FARM BOARD AND
''PROGRES SIVES"
DECEIVE FARMERS

Speaking before the senate COM
mittee on agriculture, Paul Bestor,
Farm Loan Commissioner and a
member of the Federal Farm
Board, declared that the Frazier
bill for the refinacning of the
farmers debts at one and one-half
per cent interest and one and one
half per cent amortization annual.
ly, was "unsound". The Frazier
bill has been the chief talking
point of the "progressives" In
their attempts to mislead the farm
masses. Bestor's answer will pro-
vide them with the material fol
a continuation of their demagogiC
speeches in congress and thruout
the capitalist press. The purpose
of these speeches, like that of the
bill, will be to keep the farm
masses looking expectantly toward
congress for relief.
BeStor stated that the bill, If L
became a law, would destroy" tht
Farm Loan System" This is thu
system by which the farm masses
of the entire country are robbed
of hundreds of millions in interes
annually for the benefit of thu
Land Bank bond holders. Thii
is the system which Frazier anC
other "progressives" are trying Il
save by diverting tire discomfort o.
the masses into support of thi
bill, by preventing them from get
ting lower interest rates and take
thru the strike method-refusal t,

mands.

City," In spite of the fact that
these huge New York banks do
not directly control the banking
resources of the entire country
they do so indirectly. The Rural
Credits Bureau of Minnesota, now
being run for the benefit of the
capitalist class by Governor Olson
and his appointees, is just as much
part of che capitalist plumber
system as the Chase National

Wall Street bank. 1t evicts desti-
tute farmers from their farms just

Street for the benefit of the state

He warned that "this brand of

Governor Olson of Minnesota,
speaking before the annual confer
ence of governors On April q at
Richmond, Va.,, again delivered
himself of the demagogic statement
that capitalism was on the verge
of collapse. Just as his speech at
the Farmer-Labor convention in
st. Paul, however, this speech was
designed to convince the workers
and farmers turnout the country
that capitalism can be saved by
manipulation with the banking
system.
Olson started cut by telling how
the Federal Reserve Board forced
thru its deflation policy in 1920 a.
the command of the Wall Street
bankers. He used this as an argu-
ment against the Capitalization of
all banks turnout the country I'M
der the supervision of the FEEDER
al Reserve Board.
''By combining our banking to
federally supervised banks."- he
said, 'sthe inevitable result wOnld
be the Capitalization of financial
power and control of credit in
chain banking institutions, which
Capitalization and control would
gradually concentrate in smaller
and smaller groups until Oul
whole credit system would be
controlled by the large central
banks of New York City. This
could easily be accomplished be-
cause federaIly controlled banks

SLEEP SICKNESS

Pittsburgh ( UP) - Encepha- litis lethargica-comm known as sleeping sickness" the death of at least 22 persons in Pittsburgh n1931, it was revealed here recently.
 The prevalence of the compara- lively rare, and apparently incur able, disease, was revealed by Dr c. B. Maits, Pittsburgh director of health, after the 11-year search of a Pittsburgh man for a cure was disclosed.
 The Pittsburgh resident, who does not wish his name revealed, has spent a fortune in an effort to find cure for the disease with which ihs sister is afflicted. AL though he has answers to his in quiries from all parts of the world, he has found no one with cure.
 It has been estimated there are about 40-new cases of the disease in the United States each year. In 1921 the highest number of new cases reported in the United States in any one year was reached - 1922.
 Some physicians believe there may be some relation between the the appearance and growth of the two together in many instances.
 Dr Maits said he knew of mo cure at the present time for this ailment and influenza, because of disease"

BLACK THURSDAY IN TENNESSEE
 UNDER FIRE
GubernatOriaI Candidates Take Fight to State
 Primary Board

Memphis. - Tenncssee's "Black Thursday" bitter democratic prim- ary has developed into a more acrimonious election contest as two men claim the democratic guberna- torial nomination.
 A sordid picture of alleged fraud, herding of negroes to polls and other purported Irregularities is to be unfoided before the demo- cratic state primary board at Nash vile, tomorrow.
 Z The supporters of Lewis s. Pope will demand that he be given the democratic nomination on -the grounds that the apparent lead of 10, ,000.votes that Hill McAlister has for the nomination was obtained by fraud, especially here, where 1t is charged 33,500 negroes were registered to vote illegally in the primary.
 It was here and in Shelby county that McAlister, state treasurer. supported by Congress- man Ed Crump's political ma chine. rolled up a plurality of 30,000 votes that meant victory as Pope's outstate lead was wiped out.
 But Pope's supporters charge SC many negroes-who, they claim are republicans rather than dem ocrats - voted in the primary that the primary of August 4 has been branded Black Thursday" in Shelby county.
 Congressman Crump admitted that perhaps some negroes may have voted, but he saw nothing alarming about that. Pope's friends charge it was .Crump's political machine that herded these negroes to the polls in Mem phis so that his candidate, Me- Alister, might win.
 Afiidavit Charges
 Afffdavits have been made charging that at one precinct, negroes were paid a dollar as they presented their poll tax receipts, then told how to vote. Negroes be- ing driven to the polls by the are pictured in other aff1davits.
 The alleged voting of negroes was done despite the fact that the democratic. state primary board warned that negroes were not Known democrats" and wholesale voting of them would be prima facie evidence of fraud.
