To the Editor of the Union: Richard Hammer, writing in your paper,' draws some wonderful conclu sions from a store company that has been organized in North Dakota by members of the Nonpartisan league, The writer knows very little about these store companies, except what has been written by enemies of the league. From these writeups we judge that each farmer who becomes a store company member has to sign a con tract that is plain and easily under stood and to pay $100 for a ten-year membership. The men who took these member ships must have considered it a good bet, as every store that has been opened has increased its membership materially, and requests for store or ganizations from other parts of the country are turned down every day. A number of groups in Minnesota have requested stores. Think of that, in the face of propaganda' that has assured them that it is only a scheme of Mr. Townley's to get more money! Mr. Hammer says that Mr. Townley exercises a supervisory control, which is probably the reason why the far mers have so much confidence in them. Now if Mr. Rockefeller had super visory control, as he is said to have of another chain stores proposition, of course it would be different. In trying to find out what a party stands for look at its platform and resolutions. The league is not stand ing for the stores in. Minnesota or North Dakota. They are an indepen dent enterprise of league members who went into them with their eyes open and their wits about them. Not a single member has withdrawn al though the one member who is making a campaign against the stores has re fused to take his money back. It is an interesting fact to note that sev eral meetings called to expose the store companies has resulted in in creased memberships. In a number of the communities where stores have been established the business men of the cities have been so hostile as to create an im pression that they did not want the farmers' trade, and the farmers had to have some place in which to do their marketing. The league's big program is to have the state perform functions of food trusts that now have a cinch on the' marketing, both at the buying and selling end. Recent government investigations show that the packers follow their product to the ultimate market in many parts of the country and they have recently taken over the buying end in butter, eggs and poultry, as well as meats, leather, soap and a number of sidelines. By their control of the markets they have set aside the law of supply and demand, and have instituted instead of it what the President calls the law. of "unre strained selfishness." This has en abled them to pile up their dividends in the hundreds and millions from the productive industries of the country. Therefore, the taking over of the functions of the food trust by the state will mean so much more to the producers than any stores company would mean, and the league members are not interested in the North Dako ta experiment. The league program has proved to be a benefit to both producer and consumer in Australia. One might call the attention of the business men of Minnesota, who are supposed to be trembling in their shoes because of the United Stores company, that the farmers of Minne sota would not have heard of them had they not been brought out and magnified as an argument against the league. If the farmers of Minnesota proceed to find out from the farmers of North Dakota what the stores are doing the business men will have them selves to thank for whatever the re sults may be.
