n nav taxes to any local govern
ment having this stuff in its pos
session.
vii. WE DEMAND that the law |
enforcement officers enforce the
moratorium law. If the lawfully
constituted authorities fail in this,
we pIedge ourselves to enforce this
moratorium law, by our united ac-
tiOo and eviction and dispOssessiOn
nv united action
VIII. WE DEMAND that roads
be maintained and not allowed to
fall i'm a state Of unrepair. Funds
for this shall be raised by taxing
corporations, banks and wealthy
individuals.
TX. WE DEMAND that our
children shall receive adequate
schooling, and that the country
schools attended by our children
shall not be closed or crippled. WE
DEMAND that funds for this nee
cessary schooling be raised by tax
ing corporations, banks and veal
thy individuals.
X. Many farmers lack clothing
and food for their families. Many
lack feed for their stock or fuel
for their tractors, essential to pro-
dUcing a crop and making living.
| For these farmers WE DEMAND
cash relief. The relief to be distri-
buted by strictly dirt farmers.
XI. Unemployment is deplOrably
high among farm labOrers. Ever
those that are employed receive
miserably low wages, because farm
ers who employ them cannot afford
to pay more until prices are high
er. We pledge to them our sOlidar
ity in a joint fight for better anC
higher wages. WE DEMAND fol
the unemployed farm workers un
employment insurance, TO be paiC
out of a levy on large incomes ant
corporate profits.
XII. In our fight for higher prize

RESOLVED that increased price
to the farmers must come, nc
from increased prices to city cor
sumers but from the profit of til

arrested, prosecuted and jailed f

cOgnize our joint responsibility
defending and freeing this broth
farmer. WE DEMAND for eve
farmer the full measure of CT
rights, freedom of speech, freedt
of press, and the right of assent
guaranteed by the constitution
the United States and the State
Montana. WE DEMAND that I
courts of this state uphold the
several rights rather than infrir
upon and violate them as they h.
inseveral recent instances in tn
zeal to serve Wal Street in
drive against the farmers a
workers.
XIV. Realizing that we cannot
pect better prices until the 40
600 city workers now unemplOy
are returned to jobs, and III
those that are employed rece
better pay, we pledge our sOlidaI
to the working class. We supp
them in their fight for better W

labor. We invite their assista
in our struggles and we pledge
N help, in the way of food from
