kick the whole works over by re-
fusing to accept the concilliator's
plan of settlement, provides that
the poor farmer must pay 1 per
cent interest, installments on prin-
cipal and the taxes under the pur-
chase plan of the bill and rental
under the moratorium feature when
ne can't pay anything at all.

"Some people. who have paid too
much attention to the lies of thr
enemies of the farmers and work

fighting way, the violent way, ant
when they hear one speak of thu
revolutionary way they think o.
gas and guns and grief and groan
and bullets and bombs and bayon
