ing farm machinery. County
agents are only human and they
are in a position to do those things
il they want TO.
But what | have against. the
county agent system principally 5
that it is a propaganda apparatus
of the capitalist system and par
ticularly of the party in power at
Washington, which is usually the
Republican Party. The county
agents job is TO fill the minds of
the young with decisions of wealth
and grandeur under the present
syStem OF society. Every sane
person today who sees the way
things are going knows that there
never again will be much of a
chance for many to rise into the
ranks of the rich parasite class.
Only comparatively few were able
20 do this in the best of times. 1t
Is clear that instead OF having
their children brought up 10 be

zen that only under a new social
order VIII they be happy and pros

Very cleverly the county agent
gets women 30 be leaders of All
. clubs. Those good women are
being kidded into the belief that
they are helping the youth. They
are not. They are bOlstering up
the system that is defrauding the
fathers of the youth of a decent
price for the food commodities
they produce. They are bolster
ing up the capitalist party that
controls the Department of Agri-

Make the Rich Pay

Editor, The Producers News:
l wish 10 say that l am in hear
ty agreement with the views of
Ashton j. Moore on the millage
tax and bond question in the last
issue of the Producers News. 1t
is hard 10 understand why any
body with a conscience would try
TO saddle more taxes on the poor
farmers these days. We find ev-
erywhere that the committees set
up by Mr.. Linebarger are cOmpos-
ed of well-to-dO citizens and prom
inent members of the Republican
Party almost exclusively. l do
not blame Iinebarger so much for
putting out his line of bunk. He
is getting. paid for it. But why
persons like Carl Bull, Mrs. Joe
Dolin and others in Sheridan
County who know what the people
are up against should organize to
relieve" the people still more is
harder TO understand.
| am as much in favor of educa-
ton as anybody tho l believe the
kind peddled in our goOse-step uni
verSitieS is not the kind that will
induce our young people to think
for themselves. Those universities
particularly our Montana eduea
tiOnal factories - inculcate the
spirit of kOw-tOwing to the riel
and powerful. They do not explain
why in this immensely wealth
country there should be million
of workers unemployed and mil
lions working for less than a liv
ing wage while men like Con Kel
ley of the Anaconda Copper Com
pany and Eugene Grace of Bethle
hem Stell get more than a millio
dollars a year. Why not max
