DOLIN is RAMBLING
By HANS RASMUSSEN


You are all wrong, Joe. The
"Dagmar Farmer article about
you was not written in the Pro-
ducers News office, neither had
any of the staff anything to do
with it, so you are losing your bet.
The article was written by a real
Dagmar dirt farmer. Last week
we printed another article written
by another Dagmar Farmer. In
order to keep you from doing any
more betting, we might as well
inform you that this last one is al
so an honest-to-goodness farmer,
but he is not the same as the first
one.
The Dagmar farmers are doing
some real thinking, saving their
land is the problem before them,
and they know you are not goine
to help them do it. They are get
ting sick of you and your county
graft, sick of the county agent
and his feed committees, and they
are not afraid to come out and
say so.
When ! mentioned in my article
about the taxpayers suit that prob
ably would be started against YOU
for overcharging the county a
thousand dollars on your county
printing, did not write that in
order to be funny. / wrote it be-
cause ! knew what / was talking
about. knew that the Taxpayers
Association had talked it over
with a lawyer and had been adj
vised they had a very good case.
But if were you, Joe, l would
not worry too much about it. 1t is
my opinion that what is left of
the Taxpayers Association is not
going to do you any harm. It is a
safe bet that you will get away
with the thousand. Very likely
Edgar Syverud, when he starts
writing his editorials for the Her
aid, will tell you some more about
it. He is the Secretary of the
Taxpayers Association.
In your article you also say:
"The Dagmar Farmer. had better
investigate the former Producers
News printing contract before he
points out any illegal Irregular
ties in ours" Now you want to
fool the people again, Joe. You
know well enough that the Produc-
ers News claim along with yours
were sent to Helena, or wherever
it was, by the Taxpayers Associa-
tion, for some experts to look ov-
er, and yours were the only ones
they found any fault with.
You are again mistaken when
you say that your political make
up is worrying the Producers
News gang, as you call it. We
only pity those who will have to
straighten up the mess that your
gang of political highbinders has
brought the country and county
into. But we are not worried al
all over the outcome.
When you are accusing the Pro-
ducers News gang of having
"fleeced the farmers to the last
Nickel" let me call your attention
to the old man Jorgensen's case in
Dagmar. After paying back ST.
$4,000, he still owes $2,700.O0 on
the principal of 100000 borrow
ed. That's your gangs doings
That's the gang that you are stick
ling up for.
This is not the only case. Prac.
tically every farmer in the land is
up against the same, or worse
situation. Here it is not a ques-
ton of nickels: it is wholesale
scheming and robbery, the likes OF
which the world has never seer
before. 1t is robbing and taking
away from the farmers every
thing he ever had. The gang that
is doing this is the gang you be.
long to, the gang you have always
stuck up for, your Gang, and moi
the Producers News "Gang."
Saving the country, as you have
been advocating lately, sounds
very nice, but you can not keep OF
lfooling the farmers. They know
well enough you never did give 9
darn for the farmers. All you are
after is the next printing contract
and chance to get in and rob the
county some more.
