AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE

THE COUNTY Business Administration" elect
ed by the bankers and business men, has shown
their business ability and administered the coun-
ty until there is nothing more there to admins
6ate. They have eaten up everything in sight
and are now getting down to the bottom of the
pile.
AT the time the farmer administration was
running the county all funds were on a cash basis
At the present time the county officials can not
even collect their own salary They get a regis
tered warrant that nobody will buy They can
keep it for a souvenir and frame it. with Frank
French's autograph it could probably be sold to
the voters as an ornament, and proud parents
could tell their children what this man did for the
county.
Lately Nels Madsen was sent to Minneapolis
to try and sell county bonds and warrants. but
nobody was interested-did not want them at any
price. Now their only hope is that lot of taxes
will be paid this fall so they viii be able to eat
little longer-they have eaten up some of the
school district money = simply taken everything
IN sight. 1t takes lot 20 keep Carl Peterson and
mis- wife and the Frank French family on the paw
roll.
Most of our county officials have worked with
out bonds lately. The surety bonds are paid for
oy the county, and it just happened that the cOun-
y had picked out some kind of bum company
which took the money and then quit doing bust
ness-just like some banks do. The bum Surety
Company was represented by Lard s. Olson. so
what else could you expect? Lard was paid nice
sum for writing the bum bonds so now he is that
much ahead in the hijacking game. This little
confidence game is costing the county about five
hundred dollars extra
The officers involved are Commissioner Ank

CAPITALIST LEADERS REVEAL
STUPIDITY
(FrOm Union AdvOcate.)

DESTROYING GOOD COTTON didn't appeal to
~ the farmers who raise cotton and so the Fed
eral Farm Board was told to dig up better idea.
Aside from the false economics involved. men
and women have an ingrown aversion to DESTROY
ing things that have value Human beings revolt
against destroying things they have made or
raised.
The amazing thing is that government board
should ever have proposed such step. There
has seldom been actually too much of anything.
There has often been an inability on the part of
the masses to get enough of anything That is
the thing to straighten out.
Anyone who says the American people could
not use more cotton is foolish. They could, Just
as they could more shoes, more wool-more
everything useful and good
Give them them the means to get it and they
will use it.
The well paid wage Garner always has more
than the poorly paid wage Garner. If all wage
earners were well paid it is clear that more things
would be used.
There are plenty of people who haven't
enough cotton clOth-plenty! There are little
girls in this and every other city with but one
pitiful little cotton dress. Plenty of mothers with
but one cotton dress-plenty more with no more
than two.
Couldn't some wise person figure out how to
use that miscalled surplus of cotton to make
things for the under-supplied thousands upon
thousands?
The supply Of nonsense among politicians is
too large. That's one place where there's sur
plus The number of politicians who look to the
welfare of the corporations and the rich is too
large. The number who try to find way to
equalize distribution 50 that things can be got in
TO use and people made happy is too ALFRED
small.
Well, here's one way to get cotton and many
other things into use. Get more money going into
wages and less into profits for Wall Street
Pyramid corporations have bled plenty of in
dustries white through one layer of profits and
dividends upon another
The public utility field is pretty guilty in
that respect.
The food industry is pretty guilty in that re-
spect.
As for textiles, where cotton is used - well.
that industry has been plain loco.
Plentyof nations have tried 10 raise priees nv
limiting production and by destroying cOmmodi-
ties. England didn't succeed with rubber: Brazil
hasn't succeeded with coffee. Failure follows
wrong methods
Sound results viii flow from getting things to
the people; not from keeping things away from
the people Who ever gave anybody the right to
say that cotton, or wheat, should be burned while
millions want and cry out in need of cotton and
wheat?
America, wake upl People must come firstl

FEDERAL AID NOT so
GOOD

Medicine Lake, Mon.
The Producers News.
Gentlemen.
Why is it that none of our elect
ed officers does anything to trv ia
protect the rights and privileges
of the farmer? Why do they not
protest against the manner in
which the federal seed and feed
loans are handled and the way
the farmers are beving hoodwink-
ed?
The federal seed loan for in
stance. They give out instructions
as to the amount of loan allowed,
etc. If you wish to put in 300
acres and make application for
$500 to do so you give them secur-
ity on the full 800 acres, but they
may cut your loan down 10 5000
if they see fit, yet they hold secur-
ity on the full 800 acres so the
farmer can not borrow any more
and can not seed as many acres
as he is giving security on. Those
gentlemen who dish out the money
know more about our business
than we do.
Then they stall US off until too
late so as to cause US to hire help
to put in the crop, also they send
US one-half of the amount allowed
and tell US to use it up first, then
apply for the balance and show
what we did with the first half
they want US to know who is
handling it.
The feed loan rules are not any
better. Three dollars per head per
month. If we have 10 head and
apply for $50 per month they take
that peculiar notion and only al
low US $40 per month, vet they
hold security on the 10 head lust
the same. They allow US to bor-
row feed for only six head of hors-
es but if we own 20 head they
want security on the 20 head. Per-
haps they will tell US to feed the
20 head on go cents per month.
They send Us half of the amount

