PULLMAN, WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 10, 1919
SLACKERS
During the war a man war, consid
ered and called a slacker if he
failed to back up with his money
and efforts the boys who were fight
ing to protect his interests. "Slack
er" is an ugly word and any red
blooded man resents having it ap
plied to him. But this is a time for
plain speaking and for calling men
and things by their right names.
If a man was a slacker who failed
to back up the government daring
the war, what is a farmer who fails
to back up the representatives of the
farm organizations, who are fighting
his battles at the national capital.
In this reconstruction period a per
sistent and vigorous fight must be
made to safeguard the interests of
the farmers against the selfish de
mands of capital and other organized
industries. Unless such a fight is
made, measures will be passed in
imical to his welfare and legislation
which he desires to have enacted in
to law will be pigeonholed or de
feated.
The laborer Is worthy of his hire,
and the men who are fighting night
and day to protect the Interests of
agriculture In congress are entitled
to the support of all, not a part, of
the farmers.
The farmer who sits back and
says: "Let George do it. There is
no need of my contributing to build
a Temple of Agriculture at Wash
ington, or of my helping to support
a farm organization, as long as oth
er farmers are doing it and I am get
ting the benefit"—that farmers is a
slacker, because he is reaping what
he did not sow.
It is just as bad to be a "slacker"
In peace as in war times and no farm
er can afford to be on the slacker
list.
WM. GOODYEAR.
THE FARMER AS A
BALANCE WHEEL
Statesmen for centuries have
looked on the farmer as the balance
wheel of civilization. It has been the
ambition of most statesmen to in
crease the number of people on the
land. Men who work their own land
do not strike, neither do they go in
for Bolshevism or similar radical
movements, except when conditions
become exceedingly bad. In France,
at the time of the French revolution,
conditions were so bad that the farm
era were of no use as a balance
wheel. In Russia, in 1916, the farm
ers were practically slaves, and more
interested in becoming land owners
than anything else. In North Dakota
the farmers have become radical
Partly because they depend on one
crop in a very uncertain climate, and
Partly because they are compelled
to. do business under disadvantage
ous conditions with sharp rain
dealers.
Generally speiklng, the farming
class is a balance-wheel which keeps
our civilization standing upright
when the cities are in fearful tur
moil, .lust at present, the farmers
of the United States are in a very
real sense a balance-wheel for the
entire world. The farmer of the
middle west can swing the world
toward social revolution, toward a
return to the old capitalistic system,
toward a happy medium.
But if the farmer is going to have
a voice in improving our industrial
and social system, he has got to give
much more thought to outside mat
ters than he has in the past. The
chief reason why he has been a bal
ance-wheel in the past is that be
cause of his training, temperament,
the nature of his business, and his
isolation, he has not been earned oft
his feet by popular clamor. He is
removed from mob psychology. He
thinks more clearly, moves more
slowly than the city man, and is not
so easily stampeded. He has been
disposed to go along steadily and not
worry over the turmoil which oc
casionally breaks out in the cities,
assuming that it does not affect him
directly.
Now we have come to a time
when, it the farmer is to continue
to be a balance-wheel, he must hi
something more than a large body
which moves slowly. He must think
some things through and take his
stand. The proposed nationalizing
Of the railways, for example. And
the many suggestions which look to
ward a paternalistic form of govern
ment rather than a democratic, sue!
as we have had in the past.
The tendency just now is to make
the farmer a football. He is no
consulted. No particular attentioi
is paid to his views. It is therefore
a time for clear thinking on his part
-Wallaces' Parmer.
A STRONG STATEMENT
I Officials of the New York Stat
Grange, representing 1.2:1,000 tarn:
ers. have issued the following stron
statement:
"The first factor in a happy lit
Is three meals every day. The ih n
33 adequate clothing and housing t
keep the body warm. The war ha
only hastened what every thinkin
agriculturalist has teen for yeat
was surely coming. Rural workei
have not received tho support an
encouragement warm. The war ha
y hastened what every thinkiu
iculiuralist has icon for yeai
I surely coming. Hur.'l workoi
c not received the support an
ouragement which the urba
workers so easily obtained In tl!
form of better schools, road:
churches, houses, sho-ter hours an
higher wages for work under mot
favorable conditions. This had th
result of sieadMy drawing trom th
country its population to an alarmin
degree. Now, Instead of going int
a study tit our situation and develoi
ing a remedy, : our laboring brother
jof the city p rpose to remedy ot
trouble by arbitrary measures wit!
out any real knowledge of the coi
of producing the necessities of life.
No class of Americans with red
blood in their veins will stand being
! told they must labor long hours at
1 Inadequate, pay In order that another
: class may have shorter hours and
higher wages. Even the faithful
farmer, who has always produced
, sufficient food for all, feels he has
about reached the limit, and that no
laboring man of the city should find
I fault if he applies the same rule that
J his city brother has taught him.
"Why Is it that over half our
farms have mortgages on them, and
that two-thirds are worked by rent
ers? When a class of men demand
a higher wage although their labor
dees not earn it, some one else must
pay, and they become dishonest prof
iteers.
"We here challenge the city la
borer to a cost accounting that all
; the world may see who earns hia
wage. Let there in- an authoritative
I cost accounting of farm products and
a wage scale for labor the base of
which shall be its earning power.
"Wheat was $1 a bushel, one bush
el paid for a day's work. Who; t,
by government fiat, is now $2.26 a
i bushel, and It now requires from two
| to three bushels to pay labor for one
, day's work. Again when wool was
1 30 cents a pound, allowing four
\ pounds for a suit of clothes, the
1 farmer received for the product
$1.20. Figuring the cost of a suit
of clothes at $20, 13 days' labor at
$1.50 per day paid for a suit. To
day wool is 65 cents a pound, four
! pounds bringing $2.60, the amount
received by the farmer. The same
suit of clothes is now $40 and the
laborer can obtain a suit by eight
days of labor at $5.00 per day.
These comparisons will hold good
, with every farm product." '
As President Wilson has clearly
explained, the league of nations cove
nant was made a part of the peace
treaty because without such a league
it would be impossible to enforce the
terms of the treaty upon Germany. If
the United States does not join /the
league and a coalition should be
•formed between Germany and Rus
sia, England, France and Italy would
be unable to cope with this alliance,
and the United States would in all
; probability be drawn into another
j colossal struggle to save democracy.

Wheat growers who are dissatis
fied with the government grades and
docking regulations for wheat should
go to Spokane tomorrow and make

poration.
After Chicago and Cincinnati
have settled the baseball champion
ship, people may begin to take a lit- '
tie interest :'ji the debate over the
ratification of the peace treaty be
fore the U. S. senate.
Some United States senators per
sist in regarding the peace treaty as
a democratic document and insist
that it must not lie ratified without
I republican reservations.
High living stimulates high prices.
As long as people spend their money
recklessly the cost of living will not
decline.
