SUPREME COURE CHALLENGES

SUPREME COURE CHALLENGES - - -. -
The time has come the capitalists have decided to talk
to the workers and farmers sharper language than dur
ing the past years. The decisions of the Supreme Court
on the NRA and the FrazierLemke Bankruptcy Act are
the first of the slave march the capitalists have
impoverished farmers
Speaking through the mouth of the liberal" Judge
Brandes the Supreme Court has declared that property
rights come before human rights They have said that Sc
curing the farmer in the possession his farm and home
is unconstitutional il ntereres with the sacred right of
the bankers the landlords the rich farmers and the nsur
ance companies to collect their pound of flesh
In unanimous voice the nine dodderng old oraces have
declared that the constitution is violated if the working peo-
pie on the farms are given degree of security That
what Wall Street has always said 1t is by that principle
That Wall Street has plundered us.
Our farms means of existence Our farm homes
are our only shelter The Supreme Court has decreed it I'm
lor us 70 keep our homes and our FARMS
sneter ana our means OF making living if the golden
call should lose SO much as penny of its tribute.
Last year when drOuth and scared the fields and
pastures the AAA carried through the attack by DESTROYING

the mortgage holders Not only the farms but the very
crops themselves These mortgage holders stretch out their
crops. 'o'-
At their command the Supreme Court has blessed the
ranks OF collectors, shefs deputies and their like It has
declared their war on the farmers to be holy wara con-
Stitutonal one. va
The decision is challenge every working farmer that
cannot be sdestppe for threatens each and evey one
OF US with living conditions and laws violent hands
on what little security we still possess.
What answer have Messrs Frazier and Lemke to this
chaenge! Their answer is to intensity the campaign for
their refnancng bill this is no answer to the eHno
