Now Mr. N. B. if yon were cater- j 1 ing to teclinalities you should .have , I said instead of questioning my sinI verity, that I did not know my , I onions. This perhaps would have 1 been more g amatical, you can j see by this that I really pity you, ' that is why I make this co.rectlon 1 and I hope you will appreciate the i same. And I further wish to kindly thank you for confessing to an intelligent public that I made 3 >me good points for 1 had the idea I that my contributions were nothing more than a big flop. Now if you are a ilrst rate citi-I zen as I think you are. a man that . believes in progress please explain Ito my readers,, why you didn't elaborate, on the good points and iby so doing help to accomplish

what was set forth in them, instead of trying to throw a monkey wrench Into tlie machine of progress, by your criticism of the mighty poor ones you thought 1 made. Brother, a man at this time who tries to make people believe that our dellquent tax list doesn’t approximate any more than usual is intellectually on the eve with the Coo Coo, Woodpeceker, that tries to get his breakfast by drilling a. hob Into an iron post. What 1 meant by knocking the city bailies down to the country level is this. If the price of agricultural products can not be raised so that they will be equal with the wholesale, price of all other commodities, then in the name of justice and reason ft becomes necessary to lower the price of all other commodities so that they will bo equal with the tne price 01 agricultural products. The following statistics may shed some light on this statement. Th%price index of farm products stood at 71 November 15. as compared with 100 as a five year pre-war average. The industrial wage level is twice prewar and farm taxes are 2’4 times the prear level, the price index of tlie commodities bdtight by farmers is 125 by holding up the price of manufactured goods and maintaining a labor price level of 2 times pre-war level while farm products prices were slouched to 29 points below the the five year average of the prewar level and farmers taxes were raised to 2>/4 times pre-war level. This imposition has destroyed the equalihritftn of trade and business men are being crushed under the giant roller of monopolies, because fa mers are unable to buy their products. Let me illustrate! 1 recently sold a nice young beef hide that weighed 42 lbs. and received a check for $1.26. The same day 1 bought a pair of oxfords and paid $6.00 .for them. 1 sold 31 fleeces of wool and received a check for s2f, 75. 1 had to put SIO.OO to this amount to buy a suit of clothes, now if you are willing to call tints a customa y profit. I am willing to let. the public decide for themselves what you know about present con-

I ditions. Now the only way to correct Ihis ' injustice is for voters to vote for ' I men who will be true to their con- | science and follow their convic M Hons instead of being led by the I topes that are tied to the money bags, we must gel back to tlie place where morality and religion are the . two great pillars of human happi- ; ness and in,order to do this our nation must, get out. of the Watson, Mel in business. For ten yea s our business sys- ’ tern tole rated the deflation of agri--culture. Oh! yes it was then that I the farmers cried out like the last '.voice in the wilderness but folks turned a deaf ear to them. We took our medicine and bravely fought, we carried our burdens because we 1 were encouraged by the promise ‘ ' "That prosperity was just around . the co.tier". Industries kept right ■ lon until in 1929, live hundred and ; ' four individuals reported a net in- , come of over $2,000,000 and 101,000 , I individuals reported incomes "of • ‘ over s6B,oui). I I Oh! O! Big ’boy you ask what I . would our country do without sac- • I to.les, please explain what this ■ 1 country would d.> without farmers, i I Two years after the deflation • I started in the cities, the city folks 1 I started to curl up like blighted ’ peach leaves because the lioome- ; | rang of unequal prices returned j with such a force that it knocked ■ ' a lot of them of. of their financial ■ feet. . I Now my friend you stated that ■ the city has a different standard, 11 now lets search this statement and ■ see if we can not find within it a ■ ! solution of how to knock the city - ; babies down t.i the country lad. ' j You furthe. stated that you be1 leved in justice. Where could you 1 i find more justice than to make the I I same standard for tlie city and I I country? Just a leveling up process : ’ that is all. 1 hope this will be plain ■ : enough for you to understand. ■ j Please explain how three big ’ 1 holding companies cont.ols our - j electricity, one corporation owns . ! over half of our Iron ore. Eight con- ; cerns closely allied with rail roads ■[own nea.ly 80 per cent of the na-

tions coal, two corporations control over half o,f the steel, two concerns own and control over half of meat [lacking and one percent of the banks control 99 per cent of the banking resources, and you will start l > tell the public of graft some where in our nation. No, I haven’t lost, faith In humanity hut I have lost laith in our government. When the President promises the 1 poor and farme s relief and deceives them and when he. threatens [the rich and conjoles them it is I time that this monopoly system is ; broken tip before the best class of ' people on earth the good, honest, : hard working, middle class is ruined financially. Abe Ilncoln said “That God loved the catnmon people because he made so many of them." Last fall when the fight was on i for tax relief 1 was working in or- | der to pay my share of expenses, ! that was made by the commission I that Leslie appointed to investigate | the tax question and that was all I the relief the farmers got. Three o the greatest organiza- ' lions of the world is I lie home, the I school and the church, Therefore I havn’t questioned the moral force I of teacher, neither have I said they 1 were [iaid too much. Tlie impresi sion I tried to leave was that teach [ ers are being [laid more than the I taxpayer Js aide to pay. Isn’t this I true? j Township Srter township has I been investigated ami it was found ' that teachers were not paying a 1 cent of taxes. Why shouldji't they help bare a part of the bit: den as well as any one else? One place where we are not getting a dollars worth of value for every d illar spent is with our officers. They are receiving a war [time salary in a de lated peace [time period and they are furnished ' a deputy besides. Their salaries | should be lowered so that they will j conform to the price level of the ■ tax payers products, wouldn’t this i be the proper thing to do? In my closing remark N. B. I wish j to inform you that in one respect I am like tlie colored mother who