plenty of kick and are to the
point. Keep up the good work.
l am enclosing a clipping from
the Minepolis Tribune of Sept. u.
This shows that things aren't so
good in Minnesota. We had a tax
indignation meeting here yester-
day attended by over 100. AS usu-
al the work of digging 1O-cent pO-
tatoes was more important than
attending a protest meeting. Yet
they kick about taxes. 1t viii in
terest you to know that all coun-
ties north of the Twin Cities and
Mile Laos Lake have asked for
government aid also. They are in
the same boat as you folks, low
prices on farm produce and
drouth. Vegetables can scarcely
be given away here though there
are lots of them grown. Cattle
scarcely pay the trouble of ship
ment to South st. Paul. Of course
we viii eat but the wherewithal to
pay taxes IS burning question.
Road work here, as elsewhere
means little either to local labor
or businessmen as most labor is
shipped in and machinery has dis
placed men and horses. While the
conditions locally are not ripe for
work of the U. F. l. it is rapidly
getting in condition for the good
work.
The Farmers Coop. Oil Co. or
gained last spring soon divided
into two camps-the right and the
left wingers. AS such organiza-
tons are dependent to and control
led by finances, 1 cannot see how
they can succeed under the pres
ent system of private control of
finances.
Why do you not procure per-
mission to reprint Cong. Chas. A.
Lindbergh's works on Capital?
believe at the present time is the
psychological time for it and
would create a demand for the pa
per almost nationwide. This I
believe should be done before the
popularity of Lindbergh, Jr's. pop
ularity wanes. l have a copy of
"The Money Trust" which | will
send you if you can get permits
sion TO print it. l wrote to my
brother Charlie about it some
time ago but he was probably too
busy to give it much attention.

allowed and tell US to use that Nm
then apply for balance and show
how the first half was used. The
more monkey work they can put
into 1t the better they like it
dragging it along gives a govern
ment job to somebody that much
longer.
II they would send us the full
amount we ask for at once we
could make considerable saving bv
buying in quantities and getting
1t home rather than be foOling ali
winter with it, as the farmers do
not apply for more than thew need.
Can they wonder if the farmers
give them security on dead horses
and cattle? They lead the way and
teach people to be dishonest. There
VIII be quite number of deaths if
We feed them the way and amount
the loan office allows US.
Would also like to call attention
to the Land Bank using the mail
to defraud the people, running un-
der the disguised name of "Feder-
al, when the federal government
has nothing whatsoever to do with
it. They advertise to make loans
when IN fact as was shown in this
county this last year, they are on
ly holding a $50 sack. You 90
and toss IN your $50 then ask them
if they will allow your loan. They
keep the $50 and tell you they do
not make any more loans, or find
some small excuse, ANYTHING they
have to offer is good for that $40
and you are the sucker.
If any of US poor devils. who
pay the bill would use the mail to
defraud other people we would get
what is coming to us and what
these birds should have. We farm
ers always have shouldered the
burdens and have had things like
this forced onto us but we are
learning from experience as well
as from leaders and are learning
mighty fast.

TAXPAYERS REVOLT AND
DEMAND ECONOMIES
Wright County Rally to Cut Taxes
Is Attended by Crowd Of
5000.

Buffalo. Mimi, Sept. 1.-THE tax
payer has come into his oWn-sc
least in Wright county. No longer
can he be depicted by cartoonists as
weak, timid - a fOrlorn individual
who staggers painfully through life
under a load of dollar marks. In
Wright county he has become sud
denly militant, stern, demanding.
He has accomplished all this by
revolt and revolt that has in it a
dash of finality, concerned with re-
suits and results only He has CEN
tered his attack on the Wright
county board but thif is only an
outward show. His attack is direct
ed equally against taxation as ad-
ministered by all governing bodies.
The revolt began last Tuesday
when nearly 5000 taxpayers gath
cred outside the Wright county
specific demands. 1t was a gather
ing that has had few equals in the
county. 1t resulted in a new county
tax association, a set Of resolutions,
and the release of a lot of pent-up
feeling about taxes in general.
Largest Crowd Since War
For several days this vigilance
committee drove from farm house
to farm house. In fields and barns
they came across farmers and thea,
warning was not concerning English
troops but about taxes.
There's a meeting Tuesday morn
ing" they shouted. BE there!"
The meeting Of the Wright county
board was scheduled for a uG
Tuesday. By $3.50 a m. the corri-
doris Of the court house were filled.
By nine o'clock the meeting was
$3.50 a m the largest chowd to as
shifted to the courthouse lawn. BY
semblie in Buffalo since the war
was on hand, ready to do battle
with taxation.
The crowd was orderly enough
but there was beneath its jestlng
and its shouts an ominous threat.
Farmers who dropped their tools
that morning to drive 25 miles to
the meeting stood for three hours
the duration Of the meeting-ask-
ing that public expenditures be cut
down in proportion to their decreas-
ed income. The farmers of Wright
county. who for 25 years have
scarcely known the meaning Of crop
failure. were concerned with tax
levies. public revenue and public ex-
pense.

WHAT DOES HE KNOW OF IT?

HENRY FORD SAYS that "the present depres-
III sion is a wholesome thing, in general" How
does Henry know, He has not experienced any
thing which even an ordinary millionaire would
call depression His net profits in 1880 were we'll
above S3O,0OOOOO; his gains even in the present
year quite probably would feed the unemployed
of Detroit through the winter, and leave him
fair competence besides. What does he know
about depression anyway?
If he had to stand in a breadline for cup
of coffee and ticket to "flop"; if he saw his
babies sickening for lack of milk, he might know
something about the subject. At present, he is
just SNUG, Sinking ignOramus, making light of
ills he never has felt.
