Riots and Farm Problems

Riots ana Fdrm PrODlemS
VVIHAT prompted $50 Iowa farmers to mask drag
M Judge from his court room, threaten him with
" death if he did not take oath to break his
oath of office in regard to mortgage foreclosure papers,
beat him, him with grease and dirt, hang him
by the neck from pole until he collapsed and then
stink away he knet and asked God to treat all men
justly.
Every resort city in California has colony of
retired Iowa farmers who made tidy fortunes raising
Grade and hogs in years prior to the depres-
son Most of them had setbacks undoubtedly some OF
them lost their farms at time during their
and had to start all If any of them ever
beat elderly judge until he was near death, we'll
bet they are mighty ashamed of the fact
few years ago Iowa farms sold for $3.50, $500
and per Interest such transaction is
$50 per more to say nothing of the principal
taxes and cost of farming. Perhaps in the best Of
years such assignment could be kept but certainly
the buyer forgot to average up the years and figure
out what the land really was worth and how he could
pay for it.
Like many business man, these invested
fooshly. They suffered setbacks and losing their
property. But does this justify violence the part
of either the merchant farmer Is any judge to be
blamed, any state any nation for that matter?
We not out of sympathy with the farmers
problem. We do not condone governmental policies
which had much to do with bringing this crisis
and making it impossible for farmer business
to make more than living if that property which
is clear of mortgages But do condemn the attitude
of groups who resort to violence.
While this deed done, congress placing
the finishing touches on farm bill designed to
rect the inustices faced by rural communities Iowa,
like most other state governments, made honest at
tempt to help. Almost every community has done all
possible practical lift the burden created by
the desires of its citizens.
But government perform miracles. A
poor bargain cannot be made good by legisla-
ton Mortgage TERMS the foundation of rural credit
might be set aside if sufficient pressure brought
but it would be short-sighted action Where would
rural credit be obtained in the future?
Probably poor leadership is the answer to first
question Iowa farmers have listened to "reds" in the
last year. They have to imagine that they alone
feeling the weight of the depression. Instead of
following course in attempting to find the way
OUT they have made their neighbors organized
what amount to outlaw bands and put their in
bad light. We have very few such fellows in Red
wood county where things have been peaceful in spite
of troubles Every of sober, thinking
farmers has contributed toward recovery than
all the demonstrations soap box orators and rioters of
a few misguided communities.

Attorney Ford's next move was to ask

Whereas Gen. Sherman's kin waited
10 years to return two pigs to the
family Of rebel victim of the Yankee
march through Georgia, there came to
light here today the story of Union
officer whose chivalry led him to return
pet pig to a Fairfax County girl

incidentally, shocked her family some
years later by marrying a Northerner

depend on what mother told me. Our
home was several miles from the court
house, where Yankee troops were en-
camped.
"A company Of Union soldiers came
to our farm and began taking whatever
they pleased-stock, vegetables and the
like They rounded up the pigs and
carried them. squealing, away, much
to the distress of sister Nettie. They
had taken her pet pig and she was
heartbroken.
"Nettie carried on so that mother
finally told one of the slaves to take
Nettie over to the camp and see if the
soldiers wouldn't give the pet pig back.
The two were met by sentries, who took
Nettie and the servant before the COM
mander Nettie between sobs. told
about the theft Of her pig and pleaded
for its return.
THE Yankee officer, evidently
touched by the child's grief, asked
Nettie if she could point out the SOL
dier who had taken her pig. She said
she could So the officer lined the raid
ing company up in front of Nettie and
she quickly picked out one of the SOL
diers as the guilty one.

the pig post-haste. The soldier saluted.
