U. K. Alkon, Mannglng Kdltor SUBSCRIPTION Ono Year, fa.OO 1'ARMKIW ON THE SHORT USD Tho Argus has boon takou to task by a tow of Its rondors 'or a rocuut novvs story Indicating Its bollof that tho contract offorod by sonio of tho commission firms for sood pototoos wns unfair to tho farmor. Tho ArgUB has not changed Its opinion. It 1b truo that tho commission men had two contracts, ono not quito so unfair as tho othor. Wo under stand, too, that thera Is still a third qontract oxtant which is ovun loss ropungant to tho ordinary sonso of fairness. Wo havo not soon that contract as yot, nor has tho offor mado by tho Argus to a roprosont atlvo of Donny & Co. to consider any statemont ho might havo to mako boon nccoptod. Wo prosumo thou that this Bllpuco Is sufficient warrant for tho bollof that ho Uoog not caro for a carof ul juxainlnntlon ' of his contract. , In tho parlonco of tho raco track tho man who bota othor than ovon monoy Is said to bo plsylng a"long Bhot." Tho man who gives long odds Is said to bo "on tho short ond"of tho hot That Is tho position of tho farmor in ono of tho crop contracts which tho commission in on nr-o, or woro otforlng. Wo rofoi to tho "half tho crop plan." It Is a fair assumption, wo aro rollably Informed, that oud Back of sood wilt produco approximately 10 sacks at digging tlmo, and undor this contract tho commission man who furnlshos tho sood would havo half of It or olght sacks. That Is not nil, ho would havo ton por cent com missions on tho salo of tho othor ton sacks, or anothor sack. 11 In would bo a ono to nlno hot. IIo takes no chanco undor that contract for ovon undor tho most advorso conditions, undor tho groatost posslblo drop In prlcos at tho digging tlmo, and tho nhortost crop probablo, still tho com mission man would win decidedly. And Uturo -would bo no chanco for tho farmor to securo any profile it uo auaworou mat ma com mission nion bo not condomnod in wholosalo for tho action of ono, that must bo admitted, but until rfthor contracts aro offorod discussion must bo conQnod to that offorod and In fairness it can bo considered as roprosontattvo of tho commission nion's attltudo, until tho contrary Is proven. Again It a said that tho commis sion Ilrm ought not bo censured broadcast for pno contract whon it has othors. Granted, but why thon dooB tho company koop tho most objoctlonablo contract Is it for tho purposo of catching tho unwary, tho lnoxperluncod, and those In such dosporato financial straits that thoj must becomo of tho victims of tho buslnosa commission sliarksT Tho good nnmo and ultimately tho buslnosa of tho commission men in this section Is at etako, Thoy should cloan tholr house of tho pirates who would prey upon tho mon who pro duco what thoy must soil. Lot thorn come boforo tho bar of public opinion with a fair and Just contract and not with a multiplicity of contracts do slgnod to catch mon in varying stages of buslnosa dependency, Let thorn bo fair. Let them glvo tho rancher tho bots ovon, or at host lot thorn securo at tho most throo sacks of potaioos at picking tlmo for tholr sood. This wo aro told Is a fair re turn by those who should know.
