Dagmar, Montana.
January IL, 1886.

January In 1896.
It is election year, the political
pot in Sheridan county has al
ready began to simmer. At last
the Communists realize that they
can't force their political doctrines
down the thoats of the people.
And the combine Republican
Democrat Party is looked on by
many as the Office-seekers par
.ty. So no wonder that the people
are talking about a Farmer-Labor
Party in Sheridan, advocating
progressive and practical legisla-
ton. To that end, l propose to
give an outline in the following
platform.
INTEREST
Agriculture is the backbone Of
our Country. In spit Of the triple
A and other New Deals, the far
mers broke. The chief cause Of
this deplorable condition is IN
TEREST. Farmers and workers
alike find themselves today in a
hopeless debt Of back, unpaid com
pound interest, and foreclosure and
bankruptcy will ultimately be
the end, If a solution is not found.
The Frazier-Lemke Refinanc-
ing Bill offers the solution. In
stead Of paying S to 8 percent
(the present rate Of interest) it
provides that farmers can borrow
up to the appraised valuation Of
his land, plus one half the value
Of insured improvement at ~
per cent interest.
Such q law will not only enable
the farmers to keep and save their
farms, but make it possible for
renters and young folks TO get q
farm or home Of their own.
BANKING
Save the Constitution, is the
cry today, Of a certain small
group. But they believe at the
same time in the justice Of the
Federal Reserve Banking system,
together with the private coinage
and regulation Of money, when
the Constitution plainly states
that Congress shall have the pow
er to coin and issue money, and
regulate the value thereof.
That constitutional right power
should be restored to Congress
and banking should be a govern
ment institution, operated at cost,
just az the postal department.
TAXATION
The present form Of taxation Is
breaking down. Taxes should be
collected according to the ability
to pay. with an especially high
tax on wealth over one million
dollars, and yearly incomes over
100000 dollars. '.t-a
A law should be passed where
by 5000 worth Of property should
be taxfree, 90 never again an AM
erican home shall be sold BY the
sheriff for taxes.
UNEMPLOYMENT
The American people are sick
and tired Of relief and dole. They
want work at1 honest wages. They
want 20 save their self-respect.
They don't bellows that the gov
eminent or society owes them a
living but they, have. and demand
the right for an opportunity 70
make q living. 1878 II
Unemployment has caused I'M
told suffering TO millions Of peo-
pie and has cost billions Of dol
lars. At present Is million men
and their families and denied the
right to work and earn q decent
living and are more or less starV-

to an old neighbor, Art Blaize.
who moved into the farm house,
set the furniture into the granary,
and appropriated the supplies.
Then the machinery companies got
busy and took such machinery as
they had some sort Of a claim on,
thirteen heavy pieces Of machin-
cry. Much Of the rest Of the mach
tnery disappeared. Callahan who
had the means to farm in 1885
and had lot Of land summer fall
lowed, sent his son Fletcher and
wife back in the spring to farm
the place, but he found their old
neighbor, Blaize in possession.
Hagen notified Callahan Of what
had occurred. Callahan himself was
infected with blood poisoning and
could not come for months. Finally
the family returned in the later
part Of the summer TO view the
wreck Of their all, their lives saw
ings.
GALATIANS
TURN TO HOLIDAY
They tried to got the matter

Is now reported willing to grant
the 81, 500 loan, on q new applica-
ton. But Callahan IL not In the
possession Of the farm, and the
Union Central Life Insurance Co.
will not carry out its proposal.
Callahan turned in desperation
to the Holiday Association for help
IN the recovery Of the possession
Of his farm. The Holiday called q
demonstration at the farm, but a
blizzard broke that day, and the
country showed in, 90 the farmers
have been able to do nothing vet.
On the day Of the demonstration,
Sheriff Hans Hadsen was at the
farm with q number Of armed dep
uties, including immigration Off
GERS and revenue men, deputized
TO protect BlaiEe and keep the
Galatians OFF their farm and out
Of their home.
HOLIDAY
COMMITTEE CALLS s,.
On Tuesday Of this week q
Holiday committee, composed Of
prominent Holiday members and
several Of Callahan's neighbors,
went to the Callahan farm 70 see
Art Blaize who, Judas like, for a
few pieces Of silver, Is willing to
help do the Galatians out of their
farm and home, but Blaize refus-
ed to talk, refused to reason, and
insisted on staying on the farm

guest, where he had always been
welcome at the Callahan table

kind and neighborly acts towards
the Blaize family, but seemed to
be proud Of the part he was and
is playing in the robbinR Of his
old neighbOrs, the Galatians. But
the Holiday farmers are not going

going to fight for the Galatians tc
the bitter end.

The policy Of the United States
when the World war began, as
formulated by Secretary Bryan,
was that the extension Of loans or
credit to warning nations was in
compatible with neutrality and
should be banned. This policy was
changed by Wilson, it was reveal
ed, to permit the extension Of
credits through the big banks and
bankers.
Loans Demanded
How Foreign governments and
their financiers were practically
demanding loans from the United
States was evidenced by cables In

ing an average pride for them which
lwould necessarily be low enough to-
protect the buyer against loss on the
por lambs. Such an average price
would he nearly as much as the
choice and good lambs are worth.
Packers who buy and process
lambs because they do not have to
guess at what they are buying, Mr..
Wilson declared, and as prof that
they prefer graded lambs they pay
higher prices for them.
Choice lambs usually sell from Is
to 90 cents above the top market
prices ordinarily reported, he stated
in explaining the difference in the
grade and why on grade Is worth;
more money per pound than another.
Farmers who sell their lambs CO.
|operatively on a graded basis have
learned that it doesn't pay to sell
small, skinny lambs. They are hold
ing them back and feeding them out
so that often they grade as good or
choice when finally sold and bring
the top market price. This practice
pays dividends, and is profitable to
those who follow it.
Grading proviodes standard Of
measure whereby each farmer can oh
tain al that his poduct Is worth.
which is an incentive to the producer
to improve the quality of is product
so as to be abe to cmmand top prices
for it when offered fir sale.
These are indeed comon sense sug-
gestlons that al farmers who raise
lambs for market would do well TO
heed.

Uncle Sam is in the real estate
business now and likely will re-

cording to authoritative figures
the Government is interested in
millions of properties in the
country.

tration in particular is very much
involved in the financial success
of 1,329,599 properties, chiefly
small dwellings, on which it has
guaranteed the payment of loans
totaling $685., 5,767,397. Including
low-cost housing, the Federal
Housing Administrations interest
represents more than 81 200, ,000,-
