THE MONEY TRUST
Editor Nonpartisan Leader: For 25
years the money trust has kept the
voters in a state of lost political mo
tion. Regulation of monopolies was
incubated for their protection. They
have thrived and multiplied under
regulations. If "a private monopoly
is intolerable and indefensible" tffen
the only way to regulate a monopoly
is to own and operate it publicly.
Take, for example, our legalized
banking monopoly. The federal bank
act regulates this parent monopoly.
Under this highly regulated monop
oly the farmers, wage-workers and
merchants are as helpless as the vic
tims of the Pueblo flood. The value
of their efforts is completely at the
will of this money monopoly.
The mass of voters should dominate
one or both of the old political parties
and refuse absolutely to be dominated
by those parties. Mere patches or
changes of personnel in our money
monopoly is of little or no conse
quence. The monopoly itself must be
displaced by public ownership and
operation. Its service must be made
available at cost. It must be made
to serve without discrimination as to
men or localities. Its money must be
made to serve, at cost, as uniformly
and indiscriminately as the postage
stamp. Brother farmers, get into the
Nonpartisan league. Shun the sham
battle. Eliminate the lost motion of
the political circus.

Our Sixth Birthday
BY OLIVER S. MORRIS, EDITOR
HE first issue of the Nonpartisan Leader was published September 23,
1915. That was just six years ago. Six yesrs is not such
the life of a man or of an ORDINARY farm paper. But, considering the
to be overcome and the odds to be met, it is a REMARKABLY
LONG time for a farmers' political and economic publication, WHICH DOES
NOT PLAY IN WITH THE "POWERS-THAT-BE." The Leader has only
just got a good start, though already it has lived longer than any similar
publication. During the next six years the Leader ought to, and with your
help 'will be, of even greater service to American agriculture.
In six years, agaihst an original solid wall of opposition, the Leader has
been able to convince the business world that it is one of the best, if not THE
best, medium reaching farmers in the Northwest and West. While a great
many business institutions which use other farm papers for advertising dp not
use the Leader, because they do not like our editorial policy, a large number
now regularly do business with us, so that getting advertising is not now our
CHIEF problem.
What, then, IS our chief problem?
It is to keep the Leader constantly GROWING in circulation. We realize
that the organized power of the farmers must be INCREASED, and believe
that one of the BEST ways to increase it is to get the Leader into as many'
NEW farm homes as possible. Do you agree to that? To get the Leader read
by farmers who are NOT YET organized is the BEST way to get them OR
GANIZED.
For that reason, our sixth birthday finds us spending time and money to
extend our circulation among farmers who have not before read the paper. We
are succeeding in that, but—unless YOU, who are an old subscriber, keep up
YOUR subscription, what good will all the time and effort we are spending in
new fields do? How can we increase our circulation and your organized power
if, for every NEW reader we get, one of you old subscribers drops out? Don't
make us spend time, effort and money to keep you, who believe in the Nonpar
tisan league and its principles, in the fold. Let us spend that effort in getting
new subscribers! That's why we are continually pleading with you to renew
your subscription promptly.
From the letters we get we judge that the series of articles by John Lord,
of which the fourth appears in this issue, with others yet to come, has been the
most highly valued feature the Leader has contained in many months. "Print
the articles in pamphlet form," several suggested in letters to the editor. "Mr.
Lord has given me my first clear understanding of our financial system/' sev
eral others say. The Leader had difficulty in getting a man with the necessary
knowledge and experience to write these articles, and when Mr. Lord finally
agreed to undertake the task we weren't sure he could write so plainly and
clearly that we who are not financiers or trained economists could understand.
But he has made a great success of It! He even enters into the spirit of your
organization and speaks as one of us! Leader readers owe a debt to Mr. Lord
for explaining so simply the intricate financial facts and problems that every
farmer must understand if he is to act intelligently to get relief.
The harvest is practically over. The returns have been small, it is true.
But surely every farmer can spare the small amount of money necessary to
keep his Leader subscription going. Most of you can spare the money to keep
League dues paid up, and thus get the Leader along with your membership.
Of all times this is the time to keep your fighting organization fighting. You
need the League now more than ever. In the meantime, before, the League or
ganizer gets around, send the Leader your subscription renewal which is only
$1.50 for one year, or $3 for two years. Thus you will get the paper pending
your payment of League dues. When you settle with the League, you will get
full credit for^tffiat you have paid the Leader in subscription money.
Baer, who drew the cover cartoon for the first issue of the Leader, now,
six years later, contributes a "sixth birthday" cartoon for this issue. Morris,
too, drew a birthday cover for us, but since we couldn't use two cover cartoons
on one issue, and because Morris' drawing was too good to go inside, his birth
day cartoon will appear on tht cover of the next issue. It is a boost for the
Leader and good on the cover of any issue, regardless of birthdays.
Have you found that person in your neighborhood who can act as our cir
culation representative for your vicinity? If YOU can not spare a few hours
a month for the cause, do you not know SOMEONE who could, and who would
be interested in the liberal proposition our circulation department has to offer?

would be interested:
