MIR. LEGGE-THE FARMERS
FRIEND

By Act of Congress, federal farm relief plan
was adopted, committee appointed to execute the
plan and a fund of $5OOOOO,0O0 appropriated to
oil the machinery. So far the quantity of oil sup
piled has been almost nil.
Chairman Legge, former 100000 year execu-
tive or the International Harvester company, was
questioned by a senate committee regarding his
connections with farm industry and his qualifica-
tons for the job entrusted to him by President
Hoover
Mr.. Legge admitted that he had ga small frac-
ton of one per cent of stock" in the Harvester
company. 1t developed that the current value of
his Harvester holding is about S1,O00,000.
Under the leadership of Mr. Legge the farm re-
lief board has followed the policy of requiring
co-operatives to exhaust their own resources of
credit before they could receive aid from the $780,
100000 farm relief fund. This gives the big, in
terest-hungry banker his share of the farmers
hide. When the poor farmer is soaked good and
plenty he MAY be given a crumb from the farm
relief board table.
The farmers would be just as well off if this
mion-dollar friend of theirs stuck TO his job with
the Harvester company. The International Har-
vester trust is interesting in getting money out
of the farmers and not in helping them. Mr..
Legge caught the habit and cannot get rid Of it.

HARVESTER TRUST HEAD BALKSFARM AID

Washington-(FP) - Alexander
Legge, who left the presidency of
the International Harvester Co.,
temporarily, to become chairman
and dictator of the new Federal
Farm Board, was grilled for two
hours, Sept. "a, by members of the
Senate committee on agriculture.
This committee will report on the
witness of Legge and the other
members of the board for confirm
alton. Their attitude toward Legge
was distinctly hostile. However,
the Senate is likely to confirm The
entire membership of the board.
Senators McNary, Wheeler,
Brookhart, Smith of South Caro-
lima and others developed through
questions the fact that Legge has
stock in the harvester trust worth
more than a million, and that this
is the least part of the fortune he
has built up through his long con-
nection with the trust. He never
farmed. He never belonged TO a
cooperative. But he has put thru
his board a ruling that sets aside

nations success in war according
to their several capacities and re-
sources" 1t declares that "To take
the profits out of war and to re-
quire equal service for all, and deny
special profits to any, will be con-
ducive to peace, which is our ira
ditional policy"
This declaration of the end to
be attained by a general draft acs
is put forward by the same ele-
ments that supported the former
national commander of the Ameri-
can Legion in advocating the John
SON Capper general draft bill. The
Legion chief admitted, before the
House military affairs committee,
that "you cannot conscript wealth"
The present resolution does not
disapprove private profit from war,
either; it merely disapproves "spe-
cial' profits.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER a, 1929
EASING IT INTO THE FARMER

Under the landlord system in Ireland when a
tenant improved his land the landlords agent came
along, patted the farmer on the back, then went
away and raised the rent 1t is not surprising that
only those tenants who suffered from an mcon-
trollable itch to work continued to make improve
ments.
In the United States when a farmer plants lot
of wheat and nature favors him with good crop,
the commission men hail him as first class pa
triot and pay him patriots price for his grain.
You all know what that means. The blame is plac-
ed on the shoulders of good old "over-production"
This year the farmer expected to get good
price for whatever Old Sol did not burn up. Well,
he simply didn't Is it any wonder that the Amer
lean farmer is beginning to think that he might as
well be engaged rending his trousers and sewing
them up again planting grain outside of what
he needs for his own consumption?
A farmer walked into the office few days ago
and in the course of conversation said "Last
year if had high protein wheat we would get
80 or 60 cents a bushel for it over the market
price This year we have it and it isn't worth
damn to u.s." That's just it. He's damned if he
does ard he's damned if he don't There is GER
tain religious theory Rugged by special brand of
Christian that if one is destined to be damned
nothing this side of hell can save him. 1t seems
that the farmer is doomed to be fleeced by the
grain gamblers whether his crop is good or poor.
Perhaps the farmer is to blame. God only helps
those who help themselves. The grain gamblers
organized. They have their representatives in
state and national legislatures. They have their
political parties the-Democratic and Republican
parties, the parties of the capitalists Rich farm
tell them they should be nOn-partisan, and
vote for "good" republicans and "good" democrats.
Rich labor leaders peddle the hol1um to union
labor This advice is the bunk. What the produc-
ing classes rural and urban need, is party that
will represent their interests the political field
That party must be their own. It must be con-
trolled by them and they must have the power to
recall any representative who is unfaithful to his
trust
Yes, God helps those who help themselves.

Reichert alleged Thatcher was an

der the receivers report no claim
existed against the audit company,
and Attorney Usher L. Burdick,
Fargo, of counsel for creditors, was
fold that in event a claim should
be presented as against the audit
company, that he would be granted
nernnission to file deposition
which he said would disprove any
such claim.
The listed assets are slightly in
excess of 100000, the receiver tes-
titled. Asked to place cash value
unon them, he said he was unable
to do so. Many of these assets are
old most dated checks given to the
Nonpartistan league; others are
notes given nearly 10 years ago.

which was that the money entrust-
ed to the new board be loaned di-
rectly to farm co-operatives. Legge,
playing for the bankers, has de-
MED the co-operatives the right to
borrow money from his board at
3 5-8 per cent until they have bor-
rowed at high rates from the in
termediate banks 10 the extent of
90 per cent of their security. Hav-
ing satisfied the bankers taste for
interest payments, the farm COOP
eratives can then borrow another
10 to 10 per cent at the low rate
from the Farm Board.
McNary pointed out that the
Senate had deliberately defeated a
proposed amendment to the Farm
Board bill when it was under de-
bate, that would have granted the
board permission to do just what
Legge has done. Congress de-
clared that the farm co-operatives
should get loans at low interest
rates from the government. Legg-
has arbitrarily nullified this pur-
pose of the law.
