THE NEXT STEPS FOR FARMER.
LABORITES AND PROGRESSIVES

Editor Askov American:
Farmer-Laborites and Progressives
won the election on November 3 with
smashing victory, but the fight has
just begun. We must now capitalize
on that success. What are the neces-
sary steps just ahead of us?
The voters showed in the recent
election that they are ready for
change. That they voted primarily
for Roosevelt and not the Democratic
party is indicated by the huge ma
jOrities given to the Minnesota Farmer
Labor party, the Wisconsin Progress
sive party and the 100000 votes given
the American Labor party ticket in
New York. The people have spoken
emphatically. They no longer look to
business and industrial leaders as ex-
pressed in the Republican party for
economic and social security. More
and more they are looking to govern
ment for this leadership.
Our task as Farmer-Laborites and
PrOgressives is to force government to
assume this leadership. In attaining
this objective we must unite in ac-
ton all the forces moving in our left
ward direction. We have now Q) La
boris Non-Partisan League led by
Lewis, Hillman and Dubinsky. This
group brought tremendous support to
Roosevelt in the industrial areas
| (2) Then there are the Progressives
led by the La Follettes in the Pro-
gressive National Committee USING
Nye, LaGuardia, Norris, Wheeler and
others in the campaign they consti-
tute a new organized force. 90 We
also have the Marxists and Liberals.
These include the two Socialist
groups, the Communist party and
those Liberals clustering about the
Nation, the New Republic and similar
progressive publications. (4 Finally
there are the Production for Use
groups including the Wisconsin Farm
er-LabOr Progressive Federation, the
Minnesota Farmer-Labor Association
the Washington Commonwealth Fed
Grafton, the Epic group in California
and the various Farmer-Labor parties
III Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire,
Indiana and other states. If we are to
make real progress these next months
we must bring about plan of organic
alton whereby these groups. or most
of them, can cooperate in a broad
united program.
The immediate objective should be
to concentrate on fundamental legis-
latiOn to the left of the New Deal,
pointed up in unique way to drama
tie the Farmer-Labor program. Our
first emphasis should be on human
rights amendment to the federal con-
stitution, giving Congress the power
to pass legislation affecting wages,
hours and adequate social security,
without the interference of the SUI
preme Court. Then we should stress
a productive public works program.
Prosperity is returning but leaving at
least nine million unemployed not ben

IoHScT yOu Wall, the longer IL TAXES.
We cut everything to one inch. The
small limbs were left and get rotten
soon. Then the timber is clean. The
forest can be worked back at its own
cost where the fires don't go.
There is timber enough to pay the
bills. That will be cordwood. We
say two grades, the low grade So a
cord, that would be all mixed wood.
Then it will be oak, birch, maple; No.
1 cord wood 81 a cord. That will
be ties, pulp wood and fence posts,
and so on. 1t will cost So cord
to cut and clean and burn the brush.
A dollar cord to haul the wood, two
miles both ways from the road.
Logs and ties and pulp will more
than pay for the work but the cord
wood will hardly pay the expenses.
l figure the whole amount of wood
Then the work will boss the man and
then you will know where you are at.
The forest ranger will have to be
there and see that things are cut
right and measure and sell the wood.
That old timber that is standing here
are bOarders. They are taking money
from the taxpayers pocket. Young
timber and all that is fit to stand
we leave standing to grow.
If this is started a saw mill will
come in here and a shingle mill also.
1t will be no burden on anybody. 1t
will prevent fire, give employment and
work for the future
For tools and things like that the
settlers have got them. Camp build
ings will be shacks. The settlers are
glad to build them to get work.
l know all this for l worked with
my grandfather when l was small
boy. He was taking care of many
thousand acres of land for company
from Norway. After l was Is years
worked under forest ranger. One
of the best Sweden has. Forests
will average 1910 if they are handled
right. We figured that out. 1t is
worth more than farm land. So we
didn't break much land anymore. We
could borrow money, on the young
timber, in the bank. 1t was good Sc
curity. When young timber is grown
it is wealth.
l have talked with forest rangers.
They say it is best to let it be and
let nature take care of it. Nature
is working slow. 1t may take 1000
years to put the country in shape.
Some Of it was when they first started
logging here.
BY that time you can take many
crops from the land. Now the state
or who has timber land has to work
in the same way if they are going
to get their full value. And then we
figured so we had so much timber.
1t works on the rivers and lakes so
they don't dry out. And it works on
the farms and many things. Tie
settlers who are living here should
not have any taxes, with so much
timber land around ,Kingsdale. For
you have ruined your timber and part
of your unemployment and we can't
all be farmers. - Then we have no
one to sell to. Now if you work it
like Il am saying here, no man needs
to be out of work here. And the
country will be growing richer right
along. There are many things l
should write about but l think yeu
understand the idea.

Farm Bureau is having unusual sue
cess in collecting membership fees as
well as in getting members, since it
not only permits but solicits tobacco
WarehouSemen, merchants and others
interested in its detectives to pay for
the memberships of many farmers
who either cannot or do not want to
pay membership dues. It is under
stood that in one good-sized tobacco
market town in Eastern Carolina, the
Farm Bureau has collected $1,000 in
membership fees from warehousemen
alone and that throughout the tobac-
co belt, warehousemen are being urg-
ed to "confribute'' anywhere from
500 to $500 each to the Farm Blu
reau to pay for memberships for far
mers. According to reports heard here
the tobacco warehOuSemen are being
assured that if they will do this, the
Farm Bureau will work for a tobacco
compact law to limit tobacco produc-
ton, which in turn will mean higher
tobacco prices, which in turn will
mean larger commissions for the
warehousemen. Conversely, according
to reports, it is being limited that if
tobacco warehousemen do not "come
through" and help the Farm Bureau,
it might advocate legislation to re-
duce the prices now being charged
by warehOusemen for handling the
tobacco of farmers. One or the other
or both Of these arguments are prov
ing very effective in getting tobacco
Warehousemen to take out Farm
memberships for their customers or
for farmers who otherwise would not
become members, according to reports
heard here
Demands on Merchants.
But the Farm Bureau organizers
are not stopping with the tobacco
warehousemen, but are going to mer-
chants and asking them to either con-
tribute to the bureau outright or to
take out more memberships for
farmers, on the promise that it will
assist them in fighting the sales tax,
according to those who have been
keeping up with it's activities. So with
the merchants and warehousemen
paying So each for memberships
which farmers will not pay for in ad-
dition to the many farmers who are
joining the Farm Bureau and paying

going to have much trouble in get
ting a tremendous membership and

tivities during the forthcoming Gen

are that it hopes to have from 10000
to $4,000 members by the time the
General Assembly convenes, which in
turn should provide it with between
$4,000 and $4,000 for use, if needed,
during the coming session. Those who
know how sensitive legislative SEES
sions are to the desires of the far
