TAYLOR, Manager. F. J. WALLACE, Editor. — ** ap -1 pears a lengthy article written by J. E. Martin to W. M. Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture, in which he brings forth the needs of the farmer, and the relief that should be theirs through the McNary Haugen Bill. This article is timely and should be read by every patron of the Producers News, who is inter ested in agriculture and the prosperity of the farmer, as farm relief will be one of the big issues of the present Congress and one which will have to be met, even though every effort is being made to dodge the issue. The article by Mr. Martin, who is a prominent member of the Minnesota Council of Agriculture, clearly brings out many points, which have been heretofore but lightly touched upon in discussion of the McNary-Haugen Bill. His logic is good and straight to the point and will bear the light of, day, which cannot be said of some of the logic being propounded by opponents of the McNary-1 Haugen Bill. FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1928 THE McNARY-HAUGEN BILL In this week's issue of the Producers News the ; people of the Northwest at this time than is a real measure for farm relief—a measure that will will really benefit agriculture and keep the tillers. of the soil on the farms and give them and their families a fair profit on their produce over the I Probably no matter is of more interest to cost of producing. Every farmer and citizen of the Northwest | should watch the developments now taking place at the nation's capital and they will then see that i politics means a great deal to them—that those who tell them to stay out of politics are not work ing for the good of the farmer, do not know what they are talking about, or are deliberately misleading the farmers for their own. gain. j It seems that the average person can only be j brought to dwell upon a subject when it "is hot", i Farm relief is a "hot" subject at this time and ! I I j will do no good to anyone, Then bring your mind to dwell upon the fact that if you, and millions like you, had organized and voted together for representatives that came from j your own ranks and were responsible to you and your organization, how different the situation would be. if you don't believe in politics for the farmer, 1 watch the way the representatives of the people vote and the attitude the President some of you voted for, acts on the farm relief measure, and see the way they use their efforts to cut the heart out of the McNary-Haugen bill to make harmless antidote that it If the farmer and worker allows big business and the white-collared brigade to pick his repre sentatives for government positions for him, he cannot expect that he is going to receive any good from that representative—big business is going to take all the traffic will bear and the white collared gentry will see that they get it. One voter cannot not make any material gain by himself but an organization of all the workers and producers over the entire country would change the political aspect overnight. All we ask of our readers is each and every one to watch the representatives of the people (?) per form in Congress and remember the actions pf the Congressmen when it come to relief for the farm The newspaper dispatches of today are already ers, and the next time anyone says you have no business in politics that the farmer should stay home and slop the hogs, you will be in a position to give that person some good advice. 0. >3 WASHINGTON GOSSIP By LAURENCE TODD. Fed. Press. 'Mi.... Washington— (FP )—John D. Rock--rotary efeller, Jr., and the Rockefeller Foun-; dation are expected to figure in the , testimony which Sen. Walsh of Mon -1 tana is about to require, in the inquiry | which a subcommittee of the Senate public lands committee will conduct, as to what became of the Liberty bonds that were left to the credit of the Continental frading Co. öfter Ai bert Fall had rceeived $230,500 from that source. j One of the chief partners in the pool of oil men who created the se- 1 cret fund of the Continental was the I Stanard Oil of Indiana, in which the younger Rockefeller and the Rocke feller Foundation were largely inter ested. George E. Vincent, former president of the University of Min nesota, is head of » the foundation, which distributes huge sums for med ical etfucation and research in various parts of the world. The investigates will try to learn whether, the founda tion itself, through Standard of In diana, contributed to the corruption fund. President Coolidge has left the press know that he is indignant at the slow progress made by the shipping board in selling the government's merchant fleet. He notes that one member of the board has voted against every proposed sale of ships. Coolidge's view is that the govern ment cannot operate ships—regard less of the fact that it is now doing so—because governments are not run for profit-making, and all business is run for the sake of profit. Sen. Walsh of Massachusetts, call ing to the attentioA of the senate the rapid decrease in American wheat shipments abroad, along with a great increase in Canadian exports of wheat said that one chief factor in the pros perity of the Canadian wheat export trade was government-owned ships. Not a word of comment was ob tamable at the state department, after Standard Oil of New York issued ita formal declaration of defiance of Roy al Dutch Shell in the worldwide oil war based on Standard's buying oil from the Soviet government for its India market. The department's decision that American firms could trade with Sov iet Russia was issued by farmer Sec Colby in 1920. Hughes sus tained Colby and has more recently as counsel for Standard .approved its contract with the Soviet government oil trust. The oil war is looked upon on as essentially a struggle between American and British capital in the fuel markets of the entire world .. , Not a progressive idea was broach ed n 9 r a thsturbing principle of in us Uial democracy hinted at, during tb f lo . n *\ h «urs of speechmaking which ^tended the Jackson Day dinner giv enpy the democratic national com nll ,,,; ce ln ^ be ca PRal. ..

