ASSOCIATED FARMERS
AND THE KlAN

CalifornianS who really want To help
drive out subVersive influences and radl-
cal agitators will follow the advice OF
the Associated Farmers of California
and refrain from attempting Ia do SO
through the medium Of amy such agency
as the ku kluX klan.
Perhaps the re-vitalized hlan-lt II
has been re-vitalized-ha only the LOTT
est motives and the best intentions in the
world, but judging by past performance
its methods are not those conducive 10
prolonging the life Of a democracy.
Most Californians will sympathize
with the expressed aim of the Klan in
the San Joaquin valley area: to do away
with forces seeking to undermine the so
cial and economic structure of the Ma
ton
But no group which hides behind
hoods and masks and relies upon physi-
cal violence can achieve that aim. Such
a group. rather, breeds greater danger,
for il indicates diSreSpect of the law,
faVorS use Of force by a strongly organ
lied minority. and invites subverSion Of
its own supposedly high aims by ambi-
tious but unscrupulous persons.
The Associated Farmers have found
the better way. 1t lies in an organiza-
tion that is open for the inspection of
anyone. the membership of which is
available to anyone who holds the same
views, and the chief aim of which is an
educational program showing the mistake
of believing in or putting any faith at
all in those who have demonstrated their
subversive tendencies.
The Associated Farmers work within
the law cooperating with law enforce
ment agencies wherever their coopera-
tion is desired, and make no secret of the
things they wish to accomplish.
The ku kluX klan is secret organiza-
ton
We prefer the Associated Farmers and
we believe their methods are the only
ons which will prove at al! successful in
combating alien agitation among the
ranks of farm laborors The way of Sc
crecy, on the other hand, is potentially
as dangerous as the thing it supposedly
seeks to overcome It should be stunned.

FUNDS FOR SMALL BUSINESS

What small business mainly needs is
partnera-equity capital Proponents of

they think, apparently, that government
supervision is needed to help lure private

This newspaper is convinced that ust
the opposite is true Capital has gone
into hiding-look at those six billion dol

owners of these funds believe the posi-

Among the risk factors are heavy gov

adopted at the last session
