classification law, being taxed higher
than other classes of property in Mon
tana?
A standard of measurement which
permits a relative comparison is the
percentage factor that the taxes paid
bear to the capital structure. This
appeals to me as a fair and just stand
ard to employ.
From a study made in the limited
time at my disposal I am convinced
that this percentage factor does not
show that the banks are Disseminated
against to any appreciate extent. But
it does indicate that our entire tax
structure should be given careful and
expert study and revision in order to
correct inequities in our classification
law as they apply to all taxpayers.
Another feature of the question
arising with this bill impresses me,
this being that should the measure
become a law it would create resent
ment among other classes of taxpay-
ers who have not been singled out for
special legislation, and this would cost
the banks in public respect, confid-
ence and good will much more than
could be estimated in the dollars and
cents saved in taxes.

lions in 1913, but costing consumers
more than $4 billions. Such across
the board" price raises would inter
| fere not only with preventing initiation
but also would interfere with getting
farmers to shift to more needed crops,
and would upset feed ratios and pre-
vent increases in livestock.
1t is also true that if the parity
formula is opened for revision, a num-
Der of other changes may be made to
bring it up to date which would lower
it more than the inclusion of all labor
would increase it. Adding only the
cost of hired labor would increase the
price level about 80, since only about
1850 of all labor on farms is wage
labor
Parity price does not represent cost
of production, nor standard of living
formula, nor even parity of income.
Parity prices are far higher than the
cost of production of large farmers,
and even above the average cost of
production of some commodities.
Thus, increasing all prices flat
amount would not help much in crops
which have a high labor cost, and not
be needed in commodities having less
than average labor costs.
Farmers should remember that 1912
net farm income was the highest on
record and that it went largely to one
million larger farmers. Cash income
went up faster than farm wages or
other costs. Wages still represent
only one-eighth of all cash expenses,
although for larger farmers the pro
portion is higher. But two-thirds of
all the income goes to the top million
farms, which also hire most of the
labor. At least half of our farmers
produce so little that prices would
have to increase three or four times
before they would have a decent liv
ing. Greater volume of production
and and not prices is the real answer
for five-sixths of our farmers. That
is the Farmers Union program, fair
prices, and guarantee that farmers
will get them, but give them the
means to produce more of what the
needs.

The Farmer and the City Worker
WHY LET CAPITALISTS
DIVIDE AND CONQUER?
WHITNEY, President Brotherhood of Railroad Tranmen
(Ths IS o artices)

Although farmers and industrial
workers constitute voting majority,
they have been kept apart by the di-
vide and conquer technique of selfish
business and financial interests.
Farmers must worry about made
quate markets and labor about unem-
ployment. Big business has striven
to maintain an economic order where
in cheap labor is plentiful. In order
to have cheap labor, there must be
cheap food and fibre to sustain the
workers Consequently, business and
financial interests crave free opera
ton of the law of supply and demand
in so far as 1t applies to farmers and
industrial workers. But, contrary to
what their propaganda would lead us
to believe, these selfish interests long
ago learned that the principles of
rugged individualism," or hands-off
of economic laws, were undesirable
as applied to themselves.
Organize Themselves
They favor a planned society" for
themselves in the form of holding
companies, trusts and combinations.
No radical ever asked for more COM
pIete grandiose "coIIectivity" than the
modern holding company or trust. AL
though the several states of our union
are prohibited by our federal consti-
tuition to negotiate contracts with for
eign powers, yet these trusts, monop-
olies and cartels frequently have in
ternational worldwide closed shops.
The war has shown how dangerous
to our national security these giant
cartel closed shops can be when ne
gotiated with an enemy country.
Industrialists and financiers abol-
ished the law of supply and demand
as it applied to them by organizing
They are not beginners in the applica
ton of the principle of the "closed
shop" Our government calls for bids
on fabricated steel products, and how
ever complicated may be the commod
ity involved, steel companies offer
identical bids from different parts of
the country. They don't compete
with each other for business-they or
ganize. And they get "closed shop"
"Not for Toilers"
Industrialists and financiers got
their Wagner act many years ago.
They did not depend upon federal
act. They went into every state and
the District of Columbia and got their
Wagner acts. Thus we find that

These selfish interests, who have

to prevent farmers and workers

How long will farmers and indus

to separate them so completely by the

that Hitlerian principle, because for

1t was rumored that Murray at
tempted to high-pressure Paul Nc
Mutt, war manpower commission
chairman, into putting Parker in as
state director of Selective Service for
Montana Another federal appoint
ment that is to be made soon is state
director of the Office of War Infor-
nation, a position formerly held by
Miles Romney Sr. It appears that
Murray has nothing to do with the
selection of a person for this place
inasmuch as the Owl is under the
Civil Service act. If Murray wants
to find a place for Parker he can
probably get him settled in the OPA

Senator Murray sponsored the ap-
pointment of Randall Swanberg, Great
Falls attorney, as assistant United
States district attorney. This posi-
ton was formerly held by W. D. Muir
ray, son of Senator Murray, who was
recently commissioned as a lieutenant
in the Navy. Swanberg has been ac-
tive in democratic politics in Great
Falls. Swanberg has been Lamey

pointment is further evidence that
Murray and Lamey expect to get to-
gether for the 1914 campaign All

What the anti-labor gang expects

bly,. There is not the slightest pos
sibility that the bill will pass either
house, and it appears certain now that
| if the bill reaches the governor he
would veto it. Senator Arnold has
long been considered a chief lieuten-
ant of the Anaconda company. In
deed, it is no secret that in previous
years he has travelled far and wide
over the state of Montana lining up

positions. He and Senator Campbell

fered by Representative Rice of Big

This bill would permit the state to in

thus saving insurance premiums. Ma
tural1y, every insurance agent in the
state was opposed to this bill, and
they had spokesman in the house who
presented their viewpoint Frank
Hazelbaker of Missoula county, quick
ly entered his objections to this bill
and he was roundly seconded by other
insurance agents. The bill would
save the state money, would prevent
gouging practices by insurance men,
and would be a step in the right di-
rection.
