LOUP CITY, Nebr.-Fred
Rasmussen who had en-
ployed a lawyer several
months ago to defend him
against the mortgage sharks
put the lawyer on the witness
stand last week and acted as
his own lawyer before a
crowded courtroom of farm
ers and workers.
By Farmer Correspondent
The lawyer claimed SIS fee
for a half days work. Mr.. Ras-
mussen would be compelled to sell
out all his farm machinery and
corn if he had to pay the whole
fee and he refused to do this. Mr..
Rasmussen was refused a jury
trial.
After the case was over, the
judge made a talk, saying that
most of the debts can never be
paid, and his sympathies were all
with the farmers. But in this case
he would have to do according to
the law and give judgment to
the lawyer as Rasmussen had al

Dear Editor:
Hugh S. johnson, in recent
radio talks stated that the MIRA
had already accomplished 25 per
cent of what it was supposed to
accomplish and that he considered
it the seventh wonder of the
world.
If no discriminating rules had
been set up against certain class
of the farmers almost 100 per cent
of them would have been put to
forced labor, or so-called Civil
Works, since the inauguration of
the NRA. To accomplish so much
in such a short time must indeed
be considered as the Seventh won
der of the world and one naturally
wonders what viii happen to the
tillers Of the soil when the pro-
gram is finally completed.
If the MIRA has done such
wonders for the city workers as
is claimed they must be eating

electric refrigerators, etc., as their

rising to 1925 per hundredweight
by March 1. Moreover local ex-
penses of administering the corn
hog program will be deducted
from the payments due the hog
producers.
The contract which the tanners
must sign is nothing to be smiled
at. It has a multitude of shady
clauses which are likely to trip
any honest farmer lit takes a
crooked lawyer or a county agent
to really understand the language
of these contracts).
In the first place, the farmer
must agree to reduce his corn
acreage from 20 to 80 percent be-
low his average for 1928.
NOAupA1CdUcu business
He will be paid 80 cents per
bushel on the average yield of the
acres he takes out of production.
In this case, the average is figured
on his production per acre over a
period of the past five years.
The farmer must agree to re-
duce in 1884 the number of litters
narrowed by his hogs by 25 per
cent below his average for the
past two years. He must reduce
the number of hogs produced for
market by the same percentage.
He must not increase the number
of feeder pigs bought during the
past years.
He will be paid S. per head on
70 per cent Of the average Num-
Der of hogs taken to market each
year for the past two years.
The payments will not be made
all at once. On the corn reduc-
ton, the farmer gets is cents
when the contract is accepted and
10 cents, minus local adrninistra.
tive expenses, after November.
1884. It was at first announced
that the farmer would receive 20
cents now and. ten cents in No.
vember, but the government was
afraid that the administrative ex-
penses might come to more than
10 cents, which would leave the
Dept. of Agriculture in the red.
The hog payments will be made
as follows: So when the contract
is accepted, 81 in Nov, 1884, and
81 (minus expenses) about Feb.
1885, after a check-up has been
made.
The farmer who signs the corn
hog contract agrees also not to
increase his acreage in cotton.
wheat, rice, tobacco, livestock or
dairy products. or feed crops
other than hay. The land must lie
idle or else be planted to perma-
nent pasture or woodlot.
At the same time, the farmer
must agree to permit entry at
any time by government agents
or committeeman, to count his pigs
and measure his acres, look at his
books, or do whatever else their
stool-pigeon duties require.

the story of government destruc.

Hold on, Judge
The farmers insisted that the
Judge remain for Holiday meet
ing in the courtroom. Harry Nc
Donald, chairman Of the Sherman
county Holiday took the floor and
told the Judge that this was not
justice and that there was no JUS
ice in any capitalist court for the
workers and farmers. Also, he
said, the Holiday did not want
him or any one else to try to
split up the ranks Of the farmers
by their differences in religion as
he tried to do in this case
The Judge had been talking
about Outside leaders" and said
that the farmers would have to be
very careful about them. McDon-
aid told him that the leadership
came from the farmers themselves.
However, we do not consider any,
one an outsider so long as they
are trying to build rank and file
organizations, but we would help
to keep the organizer moving
from coast to coast. This was
accepted with much applause from
the farmers. ~

Someone called on Roy Miller
to talk. Miller then took the floor
with the sheriff on one side Of
him and deputy sheriff. on the
other. He pointed out that farm
ers and workers would never. get
any justice in capitalist court
until they build an organization
strong enough to force justice.

Dressed in Rags, But
She Carries a Bottle

Observation-Disclosures in almost
rags, an elderly woman trudged about
the streets of Breckenridge last week,
begging all she came into contact
with to give her "something," if only
enough to get bite to eat. From
one store to another, and stopping
each pedestrian, she told her story of
tragedy in the family, of being de-
serted and alone in the world, and
how the pains of hunger were tortur-
ing her. She even invaded the liquor
store, begging the men there to help
her distress. An hour later a car
chugged up to the curb in front of
the liquor store, containing the wo-
man and three men. The woman got
out and returned soon carrying bot
tie of whiskey. She pulled the cork and
took man-sized drink, handing the
bottle to the men and nonchalantly
rolling a cigaret. If those who had
donated to the little party could have
made their voices carry to her ear,
she never would have set herself up
as lady again!
