The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1930-09-05

Farmers are selfish folks. They
are continually talking about the
hard times and worrying over the
approaching winter and the fear
that they may not be able to pull
thru the cold weather. But they
never give a thOt to the poor dew
lis who are living off their backs
the bankers, business men, law
yers, insurance magnates, rail-
road officials and other honest
citizens. If its going to be tough
on the farmer its going to be
much harder for his afOremen-
toned dependents The farmer is
accustomed TO hard graft-his
aforementioned dependents are
not. To beg they are ashamed
and to work they are not able.

Here is where a little Christian
ity is needed. A little kindly
consideration for the ''Other fell
low" Instead of the farmer say
ing: 81 wonder how l am going
; to keen my family until the next
? harvest or until the price of farm
! products goes up" he should say
: 81 wonder what is going to be-
come of the capitalists and their
agents until / am able 30 support
them in the style to which they
: are accustomed" That would be
!, what call Christianity. Yah!
: Always think of the poor fellow
II who is depending ON you for a
; living. He has got used to living
y on you, Mr.. Farmer. and now you
!. seem to be going back on him.
: Yes, darn it, Organizing Farmer
. Labor parties and radical papers
a and praising Soviet Russia and
- saying that you should have the
!. full social value of the product Of
= your toll for yourself and your
r family instead of giving most of
= it away to what you call para
p sites" No wonder His Holiness
az the Pope felt obliged to warn
- YOU that you are on the road to
Bolshevism. Better look out.

' az Indeed the industrial worker:
.ho are almost as bad. 1t is true
IL that they pay more heed to th'
bosses than Mr.. Farmer does bu
lee even the wage slaves are saying
eep funny things. They are actuall,
beginning to believe that industr
owes them a living. When the
read of a rich mans wife sum
y29 her husband for compensation TO

E3 million dollars on wheel
