Editor Courier: In last week's Courier you say "some of thse days the state and national government will own all of these means of necessities." In this sentence you have men tioned the only question of poli tical policy that interests the Am erican voters today. The trust3 spend millions every campaign to prevent the people from even hay ing a chance to express thems elves on tho question. The one political party that does advocate this policy is growing stronger, the others are growing weaker, which proves that you are correct Wo have one thousand twenty trusts that control all the nec essaries of life and make prices on what the people have to sell as well as what they have to buy. The census of 1900, Vol. V, page 4, showes 1,774,296 farms having incomes less than two hundred fifty dollars. How much can the farmer buy back from the trust after paying taxes? The trusts can lake the big pro fits and invest them in the mort gage Mr. Farmer, has to put on his farm. Then with his added profit of in terest on farm mortgages he can buy up the timber and water pow er and hire Charlie Shields to help them prevent the people from taxing them The American farmer will be compelled to let tho mortgage take the land and work for wages for the trusts on big farms like the one owned by Charles P. Taft, in Texas, but he will have to work for the same money as the Mexi cans, as Chas. P. employs Mex icans by the thousands and man ufactures everything on this farm of 356,000 acres. The farmer like the wage earner is soon to be in the pauper class unless the U. 5. and state governments own and operate our industries, and run CANBY -, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin and Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton took dinner with Mr. and Mis.
