THE COUNTY AGENT LUXURY

In several counties turnout the Northwest the
over-taxed farmers wish to be relieved of the lux
ury of county agents. In Koochining County, MIN
nesota, the farmers don't see what earthly use
they have for an expert whose job is to teach
them how to increase agricultural production while
the Farm Board is urging them 30 produce less.
In Burke county, North Dakota, the farmers are
circulating petitions in order to get the matter of
discontinung the county agent before the voters
in the elections. Most of the county agents in
North Dakota are playing the role of scab herders
and aiding the kulaks in beating down the price
Of farm labor All over the agricultural areas they
are in most cases reactonary and servile tools OF
the department of agriculture and servile tools of
the department of agriculture and the county COM
rnissioners Many of them suspected of carry
ING on propaganda for reactionary county commits
sioners on whose good viii they depend to great
extent for their salaries. The county agent sys-
tenn is part of the capitalist bureaucracy and it
seems to US, particularly during these hard times,
that the farmers could find better for the
money they pay those fellows.

.,o, condemned the senators, but Landed its con-
pressmen Both factions indorsed the hepuoncan
administration of the state the Leaguers ho"SVst'
stepping ahead little in their resolutions anu ue
manding a few things the IVA will probably OPP
nose when the legislature meets But on tne
whole though there was a divided meeting, the
Leaguers holding their meeting In the mouse clan
Der and the other faction gong 10 the oPpos tS
end Of the building and meeting in the senate
chamber, the Republicans are fairly wen agreeu
that they are all good Republicans.
The Leaguers, if the Bismarck Capital ivln
which we clipped the resolutions passed mas the
matter straight Endorsed the regularly nomnateu
Republican candidates-which would include Snal-
err Morris Tim Hall Kitchen, Berthe BURMESE, anu
all This means that there will be no canuluaCe
for governor this fall indorsed by the farmers or
ganizaton, but that farmers and ther wives wln
have to vote for the IVA candidates as well as Tor
the League candidates that won out TINS spring
This is of course, if they want to be classed as
qood Republicans and want to stay IN gooo SCahu-
ing with the powers that be IN the Nonparusah
League We've got to be Republicans, whetner or
mo- the bosses said in effect at the meeting IN
Bismarck last week.
Republicanism is more important than program,
more important than economic justice, more nm
portant than progress more important than mill
tant work for the betterment of the farmers as
class That is the order of the faction that rules
the Non, artisan League. You can take 1t o. leave
it. We speaking for ourselves only, expect -
LEAVE II.
the Nonpartisan League will do anything towards
putting up opposition candidates 10 run against
the IVA candidates who won in the primary. But
Judging from the action of the central committee
members who were Nonpartisans may expect
no such course. The League is dead by its own
action. If there was any life left in the hollow
she'll that remained after the primary campaign,
it was knocked in the head at Bismarck last week.
There has been little life in the body since 1870
but there was some small hope last spring that it
could be revived, and we, though we had little
hope helped in the attempted revival. 1t appeared
that the spirit of the League had left the body
years ago, as many OF US maintained II haa
and the voice of the voters last June fully corrob-
GRATED the statements of those among the old
timers who said there was no League left. Now
since it was officially made known from Bismarck
that such is indeed the case, perhaps the old body
can rest in peace Leaguers are now merely Re

THE FARMER-LABOR PARTY
MOVEMENT GROWS

The Non-partisan League of North Dakota is
dead, writes l.. C. Miller editor of the Bowbells
Tribune in editorial commenting meeting
of Leaguers and l. V. AS to organize the state
central Republican committee. They could not
work together but they both endorsed the works
and pomps of the Hoover administration, tariff
and all. The fact is that there is no longer par
ticle of fundamental difference between the poti-
cal programs of those two wings of the G. o. p
In the same issue of the Bowbells Tribune there
is recorded the organization of Farmers Council
in Burke County, the object of which is ''to enroll
all the progressive men and women into this or
ganization who feel the need of a political organ-
cation controlled by the farmers" The plan for
growth of the organization is to get similar orga-
nizations started in other counties later on and
unite them under state organization with central
authority somewhat the order of the old Non
PARTISAN League.
We welcome the birth of the Farmers Council
of Burke County and hope that the example of
followed by similar action thruout the state
The Non-partistan League of North Dakota
made history but it is now only caricature of
what 1t once was. 1t has completely lost its soul
and is spiritually dead. 1t was never correct in
principle because the small farmers cannot make
use of the machinery of the capitalist parties
They must build their own political organization
independent of capitalist influence The time Is
ripe in North Dakota for militant Farm-Labol
Party.

The WASHINGTON SCENE
By LAWRENCE TODD. Federated Press


hington-FP-From the White
House, on August 18th. along with
the announcement that President
Hoover would not so West on a
fishing trip, came word that he and
the twelve governors from drouth-
stricken states would consider
means for feeding thousands of
farm families whose crops have
been burned up by the sun. These
families will have to be provided
with food and clothing and other
necessaries until next harvest time.
This is one of the most interest
ing admissions made by the Hoover
administration. 1t amounts to say
ing that American farmers. IL over
taken by natural calamity threaten
ing them with starvation and cold,
nave natural right TO receive from
the public, such emergency aid as
will enable them to go on with their
work. Maintenance is to be provid-
cd for them, not because of their
having fought in war or because
they have been victims of a war,
but just because they are farmers
residing in this country, and are in
need.

THE. TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION

On another page there appears a story of the
organization of The Taxpayers League of Sheri-
dan county, which has already elected provision
al committee and is scheduled to meet in Antelope
on September 5th-the day before the mass con-
vention of the Farmer-Labor Party-to perfect its
organization.
The Producers News cordially welcomes the APP
pearance of The Taxpayers Association which
corresponds to the needs and the wishes OF the
taxpayers of the county, who have for long time
viewed with alarm the mounting of taxes and have
seen the county sinking deeper and deeper into the
mre of debt from which il had been extrlcated by
the former economical and efficient Farmers Ad-
minstration.
According to outline of its purpose given to
the Producers News the Taxpayers Association
purposes to be non-politicaI and nonpartistan. We
tsse; y that this means that the organization will
of public funds the expenses of the county COM
missioners and those of the various elected off
GERS. There is a general belief that almost every
county office is overstaffed at the present time
and that considerable saving to the taxpayers
could be made by eliminating some of the excess
baggage. If any individuals are employed in any
or all of the county offices foS political reasons
and not because their services are indispensable
that fact could be made known to the public by
the Taxpayers Association. If there is nepotism
practsed in the court house the public is entitled
10 know about it.
The Taxpayers Association, if properly directed
along the line outlined at its provisional meetin,
render great service to the tax-ridden citi
zens of Sheridan County. If it succeeds in steer
ing clear of entange dement's that would be like
to doubt in the public mind as to its single
ness of purpose and avoids interested partisanshir
the progressive and honest elements in the count
will give it whole-hearted support. An organiza
