EVIL LURKS IN CONTRACT Spokane Company Pays $10,000 to Lawyer and $5000 to J. F. Lanjncr for Publicity. The efforts of the wheat growers' association, organized several months ago at Spokane under the name of Washing-ton, Oregon and Idaho Wheat Growers' association of the Pacific northwest, to break into the Idaho field is meeting with the same oppo sition that it has encountered else where in the northwest. Farmers of Idaho are being warned against the movement which is an apparent effort to control the distribution of Idaho wheat for at least the next six years, perhaps indefinitely. Farmer, Are Warned. At the initiative of the Intermoun tain Farmers' Equity association the facts in the case have been brought to light and in every community a move ment Is on toPt to warn the farmers to be on their guard against the Spo kane concern. A. Y. Satterfield, gen eral manager of the Farmers' Equity, points out in a letter which the equity is sending to all its members that "the farmer agrees to deliver his entire crop of wheat each succeeding year and gets for the same whatever this association pays him after deducting enormous expenses, holding up enough of his wheat to pay for the construc tion of elevators, warehouses, etc." Mr. Satterf ield's letter says in part: "These people acknowledge to our president, M. J. Kerr, that they paid the attorney, Aaron Sapiro, of San Francisco, $10,000 to draw u the contract. They also paid $5000 to one J. F. Langner for publicity and advertising work and $0000 to one A. A. Elmore for organization work. These do not include other expenses which these people will be put to and which the farmers will have to pay, specially the ones who sign this hrewd, iron-clad contract. Farmer Agrees to Pay for Salt. "One of the provisos in this con tract provides that the farmer will pay 25c per bushel as liquidating damages for breach of the contract. He also agrees to pay all expenses in every description connected with any suit which will be brought against him for breach of contract." The letter concludes: "We will thank you to investigate this matter more fully and advise your friends and associates to be ware of this new concern and thereby you will render them a great service."
