this
country will be influenced by the sur
plus agricultural production of coun-
tries having cheaper land and cheap
er labor. The problem of maintaining
the high purchasing power and the
high standard of living of the Ameri-
can farmer in the face of the low cost
, foreign products and competition is
exactly the same as that of the Am.
erican laborer in the various indus
tries"
/ Until farmers and industrial work
ers put over a national policy devoted
to their common interests rather thar
to the purpose of the international
bankers the so-called American stand
ard of living will rest on precariou
foundations.

A NEW COURT HOUSE

With the bounteous rains which have visited Sheri-
dan county the past few days and the rosy prospect for
bumper crop the thot of a court house which
would really exemplify the prosperity of Sheridan
ty and be to the prosperity of the residents
of this county and the richness of our lands.
At the present time the visitor has question in his
eye when he the wonderful crops raised Sheridan
county and the prosperity of the county in general af
ter he has visited the court house and seen the low
rambling buildings that would indicate the direst pow
erty
1t is truly said that the prosperity of a county
be judged by its court house and it is high time that
this county put up a building which in architectural
beauty convenience and general structure will surpass
any court house in northeastern Montana.
The cost per taxpayer for such a building would be
to small to be noticeable and the pride in such an
edifice would more than repay the amount of money
expended as people from outside the county were
taken to the county capital building and shown the
results of successful farming in the best county in the
State of Montana.
The County Commissioners of Sheridan County
would do well to give this question considerable atten-
ton and devise ways and by which the building
of a new court house will be reality next year. A
popular appeal by the people, believe will accom-
plish this result.
new court house besides being pride to the
citizens of this county is also necessity The condi
lions in the ramshackle buildings in the hollow far
from the center of this city do augur for efficient
work because of lack of space proper convenences
The court is small that case of Importance
fills the room to overlooking and many people inter-
ested have to leave because they not get into
the small room.
Other counties have courthouses that are pride to
the citizens residing therein several are building or
nave just finished fine structures and Sheridan county
is now in line to show the rest of the State that they

is so characteristic of the people of Montana
Where there's a will there's way and all that is
necessary is to make up minds that we are going
to have suitable building to house our elected of

LABOR Party OF Minnesota to the Minneapolis Chamber
OF commerce, by lining up the organizing forces of the
NonparSan League to work for the so-caled balance
OF power political tactic This he did on orders from
a. Y. lo"ney Had Merrick been successful in putting
across, 1t would have meant the destruction of the
Farmer-Labor Party, for the time being.
Ihs balance of power political policy was the last

I'd with their exposure and defeat on that question
eney were thoroughly licked and dscredted Since
tnat blow has been struck at them thew have wander

Gus careers.
He, together with H. A. Paddock organized collec-
ton agency to realize the posdated checks that the
farmers issued to the NonPartisan League but which
they refused to pay for that nave enumerated
heretofore.
AS auditor and treasurer of the Nonpartsan League
ne was In possession of those checks but what ys-
tilted many farmer in Minnesota is the channel thru
which the collection agency in question got possession
OF those checks There is question that those checks
were illegally in charge of the collection agency For
the state board of the organzano did not authorize
any such transferance of the unpaid checks Merrick
merely appropriated them to use nice word for an
ugly transaction. Merrick probably will do better as
secretaryreasurer of the Pacific Brotherhood Invest
ment Company and he did with those postdated checks
which did not belong to him or to Paddock
At the time that the elite eel-like Mr. Merrcl
was IN the collection agency he was also secretary OF
