IS 1t Reno's Holiday

Milo Reno set his foot down on the Sioux Falls confer
ence at "his'' Des MONIES Holiday convention.
The farmers thought it ought to be their conference
and the way accept the report from Sioux Falls
Reno said otherwise and chOked all discussion the
report.
Reno spending awful lot of time getting unity
between such people Huey Long, Father Coughln Gen
eral Johnson and others
He showed that the unity of the masses of farmers
is not very close to his heart
The Holiday farmers still make the Sioux Falls pro-
gram reality. The can still force Reno to listen to the
voices of thousands of farmers.
That can be done by their support of the Unity
Program.
That can be done in the reliance in their own united
strength and not any particular seapponted savior

on the AAA. It is even worse
than the AAA because it calls for
a complete shutdown. The farm
ers who are now barely skipping
sNong will be asked to get along
with no income at all every third
or second year.
An investigation by Sender Gar
lin, crack reporter of the Daily
Worker, proved to the handle-end
that Huey Long is no friend of
the farmer, of the working man,
of the masses of the people Of
louisiana.
Labor Record
What is Huey Longs labor re-
cord in louisiana? Working men
doing construction work in Lousi-
ana have been paid 10 cents an
hour. When union men protested
against the low wages and asked
for the prevailing wage rate,
Huey Long answered: "The pre-
vailing wage in this state is the
lowest wage we can get men to
work for Huey Longs legisla-
ture which he bosses like a car
has defeated the 8-hour bill fol-
women. It has smashed the child
labor amendment which would pro-
hibit children knee-high to a grass
hopper from working for a few
cents a day. Long defeated the
full crew bill on railroads which
would prevent rail accidents. AS
a result, the trade union move
ment of louisiana is at the low
est ebb in 20 years. There are
less than 5000 trade union mer
out of a population of two mil
lion. Huey Long has stated that
he "can't get messed up with the
job of strengthening organized la
Dor in his own state.
Huey's Moratorium
Long prides himself on the fact
that there is a moratorium on fore
/ closures in Louisiana. J. S. Brock
is the moratorium car. He ha,
life and death control over the
situation. Are the farmers better
off than they we're two years age
before the moratorium was de
clared? No, they are worse off
Two years ago the Land Banks
and the other big creditors fore
closed on very few farms. Toda!
Brock sits in his soft chair help
ing the rich farmers and banks b!
seeing to it that whatever few
cents poor farmer has is dui
foreclosure settlement under tn
terms of the moratorium.
Well, whose friend is Long
Long is the friend of the rich
Long had a scrap with the Stand
ard Oil company over a question
of taxes. He has finally settle,
the fight. His tax of five cents
barrel has been lowered to on
cent a barrel. Long is too cleve
a man to have shares in the Stan
dard Oil company. But his goo,
friend, Oscar K. Allen, governo
of louisiana, owns Standard Oh
shares. Long went further. H
helped the Standard Oil meet thi
one cent tax by ordering the ia
assessors in Baton Rouge wher
the Standard Oil has it's large re
fineries, to reduce the Standar
OiPs tax civilizations.

is Jules T. Fisher who control

who employs thousands of won

up for their shortcomings. And
they did it by making a thorough
study of healthful living.
The principal of that school told
me that every pupil knew and OBJ

Smoking was taboo. Dances and
parties were shortened, more study
was done at school, and the radio

