Why The Farm Strike?
Several Reasons Why the
Farmer Feels For Strike"
and Several More Why He
Can't Lose

murderously quiet about the
seething discomfort among our
80 million American farmers
and only within the last few
days have they even carried a
news item indicating anything
except lamb-like docility among
our rural brethren. As a mat
ter Of fact, these agrarians have
been pictured as being more
than satisfied with the sops Of
fered them prior to and imme-
diately following last Fourth Of
March.
That the republican brand
Of farm relief" was a nause-
ating nostrum no one denies,
least of all the farmer and that
the democratic dose is less nau-
seating not even a farmer will
admit.
The republican party sought
to placate the sod buster by adj
ding half a billion dollars to
the public debt with the usual
percentage Of pap and the ordi-
nary m n Err un Of interest
charges) and from this gigan-
tic dish, infnitesimal portions
were served out to the pauper-
lied agriculturalists. They were
permitted to borrow small
sums for seed grain and feed
purposes, all with rates Of in
terest attached - rates higher
than any bank could pay and
remain solvent.
Last November the farmers
registered their hearty disgust
with republican attempts at
(" farm relief" by electing a
democratic president, ate
and congress. They even called
off their holiday" strikes and
sat back and waited. They .ex-
pected a genuine farm relief
but instead they received the
republican nostrum under a
different label.
The democrats, instead Of as
sembling a neat pile Of half a
billion dollars as the republi-
cans did, Immediately piled up
several heaps Of bone cur
rency which at once began &C
cumulating interest to the sat-
isfaction of the bankers. A
''new deal" under which
southern farmers were to pillow
under a stated percentage Of
their crop was inaugurated.
Many a mule went nuts trying
to unlearn his lesson of walking
between the cotton rows in
stead of on them. No one knows
exactly how many cotton farm
ers were paid their "cotton
bonus" but every one in the
United States knows that the
price of cotton goods advanced
to several times the cost Of the
cotton bonus.
The wheat farmers of the
north were assured of "new
deal" if they would agree to
curtail their next years wheat
crop, but before they could
agree to agree, "process tax"
went on all wheat-food prod
ucts, on every bite of bread or
cereal placed between the lips

gle of panied dismay. What he
saw was plenty.
The playful youths had half
truck load Of sledge hammers,
drills, small hammers and me-
dunn hammers, hack saws,
punches, neat little goose gun
with a fourteen inch set of bar
rels and a bottle or two Of what
Maurice suspected was a poor
brand of moon Ticker.
There's a widespread sus-
picion that sledge hammers,
hack saws, shot guns and

language. The famous Maurice
smile faded. Down to the bas-
tile he herds the boys.
They were indignant as well
as booked. They explained that
they had no intention of "going
to work" in our village-pos-
sibly because there was so lit
tie currency left in circulation
after two years of blue nose
rule that any attempt to locate
enough to pay for a drilling job
would be love s labor lost. They
insisted that they were on their
way to greener fields enroute,
as it were to better banks. They
gave their listeners the impress
sion that they were on their
way to either Moorhead or
Morris where they had been in
formed a vault lock on a musk
rat house required blasting.
And, like "Sister" Aimee.
that is their story and they
stuck to it,
The bottle Of moon? 1t was
not moonshine liquor at all at
all. 1t was liquid angel-maker.
There was enough nitroglycer-
Inc in those bottles to have
made Hennepin avenue look
like Mt. Vesuvius after the old
volcano had experienced bad
cough. If something had
rammed the young chaps fiv-
yer, Hennepin avenue debris
would be falling from the
clouds three months after next
Christmas.
See the joke? Neither can

too serious minded, those chaps.

