IS THIS REVOLUTIONY ‘
Three yvears ago the legislation in
cluded in the McNary-Haugen farm
relief bill as it was passed this week
n congress, came bhefore that body.
|lt was ingloriously defeated at the
time. The manufacturer, armed with
the Fordney-McCumber tariff, had
rossession—complete possession. The
great trusts and combines slipped a
seemingly everlasting grip upon our
government when the Harding admin
istration came in. Crooks, thieves,
robbers in high place—these literally
swarmed ~about Washington and
since that day high stealing— large
stealing from the public—has been
30 common that seldom a day passes
that something does not go to the
most remote reader ahout some ccr
rupt handling of public affairs.
} The rights of the public — they
slipped away under the pressure of
!rhu heel of the corporation, the merg
er, the combine, the great public ser
-Ivi(-(s oparators. Nothing like this
susender of the rights of the pub
lic has ever occurred in this country,
There was a reversion from war—
and with the reversion the public
tool tne worst lils that c;o.lfl'(l'be,i}m-l
posed upon it. These spéclql inter
ests are drinking blood as hungry
brutes of the jungle yet in America,
They have a thirst no source can
supply. They grab at millions ag in
former days they sought mere dol
lars All of it—all of it — comes
fl'()ll.l the American public where
tribute is levied without let or hind
rance. The beaten democratic south
takes this medicine in the form of
defeat. The west pays this price fori
the privilege of calling itself republi-
can—and here we are ten years away
from the close of the war abject
slaves to the powufiul rich in this
country, today—just today—showing

§n the hands—in the hands of “dirt”
farmers — farmers who are sent to
'the job by the farm co-operatives be
cause the president will have no oth
er from which to select the person
nel of the farm board, Why is such
a law possible to pass both houses
of congress at this or any other
time?
We term it revolt. It amounts to‘
\that in large letters. We do not ex
‘pect Coolidge to sign. He would noti
be true to his masters He will re-i
‘ruse—that’s our guess. But that will
make little difference in the longi
lrun. It will merely delay what is
.;{coming——hound to come. This is a
lconsuming fire that will grow with;
{conflict offered by the opposition, and
I'tomorrow, fanned and piled high with§
‘{nore fuel, it will show throughout;
Ithe country a signal for action. Iti‘
the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill:
10! today fails, that of tomorrow,‘
though it may be bearing anotherl
!=nams:, will carry the same struggle to
lmngress with added strength. It will
| win again and the opposition will be
;swept out of power. Resentment of
tthe public against special interests
‘now in charge of the government
!will be such as to make possible a

from the farmer at his own price
and charged likewise what he wishedj
for it when he sold it back to the
consuming public. All that will be
changed with the farm relief meas
ure in effect—if it gets that far.
The American public has paid trib
ute to'the money masters as long as
it means to pay. The gr§p is so se
