A SOOD PLATFORM . !■ I'lie Indiana Federation of J 1 I'armers Pleased With Platform Declaration ' I INDIANA REPRESENTED ' What Federation Stands for—.l. R. Howard, of < lowa, is President t Indianapolis, March 13. —Ofllcsrs of J the Indiana Ftulpratlon of Formern’ f associations arc highly pleased with t tho pintform and declaration of prin- F ciples set out by the American Farm Uure:m Federation at the recent ua f lional convention held at Chicago. Al- ] though somewhat disappointed at not . getting the national headquarters for i Indianapolis, officers and directors of the Indiana fanners expect to do all in their power to promote the general > interests of the national organization. The Hoosier stale had a fine representation at the national convention, and all those who attended are of the opinion that they have an ideal leader in .1 It Howard, of lowa, as president of the newly formed body 'l’lie platform of thi* national organization dovetails into the principles for which Hie federation in this slate has been working. It follows; W'e, the representatives of one million, sixth thousand members of the farm bureaus of twenty-eight states of the union, hereby renew our unwavering faith in and pledge our full support to the Constitution of the United States. Ours is a government, of the people, by the people, and for the people as a whole and we condemn all of those classes and groups: whether of radicals, or reactionaries, who have bewildered, distressed und agitated the country by un-American and illtempered agitation and actions for purely selfish ends without regard to the rights and welfare of the general public. Every citizen under the flag has the same rights as every other citizen, and autocracies: whether of labor, capital, or what not, shall not oppress or impose upon any of our people. Our fundamental laws were a safe guide for the days before the war and tiw-y are good enough today. We hereby speak out that tho world may he ir our denunciation of radicalism in every form. We stand for but one flag, the “Stars and Stripes” and we will have no other flag; before us. We stand foi;law and order and deI plore the presenfflay tendency to disrespect fundamental laws and truths | and for constituted authority. We plead for a renewal of faith in our f. liowmen and an increase of respect for one another, Christian tolerance and 11 return to the homely yfrtu -s and beliefs of the yesterdays. We stand fortruth and condemn the falrtier, the demagogue, and he wiio counsels either by speech or writing the overthrow of American institutions. The world's war resulted in a great waste of the products of human labor. Increased production is essential to national well-being. We view with grave concern the tendency to unduly shorten the hours of labor everywhere with resultant decreased production and lessened individual efficiency. We stand for higher individual efficiency land believe that every citizen, regardjess of his station in life, should have open to him every incentive for the development of his full power. There- 1 fore, we condemn any system or prac-! tice which tends to set up mediocre men as the standard in any class or group and hereby declare that it is un-American to fix by rule or law the accomplishments or limitations of any man or woman within our gates. Let us speedily return to the true American principle that every citizen is entitled to and should receive remuneration for his services in proportion to his energy, efficiency, and responsibility. In determining a compensation. we believe that the result of the day’s work rather than the hburs thereof should be of a paramount importance. We pledge the farmers of America to the largest possible production consistent with good husbandry, with a view of relieving the world's dire necessities and invite the workers of all other industries to join us in this spirit of service. We declare the strike no longer justifiable and no longer to be tolerated by a long-suffering public. We favor tho creation of such arbitration boards or courts, with power and authority to adjust controversies between labor and capital as shall safeguard tho rights of tho parties di rectly interested, ns well as the welfare of the general public. Realizing the need of trained workers and a healthy citizenship in all walks of life, we urge such general course of instruction of our young manhood as shall call attention to and give promise of relieving general health conditions throughout the

country. Imploring tho waste and extrav.t---lo nce of the present day, we urge the ( necessity for a return to the morn humble and prudent practices of the past. f Our country needs stability and the brakes must be applied to secure that much desired result. Waste breeds recklessness, a lack of responsibility. * and is thn best aid to the profiteer whose selfishness knows no country, und who has no regard for the rights * of masses. * Believing in honest business prac- ' tices, wo recommend legislation, providing that the presence of all substitutes for virgin wool in fabrics and apparel purporting to contain wool, shall bo made known. We recommend that a committee be , appointed to confer with tho Internal Revenue department in working out a s implified form for Income tax returns, for farmers. We definitely and emphatically oppose the proposed legislation to levy a tax of 1 per cent, on land holdings in excess of $10,000.00. We urge the executive committee to lead a fight against this vicious proposition. We demand for agriculture at the hands of state and national legislative bodies, the privilege of collective bat gaining. We insist that in all tariff legislation, agriculture be given equal consideration with other industries. It is the belief of the members of' your committee on resolutions that it is of the utmost importance that this federation should immediately formulate a program of activities, and In behalf we recommend: That the executive committee be instructed to set up without delay a business organization, under direction of trained experts and create bureaus or divisions as follows: 1. A bureau of transportation which will look into transportation matters by both rail and water, to the end that wo may secure rates on farm products which shall be fair as com pared with rates on other commodities, and which shall give to the farmers of tKe United States ocean rates which will enable him to- compete on a fair basis with the farmers of other nations of the world. 2. A bureau of trade relations which shall investigate our dealings with foreign countries to the end that the interests of agriculture may be promoted. 3. A bureau of distribution which shall make a thorough study of the distribution of farm products. 4 A bureau of statistics which shall inquire into world conditions which influence supply and demand, and which shall especially study the me chanics of prices. 5. A legislative bureau which shall have to do with matters of national . legislation wl|ieh affect farming amt farmers.

I > I Farmers Have a Right to the Cost of Production PLUS A REASONABLE PROFIT ORGANIZATION ON THE PART QF FARMERS WILL PUT THEM IN A POSITION TO DO BUSINESS IN A BUSINESS LIKE WAY—TO DEMAND JUSTICE AND GET IT. MANY THINK THE FARM IS ONLY A PLACE TO RAISE CHEAP FOOD. WE BELIEVE THE FARMER HAS THE SAME RIGHT TO RETURNS ON THE CAPITAL INVESTED AS A BANK OR A FACTORY—WE BELIEVE THE FARMER HAS THE SAME RIGHT TO A DECENT WAGE FOR HIS LABOR AS THE SAME SERVICE WOULD BRING IN THE FACTORY. YOUR OWN BUSINESS BY BECOMING A MEMBER OF THE ADAMS COUNTY FARMERS ASSOCIATION. WE NEED EVERY FARMER IN ADAMS COUNTY TO MAKE THIS ORGANIZATION A SUCCESS. YOU WILL BE GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THIS ASSOCIATION DURING THE WEEK BEGINNING MARCH 15. 1920. PROTECT YOUR OWN BUSINESS and JOIN ADAMS COUNTY FARMERS ASSOCIATION MEMBERS OF THE INDIANA FEDERATION OF FARMERS ASSOCIATION.

fl. A bureau of co-operation which I will make a special study of co-op ; eratlve methods which have been found successful tsiili here and in, other countries, anil which shan draw up standard forms for co-operative! enterprise of various kinds und aid state federations to promote local co ! operative enterprises on thoroughly I safe and truly co-operative lines. We wish the American people to definitely understand that the organization self-styled "The Farmers’ Natioiml Council" has no authority t>>, speak in behalf of the farmers of this gountry. Amy and all efforts on the part of The Farmers’ National Council to ally tho agriculturists of America with tho radicals in the Industrial world Is hereby denounced. ‘ ■ , \| if HINT’S Salve fails hi ths w—» I treatment of ITCH.
