THE SOLDIERS VOTE

Congress seems to be hard up fol
political issue when it picks up the
soldiers vote for political football
Under the most favorable circum
stances, it is unlikely if more than 20
of the potential voters would take the
trouble to vote but there is a mighty
vital principle involved and it's ma
tional disgrace to think that any part
of congress should question front
line soldiers right to vote.
If any one has sacred right to vote
for his country it should most GER
tainly be first of all person risking,
and willing, to give his life for his
country and all red tape should be
removed in making it possible for
him to exercise this, his right and
privilege. 1t may not seem to be of
much Importance one way another
as but few will take the trouble to
vote one way or the other but the
principle involved is of paramount i'm
portance.
The basic question is: Has the
soldier a right to vote or not? We
have a war to win and the pickering

that they could but decide to seel
another market or go without. SooI
the packers began to cry an over
supply of pork is coming in to NEE
our limited demand for United States
consumption and of course lowered
the price to primary producers but die
not lower block prices to consumers
as whole, but even that did not act
in time to stop the flow of hogs tC
the markets and call to the govern
ment to prevent surplus beyond all
reach of home consumption led to the
demand to slaughter at the farms all
small and unfinished hogs. Of course
while the packing trust continued to
take his profit on the finished prod
ucts. Then of course, politicians and
party devotes began to weep bitter
tears over untimely death of the little
pigs and farmers-sore over their loss
Joined in the weeping-and we still
hear its echo at the beginning of pres
ent election campaign.
Now, fellow farmers, could the same
results not be obtained for dairy prod
ucts, poultry products-in fact all pri-
mary producers of the farm? Could
the laborer in productive industry now
controlled by A. M. A. not be forced
to pay duty to trusts on commodi-
ties on which the farmer is steadily
losing and not see the facts?
After this conflict is over will they
not have enough heart breaking sor-
row without hearing politicians sob
and cry over poor little pigs that had
to die before they were finished for
market, and because foreign markets
were closed by protected greed?
Are FARMERS so dumb THEY
CAN'T SEE THE JOKE? How will
the profits drawn by trusts, in any
or all lines thru special privilege and
protection aid in paying our huge
so long as those profits
are drawn directly or indirectly from
ordinary consuming people who are
already paying more than their direct
share of income and property tax?
Can Farmers Unions and labor I'M
ions not see both sides of a common
interest and cause? E. B. S.
