We farmers of America should all

The organizations motto must be:
Righteousness, Justice and Fair Play.
Our aim must principally be to loosen
us from all entanglements, interfer-

class or number.
Under the direction of our Square
Deal constitution and with the aid
of these five proposed objectives, we
farmers of America all in one unison
should place our share of true repre-
sentatives, fair minded men of our
own occupation in our state houses,
at Washington, and at the head of

APPRECIATION A
Editor ASkov American:

Editor ASkOV Amerlcan
Again through the kindness of your
publication we are favored to read a
very timely letter by S. j. Simon
sen in your issue of March 3, up
holding the principle of profit as
stimulus and urge to more develop
ment and greater production of
wealth.
l think most people can agree with
that, but why have that "sea-cook"
of a holdup man, Uncle Sam, in
effect, as the white man dividing crow
and duck with his Indian compan-'
ion. Uncle steps in and demands
from that wealth producer a share of
his private gains, yes, even takes of
his wealth whether he made a profit
or not-and Uncle, in his stupidity,
or is it Wilfull crookedness? lets his
own created value, rent, slip away,
much into the hands of the non-pro-
ducer, the land speculator Had we
instructors in colleges and schools
that knew and understood the law
natural law-God's law, of cause and
effect, and would teach the truths of
the economic law, there would soon
be contingent of voters that would
support, yes demand, laws that would
put "old man depression" into the
background, dead forever.
The other item of similar import
ance was the "good roads PROPOSE
tion"-sounds very good-but here
again you have to look out how the
white man divides with the Indian
You use taxpayers money for this
improvement, and what truly is the
effect? What has increased in price?
Not clothing, shoes, cattle or apples,
or any other labor product, but con-
tiguous land values have jumped up.
Now then, if Uncle had half the sense
some Indian chiefs had about keep
ing the land for all the tribe he would
follow the economic law, Gods law of
justice, and instead of imposing a
tax, that is in effect legally stealing
private wealth to pay public expense,
he would take what rightly belongs
to him, and that is rent, just pay
ent for services rendered.
This would most effectively stim-
ulate business, leave in the hands of
the deserving an immense purchas-
ing power and, greater than all this,
it would be treating the rising gen.
Grafton as a civilized nation should,
to a freedom of opportunity and a
fair chance, and security in their
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness which our present setup
completely ignores.
Wake up, teachers and lawmakers,
let us have justice done!

Askov, Mimi.

l sincerely believe that the follow
ing brief is an upright and true state
ment in regard to the objectives of
the new deal farm legislation.
Have we really come to point
in our nation where a Congress, in
Guiding those in superior capacity,
have taken it upon themselves, des-
pite their holy oath to support and
obey the supreme law of the land, to
set up DEGREES which clothe one or
more men with superior power to run
the destiny of the farmers, including
our heritage of our uneXcelled Con-
Stitutional rights and liberties; to set
over us dictators to control the peo-
pie with compulSive devices, with
out the consent of our uneXcelled
democratic Constitution? Shall it be
permitted that the heavens, the uni
verse, the nature, the religion of pious
people be challenged?
Shall it be permitted that a law
be clothed with unreasonable proviS-
ions which beget treason and cor
ruption; a decree which the world
has never known, which delegates
to one or more people the right to
regiment a class of people, to force
them to abstain from producing
abundant food for themselves and for
the rest of the people who are not in
that capacity of being in the same oc-
cupation? That law be enacted and
executed which takes away the farm
ers' holy rights and liberties to run
their own business, who labor in the
sweat of their brows to create an
agricultural business to comfort them
the rest of their lives, that they may
enjoy peace and happiness?
Shall it be permitted that laws be
placed on record, which will lead the
whole American agricultural popula-
ton into an everlasting discord, which
may create the most vicious dissensior
and strife amongst neighbors, groups
societies and finally involve our whole
nation?
Furthermore, as it positively ap-
pears, shall we have hereafter one
man control over all our reciprocal
foreign trade agreements, tariff
agreements" without the full Con-
gress participating as our Constitution
provides, which has left the farmers
under the mercy of the price fixers
of the world board of trade situated
at Liverpool, England, in control:
Shall this new farm bill be the iror
hand for the prosecution of the gooc
neighbor policy with foreign nations
