The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1930-03-14

of our cooperative enterprises,
but even these failures are not in
vain. All tend to improve the con-
ditions, to educate and enlighten
our fellow men.
One of our most successful CO.
operative enterprises is our news
paper, The Producers News, which
has stood the test for many years
and has always been on the job,
bringing truth, hope and enlight-
eminent to thousands of homes. l
do congratulate the stockholders
of the Peoples Publishing Co., and
the taxpayers of Sheridan county,
that we were so fortunate as to
get genius such as G. E. Taylor
to head our paper.
This man has done more for the
welfare of the farmers and work
ers in Sheridan county than any
other man. He has done more to
clean the county of corrupt politi-
clans, he has done more to reduce
our taxes, he has done more to
enlighten our intellect, than any
other man. He is the man who
made Plentywood and Sheridan
county known as a shining star
far and wide in our nation. He is
the man the capitalist corporations
fear, he is the man who makes
the bootleggers tremble. He is
the man whom the corrupt politi-
clan shuns, and consequently he
is denounced by these classes of
people because he interferes with
their business.
Once in a while we find farm
er or a worker that knocks ano
, abuses this man. They are in the
/ same situation as the sinner who
crucified their redeemer. So with
the great Master, we will but ex-
claim, Father forgive them fol
they know not what they do"
Individuals that should be de,
nounced are those that play the
; Judas roll, as some of our county
: commissioners. Before they were
: elected to their present office they
4 favored the farmers program il
r speech and action. Now they arr
against it, and against their owl
interests. This they have shown
by giving the county printing t.
Joe Dolin and by taking the boun
ty off gophers and rabbits. Thu
determination of these DESTRUCTIVE
animals should be encouraged b!
higher bounties.
These are just straws indicat
ing which way the wind blows
not in favor of the farmers b.
any means, though discontinuinj
the paying of bounty will reduc
the taxes a few cents for tn
/. Main Streeters, it is at the ex
! pense of the farmers.
The Dagmar Farmers letter i
the Producers News is not mis-
y leading in regard to higher taxes
The taxes are on the increase a
= whole. The state managed t
= reduce the state tax in the Gen
! eral Fund about one cent on a hal
= section of land. The county take
j are higher without the increase i
y school district levies. But do no
expect any reduction in the take
!. for the smaller taxpayers unde
q our present administration, eithe
. in county, state or nation. Their
are big reductions in the incom
+ tax which lets the big corporation
4 off easy. The Nations Army an
. Navy are still being increased.
: Bigger budget for prohibition er
: forcement is allowed. More revt
% nue. is needed which means highe
f taxes, higher prices of necessitie
a and machinery we have 10 Blu!
! and lower wages and prices G
products we have to sell.
It There is but one way to solv
J. these social problems: that is
IS have the nation take over and ri
le the leading industries. But do M
l. expect this reform from the Re
.e publican or the Democratic pal
ties as they are controlled by tn
/ great corporations.