He described the present situation as one in which the demo cratic party should go into a court of moral bankruptcy if it cannot find an issue. *« Irvine L. Lenroot, former senator from Wisconsin and renegade pro gressive, is directing the power trust lobby before the senate committee interstate commerce, in hearings to determine whether the senate shall create a special committee to inves tigate power trust financing and pow er rates, and whether the power com bine is making heavy innvestments in corruption of public officials and can didates. His client, the joint com mittee of National Utility Associa tions claims to represent 17 billion dollars of capitalization. Lenroot used to be active in the Na tional Conservation Association and other groups that were fighting the power crowd. Then, like Joe Bailey of Texas and many more, he changed his allegiance. Last week Lenroot using his priviledge of the sen ate floor—granted to all ex-senators to circulate among the members for quiet chäts. And he was a visitor to the office of Senator Moses, leader of the trust bloc in the senate, to leave w j^ b Moses a bale of documents issu ed by his client to prove that there is no power combine and that the on was telling of the attempts to pick the McNary-Haug en bill to pieces.

This is not blasphemy from an irresponsive revo lutionist but the assertion of the conservative Wall Street Journal. re It is none the less a revolution ary application to the whole social system of the ruthless American theory that a piece of machin e 'T should be scrapped as soon as a better appears. Criticizing the rather hackneyed socialist phrases used by the League for Industrial Democracy the Journal says: "When a man says that capitalism is a religion ; and that all the world save the United States is : profoundly skeptical of this religion, his facts ^ | at least 20 years out of date. Hardly anywhere , are men more skeptical of capitalism, or any other conception of a fixed system than here." The Journal defines skeptical as meaning a ques tioning attitude. It holds that a generation ago capitalism was something like a religion but that a better understanding of human needds has come. "Today," says the Journal, "capitalism is regard ' ed in America as merely a useful machine to be overhauled, redisigned and reconstructed like any other; even to be replaced when a better instru ment appears." This statement has almost the ring of Jeffer | son's reovlutionary phraseology in the declaration independence. The declaration asserts that the | purpose of government is to protect the people ir tbeir inalienable right to life, liberty and the pur 1 suit of happiness and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends | he people have th e right to alter or abolish it and I nstl J ate a new government in a form most likely their f afe . ty and happiness. , e oarna ^ ns right.

We are forced to the inevitable conclusion that our national policies have not been at all adequate to meet the needs of American agriculture esne dally in this postwar period.

Y et it was only a few years ago that Lenroot played a different role in the lobby drama. The senate was considering an alien property bill in which a foreign firm was interested. Its local counsel was Hoke Smith, former senator from Georgia. Smith sat beside Sen, Overman of North Carolina on the floor, and handed to Overman a number of proposed mendments to the bill. Lenroot, see ia £ tbis performance, walked over to Smith ami told him that unless he, Smith, left the chamber immediately, he would be exposed by Lenroot forth Smit h £ot up and Jeft. . Ihjs incident was recalled by many correspondents when Lenroot appear ed on the floor, in the very footsteps of the man whom he had driven and plying his trade of hired pur suader for big money.

TO WHAT FORMS OF ECONOMY DIDi THE DECLINE OF SLAVERY LEAD? The decline of salveholding economy was parti cularly manifest in the Roman Empire. The mous progress reached by slaveholding economy was bought at the price of the proletarianization (deprival of the means of production—the laud) of the free peasantry. In the Roman Empire, small landholder was ruined on the one hand, be cause of the government obligation the military duties, which for example beyond his rp^ult of war { a ^8 r «culture.