His program calls for cutting
down the big fortunes. 1t pro-
vides a tax on the second million
of every fortune and going up I'M
til there is a tax of 100 per cent
on anything over a fortune of nine
million. This is to bring all pri-
vate wealth down to a level Of
three or four million dollars.
Any person getting more than
a million in income during a year
will have everything over that
taken away from him. The money
that the government gets in this
way will be used for the good of
the people, according to Mr.. Long.
He figures on furnishing work
for everyone by cutting down on
the number Of hours each one may
work to about 80 a week. This
would spread the work that is to
be had and more could have jobs.
T He also has a farm plank but
will discuss that later.
We have to look at Longs plan
just as we looked at the Town
send plan and find out what there
is in it for the farmers and work
erS.
Incomes Untouched
We wonder why Mr.. Long re-
fuses to touch anything under a
million dollars income? Or for
tunes under three or four? If he
really intended to cut fortunes and
make the rich pay for the needs
of the country, he would not make
these limits. With those limits he
leaves the biggest bulk of the big
incomes and fortunes practically
untouched. On an income of a
million and a half there is prac-
tically no difference between what
Long proposes to take and what is
taken now in income taxes.
Most of the big incomes run be-
low the million figure. Right now
there are income taxes on these
incomes but Long would leave them
untouched.
Even if they did run over Z
million, there are thousand ways
and means of getting around it
Double books for bookkeeping, div
iding the income between members
of the family, etc.
On top of that, most of the
wealth of the country is stuck into
the corporations, stocks, equipment
and reserve funds. Mr.. Long does
not say a word about that. I'm
less he tackles them, his program
won't amount to a thing.
Won't Touch Corporations
If he was sincere about the cut.
ting down business, he would alsC
go after the cor orations. Tha
would mean actually taking ovel
the biggest part of the U. S. Steel
Henry Ford, General Motors, etc.
etc. That would be turning the
capitalist system upside down.
Has he got that in mind? Ii

islature last week he said this:

By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them

Longs legislature defeated the g.
hour law for women.
Huey Long is very shrewd pol
itician. That is one reason why
he has been able to make such a
wide public appeal. He makes
promises but managse not to keep
them. He has promised tax ex-
emptions to the small man to a
maximum of $4,000. He hasn't
kept this promise. He has told the
people in louisiana that as soon as
money from other sources comes
in, he'll have this tax exemption
put into effect.
Long has lowered the cost of
car licenses for farmers. But at
the same time the gas tax in
Louisiana is 7 cents a gallon.
What good does the license do
when the farmers can't buy gas :?
Long has given the children Of
Louisiana free school books. But
the children can't go to school be-
cause there are few buses, they
aren't properly fed and clothed.
Teachers wages have been cut
from sos a month to $45 a month
among the Negroes. Seldom do
you find a Negro school with in
side toilet.
Negroes Suffer
The average school expenditure
for a white child is $45 a year;
for a Negro child it is 81. This
is one of the lowest expenditures
in the whole countryside, yet Long
has built himself $5,500,000 cap
itol building in Baton Rouge.

the people of the United States ?
Doesn't this investigation show
that here we have true friend
of the bankers, rich farmers and
all the other enemies of the peo-
pie of our country? Doesn't this
show that he is, in the words OF
Lem Harris of the Farmers Ma
tional Committee for Action, "Hu
ey Hitler?"
Long is preparing to follow il
Hitler's steps:
1. He has bodyguard of gang
sters to protect him. He doesn'
hesitate to use the militia against
all people who honestly oppose
him.
2. The state legislature is the
cue-ball he uses to pocket money
for himself and for. the STANDARD
Oil company and for the big cap
italists.
8. He is depriving the people o.
his state of their civil liberties.
a. He is opposed to union wage
and to labor organization.
5. He voted Roosevelt in. Hi

Where the grass is soft and there's blooming trees
Where there is honey but no bees;
Where there's pleasant lanes on either hand
These are the pleasures of Impossible Land
Where there's numberless toys and things to eat;
Where there's bushels of nuts and candy sweet;
Where you go to the fair to hear the band
This is the way to Impossible Land.
Where you go in swimming when the waters churn;
Where you never have lessons to learn;
Where arithmetic not in your brain is canned
This is the habit of Impossible Land.
Where it never is winter and yet there is ice;
Where there are no gophers, minks, rats or mice;
Where all are good sports-and go hand in hand
