HILLSBORO AEGIS. HILLSBORO, OREGON
Organized Opposition Chases Farm
Racketeers to Cover in M idwest
XY’ ELL-ORGANIZED and welt-
” armed midwestern farmers
arc chasing back to cover gang­
sters who plied their rackets
with amazing success In rural
areas the last few years.
Residents of the farm belt are
fighting mad over depredations
of bandits who have taken ad­
vantage of unlocked chicken
houses, unprotected loads of cat­
tle, and unsuspecting check re­
cipients.
Modern anti-theft devices are
seen on many farms. Animals
and equipment wear Identifica­
tion marks. Shotguns rest In
handy places. And they're loaded
guns, too, for the farmer is dead­
ly earnest in his drive to rid
himself, his family, and his
neighbors of this new menace.
Farmers of Illinois were first
to organize. They banded to­
gether after a survey showed
that the thieves had reaped a
harvest of $4,000,000 In Illinois
alone last year, while bank rob­
bers and kidnapers got slightly
more than $1,000,000 in the en­
tire United States.
The Illinois farmers took their
case to Gov. Henry Horner, who
pledged state co-operation, and
called in Ross C. Saunders to act
ns iuspcctor of rural crime pre­
vention.