The landowners, for whom the cld « av « on of the latifundia« (large land posses s * ons ) by slave labor was becoming more and more difficult on account of the insufficiency of slaves , and * be low productivity of their labor, naturally began to seek new methods of exploitation of their 1 * ands ' At first a substitution of agriculture on the enor the a. were strength; and on the other hand and hunger which drove him into lasting enslave ment and poverty.

G. Soltis Our prediction with regard to the Capitalist political policy the Farm ers Union is going to follow, as pub lished in these columns, are now as suming tangible form. It is doing precisely what we said it would. In the December issue of the offi cial organ of the F. U., the Farmers Union Herald, the farmers of the Northwest, the state of North Da kota, Minnesota and South Dakota in particular, informs them to elect dele K a tes to the National Republican con vention. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that in the very next is sue of the Farmers Union Herald, Ricker will sound the call, as I pre dicted, for the farmers to "capture the state republican conventions." Policy of Union * Here is what the renegade socialist, Mr. Ricker, wants: "Our job here in the west where we are Republicans by habit is to see to it that farmers are sent as dele gates to the Republican National Con vention. And these delegates of ours should not be merely farmers, but the type of farmers who belong to real farm organizations, and who know a sheep from a goat, or a wolf perhaps would be the better name." The farmers should not be confus ed as to whose policy this is. In Q.

And the like. of to the sins of fighting the criticism aimed at this big business policy on the part of the Farmers' Union, the lower strata of officials of the union simply put all the blame on A. W. Kicker. That is camouflage. This policy is the offi-1 cial policy of the Farmers Union ail over the country, otherwise, it would not be advocated in the official or gan of the F. U. Ricker is merely doing what he is told to do. Furthermore, the rank and file of the organization, is, according to the rules published in the Farmers Union Herald, deprived of the right to dis partisan" politics. Well, then, what kind of politics is Ricker preaching when he comes out flatly for the republican party ? On the one hand the rank and file is pro hibited from discussing ''P a rtisan" politics m the columns of the Herald, b r t .u° n w h M , her ha , nd ,', he leadersh, l> of the F. U. does actually redommend "partisan' politics of Wall Street col of. Is this supposed to be something deep and clever; something beyond the understanding of the rank and file? It looks that way, Forget Farmer-Labor Party Moreover, Ricker does not write the truth, when he says that "in the West where we are republicans by habit." He knows as well as we do, that in Minnesota, North Dakota and cuss South Dakota, Farmer-Labor parties are in existence, as a challenge to the Wall Street parties. In Minnesota, the Farmer-Labor party is knocking at the doors of political power, in St. Paul. The workers and larmers have quit the republican "habit", to which Kicker wants them to return. And that explains his mission. Big busi ness has spent large sums to wreck the Minnesota Farmer-Labor party, The leadership that Ricker is giving the Farmers Union politically is the same that the national republican committee stands for. Lowden is not only acceptable to capitalism, but he is part of it. Rick er would bust up the growing Farm erer-Lahor party and thus serve Wall Street royally. Perhaps this explains why the F. U. Herald is chuck full of trust ads. Here is an editor of a farm paper, telling the farmers to remain chained to a Wall Street party, whose record against the farmers of the nation, is one big black page of robbery and treachery, a party that is owned and controlled by big business, and in which the farmers and workers have as much chance to influence, as a snow-ball has to exist in hell. That this is so, I call upon a man for evi dence who is the paid literary water boy of the republican party—Samuel G. Blythe. Wall Street Will Do the Nomimating In a recent ballyhoo article for the republican party, appearing in the Saturday Evening Post, Blythe said: .Then the general manag ers and strategists and proprietors of the Republican Party will get to work in conference assembled at the pro per moment, in company with their general managers and proprietors— to-wit: half a dozen or so captains of business and finance who might be named but will not be at the moment." Blythe wrote this in connection with the question, who will nomin ate the next candidate for the presi dency on the republican ticket, when the staged deadlock will have arrived in the convention. He speaks of the "proprietors" of the repuublican party. He says he could name them but won't. "A half a dozen or so, captains of business and finance." These will do the nom inating as everyone with a grain of sense knows. Who are these "half a dozen or The steel trust, the railroad trust, the Wall Street bankers, head ed 9M so : of Morgan, Standard ! Oil and the Harvester and T trusts. They are the "proprietors" as ! Blythe aptly calls them. Only name j the candidates for president in both; capitalist parties.
