Replying to a recent Monitor editorial, the
Woodburn Independent says:
"But the farmers of Oregon prefer
waiting to see what will be proposed by
this Farmers' Union to the North Dakota
legislature before adopting the plan in
this state. Too many Socialists and
Sindetaxers are back of the scheme to
altogether please the Oregon farmers.
But "this Farmers' Union" has already pre
sented its measures to the North Dakota legis
onrl nil nf them that could be driven thru
a reactionary senate have been adopted and are
now in operation. Kegaraiess oi wnai outw,
the members of any political
r,n4ir rr rfffA thin k about it. it any ot tnese
measures will better conditions in Oregon we
should try them. Certainly, any movement to
eliminate the rule ot the political uos uiu ui
poration hireling has some merit.
Tarlc Lait. the famous newspaper writer, aged
35, says that he can remember when street cars
were pulled by horses, when telephones were
rare novelties, when an airship was a crazy man's
proof that he was crazy, when a submarine was a
dime novel dreamer's delirium, when wireless
telegraphy couldn't be, when appendicitis was
acute indigestion, when ladies wore bustles, when
safety bicycles had never been built, when Ford
hadn't even begun to construct an automobile or
no one else with any hope of making it run, when
a big part of the west was lined oft in territories,
when there were no moving pictures, when there
were no phonographs, when men wore beards
and when eggs sold for twelve cents a dozen.
When we look back less than 35 years and scan
the progress that the world has made in that time,
we wonder what it will be like 35 years hence.
William S. Scott, coal mine owner, testifying
before a court of inquiry, said:
"There is no limit. We get what we
can. Everybody is doing that, includ
ing the farmer. I am not qualified to
say whether such a policy is right I am
doing all I can to get what I can."
We put the poor, deluded I. W. W. into jail,
and in some cases mob him, while "highbrow
anarchists" like Scott are permitted to rob the
people unmolested. If ou are looking for the
answer to the question, "Why is an I. W. W.?",
you can find it in Scott's testimony.
The entire world, civilized and uncivilized, with
theevceotion of Germany. Austria, Bulgaria and
T.,rV. lii rnnrlnrlerl to disocnse with the
services of the kaiser and his immediate family,
and it seems to be generally understood that the
i
people of the four countries named above wish
they were rid of them also, but don t dare say so.

Ford savs that ninety-five per cent of

and as a further proof of his true patriotism he is
manufacturing motor cars for the government at
