SOMETHING FOR THE
FARM BOARD TO DO

The farmers of Daniels and Valley counties are
netitioning the Federal Farm Board for funds TO
HELM them put in their crops this year Unless
thew can raise enough money to buy seed 1t VIII
make little difference whether there is good
rainfall or another drought this summer
Since the board was organized with the OBJECT
of assisting the farmers there should be no reason
tn believe that this aid will not be Forthcoming.
The Farmers Union is one of the recognized
agencies thru which aid is given the farmers by
the Federal Farm Board. 1t seems to US that u
would be well worth while for every farmer IN the
northwest to get in touch with the local officials
of the Farmers Union and learn what advantages
the organization offers to members. Organization
spells power Every farmer should join cooper
alive.

TwEEDLEDUM OR TWEEDLEDEE

Citizens of Montana are already getting their
excitement ready for the election farce In the fall
The two parties of capitalism are jockeying for
the favor of the Anaconda Mining Company, the
angel of the two parties Both parties are the mis-
tresses of the copper octopus. 1t really does not
make particle of difference to the serfs of Ana
conda which is successful at the polls. The politi-
clans of both will be we'll taken care of.
The only capitalist politician representing Mon
tana in the senate or in the house of representa-
tives who ever takes stand for measures with
anything like working class angle is Senator
Burton K Wheeler. The Producers News is not
supporter of any capitalist politician but when
en- capitalist servant stands for something we
believe will help the masses to take another step
forward we take cognizance of the fact.
AS for Senator T. J. Walsh, he is as reactionary
as they make them He is a creature of the Anti
Saloon League He has gained nationwide recog-
milton thru his war against Doheny and Sinclair
for the benefit of Standard Oil. 1t does not make
a particle of difference to the workers and farm
ers which of those two punderers come out on
top Walsh is dignified and astute servant OF
the plunderbund.
In all probability the producing classes of Mon
tana will be faced with choice of two evils fo
the senate this fall. The Butte workers are talk
! ing about organizing a Labor party. That woulC
be a step in the right direction Whether such
! party would be victorious at the polls is not tn
votes for a candidate who stands on the platform
of the class struggle is always winner whethe
his candidate wins or loses

THELAST STRAW

Burley Bowler's patience is almost exhausted ao-
wishing the farmers of Sheridan County to drop
The Producers News and patronize the locai
bladder" owned by Harry Polk and himself. Inc
scbey Briton has been telling them for years tna1
their paper is no good, that it is run by bunch OF
wicked men and that there does not seem TO De
any likelihood that it will reform and walk the
straight and narrow path in the future
Since Burley's paper has only few readers ~
either Daniels or Sheridan we hereby advise inc
farmers that Burley will quit advising them un-
less they heed his last warning. AS was to be ex-
pected Burley blames US for the recent escapade
in a nearby chicken ranch" in which three men
and three girls were involved. This proves says
Burley that The Producers News is rotten We
naiyely thot when that bad man Rodney SALISBURY
left the sheriff's office that everything would De
Polyannish in Sheridan county but it seems the
natives are incorrigibe and of course Its our 1aut'
We are sorry but helpless. Poor old Burlesque is
doing the best he can to reform us but evidently
we are beyond salvation.
We ask you all to weep with US. Dear readers
you are just as bad as are. If you stopped
reading The Producers News all this evil would
vanish and Burley could attend to his gambling
and bum check writing without being compelled
to safeguard the morals of American citizens He
is going 30 do that now anyhow, he says. The
green baize tables are calling Bring on the
chipsl Sheridan County go to the devil.

GRAIN GAMBLERS ARE FIGHTING

A policy of "watchful friendliness" is reported
to be the attitude of the Chicago board of trade
toward the federal farm board. The grain gambl-
ers turnout the country, fearful that the body
headed by Legge may be forced to do something
to help the grain growers are growing more mill
tant every day and are beginning to raise the cry
of Socialism"
The object of the farmers whose agitation forc-
ed the Hoover administration to go thru the move
ments of helping agriculture, by putting farm
relief bill thru, was to eliminate the middle men
or gamblers in grain. Behind those legal swindl-
ers are the big money kings of Wall Street.
of using public funds to interfere with prices and
legitimate business, to force unfair competition
and 10 endanger honest business.
By "honest business" the agents of the cham
bers of commerce and boards of trade mean their
right to rob the farmers of the product of their
labor thru price artificiay kept at as bow lev
Ell as possible Purchases of grain by the farm
board have tendency to stimulate prices and to
keep them somewhere the boards announced
"fair price, of $1.25 bushel.
The robber ruling classes never fail to raise the
cry of Socialism" when the government is forced
to do something that might help the producing
classes. And conservative leaders of farm and In
dustria labor organizations should realize that
matter how much they protest that they are no
cred" the plutes will charge them with "Bolshe
vism" whenever their policies are calculated t.
mean more money in the pockets of the producer
and less in the jeans of the exploiters.

Washington-(FP) = Old Joe
Grundy resigned as president of
the American Tariff League when
Gov. Fisher of Pennsylvania APP
pointed the veteran high-tariff
lobbyist to the Senate, but his
work in the League goes march
ing on. That was made evident in
the first days testimony, before
the Senate tariff lobby probe COM
mittee, of w. w. Barbour, treas
urer of the League. Grundy used
the organization as a tariff-writ- |
ing agency, which repaid, many
fold, the millions of dollars col
lected by the Republican state and
national campaign committees
from manufacturers in the pro-
tected industries.
For more than a century the
protectionist advocates have ex-
planned their system as one which
raises the wage standard of the
American labprer. When pressed
to cite an instance of actual wage
increase following upon a boost in
tariff rates, they have usually
been embarrassed. But on this
occasion, Jan. 81, 1880, the treas
urer of the American Tariff Lea
que was able to name at least two
workers whose earnings were i'm
proved. True, they were not in
the factories or mills, but in the
national capitol. One was Edward
Nelson Dingley, son of Tariff
Dingley of Maine, and the other
was Clayton Moore, clerk of the
House ways and means commit
tee.
Dingley, who has tried run
ming a newspaper, running TO
Congress and running a series o
high-protection articles in bushes
magazines and G. o. p. papers
has in recent years been employee
by the Senate finance committe
as a tariff expert. He was grant
ed the privilege of the Senat
floor, and was at the call of sue
senators as Smoot, Watson, Nose
and Bingham. Now the seize
correspondence of the Tariff Lea
que, confirmed by Barbour's tei
timony, shows that Dingley ha
drawn almost $500 a year, fl
? four years up to 1928, for article
, written for the American Econ,
mist, organ of the League. Tn
was, beyond question, a case
which the protective tariff raise

Moore, who was listed as a r
search man and correspondent f,
: the American Economist, was pa

U. S. MAIL SERVICE
is FINEST IN WORLD

Washington. "No other nation
gives to its citizens a mail service
comparable to that of the United
States" declares the post office de-
partment
"The citizens of no other country
can communicate with each other or
with the outside world at so small
cost as they can in this country"
it was stated.
No other country even remotely
approaches the United States in the
amount of mail handled.
"The United States postal system
handles one-third of the worlds mail,
equalling in number all the pieces
handled by Great Britain, France and
Russia combined"
The department called attention to
the freedom from mail censorship in
this country, as compared with the
propensity of other countries for
cracking seals"