GOLF BALLS
and GARBAGE

most anyInlng during CneSe nee
tic times and especially along
the garbage line. For years we
have had a hit-and-miss system
of garbage collection. Some
weeks the can would hold the
entire blocks melon rinds,
spud hides, salad ends and
other table scraps" not be-
cause the residents had sud-
denly become acutely frugal
but because the can-collectors
punched up and swooped down
the alley in droves. Then the
drove would move on and the
only way one could leave home
via the ten-foot alley would be
by the fire escape and a long
distance leap over the garbage
pile. We had money in our mu-
nicipal treasury then-we have
not now. Why, we've scarcely
enough left to build a fence
around golf coarse
We are told that there s
barely enough garbage curren-
cy left to continue operation on
the skip-stop plan in vogue for
the last six months and in the
same breath we are informed
that golf balls must be protec-
ted if garbage cans overflow
into the street and residents
move to the country.
1t appears that golf pellets
have an annoying habit Of ig-
noring niblick directions and
go scooting across lots and
snuggle down in dimples in old
Mother Earth's ample bosom
where only small boys with fer
ret eyes and mongrel houn s
with mad intent can find them
When the tee-laddies discov-
cred small urchin and a wild
eyed purp absconding with
their set of rubber pellets, they
set up a howl the city council
couldn't tune out. They de-
mand d something be done
about golf ball kidnappers.
Master minds struggled with
the problem for two long hours
and then decided that the only
way to save the city's golfers
from total collapse was to erect
a ball, kid and dog proof fence
high enough to keep the birds
out and close-woven enough to
shed a ball, all around the
southern section of the city's
suburban Limit. The vote was
unanimous. As result a twelve
thousand, four hundred dollar
fence will shortly obstruct the
hayward flight of any ball and
defy the ingenuity of urchin
and dawg.
But the city's garbage? Poof

fret about for: When the farm

bread will be less common on

much less, believe it or not. And
80 million farmers, once agreed,
are food for thought.
Saturday Press would like to
know why, if the government
can print interest bearing
bonds and sell them to bank
ers to later receive the bonds
through the Federal Reserve
system and print currency for
the bankers on the strength of
the bonds, the government
could not print non-interest
bearing bonds, turn them over
to another government agency
and print currency on the
strength of the bonds. We can

go through bankers NIT to

MERCHANTS WIN in
SALES TAX BATTLE
(COntinued from page one)

dale, who have fought for the
mandatory provision, attempted
to wipe away all opposition 10 the
proposal several days ago by try
ing to get an expression from Mr..
DoWell that the merchants would
not contest the sales tax. How
ever, Mr.. DowelI reported back
that while he was without author
i.y to give them definite assur-
ance that the revenue act will not
be contested. it was his opinion
that if the merchants were pro-
tected by the passage of a manda-
tory feature the probabilities
were that the act would not be
taken to the courts.
A mandatory provision to pass
the sales tax on to the consumer
was contained in the revenue bill
as it passed both houses. But
when the bill was sent to confer
ence. the conference committee
struck out the mandatory feature,
which makes it a misdemeanor
for any merchant to absorb a
part of the tax. The conferees'
reason for taking this action was
that the mandatory provision
might be a ground on which the
merchants could contest the bill.
They rewrote a new section into
the bill declaring it to be the in
tent of the bill that the merchants
should pass the sales tax on, but
leaving it to the merchants to
work out some uniform system
among themselves.
"The merchants Of North Caro-
lima recognize the needs Of the
state as much as any other class
Of our citizenship" Dowell wrote
in his letter to Senators Hinsdale
and Waynick. "They are as loyal
and patriotic as any group Of our
people. They have no desire to
retard the efficient operation of
any law, but they do resent being
singled out as the major tax bear
ers of the state at q time when
they are finding it extremely diff
fcult to remain in business.
eff they can be protected in
the matter of passing on the sales
tax they will, in all probability,
graciouSly accept the law and en-
deavor to cooperate in making it
. success. But without such pro-
lection, I am sure no one can
blame them for contesting an act
that imposes an additional tax
burden of S9,OOO,OOO upon them,
especially since the principle of a
general sales tax has never been
sustained by the courts in this
country"
